We loved our relaxing stay in Rebecca and Jay's accommodation, it has everything you need and as hosts they are fantastic. The location for us was perfect, located right on the beach and close enough to walk to Santa Maria or a short taxi ride. Highly recommend! ccomfortable
From the beginning to the end and amazing support. They help us in a lot of things, in particular with a flexible checkout for our night flight. A really nice experience!
Had an amazing relaxed stay. Property was big, sunny big terrace. Beds were super comfy, I suffer with back pain but the mattresses were one of the best I’ve slept on. Rebecca and jay were amazing responded straight away to any queries. Apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommend and would stay again in a heart beat.
From the check-in until the check-out the communication and care shown were incredibly good. The host is great and ensures you have the best experience. I’ve stayed in other similar places and this is by far the house with most utilities and conditions I’ve experienced. What a great time!
The apartment is large, comfortable very well equiped, has everything you need for a self catering holiday in a lovely resort and area in Sal. The bed is comfortable. Aircon was a life saver. Kitchen has everything, even an airfryer.
Thank you Vibeke for your kind words and we were delighted to hear what a lovely time you had in sunny Cape Verde and staying in our apartment .. you were the perfect guests. we really look forward to hosting you again !!
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
The apartment was very well appointed and comfortable with a great location within the complex with easy access to supermarkets etc when required
Rebecca and Jay were great hosts. Very responsive to any small issues which arose.
Overall would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a stress free break in Cape Verde

Thank you Andy for your kind words and we were delighted to hear what a lovely time you had in sunny Cape Verde and staying in our apartment .. we really look forward to hosting you again .
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.
The information provided by Rebecca was comprehensive, including numerous restaurants in Santa Maria and available amenities on the resort. The location was superb especially if you enjoy walking. There were several different routes into Santa Maria varying from 2 to 4 miles. The apartment was well appointed on the resort,the kitchen was well equiped and the rooms were spacious. A large well equiped terrace was blessed by the late afternoon, early evening sun. A lovely 3 week escape to the sun.

Appartment was even better then advertises. Fully equiped kitchen with a small and a big fridge (with many pans, coffee cubs and more then 20 plates and 12 wineglasses for example).
Supermarked in Villa Verde was less then a 5 minute walk.
Also you could have diner in any restaurant after making a reservation. No need to setup an account. Just pay with debit card. Restaurant are not expensive (12€ for a steak).

Very nice apartment with all creature comforts available. Notably, the kitchen is truly equipped so that self-catering is a real possibility, a rather rare element in short-term rentals. The owners are super-reactive, both before and during the stay, responding within minutes to all queries. We'd return without any hesitation. The Melia resort where the flat is located provides a good baseload of entertainment and has a prime location on the beach; the pools, paths, common areas, equipments, and various built-up elements however begin to show their age and will require a caring hand to get back to their claimed 5-star status, where they no longer are.
The first thing you see on entering the apartment is the view, and it's the last thing you look at before leaving. The apartment is equipped with everything including all the kitchen appliances we used to cook most days. The staff at Meliá are brilliant and friendly and the resort has everything you could want whether the swimming pool, direct access to the beach or the many entertaining diversions. The main town of Santa Maria is vibrant and only 5 by taxi. The Cape Verdean people are the treasure of the islands and we went outside the resort many times to enjoy the feel of the country. We stayed twice for 12 days and 5 days and it became like our home. You will probably feel the same after your stay.
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.

