Rui Vaz hotels from RM194

"First off, the cleaning quality was very poor, I have images that I would wish to add to this review. From the walls, cobwebs all over the corner of the room, visible blood from previous tenant smashing mosquitoes on the wall, and small ants crawling all over our bedsheet. We paid for the pool, since my mother is an elderly so it’s safer than ocean water, yet we had to ask for it to be filled with water, which was never complete. Similiar to request we had for additional towels and fixing of in our room which was never filled. If the owner is reading this, don’t go yelling at your employees especially your cleaners being that they were walking around with all cleaning supply in hands no proper cart system in a huge hotel, wearing fliflops while cleaning, and all of them never smiled implying the harsh reality of their conditions - I gave it a 2 start because the holiday event we went too was lovely but not worth knowing your employees were working 18 hrs shift leaving at 2-3 am to return to work at 9 am the same day. This place is exploiting their workers with minimum support, fair wage and training. As a Cape Verdean born guest, it was disheartening seeing what blood and sweat kept a “hotel”, an illusion of rest and relaxation, alive. The man that owns this place needs a huge reality check. "

"Staff went above and beyond to help solve a problem I had. Room was clean and comfortable and hotel location was convenient, next to restaurants and grocery store. "

"Very nice resort, close to sall beach, excellent large pool, excellent clearn modern rooms. Location: a bit far from city center and other restaurants but you can just take a cab at low cost. "

"The staff was very nice and accommodating after a mistake was made with my booking. The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast was good."

"Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. "

"Clean, quiet, extremely professional staff"

"Good breakfast and near to a supermarket and restaurants. 5 minutes from a beach. Be careful when i did check in they wanted to pay again the fares and taxes! Took 2 days to resolve the problem. They speak in escudos and we don’t understand cuz we think is the city tax ( 23€) and they wanted me to pay around 300€!! Take whit u all the receives to prove what u did already paid. The rest everything was good. "

"This was my first visit to Cape Verde and I will definitely stay here again on any future visits. The entire property was very neat and clean and reasonably priced. Loved the unique decor. From the front desk to the bartender…Every single member of the staff was super friendly and helpful, even with problems I had trying to move around the country away from the hotel. They definitely went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend!"
