In Santo Antao decent hotels for european standards are hard to find. This hotel is very average but the only one in Porto Novo, which is not an interesting place to stay anyway. Better stay in Ponta do Sol or Paul. Rooms are ok, breakfast buffet very average and you pay extra for eggs. Internet is not free. Pool very... More

We stayed four nights in this very attractive hotel with its nice gardens and good swimming pool. We asked for a superior room and it was large and comfortable with a good size bathroom with bath and balcony. The restaurant was average and rather geared to French groups on all inclusive deals. We found a nice little Italian restaurant in... More

We were told we were lucky that the pool is not empty. It might be because we were there off-season, but the hotel was pretty empty, and seems to be over-dimensioned. The breakfast is not one that we will remember for its quality. The room was clean, spacious and with A/C. Overall the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

This hotel offers the full 4* luxury for less than 50 EUR per night; by far the best price:quality ratio we encountered on Cape Verde. The hotel is located slightly out of town; it's about a 20 min. walk to the port / downtown area, but they offer a free transfer service. Rooms are modern and clean and come with... More

I'm told that the Santantão Art Resort is owned by an Italian entrepreneur. He took quite a chance locating a European-standard hotel on this remote island. I recommend it in all respects. My room was comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped, with good air-conditioning and all the amenities you'd find in a midrange North American or European hotel, including lighting strong enough...

Could not fault this hotel apart from when we stayed during its opening there were a couple of teething problems with the plumbing. The breakfast had a great selection when we were there - could not have been better so I do hope the previous reviewer had a one off experience saying selection was not so good. rFood in restaurant...

opened March 08, still very quiet which suited us. Beautiful hotel, big spacious rooms, big beds, all very comfortable. Lots of areas inside and out to sit, quiet, very reasonably priced restaurant and excellent service and food, really good. Staff very helpful, interesting artwork throughout the place makes it just a little bit different, earns it's 4 stars. Only criticism... More
