Fabulous small and friendly local feel hotel with beautiful tropical flowers and plants all around the grounds. Our 1 bedroom apartment was comfortable, clean and had good kitchen facilities. The pool area is very relaxing with stunning sea views and easy access to the beach. The hotel is right in Sal centre nearby to the local restaurants and bars and is perfectly located for an evening stroll. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The half board option was very good value; at the time we went it included a buffet breakfast with lots of options including hot and cold options, freshly made omelettes and pancakes and at night there was a set menu including one drink, your main and a dessert to choose from. There were traditional hotel options as well as local dishes to choose from. The front of house team and restaurant chefs were very friendly and attentive. We had a lovely holiday and hope to be back sometime in the future!

I had a problem when checking in ..they sent me to the wrong apartment as they had not their system to cover the update of two to three people. It took time to get that sorted. then as the apartment wasn't made up for guest I had to chase them up for Towels and then bed linen for the two other guests that were arriving later. Then I relaised that they had over charged me by about 4 euros on the visitors tax...I only got a 10 euro refund. However once that was sorted We enjoyed our holiday and loved the people we met on Sal

Bring own toiletries!

The day before our arrival to Santa Maria i got an email saying that due to some problems with one of the rooms and we were moved to Leme Bedje hotel which is 5-6 min from Porto Antigo. Fine. We understood that. When we arrived at the hotel there was only 1 soap in the bathroom (2 people, 5 days!!!) And i asked for shampoo and shower gel and i was told that they only give in the 1st day and made an exception. Then i find in the bathroom 2 more soaps... at that stage i just gave up to explain what i wanted. If you want people to bring own toiletries (i would had not minded to bring own) that is ok. Just don't call 1 soap for 5 days for 2 people as \"free toiletries\"..

Large room, great pool and direct beach access.

Great room with a large fridge-freezer which we did use for storing and chilling drinks and fruit, and a hob and over which we didn't use.

One substantial downside was a horribly uncomfortable mattress with very obvious and noticeable springs. As well as being uncomfortable the mattress also made a loud noise whenever we moved positions. This would have been a five star review if the mattress had been OK but the problem was significant hence the downgrading.

Lovely grounds with a great pool and lots of sun loungers so it was never a battle to get one. Also some shady areas which we made great use of as it was very hot and sunny. Direct beach access.

Condition of the room we stayed was not good. The door was too complicated to open, no AC in a bedroom, TV was very small and old, with few local channels. We booked it for three nights but decided to leave the next day. They said they can't pay us back any money. Overall a terrible service - won't come back here .

Bonne option hors des complexes hôteliers all incl

L'hôtel est très proche du centre, à taille humaine et plutôt bien végétalisé (contrairement aux gros ensembles hôteliers plus à l'ouest). La piscine au bord de la mer est très sympa. Nous n'avons fréquenté le restaurant de l'hôtel que le temps d'un petit déjeuner car trop pressés pour aller plus loin, la crêpe était assez bonne, le café moyen.

per gli standard europei le forniture dell'appartamento (stoviglie, biancheria, arredamento, etc): insufficienti. Scarsa cura dei dettagli che avrebbero con poco (un solo specchio in bagno, assenza di zanzariere) fatto la differenza. Posizione molto bella. Piscina ottima. Servizio di sicurezza molto accurato e discreto. Qualità del ristorante annesso appena sufficiente. Ma tanti ristoranti limitrofi: ottimi. Da consigliare con modifiche migliorative.

Apt not at all like pictures, dirty, old, no view

Pictures are all fabulous, but the actual apartment that I got was awful. Dirty, with a small balcony and no view of any pool or beach. The complex was not at all full, so after a long complaints session they finally decided to give us another, better, apartment. Nevertheless that was not very clean and it was old as well, so I will not book with this organisation again. If you want to go to Porto Antigo, make sure to find individual house owners of smaller organisations that rent out their owned apartments, there are plenty and as far as I could see from the outside: much better.

Trevligt, enkelt, behagligt

Fantastiskt badläge med stor pool och stenfri strand innanför vågbrytare. Perfekt för (små)barn. Visst, solstolar i trä slits ju, men med gratis madrasser (mot deposition) funkade de bra.
Vakter på och runt hotellområdet kändes bra.
Synd att hotellresturangen på ena piren var stängd (mars-18)
Hotellet ligger mot ena änden av ena huvudgatan, och du har hela byn med restauranger inom 5 minuter.
Minimarket på hörnet har allt som behövs. Inte mycket dyrare än Supermarcado 1 km bort. Dessutom finns bageri, billigt ich öppet nästan jämnt, runt nästa hörn.

Great location but somewhat dated

This is an older apartment complex with a nice pool and dedicated beach areas, right in Santa Maria with the nicest beach of the island (and in fact much nicer than at any of the more remote all-inclusive resorts on Sal). While the layout is nice, it is a bit cramped and everything is right next to each other. Our apartment overlooked a restaurant, meaning that e.g. our balcony was 2 meters away from people's plates - at times there was therefore no privacy on our balcony, or even inside the apartment unless we closed curtains. There was no ac in the bedroom, and it got hot. Windows could not be left open, because then one could just climb into the apartment from the outside corridor. The ac in the living room did not work (only blowing warm air). We had a booking for 2 adults and 2 children, but the second bed in the living room was not made when we arrived. In fact there was no bedding provided for the second bed, so we used the cover sheet from the master bedroom. The furniture was somewhat dated, in particular the convertible bed in the living room was almost falling apart, and was very dirty in addition. The wifi was expensive at 900 ESC per 24 hours - we knew this before, but had we intended to stay longer, we would not have booked here just because of this fact alone. While all of this doesn't sound very good, the place was fine for a night. Good value for price.

Vergleichsweise zu anderen Anlagen sehr grüne Anlage mit ein wenig mediterranem Flair von kleinen Gassen. Superhipper Pool mit extravagantem Zugang zum Meer. Innerhalb von nur 3 Minuten ist man am Anfang des fast unendlichen Hauptstrands und auch schon inmitten des pulsierenden afrikanischen Lebens des kleinen Örtchens \"Santa Maria\" in dem sich alles von arm bis reich trifft und vollkommen ungezwungen relaxed und das mit wahrlich \"NO STRESS\".

Städning varje dag - dock lite snålt med handdukar. Wi-fi köpte vi till men det fungerade bara vid poolen- vårt rum låg i del 2 dit wi-fi inte verkade nå.

Schöne Hotelanlage in der Stadt

Wir waren als Familie mit 2 Kleinkindern im Porto Antigo Hotel Residence Nr. 2 Anfang Februar 2016 mit direkter Strandlage (Stichwort Seeview). Die Nähe zum Strand war zum einen bestechend, aber auch die Stadt zu unseren Füßen zu haben (statt einer weitläufigen Hotelanlage) empfanden wir als Vorteil.

Die Zimmereinrichtung kann man wohl als gehoben bezeichnen und war für uns vollkommend ausreichend, luxuriös war sie nicht.
