The room was very clean. Perhaps a bit dated and in need of a fresh coat of paint. Other rooms were getting renovated. The room was spacious. AC worked well, internet worked well. Breakfast was good, but not really ready by 7am. It's all on island time!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mansa Marina Hotel. The hotel's facilities are quite good, with a nice pool and really good breakfast.

Our room was large with plenty of floor space and plugs to charge things. Wifi was available throughout.

Staff were friendly and very helpful.

There's a good car hire firm opposite the hotel behind the supermarket called Ocidente Rent-a-car.

Nearby Nautilus restaurant is a good dining option and the hotel is walking distance to the ferry to Santo Antao.

A taxi from the airport to the hotel is CVE 1200.

A couple of negatives were the open bathroom policy. There's no door so no privacy when you want to use the toilet. For some people that may not matter. For us, we the other just sat outside for a bit.

Also, although the pool is lovely, it did feel a bit like you were on display as it's easily visible from many other areas around the seafront.

The hotel is in need of some serious maintenance, Everywhere, paint and bits of concrete are missing. We had a beachview room: never choose this one. It has a large window that looks on the beach, but the people on hte beach also look directly into your room, so we had to keep the curtains closed all the time. Moreover, the window cannot be opened, because it opens directly onto the beach and you would get a lot of visitors in your room. The swimming pool is not as big as it looks and the toilets near the swimming pool stink of mould, a smell that carries over to the restaurant above it. The reception personnel was in general friendly and the waiters as well. The included breakfast is limited in choice. They have a dispenser for three types of cereals, of which one is empty and the other two are filled with the same cereal. If you want milk in your cereal (there is no yogurt) , you have to ask the waitress. The choice of fruit juice depends on the day, so be prepared for surprises.

I didn't get the room I paid for because the air con was broken. Although they fixed it the next day it was a major hastle to move. I think I should really be reimbursed for the difference. The pool area needs alot more shade and the pool has the wrong tiles. They are slippy and dangerous. I didn't eat in the restaurant but my friends said it was very goid. Outside ares need to be painted. So overall I have a mixed review. This hotel could easily be very good. The staff need to make a small extra effort to look after customers and smile. That would help alot.

Lovely looking hotel right in the centre of the city however the hotel is not fully ready ie there were no cushions for the sun loungers to use by the pool, some areas still under construction and breakfast is not the best. For the high price paid, it is not worth it at this point in time. It will be once everything is set up.

Nice little boutique hotel that has seen better days. Great mattress, each room has TV w/ Netflix & couch which I loved. White towels very stained, shower dingy white etc. Terrible food. Still, nice to be right in the center of town with a pool. Check if there is a party as these can get loud ( wld be great if property provided earbuds and told guests of events BEFORE arrival in country).

Rien ne va dans cet hôtel malheureusement. Au premier abord il a l’air beau et propre mais c’est un échec. La chambre est vieillotte , des fourmis au sol , les plinthes sales, les serviettes qu’ils nous donnent sales aussi , la piscine sale en 2j ok a vu personne s’y beigner. et l’omelette au petit déjeuner en supplément j’ai jamais vu ça. Pour un 4 étoiles c’est très grave

Das Personal wie immer freundlich, doch das kompensiert den Zustand des Hotels leider nicht. Die Qualität für à la carte Lunch/Dinner ist sehr gut, damit hat es sich. Frühstück äusserst mager und nur schon ein Espresso wird separat verrechnet. Die Zimmer sind in einem schlechten bis sehr schlechten Zustand. Einmal hatten wir ein Zimmer, in welchem die Farbe abblätterte, Dusche schimmelig, Sofa fleckig. Zudem eine Nespresso Maschine aber keinen Kaffee dazu. Nur ein Handtuch für zwei Personen. Beim zweiten Aufentalt, den wir leider nicht mehr stornieren konnten, gab es immerhin auf Verlagen zwei Badetücher und ein Zimmer, wo die Farbe nicht abblätterte (dafür eine Kategorie tiefer). Internet zudem miserabel. Ausser um einmal essen zu gehen, nicht zu empfehlen.

Logo no 1º dia, a sala de apoio à piscina, para refeições, parecia estar em obras e as mesas e cadeiras todos espalhados e desarrumado. Almoçamos aí, mas a comida, além de demorar mais de 35 minutos ( com duas mesas a precisas de serviço ), a comida estava sem sabor e seca, sem qualidade nenhuma.

A simpatia e profissionalismo do staff deixa muito a desejar. Falta de formação.

O quarto, quem entra, parece fenomenal, mas quando se começa a olhar em volta, as paredes estão cheias de humidade e a descascar. A casa de banho, tem as paredes desgraçadas e ao fundo do chuveiro, tem uma placa de madeira, que a pessoa tem receio de vêr o que se passa por baixo.

A zona da piscina está completamente ao abandono: piso todo partido e descascado; fios à vista de todos, que se torna perigoso para todos os que frequentam o espaço; vidros no chão espalhados. Copos e chávenas espalhados no piso, sem que ninguêm, todo o dia, os recolha.

Pequeno-almoço com fraca apresentação, nada como nos apresentam nas fotos do website. Mas havia alguns produtos que tinham qualidade.

Apresentei o nosso desagrado à gerente, a sra Marinela, que, apontou todas as minhas observações e opiniões.

Mas pela sua expressão facial e corporal, senti que as observações iriam ficar pelo caminho.

Ainda nos ofereceu um jantar para os 3, mas sinceramente, mais valia não o ter feito. Simplesmente fomos jantar a outro local, fora do hotel.

Hotel perigosos e sem condições para clientes. Higiene? Não sei.

Sejour agreable au Mansa Marina

Jai passe un agréable séjour dans 1 cadre idyllique. Les équipes ont ete formidables en passant par le petit déjeuner avec Paola tres serviable, souriante et les equipes du restaurant ainsi que la réception. Félicitations au Chef pour sa cuisine excellente et a ses equipes, tout le monde est souriant et disponible. Merci à Alice, Sousou, Eden toute lequipe à notre ecoute, souriant et pleins de bon conseil.
Le seul bemol est la piscine pas nettoyee les sieges et matelas de la piscine inutilisables car pas propres vers la fin du sejour ils les ont nettoyé, il faudrait les changer.
Le 2eme bemol sont les chambres qui sont spacieuses agréables avec une bonne literie mais les douches ont besoin de renovation au sol.
Il faudrait également disposer 1 poubelle du cote Plage pecheur ou delimiter la zone car les dechets s entassaient devant notre fenêtre.
Les équipes de menage, notamment Gisèle ont rendu le sejour agréable en veillant a bien nettoyer les chambres.
Personnellement j'avais une autre personne qui s'occupait de ma chambre à qui il faut rappeler que losqu on est 2, il faut tout mettre en double papier serviette

Toutefois je reviendrai avec ma famille j'espère que les rénovations seront faites car lhotel est très bien situé.

\nPeut mieux faire pour le prix

Cadre agréable avec la marina autour, l'hotel est constitué d'un ensemble de bungalows dont la qualité peut varier de l'un à l'autre. Pas de porte pour la salle de bain. Chambre confortable et propre mais peinture défraîchie. Petit déj correct mais sans plus (pas beaucoup de produits frais). Transats vétustes à changer urgemment. Petite piscine à l'eau fraîche à disposition. Esplanade en béton. Endroit très exposé au vent donc pas des plus agréables.
