"L hôtel était super ! Une vue époustouflante et de belles randonnées aux alentours. Le personnel qui nous a servi ou accueilli était serviable et la langue anglaise acquise appréciable car le français n est pas langue courante au cap vert. Petit bémol pour la piscine qui n est pas filtrée mais cela ne nous empêche absolument pas de nous baigner. Très bons repas et petits déjeuners 😉 Hôtel a recommander mais attention car pour y accéder nous devons monter 177 marches ( elles ont été comptées à force de descendre et remonter !!😂😂)"
