“This was a truly eye-opening experience in a part of Africa I only researched online.”

Every day a sumptuous breakfast was prepared before my eyes with an abundance of fresh fruit and fresh fruit juices, coffee and tea as well. Tap water comes from a local well and is delivered by a community distribution system. It is not treated with any chemicals and tastes very well. The water seems to be relatively soft insofar I can judge that from showering. The nature of the location and the community (of about 15,000 inhabitants) is such that everything you may need is only a short walk away including transportation, banking, food supplies, restaurants, barber shop, travel agency, you name it. The sea and beach are also close-by at about a 10 minute walk. Everything is extremely reasonably priced. The climate is truly fabulous and exceptionally mild and pleasant, typically 21 min to 27 max degr. Celsius, without ever any need for AC or even a fan at my location and facility, if you can open your windows the beneficial sea breeze will be your comfort supplier. No bugs to speak of cause any discomforts...just kill one tiny mosquito and you're good. My windows remained open every day of my stay, screens or not. The island of Santiago has a very good infrastructure with stable Internet and electricity supplies. Roads are well paved and free of potholes. Animals can stray onto the road which requires extra caution after darkness, I imagine, I just didn't try. The local marketing around the area of the hotel provides a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. There's public/private transportation available in different modalities and prices, but the excellent taxis, mostly electric, the top of the cream, are still not expensive for European or American standards, but much cheaper comfortable buses can be had. Local people are open, helpful and communicative without ever bothering you with anything. No pushy selling for instance. The same goes for the children, they are adorable but don't ever bother you because you are a stranger.

Easy full ten points to the lovely host Diene! <3 Great b'fast! Roof top terrace. Strong wifi in the living room. Mercado Municipal next door. Good food in "Flor de Caribe" almost opposite Shell.

The host/staff were really nice to us. They made sure we have a pleasant stay. Even gave us flowers because it was national women's day and they were genuinely friendly. They spoke French and very little English but we know a little French and we used also translator app, and there was no problems. The host offered us a ride to Praia as she was also going there.

“Disapointed with our stay in a town where there is nothing to see. The beach is ok but that's it.”

Privacy on the rooftop with beach chairs. Modern spacious bedroom with a nice private bathroom. Lounge with balcony and shared kitchen. Very nice hosts, Julio and his mom.

A nice place right behind the local market, still pretty calm all things considered. Dienne is amazing and the breakfast really comes in handy.

“Lovely homestay”

The host was really nice. She made us feel at home. The bed was comfortable. The shared bathroom is big, modern and very clean.

Great breakfast and hospitality
