Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Being located on the corner of seafront we decided to go in and get seats to watch the sunset, have a couple of drinks, maybe a snack too. We were seated by staff, my partner wanting a large beer and I don’t drink alcohol due...to medication I’m on. I asked for a soft drink to be told “NO” not in these seats, I explained I don’t drink, he said what do you want, have a cocktail, all alcoholic. We got into bartering for soft drink, I was gobsmacked. He then said he’d go and ask the boss, we then stood up and walked out to see the waiter coming back from bar with a large beer and soft drink. I understand businesses need to make money, I wasn’t asked if I was ordering from the food on the cocktail menu, just fact I wasn’t swilling alcohol down my neck I couldn’t have a seat. I would have spent more getting tapas dishes I wanted. Just bad attitude from waiter, there’s just not need, there was plenty of seats available. Take your business to bar Aquarius, Soul kitchen, or the neighbouring restuarant does great food. Full experience just ruined our last night in Cape Verde.More

Hi Elaine, we are very sorry for the attitude of our waiter. We will certainly investigate to find out more and will give him indications on his behavior. Thanks for the tip. What he should have said - evidently with more kindness - is that...More

Very nice beachfront restaurant, with friendly attentive staff, and not too overbearing. Nice mix of dishes (QR) code menu on your phone. Lots of Italian dishes for a predominantly fish restaurant. Not cheap, but great quality and well worth the price. We had carpaccio of...tuna in orange and pink peppercorns, the local catch of the day and seared tuna in a balsamic glaze. With a beer and a couple of sprites, it came to $5500 (CVE) approx £42. I'm sure we will be back again.More

Idelilic location, we chose just for a couple of drinks but after seeing the food being served we stayed for lunch. Service was a bit slow but this was our first day on the island so maybe it’s all part of the ‘No stress’ vibe....Had WiFi and would recommend a visit.More

This restaurant/bar has the worst attitude and rules I’ve ever come across. Sat in the over 18’s front lounge bar for a cocktail - €17 for 2, which is expensive for Sal - even on the beach. Low season and the only ones sat there...for a good half hour. We were refused a second drink when we requested sparkling water! No wi-fi- only access the menu. The food is average. The attitude of the owner doesn’t fit with the island at all. Rules in a beach bar in Cape Verde ??!!! I’ve been visiting this place for over 12 years and each year it declines. Never again will I spend my money with this arrogant Italian owner.More

We used to visit this place during the previous trip, it was quite tasty! So this time we returned as well - but something bad has occurred to Palm beach: the fish (“of the day, freshly caught”) was hardly eatable, saying nothing about being “fresh”.....the cucumbers seemed to be chewed by someone else before being served to me, the baked potatoes were just unfrozen and tasted like an old shoe, smelled quite the same… the pasta was overcooked. I know it is not high tourist season, but yet not the “trash tourists’” one! I’m giving these 2 starts only remembering the last year visit, as the current one I would rate with minus stars.. worst dinner in the last 5-10 years.More

Went for dinner at about 7pm, after we had walked past it on a previous night. It's all outside but does have canopy's etc. If it's windy, you will feel it, but we were ok. The staff were polite and nice and the food and...wine was excellent. They also had someone playing nice background music on a keyboard (not too loud, just right). We tried to reserve a table in advance, but we were told that there was no need. Obviously, this may change as it gets busier in June, July etc. Taxis are nearly always parked outside. They also have WiFi.More

Highly disappointing place. As a non drinker I wasn’t allowed anything. I kid you not! I had to sit and watch my friend enjoy her drink as they refused to serve me anything without alcohol. They even asked why I don’t drink!! I had one...virgin mojito for the same price as one with alcohol in it, but after that it was full stop. “No coke, no coffee, not even water” is what they said. It’s down right ridiculous!! We were meeting up with more friends but had to go somewhere else because of this. There were free tables, no one waiting so it’s not like they had plenty customers either. It’s a future boycott from us. Sad, it was a great location. Religious and lifestyle discriminating place. Not for pregnant women or people driving.More

Great ambience. Right on the beach, perfect vacation restaurant. We really enjoyed the pizzas and the tuna tataki was great. Good sized portions! Drinks not super but nice enough. Can recommend this place for a good evening out and a lot of choice on the...menu. Only minus was that the live music (with a great musician) was played on a too high volume.More
