Guest Reviews
- Cornell (10/5): - Great property and friendly staff.
- Bruno (10/5): - O
- Christine (8/5): - Für einen Aufenthalt von zwei Nächten völlig ok. Sehr hellhörig die Zimmer. Bett war bequem und Dusche hat gut funktioniert. Frühstück war sehr lecker und Personal zuvorkommend.
- Helio (10/5): - Quiet with beautiful view.
- Didier (10/5): - Great
- Jean Jamil (6/5): - It was an OK stay. The staff was pleasant, the rooms are large, but window area cleanliness was not perfect when I arrived. It's a very nice hotel for a one to two-day tourism stay. I stayed for a week on a business trip. Breakfast did not have a lot of variety. Not sure I'll stay there again next time I am in town.
- Annick DUPART ép. (10/5): - Personnel très sympathique mais repas pas assez varié
- ALDO (10/5): - La camera e la piscina molto buone e anche la reception
- Jorge (8/5): Nice hotel to be updated - This is a ver old hotel that needs to be updated.
- Barnaby (8/5): - Pleasant hotel with a nice central pool. Food was plain and fairly uninteresting. Staff generally v helpful. One weird encounter with a waitress who evidently hadn't been taught that the customer comes first.
- Dimitris (8/5): - Very nice property with very friendly staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable stay - A good breakfast. Lovely pool but rather too windy to enjoy it while we were there. Room ok....very spacious
- Daniel (8/5): Zimmer mit Balkon - Schöne Bar. Schönes Hotel, aber kein Strand. Gehe zu Fuss zur Praia Canela (!). Keine Unterhaltung, aber gut gelegen; nur 2€ zum Plateau. Essen gut und preislich sehr ok. Sehr gutes Personal. Ruhig.
- Sylvia (10/5): - Nice pool and easy walking to some nearby restaurants
- Søren Hesselberg (6/5): Slidt hotel og personale. - Købt som værelse med balkon og havudsigt. Vi delte opgang med 3 andre værelser, der alle skulle “gennem” vores balkon når de skulle ned til poolen. Havudsigt var der, når man strakte sig på balkonen… Det hele godt slidt, rengøring tålelig, uden at være prangende. Dog var det værste, den manglende entusiasme hos personalet, ingen smil, nærmest til ulempe i baren. Bedste beskrivelse er vel triste mennesker 😳. Lidt ærgerligt når man holder ferie. Endelig var der alt for mange larmende børn på hotellet
- Martin (8/5): Nettes Hotel am Stadtrand - Schönes kleines Hotel mi Pool in guter Lage. Zimmer groß und geräumig, Betten bequem, Frühstück und Essen gut, Zimmerservice verbesserungswürdig
- Robert Ray (8/5): - The hotel overall is okay but the food in the restaurant is limited and the chicken is do tuff until you cannot chew it. Do is the tuna which they pride themselves on.
- Phillip (10/5): - The best hotel for value
- Jørn (6/5): Som forventet - Pris og standard er passende. Dog et plus at i baren kan få noget at spise hele dagen, hvis restauranten er lukket.
- Luis (8/5): - Fairly nice place; friendly staff. Will be even nicer after upcoming (long overdue) remodeling.
- Cécile (8/5): - J'ai particulièrement apprécié la qualité de service, le sourire et la bonne humeur de l'ensemble du personnel. Une amélioration à envisager : plus informations pour les visiteurs qui ne connaissent pas. Où aller ? Que voir ? Conseils pratiques, etc
- Darina (8/5): - Great hotel and staff
- Antonio (2/5): - The people who work at reception rooms and breakfast are very good but this hotel in terms of menu need to change a lot of things. I don’t understand why if you order a plate of steak or fish it’s doesn’t come with any side. In terms of food and the management,this hotel is in a bad way
- Antonio (2/5): - Checked in a 2:30 am almost half hour for computer to boot up so I can pay. Since it was so late I could have paid next morning at check out.
- Audilia (8/5): - This was my second time staying at the hotel. We were to stay 3 nights, however our flight from S. Filipe was cancelled therefore we missed or first night, we requested a refund of the first night since flight cancellation was no fault of ours, however it wasn’t honored, was disappointed with that, however, the stay was nice, staff were friendly and eager to help out. Breakfast buffet was exceptional. Lunch was superb.
- Stefan (4/5): - Hotel ist stark renovierungsbedürfig, Zimmer hat nach Rauch gerochen, Ersatzzimmer war ohne Safe. Poolhandtücher waren auf zweimalige Nachfrage in der Wäsche. Hotel ist maximal 2-3 Sterne wert
- Theodorus (6/5): - Voor kaap verdiese standaarden een redelijk goed hotel.
- Jimmy (8/5): - Good location and comfortable bedding.
