Just returned from a weeks holiday at the Crioula hotel. The rooms were OK, clean, what was extremely disappointing was the restaurant service, the food itself and the staff. The latter never smiled, never said "hello" and as they hardly speak any English were not of much help. The restaurant service was simply appalling - if you were not among... More

We just came back from a great holiday at the Crioula Hotel. Good value for money, great beach with sun loungers and canopies against the shade directly joined to the hotel. The food was good and there was plenty to choose from. Some dishes and salads tended to come back, but when you eat in a hotel both lunch and... More

This is more like a 4 star hotel and as my partner and I are both airline crew we have been in a lot of hotels in our time. The rooms are basic but clean and with everything that you need. The staff are friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. We did a 4... More

good hotel, good kitchen, very quiet. Maybe too much quiet. Appreciable for the diving (500 m far) and fot the kite surf. More

I returned from Sal yesterday. The hotel is near to the beach front. There are sun beds but there is no bar at the beach. There is a large sea water pool area with plentry of sun beds with sun covers. The drinks are provided in small childrens party style cups, the coffee is provided in a proper cup and... More

The hotel caters mainly for Italian guests with some Brits and Germans, but that is not really a problem. The beach is not really suitable for young children as the waves are quite strong and there is also... More

On first impressions the complex looked good but the whole place needed some touching up and repairing. Cracked and loose tiles around the pool area, toilets not working - that sort of thing. The standard of food we found quite high and there was always something to suit most tastes but vegetarians were not very well catered for. Unfortunately many... More

the wind never stops blowing on sal. great for wind surfers. the place is safe and very quiet the island is barren and very little to see. but if you just want the sun and peace and quiet its got lots of that. the hotel food is quite good but best to eat early as best food soon goes and... More

Nice hotel, nice place but there are things you should know to help you when you are there. Firstly the all-inclusive package. You do not get bottled water, this will cost you 3 euros at the hotel. Water is available at both bars and in the restaurant in small cups and is purified and fine to drink. You cannot take... More
