Nice little boutique hotel that has seen better days. Great mattress, each room has TV w/ Netflix & couch which I loved. White towels very stained, shower dingy white etc. Terrible food. Still, nice to be right in the center of town with a pool. Check if there is a party as these can get loud ( wld be great if property provided earbuds and told guests of events BEFORE arrival in country).

Our flight was postponed and we had to make a last minute reservation. We were thrilled with the King bed, rare on this trip, and the room. Staff were friendly and had a late dinner in the restaurant with view of the marina. Definitely a 5 star in Cabo Verde

Bel hôtel, on ne peut plus central dans Mindelo, constitué de bungalows adossés les uns aux autres dans un bel environnement. Certains ont leur terrasse arborée indépendante. Vue sur la marina et les montagnes de Sao Antao. Grand piscine (mais eau fraîche en cette saison) Excellent restaurant, aux plats locaux revisités, à des prix corrects au bord de celle ci. Personnel d’accueil affable et efficace. Cet hôtel-restaurant mérite une belle note.

Estadia de 4 dias e 5 estrelas

Melhor impossível Os quartos são luminosos, a casa de banho é grande, tudo impecável com bom gosto e limpeza irrepreensível. A localização é a melhor, com uma vista soberba sobre a Marina. O serviço é 5 estrelas! Todos muitíssimo atenciosos. Só posso recomendar

Un cadre exceptionnel

La suite junior vue sur mer est juste extraordinaire avec son balcon comme posé sur l'eau donnant sur la magnifique Marina. Nous avons de surcroît eu le chance que les chambres mitoyennes ne soient pas occupées ce qui nous a garanti un calme et une intimité parfaite. Le petit déjeuner est très bon et le cadre est là aussi fantastique notamment si on le prend en terrasse. Seul bémol, bien qu'officiellement ouvert à 7h00, il nous a fallu en réalité attendre 7h30-45 pour que les présentoirs soient garnis. Le restaurant est vraiment excellent et bénéficie encore d'une situation inégalable. Le rapport qualité prix est incroyable. Un conseil cependant : arriver tôt car l'attente peut s'avérer extrêmement longue lorsque les tables se remplissent. La piscine (non chauffée) est très agréable. Le personnel est très sympathique et plein de bonne volonté même s'il peut sembler par moment assez inexpérimenté. Bref, on ne peut pas parler de perfection mais nous avons choisi d'y retourner lors de notre second passage à Sao Vicente tellement nous avons été conquis par le site. PS Libérez les pauvres perruches en cage qui ne servent à rien derrière la réception !

Normalerweise schreibe ich keine Bewertung, aber dieses Mal ist es leider notwendig, in der Hoffnung daß sie daraus lernen. Aus den vielen Bitten vor Ort haben sie nichts gelernt. Zum Hotel ist folgendes zu sagen: Die Lage ist 1A, die normalen Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und bemüht, aber die Organisation und das Management ist alles andere als gut. Ich kam an, das Zimmer war nicht fertig, das kann passieren. Man bat mich in der Bar zu warten und man würde mir Bescheid sagen, daß geschah nicht, hätte ich nicht selbst nachgefragt würde ich heute noch da sitzen. Aber kein Problem. Das Zimmer war auf den ersten Blick in Ordnung, aber dann: 1.) Der Safe war nicht verschraubt man hätte ihn einfach raustragen können. 2.) Der Fernseher war defekt. 3.) Der Router für den Betrieb des Fernseher war nicht angeschlossen, weil ein Kabel fehlte. 4.) Es gab keinen Abfalleimer für das Zimmer 5.) Toilettenpapier war eine halbe Rolle vorhanden und musste in einer Woche dreimal reklamiert werden. Alle Themen musste ich nachfragen bzw. reklamieren. Das Frühstück war das schwächste auf den Inseln Santiago, Santo Antão und in Mindelo 2023, und es waren sehr viel einfachere Hotels oder B&B. Zum guten Schluss war das Hotel fast 2 Tage durch das Militär blockiert, die dort eine Veranstaltung hatten. Der Pool war kaum zu nutzen, das Personal war mit der Armee beschäftigt, so daß das Frühstück kaum stattfand und auch das Personal kaum hatte die normalen Gäste zu bedienen

Great stay at Mansa Marina

A fantastic stay in a very central part of Mindelo, with great views over the harbour and with a brillant swimming pool. Great restaurant, with one of the best evening views in the town, and good service. Check in was efficient and quick, and breakfast was great, with view of jumping fish in the harbour next to the breakfast terrace... we booked the superiour room with own separate terrace, which was great for secluded evening drinks and relaxation. Highly recommanded
