Conclution first: if you don't understand the Italian language, it is lot less worth visiting this hotel. The hotel facility it self is ok. It is fairly up to date maintained, the staff is polite, the food is great and plenty (note: much fish though), the rooms is clean and the all-inclusive system works well. It is short distance to...

The hotel is generaly good. Based on wood bungalows with no accoustic protection. If your neighbour speaks normally you'll ear it! The food is very good and abundant! The beach and swimiming pool are like you see in the brochures. Now the bad part, this is an Hotel aimed for Italians, if you come from every other country, chosse another... More

I would have rated this hotel a tad bit higher, BUT for the entirely awful experience I had with the staff on duty upon returning to my hotel room one night! I found it highly offensive and discriminatory that this man followed me all the way to my hotel room, in order to stop me and find out what my... More

For us, thanks to the guests who have entrusted us with the success of their holiday also means accepting their criticism carefully. We are sincerely sorry for what happened during your stay and that only now, after a year, you have reported the problem. But I hope you understand that since our club is an all inclusive one, barrier-free and... More

We came here to spend the Xmas time of 2012, stayed 11 days in total. The Vila Do Farol is a hotel of bungalows located close to the center of town (20 minutes walk on the streets or 30 mins on the beach) on a huge parcel. It is directly located on the beach and offers all inclusive service from... More

We spent a week at Club Bravo and enjoyed the casual and relaxed atmosphere.. This is an Italian resort and there were very few other nationalities present. The food was good very fresh and while not of goumet quality was never the less very well presented and quite varied. The fresh fruit was particularly good. The staff is friendly and... More

Cape Verde is a fantastic place for relax and sunbath... Bravo Club Vila do Farol is good but NOT at the level of the other Bravo Clubs I've seen before (Zanzibar, Maldives, Marsa Alam). I've been there with a group of 61 people, all of us from a Salsa school. The animation staff turned against us from the 1st day,... More

I stayed here with my wife and two daughters (10 and 7) on an all-inclusive basis. We were transferred from the Djadsal (where we originally booked) due to overunning building works on the pool there (please see my review of the Djadsal for more details). We have travelled quite a lot and usually organise our holidays independently so our expectations... More

The hotel staff speak various languages and hand signals work well. There is 2 English speaking reception staff so if you have any problems or queries... More

We have just come back from a one week holiday in Cape Verde. Whilst we both had a relaxing time, we left wondering why the media hype about these newly developing islands does not really live up to reality. It might be to attract property investors perhaps?
