Melia hotels in Sal, Cape Verde

"Staff was great and friendly, location was great. Just a few blocks from the beach and the boardwalk."

"Clean room, amazing friendly staff. Was checked on regularly as a solo traveller and was given substantial information on the surrounding area and places to go. Convenient location from the main strip in Santa Maria."

"Overall really good."

"The property is new and clean, you always see the staff cleaning, the suite is well laid out and clean. They refill our water bottles everyday. But we didn't have slippers in the room until I asked a few times then they delivered them after 3 days, and there's only 1 toilet in the suite. We went in April while it's about 25 degrees, it's quite windy so can't really swim in the sea with the big waves, the pool water also is cold so while I swam a bit, my young kids didn't want to. Food is good in the hotel, they always have 1/2 live cooking stations. Overall it's a beautiful place, nice property, but because of the wind and lack of other things to do with young kids I'm not sure I'll return. I do love the property ground it is beautiful, and the staff are helpful and friendly. "

"I could not praise the staff enough at this hotel - they are all so friendly, helpful and super attentive. The food options were excellent and the buffet meals changed daily (with a few consistent staples. Whilst I agree with some reviews that the rooms are a bit outdated - they were always cleaned properly. The rest of the hotel was not outdated (and who spends enough time in the hotel room to care about it being outdated) and had a good blend of natural elements to make every part of the hotel enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this hotel. "

"Lack of non-alcoholic alternatives."

"Hotel spotlessly clean, food varied and really good. Pools and beach had plenty of sunloungers, plenty of shade. Staff polite and friendly. Minor problem with light switch in room was solved in half an hour. Everything you'd expect from a Riu hotel."

"Lovely hotel with great views and friendly staff. Big rooms with stunning setting. "

"Excellent property. Very few sea facing rooms. Evening entertainment was good. Food was excellent and spoilt for choice. No kids was added advantage. Lot of activities to choose"
