Reviews of SALINAS APARTMENT MAIO WiFi FREE

* Very nice welcoming by the owner, dear Maury and his sweet little son <3 * Everything clean, nice, presized, arranged, thought, prepared, cared with love and attention with extra care ... here ! * The room and the bathroom pretty spaciously large ! * Room was cleaned next morning since I forgot to tell that no need. * My room had some morning sun. * There is a net for mosquitoes. * Bed/mattress is not with springs its sponge type, yet pretty large size. (no small fridge) . * Small table with mirror and chair is helpful. Also having a fan in the room is excellent. * Bathroom has a bide if you like. * Excellent breakfast with all basic essentials, all made/prepared by Maury. Must try his homemade yogurt, and cake too. * Except check-in&out times, main door is locked and all guests can access to upper levels/rooms by side entrance with extra key, for security. There are signs of cams around the building too. * Location is 5-10 mins walk to the main seaside cost of Sal Rei. Post office, main shops, Chinese stores, local bars, bicas, cafes, restaurant, beaches and the Pier is walking distance. People around/on the streets are nice and welcoming. Just be aware with dogs at night time) And main Port is also nearby area. There is another beach near by (Praia de Cruz and Cabral but not ideal for sunbathing or swimming. Yet cute restaurant Cafe Alma Criola is nice! look for the CreoloTour people at lunch time, good tour! ) * Maury contacted me directly on W.app to check and arrange my arrival. Very kind and efficient. Can arrange taxi for you Yet all drivers know the B&B Salinas. He was also helpful for some info before and after I get there. * İts a calm and local area. there are some salt lakes behind. * what you see on photos is what you get, no bad surprise! Yet all nice in this place Grazie Maury

Nothing to the with the property maybe but i could not feel safe at dark / night because of dogs barking everywhere around the town at night. yet short taxi ride from the beachfront anyways

Maury is very kind and helpful. Really felt at home during my stay.

Maury has been the best host. He helped us with taxis and excursions Breakfast was delicious. The right amount of everything and very varied. The room was done everyday. You feel like at home ,thanks again! 🙂

Leaving the place.

1) Attitude of the owner; he's just sold the business and obviously now running the place down. 2) Attempt by owner to involve me in his conspiracy to cheat booking.com of their rightful agency fees! 3) Filthy and unhealthy bathroom; my photos show the health hazards which include the risk of cuts to the fingers, legionnaire's disease, cryptosporidium and electrocution in the bedroom. 4) Cheap thinking #1 > see the raggy half (!) of a bathmat! 5) Cheap thinking #2 > not fruit juices for breakfast just sugary, fruit-flavoured drinks.

Humble clean and friendly

Wifi was a bit patchy but not a major problem!

Very nice place to stay! Super helpful and cool guy runs this place! Breakfast was delicious. Close to the beach and some nice restaurants. The host gives a lot of recommendations of where to eat and what's happening in town. The room was clean and spacious. Everything worked very well.

Maury, the manager, is a really friendly and helpful person who provided a warm welcome, good advice on where to find restaurants and live music in the city of Sal Rei and proper quality espresso coffee. I felt well taken care of! Thank you Maury!

I stayed here 7 nights and everything was great, I felt like home!

The owner was friendly and did his best to advice on what to do, help whenever possible, recommend and explain. I asked beforehand for a quite room and indeed was allocated a room on the inner yard.

The room is spacious, but organized in a way that makes staying there not pleasant. There is not enough light, there is only a ceiling lamp which is not strong, and no bed light. The bathroom on the other hand has 2 lights and more light than the room… To read in the room even during the day I needed to use my mobile light. There is a chair but no table, sitting and working on the computer is very uncomfortable. Outside the room there are a table and a chair, but if I have to load the computer that’s not possible. There is a sitting area near the reception, but it is usually closed and can be used only when the owner is present. That’s a shame as it is rather pleasant and could compensate for the lack of comfort in the room. A third problem is the hot water in the shower. It becomes very hot for about 30 seconds and then starts cooling down. Even without washing my hair, the hot water is never enough and you end up with cold water. Also the location is not really pleasant, it feels rather desolate, and coming home at dark is certainly for a woman on her own not very pleasant. So while the owner was nice and helpful, the homemade bread and cake are tasty, I would probably not choose this B&B again and would also not recommend it to others. This while small changes could probably make a big difference in experiencing the accommodation. Better light, extra bed lamps, a table, more hot water in the shower - all would make me a lot more positive.

Maury is truly the best host on the island, always friendly and helpful, keeping his B&B extremely clean and safe. He will always help you with anything you may be looking for - like taxi service or tours (both for a reasonable price), money exchange, information about the island, including daily live music tipps, restaurant reservations or tipps for visiting other islands. The rooms are very spacious, daily cleaning service and alltogether very friendly staff. Thank you Maury and I definitely will visit you again!

Very good information and help regarding the area, restaurants and other things you wanted to know about Sal Rej.

Very good breakfast and excellent coffee

During our stay at B&B Salinas in Boa Vista, we were impressed by the exceptional hospitality of the owner, Maury. He provided daily recommendations for dining and sightseeing, enhancing our experience. The breakfasts were plentiful, offering a good variety, and the rooms were clean and matched the website descriptions. 

maury was a good host

i missed the donkeys

Maury is very kind and accommodating

B&B Salinas is about a 5 minute walk to the beach 1 way & 2 minutes the other way. Well let's start with the breakfast of fruit salad, bread and jam & yogurt with cake. not our usual breakfast to be fair it was very nice. Our host & the girls serving breakfast we're very nice & polite & our room wS cleaned very often. It's basic the rooms but great for what we wanted. Good food around the area

We on 3 occasions during our stay had 3 to 4 very good fruit as we think sometimes the fruit is prepared overnight maybe? The reason we sat that is the juice in breakfast bowl & some of the fruit looked a bit offish but was nice to be fair.
