The apartment was very well appointed and comfortable with a great location within the complex with easy access to supermarkets etc when required Rebecca and Jay were great hosts. Very responsive to any small issues which arose. Overall would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a stress free break in Cape Verde

The property is very good and has all that one needs for a comfortable stay. Some minor irritations but nothing serious. Be aware that there are 18 steps up to the apartment. The apartment overlooks the main pool and on occasions the music gets a bit loud. The resort is very nice but in places its looking a bit tired. The processes to manage an account for spending on the resort if self catering, need to be made easier. The staff are excellent and lovely people but burdened by this admin. The WiFi is not good and very unpredictable. Great beach and beach grill. Overall a lovely holiday and we would use again and recommend to friends and family who want sun, sand, sea and great restuarants in Santa Maria.

Very nice apartment with all creature comforts available. Notably, the kitchen is truly equipped so that self-catering is a real possibility, a rather rare element in short-term rentals. The owners are super-reactive, both before and during the stay, responding within minutes to all queries. We'd return without any hesitation. The Melia resort where the flat is located provides a good baseload of entertainment and has a prime location on the beach; the pools, paths, common areas, equipments, and various built-up elements however begin to show their age and will require a caring hand to get back to their claimed 5-star status, where they no longer are.

The information provided by Rebecca was comprehensive, including numerous restaurants in Santa Maria and available amenities on the resort. The location was superb especially if you enjoy walking. There were several different routes into Santa Maria varying from 2 to 4 miles. The apartment was well appointed on the resort,the kitchen was well equiped and the rooms were spacious. A large well equiped terrace was blessed by the late afternoon, early evening sun. A lovely 3 week escape to the sun.

My wife and I travelled to the Melia Tortuga Beach resort on January 21st 2020, returning to the UK on 24th February. The complex consists of a substantial number of villas and apartments, all of which are situated close to the beach, which itself is magnificent. There are a number of excellent restaurants in the resort, where prices are reasonable if you are not in an all-inclusive basis. We chose a self-catering apartment which was excellently equipped. Our balcony overlooked a large communal swimming-pool where entertainment for both children and adults takes place throughout the day, so if you are elderly (70 plus) and are looking for a quiet vacation, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are younger, with children, the resort is first class, as was our accommodation. The coastal town of Santa Maria is some 3 kilometres from the Tortuga resort and a taxi fare from the hotel to the centre of the town is approximately 3 Euros. There are many first class restaurants which are not expensive. If you are self-catering there is a very adequate grocery store nearby. If you are looking for winter sun Tortuga Brach is well worth considering.

Excellent well kept apartment. Excellent communications from the owner and good advice on all aspects of the holiday.

If you want to have a great time at SAL, we highly recommend this apartment at Tortuga Beach resort. The apartment is perfectly located at the resort with all the facilities you want. Communication with the owner (Rebecca) was really great and helpfull. We had a wonderfull time (2 adults and one chilf of 4). The apartment is located in the middle of the resort with a direct view on the swimming pool. It was our 4th time in SAL and our second time in Tortuga Beach Resort. The resort itself is great as well. We did not use the all-inclusive option at the resort. Instead we used taxis to the city center (5min drive) and had diner / lunch at the nice restaurants. There is also a small supermarkt in 5minutes walking distance which we used to get some basic groceries. Just perfect!
