Accomodation

A number of hotels and hostel type accomodation are available on the islands of Cape Verde. They do differ in style, standards and quality. Some of the hotels are newer than others and built by Italian, Spanish, Belgian and Cape Verde investors and a few others.

There are new hotels and  resorts being buiylt ssuch as the one that opened on Sal Island which is the Tortuga Beach Resort. It has 14 hotel rooms and villas and apartments which are mostly managed by Sol-Melia.

We do have some hotels and accomodation types who have advertised in our Yellow-E-Business section.

There are some smaller more basic types of accomodation available but not sourced in one place for tourists to find easily. Within Cape Verde Tips we are endeavouring to bring together these varied accomodation types into one source so that we can provide you with a greater and less expensive choice. We have started the Yellow-E-Business section but not many of the hotels are presently advertising within this, so we are looking at a supportive system which will help provide the traveler with more information on other types of accomodation available on the islands.

There are 10 islands from which you may wish to visit : Sal, Boavista, Sao Vicente, Santo Antao, Maio, Santiago, Sao Nicolau, Fogo, Brava and Santa Luzia, some islands have more types of accomodation than others.

Having been to seven out of the 10 islands I know there is a range of accomodation types to choose from.

With international airports on Sal, Santiago, and Boavista and no on Sao Vicente, people will be able to fly in from various countries and be able to island hop either by air or sea to see more of other islands. They are currently doing this now, but as explained in the Travel section and other places within this website, there are things you need to consider when planning inter island travel.

There are some basic rooms in some accomodation types, no high standards, but are you really bothered as long as its clean. Others types of accomodation will be more costly, ensuite rooms, power showers and air con.....its your choice and your budget!

Some places may not have English speaking staff or only speak Portuguese so you may wish to take that into account when trying to contact them.

We currently have accomodation advertised as available on Sal Island, but we are contacting others on Sal and other islands too.

A few hotels closed on Sal early late 2010, they ma re-open at some point in 2011.

We have also joined up with Hostel Bookers to promote and add more accomodation types online. Those that Hostel Bookers can be found within the link on the right.
