Nice place

It was amazing, my room was pretty big, shared bath room, but it was very clean. Great location, close to the beach. For the plateau you have to walk around 20 - 30mins. The street is very loud, but during the night there's not a lot of traffic. It was a very pleasant stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Syd's Guesthouse. Syd was very helpful with general advice and answering our questions. The food at Syd's is delicious and probably some of the best we had during our stay in Cape Verde. Angela and her colleague were both incredible, very friendly and cooked us amazing breakfasts every morning. We would really recommend a stay at Syd's Guesthouse!

Close to the beach with a nice patio. Syd was very nice and helpful. I found it a little difficult to check in because there is a locked gate out front that you can’t get through unless someone is there to let you in.

Maria

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
the apartment is located 10min away walk from the beach and in a perfect area - not too far from the main street and not too close to be disturbed by the traffic. The small garden in front of the apartment entry makes it even more convenient to just sit outside in the evening and enjoy a drink. Syd's also offer the option of breakfast and dinner to their restaurant/terrace which you walk through to get to the apartment. The food is tasty and price wise is also ok. I wish we would have had a schedule of when the restaurant is open as it seems it's not open every day. The apartment is clean and the fridge was filled with local beer and water.

Dommage

À notre arrivée nous n'avons eu aucune explication ce qui nous a valu d'être enfermé dehors à notre retour de balade. Le petit-déjeuner "complet gratuit" ne comprends en faite que un café ou un jus et vous avez un crédit de 700 donc des pancakes ou muesli ou omelette ou.... Chambre et salle de bains propre et spacieuse. Produit du petit déjeuner très bon
