Barlavento Islands Hotel Guide - Hotels with Air Conditioning in Barlavento Islands, Africa

"We booked the hotel last minute, which means we only had the choice of their last room available, a standard room. Whilst the room was their cheapest, we were fine. However, the rest of the hotel was faultless from arrival to leaving.The location of the hotel was probably the best location of all the hotels as it was near to everything that we required. "

"We had a brilliant stay! Staff were fantastic and room was very comfy. Food was delicious - we saw some subpar reviews of the food but really don't know what more people could want, especially on a small island where everything is imported! We had a fantastic time and will be back! "

"We stayed at Vila Verde for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year in a huge apartment. It has a very relaxed and chilled out feel in the complex, an others mentioned parts need updating but this is being done.

We would definitely recommend and return here as it’s just the peaceful relaxing stay we were wanting."

Towels and linens 5 star quality. "

"Clean, stylish room ( we had a junior suite), lively gardens around pool- full credit to cleaners gardeners and the staff we met. It’s not in the beach ( 3 min short walk ) on a road but not noisy and hid from view with cleaver design touches. The problem is in some policies. Charging for water in the room is outrageous. It’s not complimentary coffee when you have to spend £2.50 to put water in the machine. Straight off a flight, with no water and paying for it - no shops nearby at all, is really poor. A hotel at this price should have complimentary room water, every day."
