Thomsons put us up for the night in this hotel as they said they had no choice at such short notice. We arrived 8pm ish very tired and hungry, we managed to find the food hall for a little supper and straight to bed only our room was infested with mosquitoes and cockroaches no toilet rolls and no towels.

Cape verde is a ex-colony of Portugal, the oficial language is portuguese but this dont realy work in this hotel, where everything is written in italian or french, no official languange and no english.
