A lovely restaurant with beautiful sea views and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The menu is clearly aimed at tourists, so we were a bit disappointed not to find any traditional Cape Verdean dishes. That said, the food was genuinely tasty. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever had! Staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. You can also order food and drinks poolside during the day, which is a nice touch. If you can, try to time your visit around sunset. The views are stunning and add to the experience.

Our second accommodation on the island after Santa Maria. Murdeira Village is the place for peace and quiet, no music in the daytime anywhere… heaven! Our room was at the back of the village, giving us sunshine on the balcony in the morning, out of the wind, plastic furniture is tiny and broken on the balcony, we used the sitting room chairs. The room is big, well maintained, very basic, not really a kitchenette we only had two odd glasses, two odd tiny cups and we had to ask for a kettle. The Fridge is tired but ok, no cooking facilities. No aircon needed for sleeping, I could feel the springs in the bed, slept on a duvet thing did help. Lovely fresh cotton sheets every couple of days. Laundry very clean and the room was cleaned everyday. Blackout curtains. That sand does get everywhere! The shower is very good if you have it before everyone else. A small shop down the road. There is rocky Sandy walks up and down the coast from the village. Average temp was 25 degrees, perfect. Evening cooler and sleep able. Our air cushions came in handy on the sun loungers, there are not enough sun loungers round the pool but we managed to get some most days. The sun loungers are homemade wood and not the ones on the website, no loungers on the beach as in the website images. The cushions mats are spilt and tired but they are comfy if you get out of the wind. Would be great to have loungers on the beach or beach chairs and wind breaks. More wind here as it is exposed, the cove bay is swimmable when the sea is less rough. Some coral and fish here, we did snorkel and you can sea turtles. The hotel beach bar / restaurant and beach bar has good food. We had the b&b options, one of everything off the breakfast list. Dried French bread jams and butter, egg (how you like them), fruit salad, yogart, a ham and cheese sandwich (good for lunch). The pool is busy at weekend. Sunset most nights, depending on the amount of sand in the air. We hailed the local bus at the roundabout into Santa Maria, €1.20 each, cozy hiace vans, very friendly and wonderful people. Very easy to get back too.

I spent 10 days at this hotel while traveling alone. Overall, everything went well. The pool is saltwater and is cleaned every evening, though the surroundings are a bit dated. The room wasn’t spotless, but it was generally clean, and the bedding was okay. A minor downside is the Wi-Fi, which rarely worked in the room. However, it’s of good quality at the reception and in the restaurant. The restaurant (I was on half-board) offers classic European food (pasta, pizzas, burgers, omelets, etc.) along with two different meat dishes each evening. Breakfasts are very good. The staff is very friendly, though I did have an uncomfortable experience with one waiter who was a bit intrusive, making me uneasy despite my refusals to 'get friendly' with him. But all the other people working at the hotel and restaurant were very professional, caring and friendly. There are security guards who patrol during the day and night, which is quite reassuring. There’s a shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day, but it would be nice if there was an extra trip in the mid-afternoon. I had a nice stay at Murdeira Village !
