About this property

We have a luxury modern and spacious self catering apartment available for holiday rental called the Blue Lagoon which is located in the 5 star Tortuga Beach Resort & Spa in Cape Verde which opened in May 2011. Our apartment has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 2 leather sofas in the living room.
It is only approx 10 minutes drive from the airport in Sal. Tortuga Resort is in a quiet beach front location within easy walking distance of the town of Santa Maria which is the main tourist town on Sal. By night Santa Maria boasts a lively atmosphere with a good choice of bars and restaurants.
Our apartment is a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms has a fully equipped kitchen and it is situated on the top floor with a large balcony and partial sea views.
It differs from other apartments on the resort as it is a deluxe apartment with additional facilities and personal touches. For example while the other apartments are furnished identically we have decorated our apartment with unique and interesting artwork sourced by the owners from local artists. This helps to create a relaxing ambience and a feel for the local culture. We have also purchased a second leather sofa for the living room to ensure that there is ample comfortable seating. Normally there is just one sofa provided but we felt this was insufficient for our guests. The Blue Lagoon is also unique in that we have a large balcony. Additional touches include vanity mirrors with shelving in the bedrooms there are fly screens on every window and patio doors and we have a water filter tap in the kitchen providing you with safe drinking water.
There is a carefully prepared welcome folder which details important local information such as emergency numbers, local restaurants

Lovely apartment in a hotel complex in Sal's best area

We have just spent Christmas week in this spacious and well looked after apartment. It was three of us and there was plenty of space, including a nice balcony. The apartment is within the Melia Tortuga hotel, so we could access all the pools, bars and entertainment. The hotel restaurants are also accessible, although the quality is average and prices are a bit on the high side, so we preferred to either cook, or eat out, either at the local beach restaurant or in Santa Maria where there are many good options. All in all it was a great week and the apartment's owners were very helpful.

The property exactly matched the description: it was roomy, elegant and extremely well-furnished

We had a great time and really enjoyed our holiday. The flat was very comfortable and well-equipped. The African art deco was impressive. The terrace was a big bonus, as we were able to eat outside. It was an advantage being on the Tortuga complex, as we were able to use all the facilities of the hotel. The beach and ocean are amazing. We did a tour of the island which has spectacular scenery. There's a lot of info in the flat, left by Clyde, which we found very useful, regarding places to visit, eat etc. Clyde was very quick to reply to our mails, and the couple of minor problems we had in the flat (broken kettle!) were remedied promptly. If you want to eat in, the kitchen has everything you need. If you want to eat out, the hotel restaurants are good, but not cheap by CV standards. There's a great restaurant on the beach at Ponta Preta - fantastic fresh fish. If you phone they'll pick you up and return you to the hotel for free. It's walkable during the day, - just along the beach from the hotel - but not in the evening. The walk into Santa Maria is a bit of a trek (at least for people of our age): best to get a taxi for 3 euros. But it is worth visiting the town. I think what we'll remember most about the holiday were the people: everybody was so friendly, helpful, smiling and happy. It was great!

A lovely spacious apartment.

The apartment was lovely. Spacious living and dining area and 2 nice rooms.The complex was very pleasant too and the beach was beautiful.We would have liked morning sun on the balcony but you can't have everything ! We had some minor problems with the property which were very quickly sorted out by the owner.Santa Maria had some very nice restaurants which was fortunate as eating in the hotel is very very expensive.The evening entertainment was loud but it finished at 10 pm so that was perfectly fine.It's definiltely a beach holiday as there is not much else to do on Sal.Weather was very nice.

Well appointed apartment

Other than a poor spell of weather, which can't be blamed on the owners, we had just about an absolutely perfect holiday. People were really friendly and helpful and the location was spot-on. Although slightly further from the beach than I would have liked, the walk through the complex was very pleasant and often amusing. The apartment itself was excellent, with everything we could have needed. Lunches and breakfasts were easily prepared, but ease of travelling (taxis available from reception) and a wide variety of choice in Santa Maria meant eating out was never a chore. Although there were numerous smaller café/bars serving enjoyable local produce at very reasonable prices, fine dining was also available around the pier and beachfront. The only disappointment in all this was the lack of desserts, although on the bright side, it does help the figure. As mentioned by the owner, Ponta Preta is well worth a visit. A 20 minute walk along the beach, the view itself is worth the walk, this small restaurant, has a great atmosphere, a great view and a well-priced menu and the staff are friendly and attentive. If you go nowhere else, please visit Ponta Preta. All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, although as stated, the weather was pretty poor, cloudy and very windy and we would recommend this apartment as a great base.

Lovely spacious apartment in Cape Verde

This is my apartment to which I travel to on my own as the resort and island of sal are very safe. I eat out at the local restaurants in the town of Santa Maria which offer good quality food at reasonable prices. I enjoy the walk along the beach to the town and the weather has always been good. I love watching the sunset from the balcony ..This is a great place to relax and unwind as the island has a relaxing energy .

Why they chose this property

It differs from other apartments on the resort as it is a deluxe apartment with additional facilities and personal touches. For example while the other apartments are furnished identically we have decorated our apartment with unique and interesting artwork sourced by the owners from local artists. This helps to create a relaxing ambience and a feel for the local culture. We have also purchased a second leather sofa for the living room to ensure that there is ample seating for a group of up to 6 people. Normally there is just one sofa provided but we felt this was insufficient for our guests. The additional sofa converts to a comfortable double bed if required. The Blue Lagoon is also unique in that we have balcony seating for 6 people rather than the standard 4 seats. Additional touches include vanity mirrors with shelving in the bedrooms. The owners have also carefully prepared a welcome folder which details important local information such as emergency numbers, local restaurants and ideas for days out and excursions.
