We really enjoyed our stay at Mansa Marina Hotel. The hotel's facilities are quite good, with a nice pool and really good breakfast. Our room was large with plenty of floor space and plugs to charge things. Wifi was available throughout. Staff were friendly and very helpful. There's a good car hire firm opposite the hotel behind the supermarket called Ocidente Rent-a-car. Nearby Nautilus restaurant is a good dining option and the hotel is walking distance to the ferry to Santo Antao. A taxi from the airport to the hotel is CVE 1200. A couple of negatives were the open bathroom policy. There's no door so no privacy when you want to use the toilet. For some people that may not matter. For us, we the other just sat outside for a bit. Also, although the pool is lovely, it did feel a bit like you were on display as it's easily visible from many other areas around the seafront.

I didn't get the room I paid for because the air con was broken. Although they fixed it the next day it was a major hastle to move. I think I should really be reimbursed for the difference. The pool area needs alot more shade and the pool has the wrong tiles. They are slippy and dangerous. I didn't eat in the restaurant but my friends said it was very goid. Outside ares need to be painted. So overall I have a mixed review. This hotel could easily be very good. The staff need to make a small extra effort to look after customers and smile. That would help alot.

Lovely looking hotel right in the centre of the city however the hotel is not fully ready ie there were no cushions for the sun loungers to use by the pool, some areas still under construction and breakfast is not the best. For the high price paid, it is not worth it at this point in time. It will be once everything is set up.

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

Logo no 1º dia, a sala de apoio à piscina, para refeições, parecia estar em obras e as mesas e cadeiras todos espalhados e desarrumado. Almoçamos aí, mas a comida, além de demorar mais de 35 minutos ( com duas mesas a precisas de serviço ), a comida estava sem sabor e seca, sem qualidade nenhuma. A simpatia e profissionalismo do staff deixa muito a desejar. Falta de formação. O quarto, quem entra, parece fenomenal, mas quando se começa a olhar em volta, as paredes estão cheias de humidade e a descascar. A casa de banho, tem as paredes desgraçadas e ao fundo do chuveiro, tem uma placa de madeira, que a pessoa tem receio de vêr o que se passa por baixo. A zona da piscina está completamente ao abandono: piso todo partido e descascado; fios à vista de todos, que se torna perigoso para todos os que frequentam o espaço; vidros no chão espalhados. Copos e chávenas espalhados no piso, sem que ninguêm, todo o dia, os recolha. Pequeno-almoço com fraca apresentação, nada como nos apresentam nas fotos do website. Mas havia alguns produtos que tinham qualidade. Apresentei o nosso desagrado à gerente, a sra Marinela, que, apontou todas as minhas observações e opiniões. Mas pela sua expressão facial e corporal, senti que as observações iriam ficar pelo caminho. Ainda nos ofereceu um jantar para os 3, mas sinceramente, mais valia não o ter feito. Simplesmente fomos jantar a outro local, fora do hotel. Hotel perigosos e sem condições para clientes. Higiene? Não sei.
