We have just got back from 2 weeks staying at the Pontao Hotel (bed and breakfast) in Santa Maria and I thought I'd post some information about it as we couldn't find much out before we left.

We have just got back from 2 weeks staying at the Pontao Hotel (bed and breakfast) in Santa Maria and I thought I'd post some information about it as we couldn't find much out before we left.
Overall a very clean and friendly hotel. Not very old - only a year or so I think. Rooms are fairly spacious with fridge, air conditioning and balcony. Safety deposit box in rooms with charge of 15.00 euros per week to use. Ensuites are clean and in good condition with a hairdryer above the sink. Maids clean and change towel everyday. Breakfast buffet has a good choice (cereals, yoghurt, fruit, toast, cakes, omelettes). Pool is keep very clean.
The hotel was very quiet when we were there (June/July) and there is building work going on around - but there is building work going on in the whole town! It didn't disturb us really. We headed down to the beach most days as it's so beautiful.
I would recommend this hotel to anybody who prefers a smaller place to an all inclusive. Makes a great base for anybody who likes to get out and about and be more independent. As the Pontao doesn't provide evening meals you can sample the restaurants in Santa Maria each evening. Great for fresh fish!
The only problem we encountered was the night club over the road - The Pirata. Music goes on well into the early hours. Take some ear plugs with you just in case you end up with a room over looking it (like we did)! I believe the rooms overlooking the pool aren't affected.
The Pontao is also one of the most reasonably priced hotels in Santa Maria (paying about £650.00 per person for 2 weeks through Portland (agent Thomson). I believe it is Cape Verdian owed too, so at least some money going back into the community and not all to a big International chain.
Hope that helps.
