A lovely relaxing break

We loved our stay in this apartment, everything went smoothly and the hints, local tips and communication with Rebecca and Jay was friendly, fast, and accommodating, which made things so much easier and relaxing. The well appointed apartment is in a great position on the complex overlooking the pool, and everything is available to you locally or you can use the local taxis to take you into town (5 mins, 5)All in all a highly recommended place to stay. Thanks Rebecca and Jay from Peter and Vonny

Lovely apartment in Santa Maria

Great value apartment on the Melia Tortuga resort, which overlooks the main swimming pool. The apartment itself was very clean, spacious and simply decorated. The balcony is south facing, and catches the sun from noon onwards. The beach is just a couple of minute walk away, and there is a sheltered area to swim. The restaurants on the resort were pretty good, and you can pay as you go- but the main town of Santa Maria is only a short taxi ride away, where there is a really good selection of places to eat. The fresh fish is amazing.

Lovely place

The property is very good and has all that one needs for a comfortable stay. Some minor irritations but nothing serious. Be aware that there are 18 steps up to the apartment. The apartment overlooks the main pool and on occasions the music gets a bit loud. The resort is very nice but in places its looking a bit tired. The processes to manage an account for spending on the resort if self catering, need to be made easier. The staff are excellent and lovely people but burdened by this admin. The WiFi is not good and very unpredictable. Great beach and beach grill. Overall a lovely holiday and we would use again and recommend to friends and family who want sun, sand, sea and great restuarants in Santa Maria.

Winter sun

My wife and I travelled to the Melia Tortuga Beach resort on January 21st 2020, returning to the UK on 24th February. The complex consists of a substantial number of villas and apartments, all of which are situated close to the beach, which itself is magnificent. There are a number of excellent restaurants in the resort, where prices are reasonable if you are not in an all-inclusive basis. We chose a self-catering apartment which was excellently equipped. Our balcony overlooked a large communal swimming-pool where entertainment for both children and adults takes place throughout the day, so if you are elderly (70 plus) and are looking for a quiet vacation, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are younger, with children, the resort is first class, as was our accommodation. The coastal town of Santa Maria is some 3 kilometres from the Tortuga resort and a taxi fare from the hotel to the centre of the town is approximately 3 Euros. There are many first class restaurants which are not expensive. If you are self-catering there is a very adequate grocery store nearby. If you are looking for winter sun Tortuga Brach is well worth considering.

Great time at SAL

If you want to have a great time at SAL, we highly recommend this apartment at Tortuga Beach resort. The apartment is perfectly located at the resort with all the facilities you want. Communication with the owner (Rebecca) was really great and helpfull. We had a wonderfull time (2 adults and one chilf of 4). The apartment is located in the middle of the resort with a direct view on the swimming pool. It was our 4th time in SAL and our second time in Tortuga Beach Resort. The resort itself is great as well. We did not use the all-inclusive option at the resort. Instead we used taxis to the city center (5min drive) and had diner / lunch at the nice restaurants. There is also a small supermarkt in 5minutes walking distance which we used to get some basic groceries. Just perfect!

Lovely apartment over looking swimming pool

Me and my wife enjoyed our winter break in Rebecca's apartment. It was in a great location overlooking swimming pool and a 2 minute stroll through resort to lovely beach, which was pretty quiet in the last week of March. The apartment was comfortable and spacious with plenty of facilities. We didn't eat or drink on the all inclusive resort( although you do have that option ) but went into Santa Maria which is a cheap taxi ride or about a 30-40 minute walk, longer if you take the beach route. There are quite a few restaurants and bars in town with some playing live music which gave the town a nice little vibe. Meals were a challenge as I am Vegan and there isn't a lot of choice. Just make sure you explain the difference between vegan and vegetarian. Restaurant "By Valeria" did have some options and listened to requests. If you fancy a pizza anywhere just say no cheese, very nice vegetarian pizza ( no cheese ) at Palm Beach. Overall nice break and Rebecca always helpful and available with advice when needed. We would return.

