Oasis Salinas Sea

We have returned to Oasis Salinas, this Easter, from March 19th up to March 26th. Room nr. 2056, a family room (for 2 ADLT + 2 CHD) with a partial ocean view. We had some German Friends joining us on the 20th. This was our 4th time in the Oasis Group in Sal. We noticed some add ons since our last visit. The major one was the beach bar / restaurant. Las time we had some frigo bars close hand with drinks and this was it! The food is good for an AI namely at lunch and dinner. Breakfast is simple but acceptable. Drinks are OK. We found the employees to be nice and kind, particularly those at the front desk and from the animation team. Lindsay was very nice, courteous and professional. She became friends w/our daughter. :) The beach at Oasis Salinas close to the pier is the best. The location is top. The colors and the water temperature!... so nice. We will definitely return, special during Easter time, March or April. Proves to be a fantastic beach break, less than 5 hours’ flight from Lisbon, with a balanced cost-benefit. Once again, we felt at home. Thank you, Oasis Group, for another memorable stay!

We had very pleasent stay. Hotel is located just beside beach and city. Easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Breakfast was ok. We had a suite with seaview and it was great. Althought clean and tidy hotel. Plenty of sunbeds both at the pool and ocean side.

Best location! The food was so good and varied, we went out and ate pizza twice but would have just as easily been able to eat at the hotel. No difference in taste experience at all. The room and balcony are a good size, the cleaning is very good. Fresh and nice! Thank you Adilsa Santos for making our 3 weeks so wonderful. The hotel is great! Modern, clean and stylish. The location is perfect - right on the amazing beach and a short walk to the center of Santa Maria. Plenty of sunbeds, even if some elves set the clock as usual, accessibility was good. Some complain about hard beds but we slept as good as any, nothing wrong with the beds at all, and some complain about the food but the fact is take these complaints with a pinch of salt because most come from families with children and have never understood their need to complain? All the staff were as pleasant as possible, always, thank you Sara Lopez who worked the whole New Year's weekend for us and others. Get in touch if you know a place to buy nearby. Thanks for the varied food, every day new tastes (if the families with children ate the food instead of leaving everything on the floor, you would have known about the same). We don't think the Oasis is an overrated hotel, they deserve five stars. VING delivers as usual. Food and drink and all inclusive among the best and most varied we have eaten. Thank you very much for making our first stay in Cape Verde a great one, next time we will definitely come back to Oasis!

My recent stay at Seaside Oasis Hotel was a delightful experience. Situated right on the waterfront, the hotel offers stunning views of the ocean from every room. The accommodations were spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every need was met promptly. The highlight of my stay was the hotel's private beach access, where I spent hours basking in the sun and listening to the soothing sound of the waves. While there were a few minor issues with noise from neighboring rooms, overall, Seaside Oasis Hotel provided the perfect retreat for a relaxing seaside getaway.

Have been coming to Cape Verde for many years, usually staying at a Rui chain, thought would have a change, wish we hadn’t!! This is definitely not a 5 star hotel. Positives: Its a lovely location and the beach is amazing. Negatives: On arrival, no welcome drink Room nothing special, very basic bathroom, hand held shower or it floods the bathroom. No toiltries only shower gel No robes, slippers Towels thin and small. First night unable to sleep due to mattress, all springs coming through. Straight to reception in the morning to ask for mattress to be changed, no apology just I will get it changed. While we were there, mentioned about being all inclusive and having to buy soft drinks package or drinks package, makes no sense, receptionist just shrugged her shoulders!!! Majority of staff are not friendly or polite, there is no real leadership or management, no checking in for any meals only if you have been given vouchers in which you have to book the date at a separate desk. The food is ok but nothing special, the cocktails are a joke. When walking through the hotel there is no atmosphere, the place has no soul, no pictures on walls in corridors etc. Definitely not worth the extra money we paid to stay here, compared to Rui which is a 5 star hotel accross the board. At most a 3, will definitely not return or recommend.

I have traveled to over 50 countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels, some of them very modest and humble, but I have to say this one was one of the worst experiences ever. If not the worst. Where do I even begin.. We were a group of 7 people with kids and had requested well beforehand that our rooms would be as close to each other as possible. Upon check in we learned that our rooms were on the opposite sides of the big hotel. They told us there was nothing they could do that day but told us to ask again the next day. Trying to unpack as little as possible we waited and asked again the next day - nothing they can do, but will contact us if things change. We never heard from the matter again. I get that requests are not guaranteed and are subject to availability but it's hard to imagine that all the other guests had asked for specific rooms months in advance. Well, the rooms then. Ours had an extrabed which was absolutely horrible, not to mention the blob resembling a pillow. We had to tuck stuff under the mattress on the side keeping a person from rolling over to the floor. The showerhead was impossible to put to the holder and free your hands, because the water always turned facing the opening to the bathroom so the whole floor flooded. Our both rooms had this same problem. We stayed in a garden view room, which had a patio/balcony with no privacy whatsover. People walking past the room literally centimeters away. If I knew this beforehand I would have chosen the cheaper basic room with an ordinary balcony. The first 4 days after the cleaning we had to ask for right amount of towels. We were 3 people and sometimes only got 1 fresh towel even though the old ones were taken away. One day we called the reception asking for the 2 missing towels and they replied with "we'll send someone over right away." Knowing how things (don't) work over there I even repeated the request to a cleaning lady I saw going by. After three hours(!) no towels and we had to call the reception again. Then it only took 20 mins to arrive. These are all minor issues though compared to the attitude and service of the staff. Never have I ever encountered such rude, unpolite, unfriendly staff members anywhere in the world than those who work in this hotel (a couple of receptionist and our cleaning lady were the only exceptions). The breakfast was a disaster. Every morning, no matter what time you went, either spoons, cups, glasses, plates or all of these were out. When people tried to ask a staff member for them they just gave an icy glance and walked away. There might of course be a language barrior, but a smile and at least trying to hear the customer out would go a long way! And the changing of the pool towels then; there are time slots when the towel exchange is open and the other slot is supposed to open at 16.30. First time I went to return the towels there were people standing in line (as there were every day) and the guy in charge of the task was standing t
