Hotel Falucho Paradise Beach — Hotel in Santiago

Rooms are old BUT VERY CLEAN! You have to figure out when the hot water is running, because if you don't you're bound to cold water. The reception doesn't speak English well, better use translate app. They offer shuttle to Praia airport and back, it was 4000CVE (40€) for one way, it's very hard to go on any tours from here, because no-one picks you up from here, you have to go to Praia on your own first... Beach is very nice to look at, big waves, some trash on the sand (not hotels fault). The pool is nice. Restaurant is very good with reasonable prices. We really like the food, you can ask for omelettes at breakfast. Staff is...

We didn't stay at this hotel, but we stayed in the village in family house and visited this place many times during our stay in Santiago. It's a small town that is not tourist friendly yet. The food was okay, but unfortunalty the chicken was not well coocked. So be carefull with eating meat and food and this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The beach is black and nice, but rough and sometimes very dirty with trash. The village needs to be updated and made suitable for tourism. I believe that with time things will be better. I have seen this place change a lot...

We give the hotel a mixed mark, which highlights the positive and negative aspects that appear in careful reading of other reviews. Staff was very friendly. Room was spacious and exceptionally clean, but dated. Location ... hmmm ... the hotel is right on a good beach, but the beach is dirty. The hotel is next to a town, but many of the buildings are decaying or unfinished. The food was good at the restaurant but many of the menu items were not available. The pool needs work. The hotel and village need an overhaul to become a tourist...
