Recent Reviews in Rui Vaz

Hotel Vip Praia

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Hotel Santa Maria

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for only two nights—arriving late on the first night and leaving early on the second—but I still wanted to leave a review because the staff made such a positive impression. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also want to recognize the woman working in the restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name, but she was wonderful. Even though I don’t speak Portuguese, she went out of her way to communicate with me, recommend local foods and places to visit, and make me feel welcome. One evening, she even spoke with the chef to prepare a traditional local dish for me. That extra effort meant a lot and made my stay more memorable. The hotel itself is affordable, clean, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The shower was quite small, but it was functional and not a major issue. My only criticism is the communication regarding transportation before arrival. I contacted the hotel in advance because I was arriving late at night and needed assistance getting there. Unfortunately, I never received confirmation before landing and had to arrange transportation myself after a long trip. This was the only frustrating part of my experience. On the morning of my departure, however, the staff arranged a taxi for me without any problems. Overall, the kindness and hospitality of the staff were the highlight of my stay, and I would happily stay here again. Location is great, too!"

Hotel Pérola

8/10 Good

"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rui Vaz?

The best area to stay in Rui Vaz is within the village itself or on its immediate outskirts, offering the most convenient access to the area's main attractions.

Rui Vaz is a small, relatively spread-out mountain village known for its cooler climate and stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and coast. The village centre is modest, with a few local eateries and shops. The main draw here is the natural landscape, particularly the hiking trails that crisscross the Monte Tchota Natural Park. Accommodation typically consists of guesthouses and eco-lodges integrated into the natural environment.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape and outdoor activities will find Rui Vaz ideal. Staying near the village means you're perfectly positioned for early morning hikes up Monte Tchota or exploring the nearby botanical garden. The quiet surroundings provide a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring the natural beauty of the island's interior.

For those prioritising tranquillity and a connection with nature, staying slightly outside the main village, perhaps in one of the more secluded lodges, offers an even more private experience.

When is the best time to go to Rui Vaz?

The best time to visit Rui Vaz is during the dry season, which runs from November to June, offering consistently clear skies and comfortable temperatures.

During these months, you'll find the weather ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the island, including the hiking trails and lush landscapes around Rui Vaz. The lack of rain means outdoor activities are rarely interrupted, making it superb for those who enjoy walking or simply relaxing outdoors.

If you're a couple looking for a peaceful escape, this period is particularly good. The pleasant weather allows for romantic picnics amidst the greenery or leisurely strolls through the village without the worry of sudden downpours. The evenings are also generally mild, making dining out a comfortable experience.

For solo travellers seeking adventure or a quiet retreat, the dry season offers excellent conditions for hiking up Pico da Antónia or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
