I recommend this property
The apartment is very spacious, with lots of amenities. A nice residence with a lovely swimming pool, but a bit far from the town centre. Close to the beach and some shops. Grocery stores not far away. Overall, we had a nice stay in Sal. I recommend this property.

A charming apartment
A charming apartment ideally located in Santa Maria. The availability of Wi-Fi, fans and air conditioning, both in the bedrooms and in the dining area, proved to be particularly convenient and appreciated. Roger, the owner, is very friendly, professional and responsive; he has always given very good advice. Attentive to our needs, he was able to effectively solve various problems and provided us with excellent support throughout our stay, especially during the power and water cuts that we experienced on several occasions. We would recommend this Airbnb and would like to sincerely thank Roger for his kindness, availability and great professionalism. 🙏

Un appartement charmant idéalement situé à Santa Maria. La présence du Wi-Fi, de ventilateurs et de la climatisation, tant dans les chambres que dans l’espace repas, s’est avérée particulièrement pratique et appréciable. Roger, le propriétaire, est très sympathique, professionnel et réactif ; il a toujours été de très bon conseil. Attentif à nos besoins, il a su résoudre efficacement divers problèmes et nous a apporté un excellent soutien tout au long de notre séjour, notamment lors des coupures d’électricité et d’eau que nous avons subies à plusieurs reprises. Nous recommandons cet Airbnb et tenons à remercier sincèrement Roger pour sa gentillesse, sa disponibilité et son grand professionnalisme. 🙏
A great three week stay
We had a great three week stay at Tropical apartment. We loved that we were close to the beach and within walking distance of everything in Santa Maria. The kids loved the pool.
The place to stay
Just the place to stay on Sal Island, very close to the beach and the centre.
Original:
Exatamente lugar para se ficar na Ilha do Sal, muito próximo à praia e ao centro.
The value for money is good
The accommodation was located in a quiet area, a 10/15-minute walk from the city centre. A very nice swimming pool is available. Air conditioning is available at an additional cost. There is a bar that is closed in June. It must be very nice in July/August because it should be open. The value for money is good and the room is comfortable. The hosts are very responsive and attentive! Thank you

Le logement était situé dans une zone calme, à 10/15 minutes à pied du centre ville. Piscine très sympa disponible. La clim est à prendre en supplément. Il y a un bar qui est fermé au mois de juin. Cela doit être très sympa en juillet/août car il devrait être ouvert. Le rapport qualité/prix est intéressant et la chambre est confortable. Les hôtes sont très réactifs et attentifs ! Merci
A beautiful apartment
This is a beautiful apartment very close to the beach and the main town. It has everything you need for a self catering holiday. The pool is lovely and the grounds are immaculate.
I recommend
We have a wonderful vacation. Everything was very well organised. Very welcoming. I recommend

Well located
Apartment well located for 15 minute walk into town of Santa Maria. Beautiful pool and well maintained gardens. Comfortable pool loungers . Apartment has comfortable beds & well equipped. Air fryer very useful as there is no oven.
We had a great stay
We booked Tropical Resort at the last minute for a week’s stay and couldn’t have been more delighted with our choice. This resort proved to be the perfect base for exploring Sal. The resort’s location is simply superb. Situated right near the beachfront, we enjoyed a beautiful 10-minute stroll along the sand to reach the vibrant selection of bars and restaurants in Santa Maria. The area felt completely safe at all times, whether walking during the day or evening. The beachfront path is well-maintained and offers stunning ocean views – the walk itself became one of our favourite parts of each day. Restaurants on the beach were great with wide variety of food and drinks
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well-cared for. The resort strikes the perfect balance between relaxation and convenience. Having easy access to local amenities whilst maintaining a peaceful, secure environment made our stay thoroughly enjoyable.
We had a great stay at Tropical Resort and Roger kept us updated throughout.
It was excellent
First we relaxed at the resort, swimming and relaxing. There are many beautiful beaches that were nice at different times of the day. Not far from our resort we saw a very beautiful sunset in the Atlantic Ocean! We swam a lot and saw turtles. We hiked around an island where we saw baby sharks, it was a nice beach for snorkeling. It was excellent!
Everything was clean and workable! Internet was perfect! So, it was excellent! Thank you!
Clean and as described
The apartment was clean and as described. The location was great for us quiet in the evenings but close enough to a number of restaurants in town for a pleasant walk back after dinner and during the day.
We will be back