- Cesarino (10/5): - Beautiful hotel friendly staff - room maintenance can be better but overall great stay Loved the breakfast
- Verified traveler (10/5): Working to please. - Only a one night stay. Lovely ambience with bar area and reception well designed. Not too sure if it's suitable as a holiday destination, but good for a short visit.
- tracy (8/5): - Cleanliness of the room was the only fault. Otherwise the hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. Restaurant food was very very good. Breakfast buffet very good too
- Daniel (10/5): - Staff was incredible. Becky, Carlos, Silvana, Mr. Lopes our housekeeper Maria and the entire staff made the trip. They took care of everything we needed. This is the only place to stay in Praia.
- ROGER (10/5): - Always very helpful staff, the best hotel to stay at in Praia.
- Aichetou (6/5): - Noise
- Tarik (8/5): - It is the best hotel in praia. It just not a reel 4 stars. a bit old. the room is not made sometimes. The breakfast buffet is ok ... nothing fancy
- Karl (10/5): - Clean, AC worked well, Staff was friendly .
- Nouhou (10/5): - Friendly staff at front desk, restaurant and room service. My kids andd I had the best time in Praia.
- Latir (10/5): - Great place to stay in Praia. Staff is excellent, facilities are very nice and pleasant, and the location is very convenient.
- FRANCISCO (10/5): - Nice plastic to stay
- Eric (8/5): Decent stay, convenient when working in Praia. - Decent three star hotel, standard sort of small island place. Staff are friendly. The beds aren't great though... the matresses are very basic, can feel the spring coils through the thin padding, and the pillows aren't very good either. The towels are nice and fluffly though.
- hm (10/5): - Perfect place to end the holiday
- SEMYYA (10/5): Best Hotel in Praia - Had an amazing stay here!
- Paulino (10/5): - The food was no good
- Rosa (8/5): - The property is beautiful and well kept. Will definitely stay again with no hesitation.
- Licinio (10/5): Family trip - I was so impressed with this hotel it was very clean and well organized and the crew were nice. It will be on my list for the future trip to CV 👌👌
- Audilia (10/5): - We only stayed one night because we were traveling next day to the USA, the hotel and staffs were exceptional. Smooth transition from Check in to check out, staffs were friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with a fresh fruit platter. Wish we all had enough time to enjoy their continental breakfast, which l was able to take a quick bite before we hurriedly headed to the airport. During out next trip to Caoeverde, We will definitely consider staying again at Hotel Pestana!
- Monica (10/5): - The hotel staff is friendly and accommodations are clean.
- Maria T (10/5): - Great location, room was clean and friendly staff
- Anthony (8/5): - Large clean room. Property clean. Staff really nice with the exception of the bartender in the late afternoon. He was just miserable.
- Lashon (10/5): Best hotel in Praia - It was an amazing stay and love the pool!
- Edson (10/5): - Clean beautiful food is amazing I had great time staying there.
- Anne (8/5): - The staff was very helpful.
- Danijar (6/5): Not great - Out of the two 4-star hotels in this area, I prefer the other one. The pestana has the worst food in Praia in my opinion, the overall hotel service isn’t great, rooms dated…wouldn’t recommend.
- Frederick (6/5): - Pros: room clean, bathroom clean, AC working fine, location is safe Soso: breakfast Cons: infrastructure (there was no hot water in my room) hotel staff reaction (no action taken or room change)
- Joao (8/5): - It was a very good stay, and good location. Just missed a gym
- Nikki (8/5): - Everything was great except the last minute notice of the wedding that did not allow the guests to use the amenities the day of. If you wanted to relax that evening the band was set up as a full concert
- Roderick (10/5): - I didn't like people begging for money, every time I exited the hotel.
- Eli (6/5): - The rooms were nice. Location was convenient
- Nana (8/5): - The location was prime for walking around Praia city and close distance by taxi to locations that were further out. The staff were lovely and happy to help us, especially Eunice in the restaurant and all the front desk attendants. The restaurant was delicious as were the free breakfasts. The pool was a sublime saltwater surprise.
- Angel (10/5): - Everything
- Masse (10/5): - Nicest people
- Carlyne (10/5): - Amazing time! Just what I needed during these difficult times - no stress country and hotel!!! I will be back!
- jeannie (10/5): Not prepared to help with Covid testing - Very nice hotel with wonderful staff. Hotel was what I expected, breakfast had a lot of choices. My only complaint is that the front desk did not have a clue as to help with Covid 19 test needed to leave the island. They sent us to the wrong place originally and we had to take another cab to a different testing site. We were lucky some random person was able to help us with our cab driver to give him the correct location. We were told that our results would be emailed to us the next day. They were not. We found out from another guest that we needed to pick them up. The pick up location was supposed to have closed at 1:00 it was now 1:40. The 2 ladies at the front desk would not call the site to tell them we were coming. It worked out in the end but was a lot of unnecessary stress. All they need is clear instructions printed in a few different languages to hand out to guests. There is not much English spoken on the island.