Thank you Jamie for your kind words & feedback and we were delighted to hear what a lovely time you had in sunny Cape Verde and staying in our apartment .. . we really look forward to hosting you again if you ever wish return to sunny Sal !
Katastrophe, niemals wieder! Disaster, never again!
Das grenzt an Betrug und arglistige Täuschung! Schon direkt nach der Buchung im April 2022, hat uns der Vermieter als auch FeWo verschwiegen, dass das Tortuga Resort schon seit fast 3 Jahren geschlossen ist! Wir haben den Vermieter mehrfach angeschrieben, und keinerlei Antwort erhalten, als wir mehrfach mit FeWo Kundenservice telefoniert haben, und Sie informiert haben dass der Vermieter uns nicht antwortet, hat man uns gebeten geduldig zu sein, denn bis Dezember ist ja noch Zeit! Die Anzahlung haben wir sofort geleistet, und die Aufforderung zur Restzahlung kam eine Woche vor dem Termin!, aber immer noch keine Information vom Vermieter!
FeWo versicherte uns dass wir vor Ort unser gebuchtes Apartment bekommen, ansonsten gibt es einen sicheren Ersatz! erst 12 Std. vor unserem Flug, als ich dem Vermieter geschrieben habe dass wir Morgen früh nach Sal fliegen, habe ich eine Email mit 30 Seiten Informationen erhalten! In den Infos steht, diese Infos erhalten die Gäste 14 Tage vor der Anreise?!? Aber das schlimmste kam dann vor Ort, in unserem angeblichen Luxusapartment! Das gesamte Apartment und die Terrasse total verschmutzt, da hat seit Wochen niemand mehr gereinigt! Die Matratze im Doppelbett total versaut und voller Flecken (Fotobeweise), in beiden Bädern läuft am Waschbecken das Wasser nur als Rinnsal, und in einem Waschbecken läuft kein warmes Wasser! Von der Decke im Bad tropft heißes Wasser, und Tage später bricht die Decke ein weil der Boiler geplatzt ist, und das ganze Bad überschwemmt hat, ich habe stundenlang mit allen Handtüchern versucht die Überschwemmung des Apartments zu verhindern, bis endlich ein Handwerker kam um das Wasser abzustellen! Danach wurde der Boiler wenigstens ausgetauscht, aber das warme Wasser im Waschbecken lief immer noch nicht! Der Herd/Backofen hat nach dem einschalten immer die Sicherung rausgeworfen, nach 8 Tagen ist auch der endlich ausgetauscht worden! Es gab während unserer gesamten Urlaubsdauer (18 Tage!) kein TV/Radio Empfang, nur sporadisch Internet/WLan Empfang. Auf allen 4 Stühle auf der Terrasse waren die Sitzflächen zerrissen, die Couch im Wohnzimmer hat keine Polsterung mehr, wenn man sich setzen will sitzt man fast auf dem Boden.Die angeblichen neuen Fliegengitter waren zerrissen (Moskitoalarm!) Es gibt in dem Selbstversorger Apartment keine größeren Töpfe zum Kochen?!? (nur ein paar kleine Töpfe und Pfannen!) und nur einen wirklich kleinen Kühlschrank!!! wie sollen denn hier 4 Personen klarkommen?!?
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.
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!
Schon die Fahrt mit dem Taxi vom Flughafen zum Resort ist ein Erlebniss. Wir haben uns gleich mit dem Taxifahrer verstanden und er erzählte uns bei der Fahrt schon viel über Santa Maria. Das Appartment war sehr schön das einzige ist das es nah am Pool liegt und morgens die Poolboys ( 6.30 Uhr ) das ganze bei lauter Musik sauber machen und diese Musik den ganzen Tag bleibt bis in die Abendstunden. Matratzen sind nicht durch gelegen sondern OK. Schön ist das Fliegengitter so das man die Fenster auch Nachts offen lassen kann. In Santa Maria gibt es einen kleinen Einkaufsmarkt wo wir das nötigste eingekauft haben da wir uns selber versorgt haben. Man konnte zwar auch im Hotel essen was uns aber zu teuer erschien und wir lieber bei den einheimischen gegessen haben. Von Tui haben wir eine Tagesreise mitgemacht bei der Mittagessen dabei war. Es war sehr informativ gemacht und das Essen war Toll. Vorspeise Hauptgericht Nachspeise und 1 Getränk. Würden wir jedem empfehlen das mitzumachen. Abend sind wir auf dem ein Steinweg der am Meer die Hotels verbindet gerne noch entlang gelaufen. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett und wenn man sich mit Ihnen unterhält freuen sie sich auch mal etwas über andere Länder zu hören. Das Taxi vom Resort nach Maria kostet 3 Euro . Wir hatten zwar Geld umgetauscht braucht man aber nicht kann mit €uro bezahlen. Alles in einem ein Toller Urlaub !!!!°
Viele Grüße an Rebecca und jay
This accomodation offers everything one needs on holiday, it's beautifully situated, overviewing the pool, on a 2 min walking distance from the beach, and extensively and tastefully equipped, we can definitely recommend this one. Because it is situated in a high quality resort, you could also use the resort's facilities if you like. The owners, Rebecca and Jay will provide you with any information you need , as well as with tips on what to see, where to go and where best to eat. If you want a relaxing vacation, this apartment provides excellent accomodation!

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.

Sehr schön !
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in der schönen Wohnung mit tollem Balkon . Der Pool ist direkt vor der Tür und wenn man ein großes Hotelresort mag , ist man am perfekten Platz !
Der Service war exzellent und alles ist genau wie beschrieben . Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt . St Maria ist ein süßer Ort mit tollen Restaurants zum frühstücken und Abendessen ( falls man keine Lust auf Hotelküche hat ) . Einzig die relativ laute Musik vom Pool und dem anliegenden Hotels hat uns manchmal gestört . Vielen Dank an Rebecca .... es war wunderbar !
