Stivan, was very good and helpful from beginning to end. MOST employees were very helpful, but had same issue Again, with woman behind desk trying to call us out for late check out, when we solved the issue. By extending check out early this morning to have no problems, but they tried to embarrassed us again, wow second time, on second trip to property, I must not fit the profile.

We got a very good price for this property. The service was quite good. The only thing I would complain about is that the buffet was a bit limited and it wouldn't change that much from day to day. Also the quality of some dishes was a bit questionable. For such a big resort, the gym was quite small and most of the machines were not working. They offer a transfer to go to Santa Maria, however, there is one a day and it's shared with the other Meliá hotels nearby, so very few seats are available for people staying at Sol Dunas. Also, there is no transfer to go back to the hotel...

I enjoyed it very much. I did do an upgrade to be on the level side but was very disappointed. There was nothing leveled about the room at all. I wish it was more accommodating. I would come back here for sure but i do believe it need somewhat of an upgrade on the level side. More amenities in the bathroom and the room itself as well. As a Cape Verdean myself I had a great time but the staff could be more gentle with everyone aside from where they came from. They were nicer after knowing I came from the US. Overall I enjoyed the resort and my time here.

I travelled with my family (my wife and 2 yound children) and we enjoyed almost every single moment of our stay. The resort is in very good condition with a lot of things for people of all ages to do. My only 2 gripes are: 1. None of the kids pools are heated and so in very windy weather all the pools were freezing cold and the kids couldn't swim. 2. Our rooms weren't cleaned one day (despite leaving the correct notice on the door) and coming back from a long day of exploration/touring with 2 kids to a room with no clean towels and bins still filled with rubbish was very exasperating for us. Fortunately we were able to get clean towels that night but had to wait for another 12 hours before the rooms were cleaned. Other than those 2, it was a truly wonderful experience for us. The staff are very friendly people and the "No Stress" motto of Cape Verde is reflected thoroughly at this resort. It's an amazing place with no stress at all. Special shoutout to the minders at the kids club...they are truly amazing people. Our kids are still raving about the day spent there. Kudos to the entire resort team. P.s. If you can, book the island tour with Jack Sparrow at the beach.

Positives... Excellent for families with kids all the way to 18years. Safe for kids. Kids have fun all day with the daily activities. Huge resort with about 8 big swimming pools full of activities all day long. The buffet is good, various choices of food but lack of beef meat on the buffet. Negatives... The room cleanliness is not good. I had to complain to get it to the standard I expect. Restaurants for dinner needs more staffing. We waited on average 1h:20m for the main course. Lastly, I know the island is prone to have flies/insects but the restaurants need to do more to keep flies and other insects/pets away. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and recommend to anyone with or without kids that wants to relax and enjoy. No Stress 😄

We got a 2 bedroom suite, with a living room, 2 bathrooms and kitchen. The suite was nice sized with the living area big enough for all of us. The grounds were well kept with nice pools throughout the resort. This is a huge resort. We had no problems getting beach chairs each day. We got their early and left late, I appreciate the resort letting us check-in and use the property when we got there and after we checked out. We didn't get our room early and we couldn't keep it late but we got to stay and enjoy the property and they had complementary changing rooms we used to shower before we left. Our biggest complaint was the food, there were lot's of options but the quality of the food often wasn't great, I was disappointed with most of the meals in most cases. We only stayed two nights because we spent time on some of the other islands in Cabo Verde, we would strongly recommend travel to the other islands as they don't have the mass tourism that Sal has.

Good swimming pools with a bar attached to each was nice. Food in the buffet restaurant was always decent and varied enough. However, the staff seemed to operate on conflicting "rules" and often presented contradictory information or half-information. For example, it was next to impossible to exchange pool towels for fresh ones from one day to the next (they offered us new ones finally on the day of our departure...); the two restaurants that required booking went half empty every night because the booking option ended every day at 4 p.m. but nobody had announced it to us on arrival -- when we finally found out about that rule, we were told everything was booked for the next two days. So, we had a good time with the weather and the water, and the bar service.

We had ordered a king size in the family size room. We get there and check in and pay. They take us to our room which wad nice. It took us a min but we where like this isnt a king and check our reservation from expedia and it said king in the family style room which was way in the back of the venu.So we went back to front deck and asked about the size confustion. They said oh it doesnt come with a king. Instead of them saying that. We had to fuss and fight with the supervisor for an hour or longer before he gave us the manager which we kept asking for. Finally got the manager after my husband chased him down outside and he fixed everthing that the supervisor should have done in first place. If they knew they were wrong. By not telling us the room didnt come with the king and if we woulndnt mind taking the queen size bed instead. We would have avoided all that time wasted.