- Daniel (10/5): - The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The pool area is great. I highly Recommend.
- Jacqueline (10/5): Welcoming hosts of pandemic proportions - We were semi stranded waiting on an emergency flight back to the US. Gonçalo and his staff made us feel at home and were available to help with any small detail. They kept us well informed and calm. Room, pool, and meal services were excellent! Thank you so much!
- MikeRuscitti (10/5): - Excellent hotel. Very clean, great breakfast, many ammenities. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - This hotel is good for working environment conference etc... for vacation i don’t recommande it.
- RonZ (8/5): - I was in the farthest room from the restaurant/bar/reception which was nice for privacy but not so for convenience
- kat (8/5): - I loved its close proximity to restaurant and beaches
- Verified traveler (10/5): - nice staff.............................................
- JohnM. (10/5): - Our stay at the Pestana Tropico was perfect in every way. The hotel staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. I give the hotel the highest rating. I would most certainly stay again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall was a good stay. However, the pictures of the massive swimming pool overlooking the ocean is not a reality. Its 4 times smaller and you don't see the ocean from it as it covered by vegetation. I also think that this hotel is overpriced. I would pay $60 per night but not a $100 +... (No soap in the room only dush gel that drys your skin)
- Johan (10/5): Good pool area, great restaurant - Great pool area (though salt water), but most importantly not too windy as the other hotel I stayed at!
- Ruben (10/5): a taste of Praia - Fantastic place to enjoy a few days in Praia...close to good food, good music and local sights and beaches.
- John (8/5): - Nice hotel near seafront. Brilliant view depending on which room you get. Nice room spoilt by 2 single beds instead of double. Why do hotels think couples want to sleep on 2 single beds? Also spoilt by door to balcony getting stuck on floor and key not working properly. No kettle to make your own beverages. Friendly helpful staff, some could be trained better. No communication between shifts. Salt water swimming pool leaves salt taste in mouth as expected. Buffet breakfast with cold and hot food with indifferent staff. Safe in room useful to keep your valuables worry free. Helps if you speak Portuguese or Creole.
- Steven J (8/5): Nice but neither worth the money nor the 4* rating - Nice place but not worth the price nor the high rating. Gym pretty much non existent Pool extremely cold No facilities such as table tennis, games etc. Limited space around pool, all in direct sun (tarps against sun protection would be highly recommended) Nice breakfast but very limited selected for this price Room service did not provide towels and took 3h and 2 calls to finally get them
- Jamie (10/5): Nice, no resort beach - Very nice place to stay. Within short walking distance to a beach. Would be nice to have better WiFi options.
- Michel (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, great swimming pool (salt water which makes total sense given the water issues in Cabo Verde). Attentive staff and very helpful manager who helped me with setting up business contacts. And the restaurant is excellent, try the suckling pig
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cape Verde Hotel - We were getting off a boat and waiting for a flight around midnight. There were three of us and just needed a room to crash for a few hours. No elevator but staff carried luggage up the stairs to the room.
- Clive (10/5): A clean and modern place to stay. - The hotel provided transport to and from the Airport. Check in and check out were painless. Rooms have been refurbished. I’d choose a room which overlooks the open air pool area. Breakfasts are very good and the quality of food served in them Restaurant is excellent. There are always taxis waiting outside to take you wherever you want to go. The Hotel’s hapoy to arrange for English speaking drivers to take you on longer excursions too. If you ask for tea/ coffee making stuff it will be provided. Although there’s building going on next door, I’d stay there again.
- Kate (8/5): Very Comfortable hotel in Praia - We enjoyed a very restful break here in February. The hotel has all the amenities & comfort that we required. Our room was spacious and very clean with good views of the pool, patio & the sea. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We stayed on a half board basis. The buffet breakfast was good and varied. The evening meal choice was rather repetitive & limited. We ate out on one occasion at the wonderful portugese restaurant Chef Theresa, which is only minutes away from the hotel. We toured the island with a very friendly & informed taxi driver, who spoke very good English. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tropico Pestana & would recommend it. They even provided a birthday cake for a special birthday celebration without any prompting on our part!!
- carl (10/5): very reasonable hotel - hotel manager very helpful regarding late night departure
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel but lacking in service - Although the hotel is overall fine & our stay went well, it lacks in service for a 4 star hotel. For example, they advertise a free shuttle to the airport upon request. Although we had requested one in advance, our shuttle was nowhere to be found on our arrival. For our return trip to the airport, we had to go through 3 people before getting ''approval from management'' for it. Another example: they advertise room service. However, there is no room service menu in your room & absolutely no breakfast options once they get you the restaurant diner menu. We were a couple and only had 1 bathrobe. Every single day of our 3 day stay, we never had a pool towel available. Nobody offers you drinks at the pool and there are only 2 umbrellas for shade. Etc etc... Basically, clean hotel, we liked our room and had a nice stay, staff was friendly... but definitely not a 4-star hotel service in my book.
