Lovely looking hotel right in the centre of the city however the hotel is not fully ready ie there were no cushions for the sun loungers to use by the pool, some areas still under construction and breakfast is not the best. For the high price paid, it is not worth it at this point in time. It will be once everything is set up.

Sejour Mansa Marina

Laccueil et la restauration sont parfaits. Le seul bémol est la propreté à la piscine, les matelas sont inutilisables , les sols de la salle de bain sont a refaire sinon.les equipes sont accueillantes, le restaurant c est le top ainsi que l'emplacement ideale car au centre de tout. Les lits dans la chambre sont tres confortables

Bel hôtel, on ne peut plus central dans Mindelo, constitué de bungalows adossés les uns aux autres dans un bel environnement. Certains ont leur terrasse arborée indépendante. Vue sur la marina et les montagnes de Sao Antao. Grand piscine (mais eau fraîche en cette saison) Excellent restaurant, aux plats locaux revisités, à des prix corrects au bord de celle ci. Personnel d’accueil affable et efficace. Cet hôtel-restaurant mérite une belle note.

Peut mieux faire pour le prix

Cadre agréable avec la marina autour, l'hotel est constitué d'un ensemble de bungalows dont la qualité peut varier de l'un à l'autre. Pas de porte pour la salle de bain. Chambre confortable et propre mais peinture défraîchie. Petit déj correct mais sans plus (pas beaucoup de produits frais). Transats vétustes à changer urgemment. Petite piscine à l'eau fraîche à disposition. Esplanade en béton. Endroit très exposé au vent donc pas des plus agréables.

Great stay at Mansa Marina

A fantastic stay in a very central part of Mindelo, with great views over the harbour and with a brillant swimming pool. Great restaurant, with one of the best evening views in the town, and good service. Check in was efficient and quick, and breakfast was great, with view of jumping fish in the harbour next to the breakfast terrace... we booked the superiour room with own separate terrace, which was great for secluded evening drinks and relaxation. Highly recommanded
