Hotels near Ilhas do Barlavento

The owner Gabriel and his staff was exceptionally helpfull. The hotel is very quiet, close to the center and beach. The breakfast was more then enough. The room was cleaned regularly. Tarrafal is a good place to discover the island. I would stay here an other time, too.

Casa da Regina is a great place to stay. It doesn't serve breakfast, at least in low season, in May, when I came, but there is nothing saying it does, just the place name, maybe at the beginning they did. Admin questions are difficult to solve to it in understandable that they didn'tchange the name. The sea view in front of the window, the sea sound and the breeze are amazing. As it is a bit away from the center it is quite. Regarding some of the remarks I read: yes indeed there are some kitchen utensils missing like the one to open a tuna can, or a wine bottle, but you just need to go downstairs at ask Regina or any family member and they will open it for you, it is a nice way to socialize and no bother for them. You need to remember that there is no ikea, and that maybe in the past the other guests took the utensils with the or broke them and they cannot keep putting stuff that we bake or take with us. On weekends the kiosk in front can become lively with neighbors coming, drinking beer and grill, but it will end way before midnight and if you see bothered with the noise, you just need to ask and they will pay attention. Tourists always complain: or there is not enough music or there is too much...I am amazed with the criticism I read and the lack of kindness and empathy with a country where people are so nice