- Robert (8/5): Not as nice as the photos - We reserved a room with two queen beds, and were given a room with two iron single beds made up as a double. The poor bellman had to remake the beds into two very uncomfortable and squeaky singles.
- DP (10/5): Outstanding hotel in Praia, Cabo Verde - I am an American who has traveled extensively and I must commend the Pestana owners for hiring a talented and energetic new hotel director/GM who has already made a huge difference with this hotel from last year when I visited and stayed for two weeks. In sum: - The staff is now much more customer focused, attentive, and friendly; - the food and drinks are much, much better; - the rooms are in much better shape with greater attention to detail in both cleanliness, appearance, and comfort. While other hotels nearby may have more rooms or appear to be more midern, I have visited and dine there, and I would rate this hotel as by far the best in Praia due to its superb new GM, great staff, more comfortable rooms, consistently great food, and genuine fit with the country and wonderful people (the President of CV lives to visit the hotel for a coffee).
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great food, specially the tuna!!! - had to change rooms because WiFi did not work in first room
- Ashley (8/5): Hidden Gem - 1. One of the really great restaurants I've ever tried is a 2 min walk from the hotel; Chef Theresa. Fab individually cooked (home cooking style) menu heavily influenced by Portugese cuisine (owners/chef are Portugese) and one of the best wine selections you'll find on planet earth! Prices above Cape Verde average but still realistic and tremendous value. Super décor, tables indoors in a/c or 'al fresco'.
- Drew (10/5): Great Hotel! - great hotel! Staff was very helpful and dedicated to making you stay a pleasant one. Would definitely reccommend this hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The service was great with friendly and very much willing to help hotel staff. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable/relaxing to stay. The only item that needs to require improvement is food. The breakfast/dinner was better at the nearby hotel of a similar rank.
- ados (6/5): basic hotel for a night or two in Praia - hotel is nice, the food choices are limited and the view not so great.
- John (4/5): Four Star Hotel! - First I must say that the hotel staff were excellent and very helpful But a four star hotel it is not. In the UK it may have rated three stars at most. The following is a list of deficiencies in the room. There were no tea/coffee making facilities. No iron or trouser press. No easy chair(s) Very little drawer space for anyone staying more than a few days, my wife and I ended up living mostly out of our suitcases! Also we had no clean sheets for our entire two week stay! The bathroom was quite small and the door could not be closed.. There were greasy finger prints on the wardrobe doors when we arrived and still there when we left, I am sure they are still there now! A safe was provided for our valuables etc which was good but unfortunately it was not secured, anybody could have picked it up and walked off with it. The door to our balcony could not be opened from the outside, maybe the lock had been changed. So instead of a short walk down our steps to the pool we had to walk the entire length of our wing to get there, about five minutes rather than thirty seconds. There was very little useful information in the room in regard to useful info. eg things to do, information on the local area, day trips, restaurants and places of interest. There was helpful info in the foyer but nothing in the room. There was no separate lounge area for guests, there was only the bar or foyer area.
- Mariane (8/5): Kap Verde - Tropico recommanded - I am not good in English write
- TOM (10/5): Perfection in Paradise - The Tropico is clearly the class of the two top hotels, and very reasonably priced. The staff is very attentive, from the custom omelettes for breakfast, to the great bar staff, to the excellent front desk. Compared to the competition, the pool is better, the view is better, and the location is better. You can walk to a nice ocean beach if you want that.
- Genette (8/5): Pestana Tropico in Praia - Very great hotel staff and nice breakfast!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good facilities - Good location near the beach, with a good breakfast and helpful staff. There is a small gym and a good sized pool.
- kate (10/5): Superb hotel, resort like feel! - Amazing staff, free buffet breakfast with endless iptions. Free wifi throughout hotel and room. Rent a car right at the hotel and taxis too. There is not much to do in Praia, so having this amazing hotel with a pool and the beach there was a blessing!
- Tangerino (8/5): One night transit - Well located. Close to the city. We were there first week of March. Was windy so we did not use the pool. The morning buffet was ok. The bar serves a few dishes, very good. To be improved: wifii coverage in the hotel.
- Peter (8/5): Pestana review - Good business hotel , comfortable rooms , friendly staff.
- pedro (8/5): nice and friendly - Nice and comfortable hotel friendly staff, good quality-price overall hotel
- Emily (10/5): Must stay in Praia! - The hotel was the nicest hotel I stayed in in Cape Verde, the service at the front desk was super helpful and pleasant. Almost everyone at the hotel spoke some degree of English so communication was never an issue.
