Hotel Pontao  

If you're hoping to get out there and discover Sal for yourself, then the Pontao is right up your holiday street. This modern hotel is a great base for those who like their holiday cocktail of sun and sea garnished with a slice of independence. Set back from the beachfront, you're right at the heart of all the action here, with the charming shops, restaurants and bars on your doorstep. But when you do need some time out, this friendly hotel is a welcoming sight. Fronted by a circular entrance, the Pontao fans out into a light and airy reception and has a contemporary feel that's reflected in its polished marble floors and squishy sofas. And if you like to feel at home when you're on holiday, the apartment-style rooms come up trumps, too. Light and spacious, they're furnished with wood finishes and have all the mod cons. Most look out over the elegant pool, which is bordered by tiled terraces and colourful flowerbeds. It's the perfect spot for stretching out with the latest page-turner or for dipping in and out of the sparkling waters to cool off. If you'd rather set off for the beach though, it's just a short walk away. After dark, step out in the balmy evening air and you'll find some of Santa Maria's hip-wiggling nightspots are just a stone's throw away. All you have to do is don your dancing shoes and feel those Cape Verdian rhythms of the night.
