We had a great time and really enjoyed our holiday. The flat was very comfortable and well-equipped. The African art deco was impressive. The terrace was a big bonus, as we were able to eat outside. It was an advantage being on the Tortuga complex, as we were able to use all the facilities of the hotel. The beach and ocean are amazing. We did a tour of the island which has spectacular scenery. There's a lot of info in the flat, left by Clyde, which we found very useful, regarding places to visit, eat etc. Clyde was very quick to reply to our mails, and the couple of minor problems we had in the flat (broken kettle!) were remedied promptly. If you want to eat in, the kitchen has everything you need. If you want to eat out, the hotel restaurants are good, but not cheap by CV standards. There's a great restaurant on the beach at Ponta Preta - fantastic fresh fish. If you phone they'll pick you up and return you to the hotel for free. It's walkable during the day, - just along the beach from the hotel - but not in the evening. The walk into Santa Maria is a bit of a trek (at least for people of our age): best to get a taxi for 3 euros. But it is worth visiting the town. I think what we'll remember most about the holiday were the people: everybody was so friendly, helpful, smiling and happy. It was great!

The apartment was lovely. Spacious living and dining area and 2 nice rooms.The complex was very pleasant too and the beach was beautiful.We would have liked morning sun on the balcony but you can't have everything ! We had some minor problems with the property which were very quickly sorted out by the owner.Santa Maria had some very nice restaurants which was fortunate as eating in the hotel is very very expensive.The evening entertainment was loud but it finished at 10 pm so that was perfectly fine.It's definiltely a beach holiday as there is not much else to do on Sal.Weather was very nice.

Other than a poor spell of weather, which can't be blamed on the owners, we had just about an absolutely perfect holiday. People were really friendly and helpful and the location was spot-on. Although slightly further from the beach than I would have liked, the walk through the complex was very pleasant and often amusing. The apartment itself was excellent, with everything we could have needed. Lunches and breakfasts were easily prepared, but ease of travelling (taxis available from reception) and a wide variety of choice in Santa Maria meant eating out was never a chore. Although there were numerous smaller café/bars serving enjoyable local produce at very reasonable prices, fine dining was also available around the pier and beachfront. The only disappointment in all this was the lack of desserts, although on the bright side, it does help the figure. As mentioned by the owner, Ponta Preta is well worth a visit. A 20 minute walk along the beach, the view itself is worth the walk, this small restaurant, has a great atmosphere, a great view and a well-priced menu and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you go nowhere else, please visit Ponta Preta. All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, although as stated, the weather was pretty poor, cloudy and very windy and we would recommend this apartment as a great base.

This is my apartment to which I travel to on my own as the resort and island of sal are very safe. I eat out at the local restaurants in the town of Santa Maria which offer good quality food at reasonable prices. I enjoy the walk along the beach to the town and the weather has always been good. I love watching the sunset from the balcony ..This is a great place to relax and unwind as the island has a relaxing energy .

We have just spent Christmas week in this spacious and well looked after apartment. It was three of us and there was plenty of space, including a nice balcony. The apartment is within the Melia Tortuga hotel, so we could access all the pools, bars and entertainment. The hotel restaurants are also accessible, although the quality is average and prices are a bit on the high side, so we preferred to either cook, or eat out, either at the local beach restaurant or in Santa Maria where there are many good options. All in all it was a great week and the apartment's owners were very helpful.

I had a fantastic holiday at Blue lagoon apartment. On tortuga beach resort. The apartment has everything you need to make your holiday special it is truly 5 star .very comfy with two lage leather sofas and all local artwork on the walls .the resort is very special with tropical gardens and fresh water pools and it is built on the beach..and only 3min taxi drive to santa Maria the local town were there Are loads of little bars and restaurants. When I was there I had two full weeks of sun which was very relaxing in Nov.