The apartment was beautiful and set out lovely

The apartment has lots of home comforts and the bed was very comfortable. There were two bathrooms which was very handy. Rebecca gave information about places to go which was very good, the complex was lovely and you had the choice to go all inclusive or have breakfast lunch or dinner. We found this very expensive, all inclusive was €106 a day, breakfast was €22, lunch was €38 and dinner was €48. There are plenty of places to eat and drink. Lovely holiday

The weather is very very nice.

Spacious, apartment gets the sun from early am

My husband & I are from Republic of Ireland. We were very fortunate to pick this premium apartment in the Melia Tortuga 5 star Hotel complex. We rented out the apartment for 3 weeks over the Christmas festive season. The apartment has 2 spacious bedrooms. Beds are of a very high quality comfort. Bathrooms, all the cooking & washing facilities of a high standard. The apartment gets the sun from early morning until the sun sets. The main view is off the main pool. Very fortunate to be in a lovely 5 star complex with benefits of sunbeds at the pools & beach. We opened an account with the hotel upon arrival at Rebecca's advise, which worked out well. Rebecca e-mailed us a Hand out regarding everything from arriving at the airport to hotel / apartment. Recommendations re supermarkets, restaurants in Santa Maria & even suggested we could avail of "all Inclusive" which we did towards the end of the holiday. Great sun and only a 6 hour plane journey to a very relaxing Island, Sal.

Absolutely perfect

We had the most wonderful stay in Cape Verde. The apartment was perfect, better then we expected. It is very clean, spacious and very well equipped. It is suitated next to the best pool in the resort which meant we always got sunbeds! Thank you so much for making our holiday perfect x

Wonderful place to stay

The apartment is well place part way between reception and the beach and overlooking the pool. It has everything you want for a great self catering holiday and the bed was comfortable. Being on the first floor gave a great outlook and the balcony was equipped with table, chairs and lounger. We didn't do the AI that is offered at the hotel but took some foods with us and the rest we got a taxi to Cazu supermarket, they waited, and took us back. In the evening we either walked down the beach to a lovely place or took the taxi into Santa Maria where there is plenty of choice of bars, restaurants and cafe's. We will be back! Just to add Rebecca was great to deal with and gave us 'tons' of information which was really useful.

Dream vacation in a special country

The first two weeks of August we have rented the holiday apartment of Rebecca and husband. We really like to return in the future. This will say enough about the property and service Rebecca provides to us. Rebecca was very helpfull and delivered a superb service to us. Thanks for that!!! The apartment and resort are very good. The beautiful beaches are close to the resort. There is enough entertainment in the neighborhood. We suggest to rent a car for 2/3 days to see the highlights. Plan to see the caretta caretta turtles. Or sharkbay. Enough things to do. We give you the advice to buy your breakfast at the local supermarket and take a dinner at the beach. This solves a lot of money. We didn’t like the food and drinks from the resort. The price for all inclusive is very expensive, even if you only want the breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you want to eat quality fish we highly recommend Baracuda (st Maria beach) We highly recommend this place. Its worth the money and experience!!! Thanks Rebecca for all the things we now remember from this special country.

comfortable apartment with brilliant location

We spent a relaxing two weeks at this lovely apartment.it contained everything needed for a comfortable stay. Beaches and sea just wonderful although did struggle for sun beds during second week... not expected at a four star resort. We found a restraurant at villa verde (over the road) which served a full buffet breakfast for 7 euros... very handy if you don't want to eat in the resort. Meals too expensive within the resort but plenty of restaurants in town.we ate mostly at pointe preta which was fab. Would love to return sometime as weather and accommodation was perfect.

Lovely apartment in gorgeous resort

Brilliant apartment in a 5* complex. The apartment (and balcony) overlooks the pool and is only a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous white sandy beach! Rebecca was incredibly helpful before, during and after our stay! We had the intention of cooking meals during our stay but the supermarket in town was a little limited. So we ended up eating out a fair bit. We then decided to upgrade to all inclusive for the last day as a treat - worth it if you want to eat at the hotel. Would recommend: Angela's (on the beach in Santa Maria) - doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food and the fish is incredible - and so cheap! Odjo d'Agua - live music, lovely food and beautiful views over the ocean. AlwaysSailing - day sailing trips - absolutely wonderful experience - amazing! Overall lovely apartment, lovely island!

