Disappointing. Very disappointing.
Reviewed By kiukwI had no lodge when I arrived to Tarrafal from Porto Mosquito and Cidade Velha. So, the usual move: look for a place with wifi to have a drink and look for options. I found a very interesting hotel by the sea in Tarrafal. But they had no availability in any of the OTAs they worked with and there seemed that hotel had not their own site. And of course I was not going to pay again the walk-in BAR. So I looked for another option. Two different OTAs recommended this one due to the location. The hotel promotes itself as having sea views. You could even see some photos portrating the beach on the OTAs sites. I really wanted to stay by the sea, but considering the lodge location on the map, it was quite obvious the hotel was not going to have the sea views they were using to lure you. 'Well' --I thought-- 'maybe I can see the sea... from a far distance'. And yes: I could see a thin blue line far on the horizon. But that was it. The hotel location is horrible. Dark at nights, in a non-paved road with literally nothing interesting around. No restaurants, bars, shops; nothing. If you don't have a car you are definitely not doing 0.5 miles (750 mts) on foot to get to downtown from there at night. --And reception closes at 10.30 pm, so forget about a taxi; your only choice is to stay around downtown till late and then cross your fingers hopping to find a taxi -- and I do not remember to see many of them around Tarrafal. I had some work to do. So, well, at least the hotel had wi-fi in all rooms. But no. Again a temporary problem which only allowed you to connect from the lobby. That's when I learned you don't have to expect for wi-fi while in Africa unless you are staying in an international branded hotel or similar. And then: breakfast. It was supposed to be served at 7 am. I had to wait till 7.30 to have breakfast the first day --about which I saw some reviews stating it was plentiful. 'Plentiful' is not exactly the word I would use to describe it. It was fine, better than in some other places I stayed while in Senegal, but never plentiful. Well, the story is I asked the lady who prepared the breakast to have a cup of coffee and a sandwich ready for 7 am the day after --I needed to be in the airport in Praia at 9 am. She said she would have something ready. And, guess what? As I think I was the only guest that day, she would not even bothered to open the dinnig room to prepare breakfast. All the doors closed --including reception, which opens at 8.00 am. Shameful. Rooms were at least ok --that's why I am not giving a worst rate to this place. Plenty of room, nice furniture and ok sleep. The rooms are in fact apartments --quite affordable, by the way. But this means you don't have your apartment done next morning. So, considering everything, I would never recommend this place to anyone going to Tarrafal. Never. P.S.: by the way: the Sofa is trendy but not cozy to relax a little bit and watch TV at the end of the day --too short I could not fit. Since this is an apartment, rooms are not equipped with TV. And the only TV available wasn't working. Only ONE channel available. Shameful.

An excellent service and food at Casa Strela. The fish of the day menu was delicious so was the homemade icecream. Top!

Nice location, spacious room, and friendly staff
Reviewed By oliver-k6We spent five nights in this hotel and were very satisfied. The hotel is located close to the beach and the city centre. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was big, the bed very comfortable and everything very clean. Also the internet connection was very good. They offered free water in the lobby, which was great. We could pay our stay in Euros with the exchange rate you get in the bank, which was very fair. We only have two suggestions for improvement: 1. It's a pity that the breakfast officially starts at 8 a.m. but guest are only served from about 8:15 a.m. There is no buffet and guest are not served all at once but bit by bit. Therefore, the breakfast takes quite a long time, which is no problem if one has no plans for the day. But as we sometimes had booked excursions that started at 8:45 or 9:00 in the morning, we had to eat very fast, which wasn't pleasant. It would therefore be nice if breakfast started earlier and/or guests were served faster. 2. On the second day the cleaning lady threw away our soap and we didn't get a new one the whole week. Furthermore, the cleaning lady threw away the package of my eye drops from the bedside table. It would therefore be nice if the cleaning ladies were better instructed. However, as I said, overall we were very satisfied and would definitely come back.

