Organised an airport transfer but no one came to collect, luckily there was a night guard who could still check us in and we did get a free upgrade. Also extending the stay was very easy. Location is good very near the beach and room condition was great also. Would recommend

Nice enough hotel just a short walk to the centre of the town.
First night there was a loud buzzing from electricity box that kept me up all night. That was sorted the next day.
I had 2 VIP Gold offers on my account. They failed to provide either of them. Didn’t receive a bottle of sparkling wine on checkin. Indeed they charged me €2 for a bottle of water.
I was also entitled to free late checkout. They refused unless I paid €25 (so there was obviously availability).
The shower seems to run out of hot water by 9am. So I couldn’t shower before checking out.
It’s ok for the price, but might be worth ignoring any Gold benefits offered (you won’t get them) and paying a bit more to stay somewhere else.

Honestly, find somewhere else to stay. This hotel charged my card without my consent and/or knowledge and refused to refund the money. management has not been responding to my phone calls or emails. Hotel Da Luz's shady behavior, coupled with Cabo Verde airlines even shadier behavior made for an absolutely shitty experience.

The property is very clean and well staffed. It is quiet day and night yet only a short walk to the restaurants, beaches and souvenir shops of Santa Maria.

Breakfast spread was really scanty. On my last morning we literally only had bread, egg, cheese. No bacon, no sausages, no cereal, no fresh juice, no yoghurt
I couldn’t sit in my ground floor room balcony because water from the AC units in the top rooms was channeled to my balcony. Disgusting.

Lovely stay!
Clean, modern, beautiful hotel. Lovely location, close to the beach and some great restaurants but out the way enough that you feel like one of the locals.
Really happy friendly staff, from reception, kitchen to house keeping. Everyone says good morning and couldn’t help you enough!
Towels were provided everyday, aircon worked beautifully, shower was lovely, beds really comfy.
I can’t fault our stay if I tried. And I would definitely consider staying again!

I stayed at Hotel Da Luz for a week, the hotel has been recemtly refurbished to a high standard, my room was clean and kept clean throughout the week. The staff were attentive and helpful, ordering me taxis when needed and answering my questions. Breakfast was a fairly standard continental one but for the cheap price i paid for they stay was better than expected. Angulo beach bar is just a few minutes away where you can hire paddle boards and windsurfers etc, swim or just chill at the bar. I would recommend this hotel, very good value for money and would definately stay there again.

The hotel manager (I think) was very accommodating for us as a family with a toddler - welcoming, helpful and flexible. The hotel staff in general were polite and friendly, though some reception staff could perhaps be a little more helpful with information (directions, local recommendations, taxi information). No specific issues though, we generally had a very pleasant stay.Although there were still some snagging issues from recent renovations these would be expected from any renovation works and staff were very quick to resolve issues so I have no complaints at all.The hotel facilities were very good and various spaces welcoming, clean and relaxing - pool, lobby, dining room, etc.I'd highly recommend this hotel, and I hope we return!

Overall our experience was good, the hotel looks good, it's clean and the breakfast is nice. Our main critique is that there is a big lacking of warmth and empathy from the staff. Contrary to what I expect from Cape Verdian people. Most of the staff seems grumpy and not focused. When entering the hotel, you are seldomly greeted, and when we had a problem with our key card and asked for help, a sigh was their first reaction. Also the staff during breakfast seemed overoccupied and was not really helpful. I believe an atmosphere of warm hospitality is the most important goal of any hotel, and last but not least: it costs nothing!

Value for money, helpful staff, it is quite close to the centre of santa maria and the beach and I would go back to the hotel without a second thought.
