My boyfriend and I went to Cape Verde just before new year for 10days, we weren't just spending new year there but also my boyfriends birthday. Flight was 5 and a half hours and then the transfer from the airport to the Sabura hotel was only about 30 minutes if that (we were the last ones off of the coach). Once arriving at the sabura we were greeted with a welcome drink and then the lady from reception took us to our room. The room was very spacious and very clean. Lovely room. Bathroom had his and hers sinks which was lovely. Bed comfortable. The air conditioning was free and the safe in the wardrobe was free. Brilliant! The pool area was nice and clean. Nice sun loungers and little tables. The water was very very cold but that wouldn't be helped. Breakfast not quite sure what time it started but it finished at 10am. Breakfast was a buffet and there was cereals, cakes, croissants, bread, ham, cheese, yoghurts, fruit and toast to choose from. On the hot plate you could choose from; sausages, beans, omelettes and crepes which they would cook infront of you. Toaster didn't work very well but that's the only little fault that there was. Lunch was 12:30-2 and dinner was 7-9 (not 100% when it finished). For both lunch and dinner there was a choice from three different starters, three different mains and three different desserts. Everyday was a different lunch and dinner menu. At lunch there was a snack menu with things like burgers, sandwiches and pizza to choose from if you didn't fancy anything on the menu. We thought the food was lovely and over the 10 days we only went from the snack menu a few times. There was quite a few different drinks to choose from; wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks! The strawberry juice is amazing! It would have been nice to have a few cocktails to choose from, when I asked for a cocktail it wasn't too great (lots and lots of tequila in it). Everything you have a drink or a meal you had to sign a ticket, I think so they can keep up on who's having what! New Year's Eve started off with welcome drinks made from watermelon and alcohol and obviously was a non alcoholic option! Food started buffet for the starter and there was fish, meat and vegetarian choices. The main, well we had 2 mains; tuna and pork. It was ok, not really our sort of thing but it was nice all the same. Then dessert was a buffet too, all different types of cakes. Loved the desserts! Also, gave every table a bottle of sparkling wine. Staff were all so lovely, their English wasn't the best but that's fine cos they always had a smile on their faces. Housekeeping were lovely, we would have a spotless room and fresh bottle of water in the fridge everyday. The hotel is about 15minutes walk to Santa Maria centre, but there's not much there. Few bars/restaurants, souvenir shops and the main busy beach! We didn't eat or drink in the bars/restaurants. Just be careful with the souvenir shops as they may try to rip you off with money, as one did with us. Make sure if you take euros that you get euros back in change, if not then you know how much the escudos is worth in euros! The beach is literally about 5-7 minute walk to the quieter side but just as beautiful! The only negative was that the Thomson rep didn't come to find us and we got given a welcome pack from the hotel 2 days before we left. The reception staff could have put the welcome pack under our door or come find us. Could have looked into doing some excursions, but never mind!

“Super Sabura Hotel”

I went with a friend in early December and had a great holiday. Loved the quietness of the hotel, friendliness of staff, spotless room and home cooking. Would highly recommend if someone is looking for a quiet hotel. 5 mins walk to the beach, 10 mins in to Santa Maria. Loved it.

“Price/quality Excellent”

This hotel is for adults only, thus very quiet like i wanted to. Very friendly staff, that will do anything to make your stay pleseant. Rooms have all the comfort you need and are very clean. Going back next year in October.
