HOTEL VULCAO
Star hotel known by locals, with a gym and a natural saltwater pool in Cidade Velha
Just outside of town is the newly built Hotel Vulcão, the only 4-star hotel in Cidade Velha, well known to the locals who frequent it at weekends. Built on the water's edge, you'll enjoy a swimming pool and direct access to another natural saltwater pool, safe and ideal for snorkelling. For the more courageous, the hotel also has a gym. The chef, who specialises in Creole cuisine, creates some very appetising dishes, which are served at the Saturday lunchtime music buffet, where it is not uncommon to come across a number of personalities.

Not just clean but very clean. Air Conditioner, a lot of space, pool, balcony, furniture. However, bring your own soap. There is also a token gym (stone floor, no heavy weightlifting). Friendly service. Quiet.
Breakfast 8:30 ... 9:30. Generous breakfast, better than standard continental for sure. The opt-in lunch was very good. It may be either deli for groups or a la carte. Eat-as-much-as-you-want for groups is great value. However, a la carte is a bit expensive option; specialized restaurants can do better than that.
For swimming, I asked for a towel and I got it. During my stay I accidentally ate a kiwi meant for Cabo Verde football team and the situation caused by my appetite for fruit was solved in a very friendly manner despite language barrier.
Most of people do not speak English, French is probably more common. One of the administrators spoke English. Asked for a towel for pool and got it. Got help with organizing taxi to airport (it is expensive here and it has been not as easy to get a taxi when you actually need them).
I definitely recommend this place. Place is also important. Cidade Velha is much more quiet and quaint compared to Praia.