Highly recommend
A great place to relax and explore the island of Sal! The flat was spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and the proximity of the beautiful beach. Several amazing restaurants all in walking distance. Roger was very communicative and helpful, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our stay. 5 stars – would highly recommend!
Response:
Hi Sophie, thank you so much for your lovely review. It makes us happy when our guests have had a time. We hope will be back sometime, Roger
A lovely stay
This was a lovely stay in a nice apartment and ample information about the place and the surroundings is provided in advance to prepare us. We were met at the airport by a personalised taxi and brought back by the same person. The pool area is great for relaxing and it’s only a 15 minute walk to the main town area’s restaurants and shops and only a couple minutes to the beach.
The stay was good
The stay was good and pleasant. Host always available to answer any questions… and always concerned about our satisfaction.

Estadia foi boa e agradável. Anfitrião sempre disponível a responder qualquer questão..e sempre preocupado com a nossa satisfação.
I would highly recommend the place.
Very nice apartment to end our stay on the island of Sal in Cape Verde. It is well located right next to the beach and easy to walk to the lively part of the city centre. It is large, bright, very functional and its balcony is a real plus for taking all meals, with a view of the residence’s pool. We also really enjoyed the ceiling fans in each room, as it was very hot at this time. A big thank you to our host Roger, who was always very responsive and who facilitated the organisation of our stay by managing our transfers from the airport and communicating all the useful information and addresses on Santa Maria. I would highly recommend the place.

Appartement très agréable pour terminer notre séjour sur l’île de Sal au Cap vert. Il est bien situé juste à côté de la plage et facile d’accès à pied pour aller dans la partie animée du centre-ville. Il est grand, lumineux, très fonctionnel et son balcon est un vrai plus pour prendre tous les repas, avec une vue sur la piscine de la résidence. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié les ventilateurs au plafond dans chaque pièce, comme il faisait très chaud à cette période. Un grand merci à notre hôte Roger toujours très réactif et qui a facilité l’organisation de notre séjour en gérant nos transferts depuis l’aéroport et nous communiquant toutes les infos et adresses utiles sur Santa Maria. Je recommande vivement le lieu.
We recommend the apartment
The apartment is like in the photos, the pool even better than in the photos, it’s bigger than it looks in the photos. It is a very quiet development as it is a bit away from the center, which is appreciated for resting. It has a nice walk along the beach to the centre, 15 minutes on foot. Roger is very attentive to everything and responds to all messages right away. We had a small problem with the reservation and it was fixed immediately. He was flexible about leaving the house, which is greatly appreciated. We recommend the apartment.
Original
La casa de Roger es como en las fotos, la piscina incluso mejor que en las fotos, es mas grande de lo que parece en las fotos. Es una urbanizacion muy tranquila ya que esta un poco apartada del centro, lo que se agradece para descansar. Tiene un bonito paseo por la playa hasta el centro de 15 min andando. Roger esta muy atento a todo y responde a todos los mensajes enseguida. Tuvimos un pequeño problema con la reserva y lo soluciono inmeditamente. Tuvo flexibilidad para salir de la casa, cosa que se agradece muchisimo. Recomendamos la casa
Highly recommend
Great communication, apartment as described with a lovely view of the pool. Taxi arranged from the airport and keys ready at reception on arrival. Everything you might need in the apartment, even an air fryer! For a lovely breeze through the apartment, recommend opening the bedroom windows and balcony door (all have mosquito nets on) Santa Maria beach just across the road, approx 5-10 min walk depending on what part of the beach you want to be on. 10 mins to walk into Santa Maria main strip, lovely walk down the beach boardwalk. Small supermarket few mins walk away, had everything you might need and lovely fresh rolls for lunch on the beach. Had an amazing holiday and if we come back to Sal, will definitely be looking to stay here again. Highly recommend.
Everything was fine
The apartment is very calm, clean and nice. There is also a good pool. The owner was kind and available. Everything was fine.
Well located
Clean apartment, well located, in a resort with a good swimming pool and beautiful green spaces.

