Foya Branca located about 5 minutes away from the airport in Sao Vicente on the San Pedro beach. The location is very nice all rooms face the ocean. The price is way too high for rooms in desperate need for a good cleaning and paint job. The biggest problem here is that it is located about 15 minutes driving from... More

we stayed 9 nights in this hotel in february 2013. i wanted to give this hotel a rate between average and good, but tripadvisor does not give that option. "average" would not be fair. "very good" is overrated, but more correct than "average" rooms are clean, bed is excellent, breakfast acceptable, bar soso but this hotel is lacking a lot... More

We stayed at Foya Branca at the beginning and ending of our trip. Positive points: - Nice and clean room, clean and really soft sheets, good bed - Hotel is right at the beach. The view and sound of the breaking waves is impressive - There is a nice hike along the cliffs, which starts close to the hotel. Takes... More

Nice location and not too bad given cape Verde standards. But hotel has been given over to some down market club med type of holiday company. So although these guests may be in the minority they dominate all areas with their "forced fun" . So a pleasant beach and pool is just disco noise for a few.. As to the... More

The hotel has a fantastic location on a fabulous beach. As in much of Cape Verde swimming is not always possible due to waves and currents. The hotel seemed at times to have more animators than guests and often seemed to offer not much more than poolside noise. We only ate there once at lunchtime and food was disappointing. If... More

Very good food (apart from breakfast which was rather limited in the hot food choice) - both lunch and dinner and it turned out to be better value than in the hotels we stayed in on other islands. The staff didn't speak much English but were consistently helpful and friendly and seemed well-motivated. Happy hour in the bar (1800 to... More

A great location sadly let down by this mismanaged hotel. With just a few improvements it would be fine but given the managers style of making himself unavailable to his guests and burdening the staff with time intensive admin I can only see it declining.

We started our Cabo Verde holidays at the Foya Branca after the new direct flight from Europe to Sao Vicente. The airport is very near the hotel, but the taxi fare is the same if you travel into city or to the beach of Sao Pedro, where the hotel is. The hotel was nice and clean. The front office staff...

We were there in low season, so this resort hotel with a number of pools and facilities for families and children looked rather empty. Our spacious suite had sea view, but showed signs of not having been slept in for some time. The long sandy beach was a pleasure to walk on, and the town of Sao Pedro on the... More
