Cátia and Eloi, who run the place, are 5-star! They're welcoming and go the extra-mile to make you feel at home. They also gave me a lift to São Filipe - which I very much appreciated. The hotel's location is right on top of a very calm bay, is great. Food was also great.

La Fora is beautiful and we loved looking out from our room to see all the plants, the staff are amazing, the team communicated constantly with us to help us arrange things, and the set dinner menus were so good. I have already recommended La Fora Ecolodge to all my friends coming to Fogo.

Unique stay and experience in the Fogo caldeira- family owned and operated and authentic. The staff were helpful and kind - they added to the experience. Think skies void of light pollution- perfect for star gazing (bring layers!), hikes and time free to take in the unique otherworldly landscape. If going to the caldeira, spending a night or 2 here is definitely recommended

Our stay at The View Hotel Cape Verde was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the owner personally greeted us and made us feel immediately welcome, setting the tone for the entire experience. That kind of personal touch is rare and made us feel like more than just guests. The restaurant staff were incredibly attentive, especially when it came to my son’s severe dairy allergy. They took the time to understand his needs, carefully explained what he could safely eat, and made sure he felt included and taken care of at every meal. As a parent, that level of awareness and kindness means everything. Our room was breathtaking. It was spacious, beautifully designed, and an incredible value for the level of comfort and quality. The view faces the Atlantic Ocean, and it is honestly hard to put into words. It feels as if you are floating in the clouds above the water, watching the horizon stretch endlessly. A fun and unique touch were the blue lights in the room that make neon colors glow. Anything neon absolutely pops, giving the space a cool, modern vibe. As a family of four, we even had our own little neon party at night. One of our favorite moments was relaxing in the infinity style jacuzzi. Sitting there together as a family and looking out over the ocean and the town below truly makes you feel like you are on top of the world. The food was exceptional throughout our stay. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Combined with the warm hospitality of everyone at the hotel, the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend trying the black caipirinha. If you are visiting São Filipe, this place is something special. We left feeling relaxed, grateful, and already hoping to return.

Best place we stayed on the entire island. No wonder it's difficult or impossible to book last minute. The view over the surfing spot is amazing. The room is clean. The staff is able to speak multiple languages and are super friendly. We were so happy we wanted to stay longer but they were booked.

Praia has a historic city part, the "Plateau", which is nice. But the beaches are very small. If you are looking for beaches you should go to other locations, not to Praia. The island is like a desert. There are no coconut palms like in Brasil. The lack of rain is very notable. Everything is dry. Taxis are expensive (always $15 US)

Nice place with beach and some cobbled roads in the old center. Concentration Camp Memorial in walking distance. Good option for walks around the village and very friendly people (except the usual touts who try to take advantage of you but soon find other victims). Food(stalls) at the market and a selection of stores in town. The chinese-owned being more transparent in terms of pricing. Beautiful place to stay and relax for a few days - when you have a good place to stay.

Portela is a magnific place inside a Vulcano crater, i just wanted to stay longer.... you can see the volcano all the time, such magnific view. People are umble and welcome, vilage quiet and great if you travel with kids as they can just go free. There is so much to do if you love geology and treking, such as hile the big vulcano and/or smalers, hike trough lava fillds, explore caves... but also vias ferratas and long trails, you can also go down hiking to mosteiros trough cofe fields (you can arrange it for someone to take yous big bags downs and catch you on the road at the end of the cofe fields to take you to the boat to Praia). The vilage is small and easy to go around, by night there is no much light outside better bring a headlamp. The food is all home made and delicios, we eat in Sonia and Ze house (sweet chiken, beans), Helena (cachupa and omlet) and Isabela (stuwe pig, fish with cream). we had a 4yo and we mostly hiked with him on the backpack, some parts he would go on his foot... things he loved running down the sand hills (big vulcano and small vulcano separated), walk trough the lava fields and sand, draw on sand, play with local kids.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings. The proximity with the airport (35 min.) makes it a potential nice destination. The city should promote more actively the destination in order to attract developers which could renew the houses we can see from the beach and which are falling apart. Hopefully in the future this can be done and attract more visitors and have additional hotels. The potential exists.

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days. Beach, good restaurants, you can do hikes on Monte Graciosa, and Tras os Montes. Restaurant 'chez mama' has some hiking maps. And good food too. I spent most of my time fishing. From the rocks at Punta Atum, of from a boat. One thing to keep in mind. Tarrafal in August is hot. You can go up to Serra Malagueta where it is cooler. But rainy in August.

This location and guest house is not about fluffy pillows nor spa facilities. It's for adventure, it's at the top of a volcano and has limited resources, though with that, the guest house team is VERY accommodating. Meals were delicious, books and games were provided to pass time in the quiet evenings. The surrounding community experience is WONDERFUL. Highly recommend.

There isn’t much to do in Praia, trust me.

There isn’t much to do in Praia, trust me. I have lived on Santiago Island for three years so I have to go there sometimes. Usually people judge the country after visiting Praia, later they see how different it is from the rest of Cape Verde. I’d recommend one day at most. Visit Plateau, Cidadela Velha, maybe Prainha beach. It’s better to travel around the island or visit Fogo 🫶🏼
