Not impressed with the room, or the style of seperate houses. We stayed at Melia Unas for 5 days their set was better, paths of tiles not gravel. I asked for a hairdryer it never came. Food was good and all the staff very helpful and pleasent.

The staff were really friendly, especially Erica who went above and beyond — she was just so lovely and welcoming. We paid extra for birthday decorations for our mum’s room, and the team really went the extra mile to make it look beautiful, which made her day feel so special. I wouldn’t class the hotel as a 5*, more of a solid 4*, but I honestly couldn’t fault it and would definitely stay again if I came back to Cape Verde!

The hotel grounds were lovely as were the staff. However the hotel is very outdated and will look slightly different to the photos. We also had ants all over our bed when we first arrived so had to get the covers changed twice and the shower towels sometimes did not appear clean.

Didn’t realise our room would be next to building site. Staff nice, food and drink nice. Hotel looked dated and felt ‘not quite finished’. Blood stain on one of the blanket throws on the bed. Felt we were here for too short a stay (3 nights) to change rooms as we were told we could only change rooms the following day. Despite this we loved our short break.

Check-in problems

When we arrive at 2 o'clock in the morning we discovered that we had no room there,even if we had booked in April and we had to go to another Melia resort in the nearby. we were very disappointed also for the standard of the premises that it is not at all a 5-star hotel, as you can see from the picture. We had to argue all the time with the respinsables to have 2 roomkeys (not available we had just one ), to enter the spa and to reserve restaurants. Luckily all the ordinary staff was very kind and available to help and find solutions. The other Melia Dunas has more facilities than Tortuga and the beach is fantastic. Overall holiday was nice but for sure there is a lot to improve

If you're thinking of staying here, I would say DON'T. This hotel is NOT 5* nor is it a 4. I would say it's a 3 at a push. We arrived just after 3pm and the room was not ready. The initial room we were given was 513 and the air conditioning did not work. That night, I suffered 100 mosquito bites. No joke. Not even lying. We went down to reception to ask if they would look at the a/c and they sent a maintenance man up to have a look. He said it was fixed when he changed it from 'cool' to 'fan'. This did not work and the room was still like a sauna. Asked again for someone to look at the unit where this time, 2 men turned up and said it needed gas. It doesn't need gas, it needs a whole new system! Wasn't happy as this a/c still wasn't working either so they upgraded us to a villa. The 1st villa, guess what? The a/c didn't workl! Finally, room 433 had working a/c. This room was bigger but it also came with ants in the bed. I get this is a tropical country but really?? The lamps didn't work, the TV had 4 channels and the batteries in thee rmotes had seen better days. I've ve come away lost weight, but also going home with diabetes and high blood pressure.

We were sad that La Cabana didn't have Calamari and Spinach Crockettes. Also some of the food like pasta was cold that should have been hot at the Spices. We would have liked to have seen some pizza at the buffet.

The atmosphere and landscaping looks really great. However, we couldn’t make reservations for dinner because they were always full, minutes after opening time. It was nearly impossible to get hot water in our villa so we took cold showers every night. Lastly, none of the bars would make any drinks without alcohol. For being “all inclusive” they only mean for people who drink alcohol. We stayed in a hotel in Praia that had burning hot water and was a fraction of the cost. I won’t be staying here again.
