Apartment in Melia Dunas 5*
Beautiful and very spacious apartment on a large resort. For us a good choice, use of the facilities of the resort but for the beach and good food to Santa Maria. Staff at the resort is very friendly. The back part (Tui) where the apartment is is fine, the rest of it does need renovation. Apartment is very clean, an extensive kitchen with everything you need and a nice bed. Communication was quick and smooth.

Happiness by the sea
We stayed at Richard's place for 3 days and were very satisfied. Everything is available. The beach nearby we had all to ourselves. We arranged our trip to the Salinas and sharks via Richard and made another unexpected stop to eat murene. Richard responded quickly to messages and was very nice. Murdeira is very quiet and a nice change to santa maria. Thanks for the farewell drink!

VILLA IN THE MAGICAL MURDERER'S BAY
We are very happy with our stay in Murdeira. Murdeira Bay is a quiet and warm place. It's very easy to get around the 4 corners of the island. This place has a great location, facing the pool and the sea. Benoit is a welcoming, available and responsive host. We hope to come back soon. We highly recommend

Surf House - Exclusive Getaway
Ralf was a lovely friendly person and Eric the taxi driver amazing 👏

Spacious & Sunny 1 Bed Apartment with 2 Balconies.
Thanks to Yvonne for hosting us at her place. Communication was perfect thanks to an on-site correspondent. The apartment matches the photos and the value for money is great! The residence is a little empty but at least it's quiet. 😊 Perfect for a quiet vacation near the sea! (Note: I recommend the massages at Vila Verde)

Ocean View - Front Line - 3 Bed/Bath Large Patio
The accommodation was a great fit for us. The villa is very well decorated and generously sized. Having a rental car was an advantage for us. Wayne and his deputy José are thoughtful and committed hosts.

Melia Tortuga Beach Villa
we've just come home from a fabulous family holiday at Agnes beautiful front line villa. We all felt very comfortable in the villa home from home. Kitchen is very well equipped and had a washer and dishwasher which was an added bonus, beds were very comfortable and it was lovely to have 6 sunbeds all to ourselves! It was very busy around the communal pool. Air conditioning was essential and worked well as did the wifi Agnes also provided fans and organised a taxi for us and we were able to have a late check out which was very much appreciated. Taxis are readily available at the hotel into Santa Maria. Two lovely bars are bar Marley and Bikini Beach fabulous food although was a little noisy on Saturday night. All in all a fabulous time was had on Sal lots of amazing experiences for our grandson Joey thank you Agnes for your hospitality.

PimontApartments - 3 Bedrooms
Great host and even better stay. Joao was very attentive and his place with two huge balconies and 3 big bedrooms was great. My guests were hesitant to stay in Espargos because Santa Maria is where is supposedly hip but I highly recommend Joao’s apartment in the heart of Esparagos. The local restaurants Joao recommended were also a great addition to our trip. Will definitely stay longer when I return to Sal.
