Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We spent a week (around christmas) there and it was great. Almost worth a 5. But some small issues. We booked a partial sea-view room on top floor and we got one of the best rooms: the hotel consists of three wings and room 2094 was at the end of middle wing facing directly the ocean. It was big and modern and beautiful. There was just one thing: it was right at and above the main restaurant and the evening entertainment show. Which was loud...
But everything worked fine and food in all restaurants was good/very good. (in the main buffet restaurant later evenings they ran out of glasses etc temporarily) Really a lot to choose from. Themed nights were beautifully set. And they put a lot of effort in everything. The facility was well kept and there were allways staff cleaning places, and covid-measures were strict: entering the site (from beach or main entrance), passing by guards, they required mandatory wearing of masks, temp/fever measurement and use of hand sanitizer. Applied to everybody every time. Well organized and efficient, made us feel safe.
The beach was perfect. Beautiful, clean, allways free sun loungers available. Big waves but not too big.

The hotel has a perfect position directly on the beach with a small town in a walking distance (5-10 mins walk). Both sea and the beach are clean, the beach service works perfectly - there were always free sunshades and beachbeds available disregarding the time we came. Catering is quite extensive with thematic dinners in the main restaurant and three more a la carte or degustation restaurants. Bottled water available everywhere, two big bottles supplemented in the room everyday. We appreciated perfect cleanness in the entire hotel including the beach and wide selection of dishes served. Though mosquitos may appear from time to time in the rooms, we haven't spotted any during our stay in June-July.

I was in Salinas Sea 4 years ago and this is not the same hotel. I returned because once i was very well treated and we have the best beach in Cabo Verde. Now the service, food and quality are very poor and with lots of lacks. You pay for All Inclusive service but you dont have a simple sparkling water or genuine coke for free. The staff try to do the best but they are so few they cant handle all the work. ( João de Deus is only one the best employee). Another thing that disapointed me was the plastics straws. Today all hotels have straws in papers or other alternative to plastics. I saw lots of straws in the beach and sand. Cabo Verde is one of most important places for turtles in the Atlantic...plastic straws kill lots of turtles every year. Hope the hotel became good again!

We had to find a hotel on Sal at short notice as our flight to Santiago was cancelled (thank you Binter, but that should be the purpose of another review...). It looked more than OK on various websites. Well, unless you are really desperate and the next option is sleeping on the beach, don’t set foot on this hotel. You would not expect fine dining in an all inclusive, but it seems our reduced expectations were still too high. Food is truly atrocious. An overworked and visibly disgruntled staff is in operation. Breakfast is as bad an experience as the dinner. The rooms are spacious, but most lights were not working. Small piece of advice to management: if you organise very loud live music events (and why on earth get a band belting international hits when Cape Verde produces many great local bands), then think about double glazing the windows. It would help.

Hotel Oasis Atlantico Salinas Sea was a great choice for a week‘s holiday in Santa Maria. I liked practically everything in it. I stayed in a street view room, looking onto the main street and a small salt lake. Additional bonus was opportunity to watch birds around the lake, including a majestic pair of ospreys. The room was quiet (unusually so for many hotels, here there is excellent sound insulation between the rooms), spacious, with sleeping and rest areas divided. Bed spreads and towels are very new and clean. Safebox worked perfectly, was easy to use. There is a small refrigerator in the room where two 1,5 l bottles of water were supplemented every day. Food at the hotel requires special praise – it was very variable, of excellent quality, lots of vegetables and fruits.There was good portion of local hints and one special dinner of local foods with amazing variety of seafood. Vine was very decent, too. Pool area is not very large and may become crowded but I had never problem finding a sun bed. System of changing of beach towels is very convenient, too. Beach area is also great, beach and water are very clean, very pleasant white sand, though waves are on the high side some days. Location is perfect, very close to the town centre, souvenir shops, ATMs, restaurants, travel offices and others.

We stayed at this property late July with real tour. Beautiful hotel, modern, equipped with all amenities. Spacious room. Perfect cleaning. WiFi in the common areas, came to cover some areas of the beach, while the Wi-Fi in the room was perfect. European electrical outlets without the need for adapters. Two large bottles of water are provided in the room every day, while the bath water is safe because it is directly desalinate (we have always brushed our teeth with that water without any problem). Good and varied food. The real club team is wonderful, there are never intrusive and always available, twice a week you can do with them free tours of the city and the beach of the shells (go!). Beach towel always available, the only flaw of this place is that you have to go early in the morning to the beach to "occupy" the sunbeds and a place of shade because they are not enough for everyone and the coverage of the towels they use as umbrellas is not always optimal. We made two paid excursions one to see the turtles that lay eggs in the evening and the other around the island, also for the latter excellent value for money and are definitely to be done. Finally, we point out the skill of all the Cape Verdean staff who work in this structure always with a smile and very kind. Beautiful and unforgettable holiday. Highly recommended