Entspannen in Tarrafal

5. Tarrafal Guest House

3.5 based on 2 reviews
Sehr engagierter Hausbetreuer, mehr nicht
Reviewed By muelly90Wir waren insgesamt 4 Nächte hier im Guest House. In Summe ist die Zeit hier zu lang. Das Guest House übertrifft alle weiteren Häuser in Tarrafal; es ist sehr schön, sauber und am Meer gelegen (jedoch nicht am Hauptstrand!!!!). Für das Abendessen muss man ziemlich weit ins „Städtchen“ laufen, das bei Dunkelheit, es gibt schöneres. Der Verwalter des Anwesens ist sehr engagiert. Er war für uns da. Selbst als Stromausfall war, ist er gekommen und hat sich darum gekümmert. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste während unseren Aufenthalts. Das Frühstück war wirklich sehr gut. Leider wurde unser Zimmer kein einziges Mal gereinigt. Neue Handtücher haben wir einmal bekommen, weil wir nachgefragt haben....ein nächtliches Hobby wird Kleintiere jagen...

Preisgünstiger Mittagstisch in der Hotelbar
Reviewed By KnalljoeskungarIch habe mir die Zimmer dieses Hotels angeschaut und ich würde aus hygienischen Gründen von einer Übernachtung abraten. Es gibt ein Restaurant im Hotel das einen sehr gepflegten Eindruck macht. Da ich mittags da war und das Restaurant erst am Abend aufmacht musste ich mit der Hotelbar vorlieb nehmen. Hier gibt es 4 verschiedene Gerichte mit Fisch und Spagetti mit Tomatensoße für unglaubliche 350 Escudos pro Teller. Also Spagetti werde ich auf den Kap Verden sicherlich nicht essen und so entschloss ich mich für einen Fischteller. Der Fisch wurde vor der Bar auf einem Holzkohlegrill zubereitet und war mit einer Soße mit Knoblauch und Koriander auch gut gewürzt. Dazu gab es Reis, Pommes Frites, Tomaten und Gurkenscheiben. Keine riesige Portion aber vollkommen ausreichend. Bedienung spricht nur Kreolisch aber irgendwie hat die Verständigung dann doch geklappt. Gesamtpreis mit zwei Super Bock und Kaffee 690 Escudos.

HORRIBLE! STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!
Reviewed By 190katelynrMany days prior to are arrival, we communicated with the aparthotel via email that we would be arriving in the middle of the night and they confirmed that there would be someone to check us in when we arrived. So, we spent 60 euro to rent a car to drive up to the hotel in the middle of the night (we could have saved that money by staying in Praia). However, no body was there when we arrived and after spending a lot of time trying to get into any room, we ended up sleeping in our car. Then even when the manager arrived 4 hours later, he lied to us and said he had a room and they would send someone to check us in, but they still didn’t have a room available for us until noon when the current occupants checked out. This was extremely uncomfortable, inconvenient, and a waste of time and money. we were supposed to stay four more nights but couldn't handle being in the hotel even when we finally got a room, as many things they listed as "provided with the room" where not there. The manager refused to acknowledged and insisted that our booking was for 5 nights.

Ultimo recurso
Reviewed By C1146ILcharlesbNós só ficamos porque as alternativas estavam cheias.Tivemos o quarto nr 4. A cama casal tinha formigas e os lençóis velhos. O colchão não cheirava bem e a estrutura de madeira já estava a pedir substituição. As luzes funcionam. A televisão do século passado nem tentei ligar. Agua quente não tem. Wifi não esperimentei, nos quartos não há sinal. No wc não há cortina de banho e o chuveiro é alto e fixo, ficas com chão molhado e não há uma toalha para por os pés. A sanita, um nojo, com fundo preto, dá medo de usar. Para dormir, felizmente trouxemos o nosso colchão de ar. Musica e barulho de festa praticamente até as 2h da madrugada. Vamos mudar para o hotel ao lado,Hotel Cachoeira assim que amanhecer ou voltamos para casa.
