Guest Reviews
- Sophie (9/5): Un séjour agréable à Papaya appartements de Sal - Le personnel est très gentil. Le bâtiment tout comme le logement était super clean. Il y a un canapé, une petite cuisine, une table. C’est plutôt spacieux. Charme du simple et efficace. A Sal il y a beaucoup de sable et il manque de paillasson et tapis car au bout d’une journée il y avait beaucoup de sable dans l’appartement. Le lit est petit (140cm).
- Nádia Patrícia (8/5): Irei voltar!! - Espaço remodelado e moderno. Muito proximo às praias Não tem estores ou cortinas blackout, assim que amanhece já está tudo claro.
- Zineb M (10/5): Excellent rapport qualité prix - Hôte arrangeant Personne qui travaille là qui parlait fort très tôt le matin quotidiennement.
- Marilena (10/5): - The staff was super friendly and the apartment was super moderne and nice. There wasn’t a lot of warm water for the shower. We were here in 3 in the apartment and after the first one finished to shower there wasn’t warm water anymore.
- Alessia (10/5): Perfect stay - Everything was perfect. Great position with many good restaurants around. The apartment has everything we needed, and the manager was super nice. Nothing negative, all was perfect !
- Beatriz (8/5): Agradable aunque un poco caro - Todo nuevo y limpio. Las camas eran cómodas y nos dejaron un café delicioso de cortesía. No tiene ascensor y para llegar a la calle principal hay que cruzar un descampado. No tienen persianas y amanece muy pronto.
- Margarida (10/5): -
- Geovanna (9/5): Apartamento limpo, arejado, novo e perto de tudo. - Higiene impecável, profundamente limpo sem cheio de produtos fortes, roupa de cama e toalhas limpíssimos, utensílios de cozinha suficientes, espaço ,5 minutos da praia e da rua de restaurantes e bares, equipe amigável e gentil. A troca de toalhas , ficamos hospedados 5 dias e pelo menos a casa dois dias trocar as toalhas ( já que para nós higienizar o quarto não é necessário e nos mesmo fazemos ) mas usar toalhas molhadas e sujas depois de três dias foi inconveniente, no último dia comprei uma toalha em uma loja.
- Pablo (10/5): -
- Stefan (8/5): -
- Hein (9/5): Heerlijk - Fijn onderkomen. Heerlijk terras. Niets.
- Santos Lima (10/5): Erg goede appartementcomplex! - Een heel schoon appartement in een rustige straat en vlakbij meerdere stranden. Het appartement is van alle gemakken voorzien: chill balkon, schone fijne badkamer, wasmachine (inclusief wasrek), fijne keuken, de bank zit lekker en het bed slaapt heerlijk! Was ook erg leuk en zen ingericht. Ik raad dit complex zeker aan, 10/10!
- Sónia (9/5): Foi uma estadia super agradável e tranquila, muito próximo do centro. - Localização fantástica, limpeza impecável, correspondeu ao que foi apresentado. Apesar de não nos ter feito falta, ausência de TV.
- Vlastimil (10/5): - Vše bylo skvělé v rámci místních možností! Sal je příliš turistický plný Evropanů. Oceán nádherný.
- Irene (7/5): Ok, aber doch etwas enttäuschend - Die Wohnung ist neu und gut ausgestattet
Wir konnten unser Gepäck am Abreisetag bis 8 Uhr im Büro lassen Zum hohen Preis der Wohnung passt es nicht, dass pro Woche nur ein großes und ein kleines Handtuch bereit gestellt wird und man für Zwischenreinigung und Handtuchwechsel noch zusätzlich bezahlen muss.
Auf der Terrasse gibt es es keinerlei Sonnenschutz, obwohl sie von 8 bis 17 Uhr voll in der Sonne liegt und somit tagsüber kaum nutzbar ist.
Vor allem im Bad, aber auch im Zimmer gab es viele Ameisen.
- vincent (8/5): Calme et reposant - Le calme autour du logement et la proximité du supermarché
- Nurten (8/5): -
- Melle (7/5): -
- Koren (9/5): Beautiful apartments - Second stay in papaya apartments, they are very clean and modern.
Staff are really nice and helpful. easy check in/out. The only downside I would say is not having a TV, would be a nice addition as they have everything else you could want/need
- Lunguela (10/5): - J’ai tout apprécié de l’établissement. L’agencement des meubles, la décoration, l’entièreté de l’appartement était parfait. L’équipe de l’établissement a été aux petits soins avec nous. Je reviendrai dans ce logement si j’ai l’occasion de retourner à Sal.
