What guests think

Hotel Varandas do Atlântico by RIDAN Hotels earns strong praise for its beachfront location near restaurants and the airport, very helpful multilingual staff who go above and beyond, and generally clean, comfortable rooms with appealing ocean-view options and convenient breakfast.

Some rooms feel dated, a few back-facing units overlook air-conditioning equipment, and guests reported occasional noise, small layouts for families, or issues like weak air conditioning. Breakfast is widely described as good and made available early on request, though the selection can be limited and day-to-day variety could improve. There are isolated complaints of slow check-in, billing or communication problems, and one upsetting interaction with management; parking is limited and there is no on-site parking. Expect a straightforward beachfront stay centered on walkability and convenience.

I just spent a week with my son and it’s a little gem in the middle of the city with a perfect view. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They even had breakfast ready at 4 in the morning before we were leaving, breakfast is only at 730 and they would leave breakfast set up a little longer for the late arises. The room was always very clean. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back.

My mother is travelling with me she is 86 years old. They had no room for me and my wife they wanted us to go to a different hotel and leave my mom alone. She’s 86 and very sick. The reason was for her to be close to us the manager very disrespectful. only his way I told him I have to be close to my mom. She is very very sick. Me and my wife had the ocean front view reserved. He did not give it to us. He gave me a room at the back very dirty, and did not give us back the difference of money of the ocean front of you. He was rude very inconsiderate will never put my feet there or family there again very very disappointed.

Direkt vom Hotelzimmer zum Strand? Hier möglich! Unser Zimmer war sehr großzügig geschnitten und absolut sauber. Besonders loben möchte ich das Personal! Sehr entgegenkommend und servicebegeistert. Eine Mitarbeiterin hat uns mit Freude sämtliche Touren organisiert, so dass wir auch ohne Mietwagen von Praia aus auf keine Sehenswürdigkeit verzichten mussten, stattdessen abends ins Meer springen konnten, was Angra uns so nicht geboten hätte. Jederzeit wieder!

The view was beautiful and evenings on the veranda were peaceful with the sound of the waves hitting the beach. Enjoyed our stay and plan on going back.

As new owners they are working to get the amenities up to scratch. The staff are outstanding, friendly and go way above and beyond to accomodate. Beds were comfortable and we had a city view. Fabulous to sit on shaded balcony with a breeze. Lots of restaurants and bars within a 2 minute walk. Beach right across the road. Breakfast for little money was adequate. Would absolutely recommend.

The outdated charm of the very first hotel in Praia still holds some appeal, though it could really use a full renovation. Beds and breakfast are just okay. The back rooms overlook a corridor of air conditioning units — far from the idyllic sea view one might expect.
