Excellent Chillaxing Experience

Great customer service, very smiley and helpful staff especially Yvonne at reception who was extra kind and helpful, she helped me an adaptor as mine was not compatible which i retuned on checking out.The breakfast was brilliant especially the omelette, fruits etc. The balcony area overlooking the sea was amazing, more like an outside beach experience while indoors. I am a gym lover so again the gym though outside the hotel was one of the biggest I have ever been too, overlooking the sea while working out was also a brilliant experience. I definitely had a great time and will not forget the simple things too, food, walks, sunsets and warmth of all Cape Verde people!!!

Hotel grounds dirty, untidy & generally in disrepair, reception entrance tidy though. Check in was good reception staff & the concierge excellent couldn't be more helpful throughout. Paid for 1/2 board breakfast average and tired at best, dinner was a disgrace only ate at hotel twice at the hotel it was that bad, only choice given was a choice of a poor main course, owners daughter eventually offered us a meat dish from their other menu 1 nights dinner was average, 2nd night was absolutely disgusting. Never a 4 star hotel, poorly run restaurant .

Hotels needs some help

Hotel needs lots of attention to details and a good cleaning! Staff was great, as was breakfast. The filter to the hot tub was green and fuzzy. So gross! I would never think about getting in! We had two body towels in our room and nothing on the towel rack. Soap dispensers were both empty and the tea bags provided looked like they came out of someone's pocket! Great restaurants within walking distance!

Hotel VIP Praia is great location on the ocean with a beautiful rooftop pool & relaxing area! The buffet breakfast was good. We only had dinner in the restaurant once and it was not very good, was supposed to be pork tenderloin, was dried out bone in pork chops. There were some good restaurants in the are & shopping right door! The staff was helpful in most areas. Except downstairs bar/restaurant seemed understaffed. Overall great stay!!
