Hotel LIVVO Budha Beach

Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel pour deux nuits seulement, et l'expérience fut décevante dès notre arrivée. Avec des températures extérieures avoisinant les 29 degrés, nous avons rapidement constaté que la climatisation dans notre chambre ne fonctionnait pas correctement. Malheureusement, l'une de mes amies était malade, victime de la tourista (attrapée ailleurs), et a dû rester alitée dans cette chambre étouffante. Lorsque j’ai évoqué le problème avec le personnel, ils se sont contentés de poser leur main sur la climatisation pour m'assurer qu'elle fonctionnait "normalement". J'ai essayé d'expliquer qu'à plus de 200 € la nuit, il était inacceptable de ne pas bénéficier de toutes les commodités, mais ils n'ont montré aucune volonté de trouver une solution. J'ai essayé de supporter cette chaleur insoutenable, mais au milieu de la nuit, je n’ai plus pu résister. En allant voir le personnel de nuit, on m’a d’abord dit que l’hôtel était complet avant de finalement me proposer, "comme par magie", deux chambres disponibles. La nuit suivante, j’ai pu dormir dans une chambre digne de ce nom, mais j'ai dû rendre les clés dès le matin. Plus tard, ils ont fait appel à un technicien qui a vérifié l'installation et m’a assuré qu’il faisait "froid" dans la chambre. Pourtant, même après avoir laissé la climatisation fonctionner à 16 degrés pendant 24 heures, la pièce restait étouffante. Cette expérience a clairement mis en évidence le manque de professionnalisme et une mauvaise gestion des problèmes. Aucune solution concrète n’a été proposée, mis à part un éventuel ventilateur… qui n’a jamais été apporté. C’est vraiment triste de vivre une telle expérience pour les derniers jours de notre séjour au Cap-Vert, surtout après avoir choisi cet hôtel en raison de ses nombreux commentaires élogieux. Enfin, les prix des consommations sont exorbitants, comme 7 € pour un simple jus pressé ! En résumé, cet hôtel ne vaut clairement pas son prix et je déconseille vivement.

Nos ha gustado mucho el hotel, lejos del barullo de los grandes complejos turísticos y a la vez a 10 minutos andando del centro de Santa María, zona tranquila, segura y bien iluminada. Totalmente recomendable.

Seafood the best. Chef Mario's seafood dishes have been excellent, full of flavour, quality over quantity but still enough. Great presentation Check photos Service staff, very friendly, efficient & always with a smile 😁 What more could you want.

My husband had cancer so this was our 1st holiday abroad for 5 years! Loved every minute of it, staff were wonderful, food was amazing, pina colads spot on!!! Loved every thing about it, booked a couple of days trips to see more of the island, cant wait to return xx

The official rating of this hotel is 4 stars, and with a bit of cosmetic upgrading and better staffing in the kitchen, I could see it reaching that level (it seems like it may have once been a real 4 star). As it was, the room quality itself was more 3 star, and the outside area was 4 stars. We had a 'deluxe sea view' with no terrace. There was lots of rough paintwork and lack of maintenance on the small details in the rooms, but overall it was fine, with a huge comfy bed and a nice shower and a lovely view out the window. Unfortunately the entry was at the street side of the hotel which was our smoking area, and that view was just the dirt road and some houses. Overall we would stay here again as the room was fine, the staff were great, the pool area was amazing, nobody had any screaming kids (very quiet and peaceful, great for couples) and while the beach required stepping over rocks, it also had the best snorkeling area with the most fish. Another sandy beach with less fish and two beach bars is a 3 minute walk away, and the main strip with the main beach is a 10 minute walk (that one is useless for snorkeling but great for swimming). Besides snorkeling, it's also a preferred spot for wind surfing. We happened to try the hotel restaurant on a really bad night apparently, we waited an hour for our seafood paella which was average quality but double the price of the strip restaurants. However, according to the other patrons who did all inclusive, the service was usually much faster. and the food usually much better. We did also have burgers for lunch one day, and those were expensive but very nice. Breakfast was included in our stay and it had an extensive and delicious continental selection, plus hot eggs and bacon on order, always very fast. The staff were super attentive and completely on their game, absolutely fantastic service. We got a great deal on a package holiday with LoveHolidays, so for the price we were very happy and would definitely stay again.

Great location next to the beach and watersports centres. The rooms with a terrace have stunning views and are large with a very comfy/massive bed. It's a small hotel and very quiet with loads of sunbeds and a good sized pool. The staff are friendly and helpful This is an expensive hotel but the quality wasnt what we expected. The water is drinkable and the hotel hasn't got a purifier We had several days of cold showers which they eventually fixed and gave us a free meal. The restaurant had a limited selection but was table service. We would want to eat there every night. I would recommend it but there may be better options. It may be worth booking directly.
