“Appalling but at least it makes for a good story”
+We have to wonder if all the positive reviewers stayed in a different place, because our experience - and that of another couple we spoke to next morning - was so bad. We had booked a top floor room with a terrace for four nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday. On arrival, we were told the room was not available due to renovations, and we were getting a second floor room with a balcony. Why didn’t the hotel tell about us this before? The receptionist just shrugged in a ‘How should I know?’ way. Okay, we could deal with this. Until we got to the room. It was so tiny, the bed took up almost all of it. We had to squeeze through the narrow space between the bed and the wardrobe to get to the balcony. Which wasn’t a balcony. It was like a miniscule room with a small table and two chairs, and windows with dirty panes that slid open to the view of an empty lot filled with rubble. Vista Mar? More like Vista Rubble. Four nights couped up here was far from appealing, or celebratory. I checked with another hotel close by, and by a stroke of luck they had a free room the next day for three nights. So we changed our booking to one night. Okay, we could deal with one night in this place.
−The bed was a good size but there were no blankets and it looked like someone had walked across them - maybe someone who couldn’t fit through the space between the end of the bed and the wardrobe? There were no blankets provided, but we managed to rustle up a couple from the receptionist, who by this time was glaring at us every time we appeared in her line of sight. The bathroom was - in comparison to the room - surprisingly large and well appointed. Great, except for the fact that the bathroom door was massively warped and wouldn’t close. Well, we could deal with until, once we were in bed, the electricity started going on and off at intervals of five or 10 minutes. The motion sensor light in the bathroom came on automatically every time, shone through the semi open door and woke us up again and again. Finally the electricity stayed off so that we could fall asleep, which was great except that the air-conditioning stopped working and we woke up in a pool of sweat. We opened the windows to get some fresh air. This worked and we were able to fall asleep again, which was great, but not long after we’re awakened by mosquitoes who had come in through the open windows and were now happ

“Blue Sky Hotel”
+Wij hebben niet in Vista Mar geslapen vanwege technische problemen. Wij werden geplaatst in het Blue Sky Hotel, wat iets verderop ligt wat verder van het strand. Dit hotel was luxe en het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid. De bedden en de douche waren zeer goed.
−Dat we niet direct aan het strand lagen

“un séjour très agréable”
+nous n'avons pas séjourné à Vista Mar mais à Sky Blue qui appartient au même propriétaire mais qui est plus récent.Suite à des travaux dans notre chambre à Vista Mar ,on nous a proposé une chambre à l'hotel Sky Blue .Nous n'avons pas regretté ,bien au contraire .Nous n'étions pas trop loin de la plage.La chambre était très spacieuse et nettoyée tous les jours.Le personnel à l'accueil était charmant,à l'écoute,serviable.Si je dois revenir à Tarrafal,je choisirai cet hotel
