Il y a quelques petites choses à revoir dans la réactivité face à un problème, 2 jours pour ne pas régler le problème pour enfin trouver la solution de changer de chambre. L’insonorisation des chambres est à revoir. Mais je remercie la fille de la réception aux cheveux bouclés avec un service exceptionnel, le personnel du restaurant très avenant

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I only had one issue during my stay and a couple of suggestions. First, the shower in my room never worked properly, I put in a service request to have the shower fixed, and even after it was serviced, it never worked correctly. So there was never an opportunity to take a hot proper shower. Also the pool closes at 1800 every day which is a bit inconvenient being in a tropical area. The breakfast each morning was good, However, breakfast is only served from 8 AM to 10 AM. I wish they could add about a half an hour at the beginning and the end for more time especially considering some days you may want to get going early for tours and other days you might want to sleep in a bit. However, all of that being said, I enjoyed my stay and definitely would consider staying there again as the overall feel of the place is nice and the staff is very helpful.

Stay in Cape Verde
We had an incredible 12-day stay at Hotel Buddha beach in Cape Verde! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and outstanding service. The hotel was impeccably clean, with our room being tidied up perfectly every day. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, always friendly and accommodating to our needs. The location was perfect, offering beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. The amenities were top-notch, and the food was delicious with a variety of options to suit all tastes. The pool area was well-maintained, providing a relaxing atmosphere to unwind. Overall, Hotel Buddha Beach exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cape Verde and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

very nice place, a little disappointed in the room
this is a very nice quiet hotel, but there are a few things useful to know.....avoid room one which has no aircon working and is a bit dark. most rooms don't have a sea view and the road is a bit dirty. book well in advance as they get busy. the restaurant is great and the staff are very attentive at all times.

Beautiful peaceful oceanfront hotel
Beautiful setting. Huge spacious room with brilliant ocean view. Comfortable bed. All plumbing works consistently well. Great location with lovely walk into town. Gripe: many ‘rules’ and rather unfriendly staff largely detract from notion of hospitality. Breakfast food often ran low, selection somewhat uninteresting.

Quiet and comfortable hotel
Comfortable hotel at the opposite end of Santa Maria to the big resorts, by the windsurfing beach and 10 mins walk to the centre of town (don't let that put you off as well lit and safe). Room was big. Hotel and room kept spotlessly clean. Breakfast choice is ok but might become boring if there longer than a week, evening meal we tried was delicious (and always some live music in the evening which is nice). Pool was pretty cold at the end of Feb but didnt stop me from having a daily dip. Great cocktails poolside! Staff we're clearly getting ready for summer repainting and deep cleaning every part of the hotel over the week we were there. They really work hard to keep it in good appearance.

"Budha" is a right name for the hotel , its a very quiet nice place , a bit away from big beaches and town crowds but within walking distance from all the "life", so we enjoyed a lot the calm chilling afternoon near the pool after busy days . People in the hotel are very nice , the manager Armanda was the top, she always was welcoming, warm and helpful whenever we needed. Loved the place and recommend.

Fine hotel with great staff.
We stayed in a suite which I measured to be about 15x5.5 meters. Simply huge. The breakfast was great and the staff in the restaurant was just so friendly and kind. At the reception we had the pleasure to talk with all the people on duty. Great people. Special thanks to Armanda for her unique way to interact with the guests. If you’re considering this hotel, don't let the 800 meters to the center of Santa Maria keep you from booking it. The distance is easily walked or a taxi can pick you up or take you for 2-3 euros. The small beach behind the hotel has a lot of rocks, but the one 200 meters away by the fitness equipment is great. All in all a great experience and I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing hotel, food and location. Located at the quiet end of the hotel strip with a beautiful pool, clean cabanas, and on the beach. Also only a 5 minute walk to all of the other restaurants, shops and bars in town. Although, we found the food at the hotel to be even better than that of the other restaurants, and at the same price. We also opted for the late checkout for the midnight flight back to Lisbon.

Beautiful restful stay with no children at the hotel which made it very peaceful and relaxing.... staff were amazing and food was really good and presentation was excellent. Ideal spot for my partner who kitesurfs as only 10 min ride to kite beach by taxi (10 Euros return). Ten min walk to centre of town.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is not luxurious but clean, comfortable and very quiet. Only negative is maybe the restaurant for diner: a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants in Santa Maria and the quality wasn't always there.
