"Staff was friendly, Food was delicious and we enjoyed the pool everyday! "

"The apartment is well maintained and was spotlessly clean. A couple of really minor issues were almost instantly resolved and the communication throughout the booking and the stay was excellent.The resort common areas are clean and well maintained. There’s always loads of vacant loungers on the sunny and pleasantly breezy beach. Buy drinks or coffee from the hotel bars with your credit card which are cheap and strong! The Dunas hotel has some bad reviews but that doesn’t affect the apartment or common areas so don’t let that put you off.Villa Verde supermarket is an easy 10 min walk away or shop in town at the Chinese-run Huang Supermarket had the best range and prices. The host can recommend great restaurants. Also try Cafe Creolo for the best cooked grilled fish I’ve ever had - and for something a bit fancier try Sal Grosso. Walk about 20 mins south down the beach to Ponta Preta for amazing seafood on the beach (plus free sunloungers for customers). Taxis are readily available outside the resort to town with a fixed fare of EUR5. It’s also a safe 35 min walk back from town if you prefer.Santa Maria is very safe but scruffy in places (this is Africa not Europe). On the beach folks will try to sell you souvenirs but they’ll leave you alone if you give them a polite but firm “no”. The resort’s WiFi is slow so don’t count on streaming movies while you’re here so download the Google Map of the island for offline use and use free restaurant WiFi to sync your Facebook!"

"I had a really lovely stay here for 4 nights on a solo trip. Gorgeous location, really handy free shuttle into Santa Maria a couple of times a day and easy to book a (paid) transfer to and from the airport. Food is off a menu for breakfast and dinner (I opted for half board) good quality and large portions. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. "