Well appointed apartment on super resort

This is a lovely apartment which is well fitted out. The south facing balcony overlooking one of the pools in the resort is ideal for sun worshippers in the afternoon. The resort has many facilities with several pools , restaurants and bars. A short taxi ride took us into Santa Maria with its abundance of restaurants and bars all of which we enjoyed. The information provided for the apartment was invaluable. It was extremely comprehensive and offered many suggestions on where to go and what to see. If you wish to have a completely relaxing holiday in the sun then we would recommend you give this apartment a go.

Relaxing Beach/Pool Holiday.

The apartment was great, very clean and tidy. Had all the cooking equipment needed which was good as we were self catering. Great location as near the pool & pool bar. Rebecca had given us a list of restaurants to try which was very helpful and we tried most of them. Right by the beach which was beautiful and clean, lovely turquoise water. Bikini beach was a nice luxurious way to spend the day. Short taxi drive to Santa Maria. Communication from the owner was great before, during and after.

Fantastic holiday, great apartment

We had a fantastic holiday which began with very helpful contact with the owners who were able to answer all our questions ahead of our holiday....and whose recommendations on things to do and local restaurants were great. The apartment was very clean, and had everything we needed. We were looking for an independent holiday so did not use the hotel restaurants or pool but it is a clean complex and staff were helpful. We did use the hotel bus to Santa Maria occasionally but local taxis were also convenient and only €3. We loved Ponta Preta beach, a 10 minute walk away...turquoise ocean, big waves, beach bar/restaurant and wonderful sunsets. Santa Maria beach is lovely too and a highlight was buying fresh tuna from the pier and coming it ourselves in the apartment. A day trip around the island was good especially paddling with lemon sharks and Kite Beach has a cool vibe. All in all a great adventure.

Melia Tortuga Resort

Lovely apartment, clean and perfect for our stay. We really enjoyed the situation, The kitchen was well stocked and prepared for cooking. When we arrived we could not get the key to work and Shirley came almost immediately and let us in. Rebecca was fantastic with great communication and wonderful email detailing the facilities and best places to eat etc. The only downside was the continuous music from the hotel swimming pool; this started at 9am and continued until midnight every day. We got used to it after a while. Overall a lovely pleasent stay and perfect for our needs. Many thanks Rebecca for helping us have an excellent holiday.

A Splendid Holiday!

My wife and I stayed here from mid November 2017 for 3 weeks. The apartment was everything Jay and Rebecca said it was so no complaints there! We ate out most nights and guides given to us before departure were most helpful-Leonardo's was our favourite but all were pretty good and not expensive. We did not eat in the hotel-too expensive we thought. Taxis were always available outside the hotel, 3 euros or 300 escudos by dat and 4 at night. Weather great but if you want to swim in the sea it's a short/medium walk in either direction. Food/booze is readily available either in the shops across the road or in Santa Maria. The bar pool could get a bit loud (aqua gym/fashion shows) and we mostly sunbathed in the quieter pool. All in all we had a great time so thanks Rebecca and Jay!!

Fantastic apartment on great complec

Fantastic apartment on an all inclusive 5 star complex. Great location overlooking the pool and just a 5 min walk from the fantastic beach. Plenty of sunbeds on the beach which were free of charge. Plenty of sunbeds by The pool but as with most all inclusive resorts had towels on them before 7.30am! The apartment had everything you could wish for, very clean and was in a prime location. Rebecca was a great host and provided us with lots of information about Sal and the complex. She recommended us some great restaurants in Santa Maria - a 5 min taxi ride from the complex at reasonable prices. Taxis were readily available at the hotel and the airport and were very cheap. Highly recommended
