Nice, spacious room with large bathroom and balcony. A bit old-fashioned (which added some charm) but fully comfortable. Excellent big breakfast, including a cachupa with egg - a welcome energy boost before a day of hiking! Location in the centre of Assomada which is not exactly a beatiful town but has a purely local feel and an excellent location for hiking in the interior of the Santiago island. Some hikes are accessible on foot, some by taking an aluguer (minibus) - and the aluguer station is just a few steps away from Asa Branca. Some previous guests complained about street noise but we had a room at the back and it was quiet.

Nestled along the coastline, with the backdrop of rugged cliffs and the serene expanse of the ocean, your hotel is a true gem. The idyllic setting is nothing short of paradise, and every moment spent there felt like a dream. One of the highlights of my stay was the ability to leap from the hotel directly into the crystal-clear waters of the sea. The thrill of jumping into the ocean from your beautiful property is an experience I will cherish forever. The way you have seamlessly integrated nature and luxury is truly commendable. However, what truly sets your hotel apart is the outstanding service and hospitality provided by your General Manager. Their dedication to ensuring the guests have an exceptional experience is evident in every aspect of the stay. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the General Manager for their exceptional leadership and for curating such a memorable stay for me.

Island Santiago is definitelly worth visiting. We spent few days in Sal but Santiago is so much different and authentic. Casa Strela is wonderful place to stay, it has a great vibe. Perfect and friendly staff will even make it more genuine for you. I would like to mention the delicious food, great choice of fish dishes and super cocktails dobe by Ariana and Jonathan. Will be defo back.

We spent 1 night here after our 2 weeks Cabo Verde trip before we flew back home and we just needed a comfortable, air-conditioned room to relax. This hotel is perfect for it: clean and big room, with comfortable bed and with a super-nice staff. We also liked the breakfast and the view from our room. Absolutely recommended

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman.

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman. Do NOT go out alone or at night. My housemate and I went to a beach that was 6-7 walking minutes away. It was absolutely lovely. We went at 6pm and left at 8pm. It was dark. Unfortunately 2 masked children (of about 12) tried to "jump" us with knives. I've been traveling for 30 years and robbed 7 times before (including this; that averages out to 1/4 years and I AM VERY WHITE, with blue eyes, blond hair and stand out in certain places, so I may be an "easy target". Still, I've never had knives drawn on me. So PLEASE be careful, especially if you are women. BE SMART. I wasn't. Thankfully all I walked away with was some PTSD and bad memories, but they had masks & REAL KNIVES and it could have been VERY BAD.

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days.

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days. Beach, good restaurants, you can do hikes on Monte Graciosa, and Tras os Montes. Restaurant 'chez mama' has some hiking maps. And good food too. I spent most of my time fishing. From the rocks at Punta Atum, of from a boat. One thing to keep in mind. Tarrafal in August is hot. You can go up to Serra Malagueta where it is cooler. But rainy in August.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings. The proximity with the airport (35 min.) makes it a potential nice destination. The city should promote more actively the destination in order to attract developers which could renew the houses we can see from the beach and which are falling apart. Hopefully in the future this can be done and attract more visitors and have additional hotels. The potential exists.

Visitors are immediately immersed into the daily activities...

Visitors are immediately immersed into the daily activities of the local people and their animals. One will hears 'tud fixe?' all the time and from all the people around you. With a smile and a thumbs-up. You need to reply "tud fixe!", smile back and show your thumb. And life is easy. No nonsense of the outside world. Best fruit: papaya. Best fish: lobo (?) or locally caught. Ask Zeza for octopus. You will get delicious catchupa sooner than later for your breakfast. Zeza is a most welcoming host you can ever imagine. The same applies to the rest of her family and friends who help at Dunas. Ricardo is most helpful when it comes to all the outside activities or needs. Ask for a tour around the island or fishing from the local boat. Enjoy the local beach. Black sand. No people. Probably because of covid. It was a tremendous stay for us. :-)

Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere...

Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere found on the other Cape Verde islands. The local population generally doesn’t speak English and often seems offended if you don’t speak to them in Portuguese. Tourists are frequently stared at, which can make you feel a bit out of place, and the overall impression is that visitors aren’t always welcome. We had a bad experience in Praínha, where persistent children came up asking for money, while older men seemed to be eyeing our bags left on the towels. We ended up having to leave immediately by taxi. Outside of the Plateau—the only area recommended for tourists and heavily patrolled by military and police—you don’t really feel safe.
