This is an exceptional hotel. My family and I actually live in the city of Praia and wanted a simple getaway from home on the weekend. The staff and hotel manager were amazing, super friendly, really welcoming and it made our stay very enjoyable. We will be back again to enjoy the space. Great pool for kids!

We absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Tropico. The best thing about the hotel is the feeling of being in a family hotel, with staff who are attentive to detail.

Fine but rather bland hotel outside of Praia. OK if you have a flight out or want to explore the island of Santiago, but beyond that, NOT a holiday destination given the price. Santiago is a great Island to explore.
