Omg!!!! I can’t say enough about my wonderful stay at this hotel during an August 2023 birthday trip. From beginning to end, the amazing staff and manager went above and beyond to meet all of my needs. I felt safe, welcomed and I will definitely be back again. The rooms are impeccably clean and modern. The breakfast is something to look forward to everyday, and the beautiful woman on the staff will put a smile on your face everyday that you stay here. Don’t hesitate, book a stay here immediately! You will not regret. Letícia, Kleidy and Eloneida…thank you for making my first trip to Cabo Verde and my birthday UNFORGETTABLE!!!!

Super clean and comfortable boutique hotel. Bed and pillows are great. Breakfast is very complete and delicious. Service is impecable, they helped us even to get a cab to the airport very early morning and prepare some breakfast the night before. The terrace with the pool are super nice, perfect for those days where the beach is super windy!

Our sea view room on 3rd floor was very spacious and clean. The bed was really comfortable and very big. The staff in the rooftop bar ( which is where breakfast is served) we're really friendly & helpful. In particular Kevin was always cheerful and ready to help).The hotel is situated right in the middle of Santa Maria with numerous bars, restaurants and shops on the doorstep. The beautiful beach was a short 5-10 minute walk away. Sunbeds and shades can be rented at 10 Euros for 2 people.

Everything was correct, The staff was always friendly ad hepfull. Under the quality standar of this area this is the best place we have been. We arrived late at night and reception was not open (but instructions to enter the building, where to find the room keys and basic information was provided). It was very easy. On the following day we made the check-in and payed the stay by card. On this island you can always pay cash in euros. The breakfast on the toproof was quite complete and good . The view from there and the swimming pool add a plus to this experience. If I come back again I will choose this place again.

I visited Santa Maria and stayed at 7 different, equivalent hotels during the week. Design Suites is the best hotel. The staff is helpful and very nice. I had tv problems and the manager organized help immediately and solved the problem. The cleaning is very good. Overall, the maintenance of the hotel is good. During the week there were several power outages on the island. In this hotel, the business has worked without problems. This indicates a good organization and committed staff. I will gladly come back to the "best hotel" on the island.

The hotel met all my expectations. Large room, large comfortable bed, clean sheets and towels. A large balcony with armchairs and a dryer for wet clothes. A well-cooled refrigerator with space has ice. There is a bag with towels and blankets for the beach in the room. Bathrobe. Breakfasts are served on the rooftop with a beautiful view of the ocean and city. The breakfast is good enough and I was full. I like the fact that it is calm, quiet and cozy there, like home. We also ate breakfast in the silence of our home. There is a small swimming pool where you can take amazing photos. We contacted the manager via WhatsApp and arranged a meeting on site. She is a very nice and professional person. The hotel is of European standard with the addition of local local food and atmosphere. The view is overlooking some of the residents, so you can observe what a Cabover resident's day looks like every day. Its safe. I highly recommend this hotel.

I loved the place and the people. Especially Kevin and Lettice at the Roof rop bar. Great food and really nice people- specially when travelling alene. The place was clean, modern. It never felt crowded and it was easy to get to know other guests if you wanted company.
