The property was kept clean with lots of food options and activities. Beach side was amazing with Turquoise blue water. All inclusive bars was amazing. A must for a sunny beach seeker

The staff were really friendly, especially Erica who went above and beyond — she was just so lovely and welcoming. We paid extra for birthday decorations for our mum’s room, and the team really went the extra mile to make it look beautiful, which made her day feel so special. I wouldn’t class the hotel as a 5*, more of a solid 4*, but I honestly couldn’t fault it and would definitely stay again if I came back to Cape Verde!

Not impressed with the room, or the style of seperate houses. We stayed at Melia Unas for 5 days their set was better, paths of tiles not gravel. I asked for a hairdryer it never came. Food was good and all the staff very helpful and pleasent.

The hotel grounds were lovely as were the staff. However the hotel is very outdated and will look slightly different to the photos. We also had ants all over our bed when we first arrived so had to get the covers changed twice and the shower towels sometimes did not appear clean.

Didn’t realise our room would be next to building site. Staff nice, food and drink nice. Hotel looked dated and felt ‘not quite finished’. Blood stain on one of the blanket throws on the bed. Felt we were here for too short a stay (3 nights) to change rooms as we were told we could only change rooms the following day. Despite this we loved our short break.

Check-in problems

When we arrive at 2 o'clock in the morning we discovered that we had no room there,even if we had booked in April and we had to go to another Melia resort in the nearby. we were very disappointed also for the standard of the premises that it is not at all a 5-star hotel, as you can see from the picture. We had to argue all the time with the respinsables to have 2 roomkeys (not available we had just one ), to enter the spa and to reserve restaurants. Luckily all the ordinary staff was very kind and available to help and find solutions. The other Melia Dunas has more facilities than Tortuga and the beach is fantastic. Overall holiday was nice but for sure there is a lot to improve

We were sad that La Cabana didn't have Calamari and Spinach Crockettes. Also some of the food like pasta was cold that should have been hot at the Spices. We would have liked to have seen some pizza at the buffet.

Not 5 star as sold, at most 3 star and very disappointing.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The atmosphere and landscaping looks really great. However, we couldn’t make reservations for dinner because they were always full, minutes after opening time. It was nearly impossible to get hot water in our villa so we took cold showers every night. Lastly, none of the bars would make any drinks without alcohol. For being “all inclusive” they only mean for people who drink alcohol. We stayed in a hotel in Praia that had burning hot water and was a fraction of the cost. I won’t be staying here again.

Für mich entsprach der Service keinem Fünf-Sterne-Standard, sondern war eher mittelmässig. Das beginnt bei den Zimmern, wo anstelle von Shampoo Handseife bereitgestellt war. Auch beim Check-in und bei den Liften gab es mehrere Punkte, die nicht überzeugt haben. Zusätzlich war der Lärm im Esssaal sehr hoch und könnte aus meiner Sicht durch eine Deckendämmung deutlich reduziert werden.

Koselig hotell, men bærer preg av behov for vedlikehold. Bassengområdet var lite og ganske bråkete. Bedre å være på stranda. Bassengområdet ved huset var liteninnbydende. Middagen i buffeen var god, men lunchen og frokosten var laber. Service nivået og maten på beach baren var fullstendig krise.