- Alvaro (10/5): - El diseño del edificio y el mantenimiento así como su ubicación
- Zezo Lucie (10/5): Inoubliable et la population est conviviale , avenante , souriante et serviable . - Appartement bien équipé , très propre , très bien situé, près de la plage , près des restaurants , près des commerces de proximité, près de la grande place Santa Maria , près des moyens de transports, près de l’aéroport . Personnel très à l’écoute et très
accueillant et agréable. Mes filles et moi avons beaucoup apprécié cet endroit .

- Sabrina (9/5): Molto bello - Bellissimo appartamento come nuovo, posizione ottima a pochi passi dalla spiaggia e centro di Santa Maria, host molto disponibile
- Camila (10/5): Ótima opção de alojamento na ilha do sal (Santa Maria) - Fomos em casal (lua-de-mel) e não podia ter escolhido melhor. O Staff foi super atencioso e prepararam uma surpresa para nós, o quatro estava lindo e adorámos a surpresa!
Perto do centro da cidade, da praia, dos restaurante, do supermercado e da farmácia. Ótima localização, muito tranquilo e seguro.
O apartamento é bastante espaçoso e confortável (ficámos no apartamento com varanda) com todas as comodidades necessárias.
Recomendo!

- Zoi (10/5): Exceptional - I had a great stay at the Papaya Apartments in Sal, Cape Verde. It was clean, modern, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment is clearly well taken care of and fully equipped.
The location was ideal—just a short walk to the beach and the town center, with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. One thing that really mattered to me, especially as I was traveling alone, was how safe and secure the place felt. I felt completely at ease during my entire stay.
Overall, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Sal!
- Jude (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was absolutely lovely, especially the ones with a balcony. It's just a few minutes away from the beach, restaurants, and clubs—an ideal location! You really can’t go wrong with this apartment. The staff and owner were all warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be staying here again in the future.
- José (10/5): Exceptional -
- Flavia (10/5): It was well equipped, clean and very spacious -
- Frank (10/5): - We liked just about everything about this property. The quiet environment, the kind and helpful management, the clean environment etc etc. I highly recommend this this place for anyone visiting Sal.
- Olga (10/5): We had a blast! - Nice and modern property, close to the beach as well as several food places. We enjoyed the terrace very much! The stuff was super nice, helped us with a taxi to and from the airport. We will definitely be back! Nothing
- Elisabeth Skytte (10/5): Amazing place in Santa Maria - We stayed in a beautiful and stylish apartment on the outskirts of Santa Maria, and we couldn't have been more satisfied with our four-night stay. The apartment exuded a pleasant atmosphere with modern decor and all the amenities we needed. Its spacious layout provided us with plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. With a perfect location that combined tranquility and proximity to the vibrant energy of the town, it was an ideal base for our adventures. We would definitely recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Santa Maria.
- Marc (9/5): Superb -
- Emmanuel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jay (10/5): Exceptional from start to finish - The apartment is modern and spacious. The staff are exceptional and the property is centrally located near the strip and all surrounding activities/restaurants. We were accommodated to the highest standard and felt very safe coming to and from the property throughout the whole trip. I can’t thank them enough for making our first trip to Cape Verde so memorable. The only thing I didn’t like was that we couldn’t stay longer!
- Lucelinda (7/5): Good - Not applicable I only didn’t like the fact that wasn’t any television in the facility
- Alfredo (10/5): Papaya Apartments- Wonderful 10/10!! - Absolute beautiful apartment, modern, fresh and light! Great communication before and throughout with staff- Sonia and Valle the manager via whattsapp. All kitchen amenities available and washing machine was a bonus! Fast wifii and air-con was a bonus! 5 mins walk to beach and main strip! Supermarket on your front door! Would definitely stay here again 💯 Thank you!
- Bless (9/5): I enjoyed my stay overall, good value for money. - Close to local amenities: shop, restaurant, beach . Clean and tidy.
Cooking utensils , toiletries The room was quite clumsy, I think less unneeded furniture can be taken out to create more space.
No TV,
- Rachel (10/5): Amazing!! - Great location. Super friendly staff. The apartment had everything I needed l. It was a home away from home. Brilliant from start to finish!
- Faycal (9/5): Superb -
- Marco (10/5): Very nice place - Everything was perfect.
Not a single problem with them.
Nice apartment with everything you might need.
Highly recommended
- Otto (10/5): Highly recommended for a stay on Sal! - What we liked the most about the apartment was how beautifully furnished it was. It felt like being at home but with a touch of luxury! The location was also great, just a 5-minute walk from the main street, port, and beaches, where all the activities are, yet situated in a quiet neighbourhood with no noise in the evening.
Overall, check-in was very smooth as we could pick up the keys from a locker, making the process hassle-free and convenient. The hosts were very responsive and provided clear instructions, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment was also well-equipped with all the amenities, including a fully functional kitchen, Wi-Fi, and comfortable bedding.
We enjoyed a lot our stay and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Sal!
