Ouril Mindelo

The hotel is not Amazing like the pictures, but it is clean and well located, I can say it is good. The rooms are like 3* hotels, very basic! The swimming pool is between the 3 building so is not sunny there and is not deep enough for swimming. During my 9 days there I just saw 2 people there for short swim. The breakfast was the same everyday and after 9 am the food was not replaced, so you will not find there fruit, bread and too many items. And also just 1 lift for 6 floors and about 25 bedrooms per floor and when the lift is going up it not stop , for example if the lift is going to 6 floor (breakfast ) and you are in 4 floor waiting to go up, the lift will not stop, its go straight up to 6 floor even if it is not full. Imagine it in busy hours ( breakfast time) The staff is the best part of the hotel, they are very polite and helpful.

This hotel is located at walking distance from the ferry to Santo Antao, If you need a bit of comfort and luxury, this is your place to stay. The hotel looks brand new, there is a chill out pool with bar on the roof terrace and another pool at the ground floor. But it is a hotel, you need to wear a bracelet and it felt like a resort to me. This accommodation is not really to be compared to the many guesthouses to be found in Mindelo. But if you look for something like a formal hotel, I can highly recommend the place. There was also a gym, a very nice breakfast in buffet style included, and I also received a free room upgrade upon arriving. The staff was formal but very friendly.

Nice view, nice pool specially the one on the 6th floor great location close to “laginha” beach, affordable price at least at time I was there and plenty of rooms, and the workers are friendly and kind ready to help you with just about any information.

Let me start by saying it has a great location at the Marina, with modern facilities. Everything is within walking distance. The ferry is across the street if you want to visit Santo Antao. If you want to go to Baia, Santo Pedro, or Cahau, you can rent a car for a day or take a taxi—there are many ways to get around. You feel safe here, and security is 24/7. Front desk: Very welcoming. Lauren was very professional and very helpful. Thank you, Lauren, for accommodating us. The room had a great view—Liz Melicilo was exceptional. She was very professional, friendly, courteous, and helpful. I can't forget the one who did my checkout—thank you! Rooms: The room was lovely, comfortable, and very clean. Its interior design is thoughtful, beautiful, and cozy. It was very spacious for us and had stunning views. Valina( from Spia) was pleasant and kept our room spotless. We had a problem with the air conditioner, but it was immediately fixed. Suggestion: A coffee maker/tea condiments in the room. Breakfast: A full continental breakfast buffet style (cachupa, scramble, fried, and boiled eggs, bread/toast, cereals, fruits, ham, cheese, yogurt, etc.).The team (Suzi, Leila, Raquel, and the one with the glasses) are friendly, pleasant, and professional. They kept everything clean and worked well together. Suzi makes an excellent coffee. Restaurant: The drinks were great, and the food was good. It offered a good menu and service with terrace seating. The waitresses are amiable (especially the one who accommodated my extended family with table sitting on my last night; I know your boss gave you a hard time (I noticed it), but you kept your head up and didn't let it bother you- Thank you for all you did. I know how hard you ladies worked. Suggestion: Extending the Bar hours, especially on Friday and Saturday. Pool: Stunning views.
