Very nice experience. Location is perfect (beach+shops+village+bars and restaurants). The history of the hotel is very interesting and knowing it (I recommended you search for it in the net) adds to the experience. Breakfast was good. All the staff was helpful and kind. Very simple activities like "crioulo lesson" and "uril game lesson" are recommended, right after breakfast, for a feeling of Cabo Verde that you don't get in a resort hotel (and we've tried it after our stay in Morabeza). The 3 pools were good and almost empty at any time. The beach club is good, we had lunch there 2 times and the food was very good.

recently stayed at Morabeza in room 416 and overall had a very enjoyable holiday, with a few things that really stood out. The absolute highlight for me was the bed and pillows. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever slept so well away from home. In fact, my own bed isn’t as comfortable. Every night I had some of the best sleep I’ve ever had, which made a huge difference to my stay. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere and a fantastic beachfront location. One of my favourite little routines was going to the beach bar for a latte in the morning — it was consistently excellent and genuinely one of the best coffees I had on the island. The staff were always polite, professional, efficient and courteous throughout my stay. Everything was handled properly and smoothly whenever I needed assistance. The main downside was the room situation. I had booked an Executive Room through On the Beach but was placed in a Standard Room on arrival. When I raised it, I was advised to contact my travel agent rather than the issue being resolved directly. While the Standard Room itself was perfectly fine and I chose to stay put rather than move mid-holiday, it was still disappointing not to receive the room category I had booked. I later received a £50 “goodwill gesture” voucher from On the Beach, but I felt this didn’t really reflect the difference in room category and what I had paid for. That said, I didn’t want to spend my holiday dealing with stress or back-and-forth, especially in Cape Verde where the motto is very much “no stress.” A real highlight of the trip was an island tour arranged through the hotel with Nelson. He was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Sal. It ended up being one of the best parts of the holiday and gave me a much better feel for the island. Despite the room issue, I had a really good stay. Morabeza isn’t flashy, but it’s comfortable, in a great location, and has some genuinely standout features — especially those incredibly comfortable beds. I would definitely consider returning.

I have stayed here 4 times and see it as my second home. Family run, which I like to support, quiet, peaceful, classic, classy and immaculately maintained. As a single traveller I feel safe, cared for and welcomed. The staff have always looked after me, ensuring I am ok. Sometimes travelling alone you can be ignored as a lady, but not here. Jorge security and his team have always made sure I am safe. Kanny, luna and Victor and Gigi are always friendly and helpful on the activities desk. The yoga teacher Stephan and Marina the Tao lady are fabulous. Manuel the gardener and his team passionately look after the grounds beautifully... so well maintained. Raking of sand..flowers blooming. The pool maintainance is of top care. Restaurant staff, always smiling. My room was cleaned and tidy when returning after my day. The hotel is the first one at the start of the promenade, bars, restaurants etc Live Music at night, massages for €25 and Papaya restaurant opposite for organic healthy food. Turquoise sea, golden sands and a deep feeling of peace covers you when you step onto Sal... May it stay sacred and unique 🙏

We need had an excellent stay at this hotel and was truly impressed by the level of service and attention to detail throughout the entire experience. The staff were welcoming, professional, and always ready to assist with a smile, making every moment feel comfortable and personalized. One of the highlights of the property is its ideal beachfront location. Waking up to stunning ocean views and having direct access to the beach created a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere that made the stay even more memorable. The hotel also offers fantastic on-site facilities, including excellent restaurants with a great variety of food and a vibrant beach club perfect for enjoying the sunset, cocktails, and music by the sea. Everything is thoughtfully designed to provide guests with both comfort and entertainment. Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations in every way, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect beachfront getaway with outstanding service and premium facilities.
