Excellent location in the heart of Santa Maria really close to the beach. Breakfast served in Odjo d'Aqua hotel next to Porto Antigo was delicious. Rooms were clean and the area was really nice.

I visited Santa Maria over new year 2012 and stayed at Porto Antigo residence! All I can say is; if you're planning to visit Cape Verde and Santa Maria this is the hotel you should choose. With it's extraordinary location it beats the boring giant hotel complex on the other side of the beach. Breakfast is a 5/5. I've travelled... More

I stayed in 17b owned by Ocean Club Holidays. My view was overlooking the pool and the beach and I have to say it was fantastic. The apartment was clean and well furnished and the staff friendly and helpful, although they didn't speak much english we made ourselves understood. It was quiet 24/7 security so no need to worry.

Just returned from a holiday at Porto Antigo Residence in Sal Cape Verde Islands. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the apartments and the area very much indeed. The location of these apartments in my opinion is simply the best I have previously stayed at both the Rui Funana and the Rui Garopa but you are isolated and do... More

Please go to Cape Verde with an open mind. I had read so many bad reviews that for the first time ever, I really wasn't looking forward to my holiday. For us, it was a fantastic experience to enjoy a totally unspoilt way of life. Our apartment was at the far end of Santa Maria town, next to the Odjo... More

These apartments are clean and functional but are not the height of luxury. The second bedroom was cramped and an adjacent buidings air con was noisy. The pool was fine as were the two attached beaches. The walled one was fine for swimming the other was visited by a shark one evening.The grounds have their own security staff and are... More

There was security to stop street vendors or other tourist coming into... More