Hotel location is really good. The beach is nearby and good for swimming and sunbathing. The island's strong winds don't harm on this beach. The city center with its services is a very short walk away.
We stayed there seven days. The rooms were clean and the cleaning worked well throughout the hotel. It was also nice to have some drinking water in the room.
The pool area was large enough. There were plenty of sun loungers for all the hotel residents and the towel change service worked well. There were many kind of professionally-guided activities, etc. water gymnastics, dance and zumba at the pool area.
In the evenings, the Animation -program group presented great program. The dance performances were great to watch and after that they taught the dances to the hotel guests as well. The hotel had its own beach club and guests were able to continue evening there.
If you do not want an all inclusive service, there are many restaurants nearby. All inclusive included a variety of theme days including Italian, Mexican and Cape Verdean theme nights.
If something could improve, breakfast could be a little more varied. There were lots of different products and they all tasted great, but in a week they were getting used to. A variety of bread products, cold cuts, fruits, juices, omelettes, cereals and desserts were available. The products were fresh and well presented. All guests found certainly a worthwhile enough to eat, but I guess I'm a little too selective and the same breakfast every day started a little get boring.
The service was so good that we felt we were the very special guests at the hotel. We talked to other guests and they told us they felt the same way. So the service worked very well.

Have been coming to Cape Verde for many years, usually staying at a Rui chain, thought would have a change, wish we hadn’t!! This is definitely not a 5 star hotel.
Positives: Its a lovely location and the beach is amazing.
Negatives: On arrival, no welcome drink Room nothing special, very basic bathroom, hand held shower or it floods the bathroom. No toiltries only shower gel No robes, slippers Towels thin and small.
First night unable to sleep due to mattress, all springs coming through.
Straight to reception in the morning to ask for mattress to be changed, no apology just I will get it changed.
While we were there, mentioned about being all inclusive and having to buy soft drinks package or drinks package, makes no sense, receptionist just shrugged her shoulders!!!
Majority of staff are not friendly or polite, there is no real leadership or management, no checking in for any meals only if you have been given vouchers in which you have to book the date at a separate desk.
The food is ok but nothing special, the cocktails are a joke.
When walking through the hotel there is no atmosphere, the place has no soul, no pictures on walls in corridors etc.
Definitely not worth the extra money we paid to stay here, compared to Rui which is a 5 star hotel accross the board.
At most a 3, will definitely not return or recommend.

Comfortable and spacious room with balcony. Air conditioning perhaps too efficient. the three main meals in the restaurant, buffet excellent for its variety and quality. Snack-style meals along the lines of the usual (unhealthy food such as chicken nuggets, burgers, plain pizza, chips with sauces), sometimes fruit. Passable "all-inclusive" cocktails (sometimes waiters or waitresses don't pay much attention to preparation. The gym is a cool place to train (the elliptical does not work as it should because it is not possible to schedule or record activity and perhaps it would be time to renew the equipment). Nice staff. Three theme restaurants with good menu. The animation section is rather precarious compared to hotels of the same category that I have visited: there is an Italian company that is dedicated only to Italian tourists and is independent of the hotel; and hotel entertainers who pay attention to Italian and Portuguese tourists. Until now I have always encountered animators who try to include people of all possible nationalities. The music in the pool and parties is monotonous because of the repetitive themes and styles until they get bored. In the criticism section I would include that I find it unreasonable to allow smoking on pool bar tables or sun loungers (even outdoors). Employees are very hardworking and one should be careful not to take the dish or drink before you finish it given the eagerness they show to have everything collected. They do so with complete kindness and are admirable given how low the wages are. The latter should be taken into account because the tourist pays European prices and everything that can be bought on the island is priced in euros.

This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
It is rated as 5 stars but does not reach 4... Poor facilities, only a pool that is small for the capacity of the hotel. The animation is aimed at the Italian or Portuguese client, the Spaniards don't even look at us The room is large and comfortable, the only thing is that if you are on the ground floor in the garden it will cost you to get 2 keys to the room. The only 5-star thing about the hotel, the Tradiçon restaurant, truly recommended, out of 10. The barbecue tasting menu at the beach restaurant is very poor and the only good option is to choose the tuna, because the meat is tough and of poor quality. The general buffet is not bad, complete and varied breakfast and good lunch/dinner. The best thing about the hotel, without a doubt, and that is why we chose it, is the location, in 5 minutes walking you reach the center of Santa MarÃa for a very pleasant walk next to the sea. It is worth it especially for this, so as not to be locked in and to be able to take advantage of the days without excursions. Friendly and efficient reception.