Très bon séjour à Sal dans l’appartement situé à proximité de la plage et des commerces. Je recommande ! Hôte très réactif
I will definitely be coming back
The apartment at Tropical was beautifully clean and well equipped. My bed was comfortable and I slept well as it was quiet. The terrace has a great view over the lovely gardens and pool and was sheltered. This was a good thing as it was windy. Only 2 minutes walk to the beach and restaurants and shops within easy reach. I will definitely be coming back.
Nice apartment
The stay went well, nice apartment, nice pool. Super easy and quick communication. Mr. Roger was very flexible and accessible, despite my mistake at the time of booking, he was great. Thank you so much

Le séjour était bien passé, belle appartement, belle piscine. Communication super facile et rapide. Mr. Roger très flexible et accessible, malgré ma faute au moment de réservation, il était super. Grand merci
Recommended place to stay.
We just spent a week in this place. Everything was very good. Nice residence, quiet, beautiful pool. Very good location to walk to the beach or village of Santa Maria. Roger provided us with a lot of explanations before we arrived. Recommended place to stay.
Beautiful
Beautiful, well equipped, spacious, super-clean apartment. Great location less than ten minutes from the beach. Particularly loved chilling out on the balcony overlooking the pool area and well tended surrounding gardens. Great to have use of the washing machine too.
I would recommend this place
The apartment matches the photos and everything was fine. The only downside would be the curtains that are not opaque and allow natural light to enter the rooms very early. There are no curtains in the living room either. The apartment was clean and the communication with Roger and Djussa was perfect. The area is very quiet and relaxing for families, it’s fine. I would recommend this place if you are staying in Sal.
Lovely first floor apartment
Beautiful apartment
Beautiful holiday apartment in a side location, but everything is within easy walking distance!

Schönes Ferien Appartement in Seitenlage, aber alles sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen!
Highly recommend
Lovely 2 bedroom apartment with balcony overlooking the pool. Easy walk into the town and to the beach. Excellent communication with Roger the owner. Highly recommend.
Great communication
A beautiful, clean and very quiet apartment in a guarded complex with pool. It was all as stated in the description and we felt very much. The communication with Roger was great, he gave us a lot of information, about check in, taxi, wifi etc. Thank you very much.

Allows you to rest very well
The apartment is located within the Tropical Resort, a small residence with a pool and super curated green spaces. The balcony is perfect for breakfast or relaxing at the end of a day at sea. The location allows you to rest very well (the apartment does not overlook the main street) and to reach the beach in 5 minutes. Very close to markets, various services, restaurants, clubs. Other positives: spacious rooms, cleanliness, washing machine and cooking utensils. The host was very present and supportive both before departure and during the stay, providing useful and timely information.
Original
L’appartamento si trova all’interno del Tropical Resort, un piccolo residence con piscina e spazi verdi super curati. Il balcone è perfetto per fare colazione o rilassarsi al termine di una giornata di mare. La posizione permette sia di riposare benissimo (l’appartamento non affaccia sulla strada principale) che di raggiungere la spiaggia in 5 minuti. Vicinissimi markets, servizi vari, ristoranti, locali. Altri aspetti positivi: camere spaziose, pulizia, lavatrice e utensili da cucina. L’host è stato molto presente e di supporto sia prima della partenza che durante il soggiorno, fornendo info utili e tempestive.
Ideal for us
It was a very nice time on Sal. The apartment had everything we were looking for and very well maintained. In the beginning, the wifi was a little jerky. It is quietly located on the outskirts but is within walking distance of the beach 5 minutes and into the city (beautiful along the beach) in 15 minutes. Around the corner is a small supermarket and a bar. The communal pool was little visited and very well maintained. In general, the whole facility is very clean and nicely laid out. Roger was always available via Whats App and very helpful with good tips. A security service, which is on site day and night, gives you a good feeling again. Although we didn’t feel it was necessary. Ideal for us (family with two children (14+17)).
Made the vacation a dream
The quality of the apartment, the location of the apartment and the fact that it had everything we needed only made it help to make the vacation a dream.
