Flag Hotel Foya Branca

We Love to Stay in the Hotel. Fish evening, Rodizio, Buffet Cabo Verde , the music that is offered is very good. Overall, its a Potential 4 star hotels to improve , , however we were very happy with our stay at the Foya Branca and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. We believe it is the extraordinary service of the team that really make this a great place to stay. Also to the General Manager and Team very nice and efficient. We will return to this hotel.

We had a lovely relaxing stay. I have stayed here several times as it is guaranteed to be far from the typical package tour hotel experience I that I dislike. The rooms need some some maintenance but that did not detract from our stay. The grounds are very nice and so are the pools. The staff were exceptional and could not have gone out of their way further if we needed anything , in particular Dercio and his colleague, Antao and Hernany. The breakfast is good and so were evening meals when we ate. The hotel was not too full with amongst others some surfers from Europe staying that have surfed all over the world but come back to Foya Branca often as they prefer surfing here than the Caribbean, Europe and all other surf locations they have been too. I hope to visit the hotel again.

Flag Hotel Foya Branca is a good option when need to be next to the airport, as it is at about 1 or 2 km away, and the hotel offer a free shuttle to the guests. The room were OK, but not that great. The best part was the two swimming pools. as I was not very confident to swim on my own in the sea (big waves). The breakfast was good. A buffet with quite a few option to select.

Chose to stay to this hotel at the end of 2 weeks travelling around Sao Vincente and Santo Antao, despite the bad review. Shoes were stolen in front of our room, staff were very disinterested , more worryingly the manager as it took me 3 days to nail her down as she didn’t not think that clients being robbed was any of the hotel problem. Could have been outsider but could also be hotel staff. Leaves a very bitter taste. Door handle broken ( which meant no access to the balcony ) no one came to have a look ( let alone try to fix it ) despite asking twice about it. Gym advertised but not opened – despite asking about it after previous negative TripAdvisor comment ( equipment is supposedly about to be fixed, it is not ) No diving center despite the hotel advertising it. ( Dive tribe operates from Mindelo city center ) A ghost , insecure hotel ( despite being the only place with a security team we stayed in, the irony )

L emplacement est superbe, donnant sur la plage, eau cristalline. Sommes arrivés le 3 mars au soir, soir de carnaval et malgré une chambre réservée via booking au Lazareto, le gerant avait préféré louer la chambre directement pour eviter la commission de Booking! Et nous n etions pas les seuls ce jour la! Donc nous avons atteri à Froy Brancas. Le seul point negatif a été le buffet vide pour le petit déjeuner! Dommage car c est un mangifique endroit avec de belles chambres ...mais un peu vétuste qui ne demande qu à être repris en mains.

Idéalement situé à 10min en voiture de Mindelo, ville de musique et de fête nocturne, sur une plage de rêve près du village de pêcheur de Sao Pedro. Lieu de repos, snorkeling, balade au phare, coucher de soleil, deux belles piscines, service sympa.
