Blue Marlin Hotel

Absoluut een aanrader! Nieuw hotel met zeer vriendelijk personeel dat altijd klaarstond om te helpen, zelfs na een late aankomst.

We spent 2400€ for an 8 days stay in this hotel, for 3 people. It's a lot of money and it was supposed to be the highlight of our trip to Cabo Verde. The main reason why we chose this apartment was the view and the private swimming pool. The view is beautiful, but the swimming pool was unusable most of the time : very dirty, with yellow stains on the walls and more and more cloudy. In a word, disgusting. The problem is we asked for the cleaning of the pool or repair of the filtering system like every day. And each day it was supposed to be solved, a person was supposed to get there and solve the problem. And each time nobody showed up. The problem was solved only the day before we left ! We asked for a refund, but the only offer we got was not to pay the laundry, which was a neglectible refund in comparison with what we paid for this hotel. We asked to complain to the owner, but the owner was unreachable, in another country, ill, etc. The management took my email and said that they would get in touch with us after we left, which of course never happened. I could mention also other problems, less serious but that still show that this hotel is overpriced : one day the water pressure was so low it was impossible to shower. It took more than one day to solve the problem ! So my advice is : do not choose this hotel. It's the price of a luxury hotel, but certainly not the service of a luxury hotel.

Well positioned between the beach, main downtown and the ferry terminal. All easily walkable. Room was comfortable. The legendary view is absent from first floor rooms (it’s mainly a lemon tree and a wall). Possibly second floor rooms get above the neighbors roof. Staff are brilliant. Helpful, pleasant, had good ideas for places to listen to music/eat out. Breakfast ok. Dining room pleasant. With the heat of the country, the pool was amazing at the end of the day

The staff was helpful and friendly. Food was great and the room was really clean and comfortable!

Amazing place, the view from the rooms is very beautiful,good breakfast. The only downside is there's construction next-door which makes noise

Excellent

Hotel sympathique situé sur une petite colline dominant le port. Très belle vue depuis la terrasse de la chambre. Et excellente situation, à 10 mn à pied du centre historique de Mindelo. L’accueil est souriant, le petit déjeuner complet et la piscine, plutôt un bassin de nage, bien entretenue et agréable. Malheureusement, mais ce n’est que temporaire, il y a un bâtiment en construction voisin de l’hôtel, ce qui, en ce moment, amène quelques nuisances sonores dans la journée, mais franchement, rien que pour la vue, cet hôtel mérite que nous les supportions.

Bel établissement à l’écart du centre ville. L restauration est bonne et variée, mais le temps d’attente est important « No stress ».
