Overall Ratings & Reviews Murdeira Village Resort

Accommodation is very dated. Website photos do not reflect the hotel. Many of the properties on the resort are old and dilapidated. Wifi in room was the worst I have experienced in the last 10 years and we was lied to about this. For example you will have Wi-Fi on the sofa but less than three metres away you can’t use Wi-Fi in the bed to make a phone call. It was that bad. It was explained as a blackout across Cape Verde however good internet in bar area and other parts of Sal. Friendly and helpful staff especially Duke and the restaurant and bar staff. Free shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day was useful.

I had a really lovely stay here for 4 nights on a solo trip. Gorgeous location, really handy free shuttle into Santa Maria a couple of times a day and easy to book a (paid) transfer to and from the airport. Food is off a menu for breakfast and dinner (I opted for half board) good quality and large portions. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful.

The place is falling apart. Dirty cushions in the bar, broken bin lids, electric sockets loose in the wall. Unfriendly receptionist. It was fine for one night but no more

Following the Heathrow fire and closure, we were unable to get to the hotel as planned. We tried to contact the hotel to let them know but no answer on the phone or by email. When we asked for a refund it was refused

Absolutely terrible. SCAM hotel ! Arrived at the hotel after a 12 flight and hotel cancelled a non refundable booking on morning of arrival after taking payment 3 months earlier . Reception staff lying about rooms not being available. Left us homeless and stole our money . Worst hotel . Would not recommend to worst enemy

I booked a room here for 4 nights over the Christmas holidays back in September. It was reserved and paid for months in advance. They canceled my room four days before my trip. Thank goodness I booked through a 3rd party and they were able to help me find a place to stay last minute when everything was full.

Hard to review stay as I was suffering from after effects (but clear) of recent Novo contracted in UK as lost 8-9 lbs. So did not due what I expected to do & 1/2 way thru stay started to pick up. Room, staff breakfast very good. Had nice trip to Santa Maria they provide for free. Pool fine but used less than expected as not up to it. Snorkelled in small bay up from reception. Good first 2 days last day churned up so visibility issues. Very nice walks N & S of resort on or near beach which I could not exploit as much as wished. Nice meals in afternoon N of reception. Good Super Mercardo on site S of reception

The staff was BEYOND friendly, but my main grievance is that I had paid extra and arranged for an airport transfer both days before I arrived in CV and before I left CV and they did not comply with either. I paid 45EUR for 2 taxis, both a 7-minute drive from the airport. If I pay for a service, I wish it was available. Also, the wifi on the resort did not work at all the entirety of my stay; and being that the resort is away from the main city/area, it made it very desolate as my phone and none of my other devices had service due to faulty wifi from the resort. Otherwise, the food and drinks were amazing and very fairly priced, and the rooms themselves were nice. The amenities were very nice as well.

no restaurants nearby.The biggest problem: only three sun umbrellas by the pool!This really interferes with normal rest!

We had a great stay at Murdeira Village Resort. The staff was friendly and made sure we were happy at all times, even though there was a language barrier. The village was quiet and peaceful, exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back!

Dreadful. Tired, breakfast was terrible, beans and eggs cold. There was a rumour they did bacn but never saw it. Staff were rude, it felt like you werent welcome. We left the next day and spent extra to turn our holiday into something wed enjoy

Love the peaceful setting. Staff are lovely.

I absolutely love this place. It's so peaceful and unpretentious. The staff are really lovely and very helpful. The grounds are beautifully kept and the food is simple but good. A delight to stay here and although only 6 minutes from tne airport there is no noise.

Okay place, spacious rooms, nice staff

First room had mo remote for air conditioning nor TV. Checked a couple other rooms they had problems so took the 3rd room only to find that there’s ants in the bed and the 24 hour number they gave me doesn’t work on WhatsApp so there’s no way to contact the hotel as front desk has limited hours.

Want calm serenity? Amazing scenery and excellent food and one of the most kindly staff in the world? You must experience this place!

Booked at last minute after a flight problem but turned out to be excellent. I would stay again

It was a lovely time in Sal. My memory of the vacation would always be tainted by the poor service given by the hotel staff. On arrival at the hotel, they said i only paid for 1 room which i paid for 2 rooms in a single booking. This claim was absurd and i was very angry. I was kept out with my pregnant wife and sister till I reached out to hotels.com and they called the hotel to sort it out. Apparently the person handling the bookings in the hotel moved only one room when i requested my booking be moved due to flight cancellations.

The staff are so nice to me, and the hotel is perfect

It was a serene environment right on the beach, and it was not far from Santa Maria. Perfect for a quiet retreat.
