Village Cabo Girao

Pros +

• Fantastic location and great variety of things to do. Our room was great.
• The room was very spacious and had 2 rooms. Since it was a little cold there were a lot of heaters in everyroom. there were a lot of parking spots. The receptionist was very nice and explained everything very detailed. The was spa and a restaurant and a little supermarket. There was also a leisure room with billiard and games. There were also games nights where you can put your names on. The laundry was next to our room which was awesome after a lot of hiking in mud.
• We liked everything about Village Cabo Girao, it was so nice that I feel sorry we had to leave everyday to go sightseeing. I wish we could have had a few days more of holidays to just stay there to chill. We rented the 2 bedroom flat, very comfy, well equipped, spacious and clean. My daughters and I loved the game room, mini golf and the swimming pools as well as renting a different DVD everyday to enjoy movie night within the family. Many kids clubs and activities available (but we didn't enjoy any unfortunately as we were out most of the time). The view is amazing, skywalk is 5 min walk from reception and the location in general give you freedom to travel the whole island within 30 min to 1 h by car. Staff very friendly and helpful. We didn't use the minimarket but for emergency shopping g there is one in the village and we didn't try the food as we cooked mostly at home but seemed nice that too.

Cons -

• Some of the staff were very polite, nice and kind but a few of them were really the opposite. The contrast was huge. Spa area was out of date, dirty, moldy and many things were broken, not maintained. Sauna was cold and parts of the roof was missing, had mold and bending, jacuzzi water was dirty, bathroom toilets were dirty.
• Driving up the hill was a bit challenging because it was very close to the skywalk and there were a lot of parking cars which blocked the road and the traffic was insane and scary.
• There is nothing that we didn't like. Maybe the Steam room and Sauna could do with with more heath and more steam to be more effective, but I didn't personally care too much.
