This is my favorite spot to stay in all of Cape Verde. Amazing staff. Peaceful place, close to beach. I love that at the same time it is nicely tucked away from everything.

Very friendly staff great breakfast food, walking distance to beach, staff isn’t on site 24 hours but this is my personal opinion. Everyone was still very accommodating and was just a phone call away, it was very nice!

Nice place

It was amazing, my room was pretty big, shared bath room, but it was very clean. Great location, close to the beach. For the plateau you have to walk around 20 - 30mins. The street is very loud, but during the night there's not a lot of traffic. It was a very pleasant stay.

Thank you

Everyone was helpful from picking us up at the airport late in the night to letting us stay one more night without notice. Breakfast is good and there is a restaurant in the guesthouse that seems quite nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at Syd's Guesthouse. Syd was very helpful with general advice and answering our questions. The food at Syd's is delicious and probably some of the best we had during our stay in Cape Verde. Angela and her colleague were both incredible, very friendly and cooked us amazing breakfasts every morning. We would really recommend a stay at Syd's Guesthouse!

Close to the beach with a nice patio. Syd was very nice and helpful. I found it a little difficult to check in because there is a locked gate out front that you can’t get through unless someone is there to let you in.

Quiet, residential neighborhood. A bit of a walk to get to any kind of convenience store. The room was serviceable with a shared bathroom and shower.
