We had a wonderful week here - Melany and the staff, including the two young ladies who provided excellent massages, were attentive and helpful and the hotel was a perfect size for us. The staff kept the grounds and room spotless (the housekeeping and ground  staff work hard to maintain the area) and the location was just right for us, tucked away from, but easily and safely a short walk into, the main part of Santa Maria. We were very fortunate to be given the suite on the ground floor and loved the view and privacy it afforded. Any queries we had were handled professionally and promptly.   We enjoyed our breakfasts with a range of options, including fresh fruit and a variety of different baked goods. We also enjoyed the frequent live musicians who performed in the evenings. (Just to mention the sparrows can be a little intrusive around  the restaurant during breakfast  but we quickly learnt not to leave our food unattended and to avoid further encouraging them by feeding them!)

 Its a few minutes walk to a sandy beach and bar, with plenty of windsurfing options etc and the sea was clear and the perfect temperature! 

The hotel pool was bracing to get in to but refreshing, very clean and never felt too busy at any point during our stay, with plenty of sunbeds and loungers around the pool area and overlooking the sea - great for cooling down as part of the relaxing days we enjoyed. 

We researched and went to a few of the smaller  restaurants, including one which brewed craft beer in town and the brilliant Art Kafe just a few streets away from the hotel.  Much needed winter sunshine and relaxation - brilliant. 



Winter sunshine and relaxation

Seafood the best.
Chef Mario's seafood dishes have been excellent, full of flavour, quality over quantity but still enough.
Great presentation

Service staff, very friendly, efficient & always with a smile 😁
What more could you want.

Chef Mario & staff

My husband had cancer so this was our 1st holiday abroad for 5 years!  Loved every minute of it,  staff were wonderful,  food was amazing,  pina colads spot on!!!  Loved every thing about it,  booked a couple of days trips to see more of the island,   cant wait to return xx

Well needed after 5 years x

We stayed at this wonderful hotel from 22nd December to 5th January 2024.
It is by far the best hotel in Santa Maria.
All of the staff from the security team to the chef were delightful and it would be wrong to single anyone out.
We were blessed with room 24, a sea view suite, the best room in the hotel.
The attention from the staff was incredible and the food first class.
We encountered no service delays in the restaurant to which reference has previously been made and the track leading to the hotel is part of its charm.
The hotel is a very short stroll from the town providing a peaceful location. 
The safe and sandy beaches are close by and we were amazed how warm the sea was.
One big criticism which the management needs to address in our opinion. OK, this is 'no stress' Cape Verde but sparrows flying around at breakfast atttacking exposed food is not acceptable and highly unhygienic.
I saw one bird poo on exposed cake which I was able to dispose of. This problem could be easily remedied by utilising the simplest of coverings.
Apart from that, two magical weeks were enjoyed.

Great experience

Beautiful little hotel on the edge of Santa Maria with gorgeous views out to sea and a great pool.
Probably the best customer service I have ever had at a hotel, all the staff made you feel welcomed and they were all really friendly. 
Great food in the restaurant, lovely to go half board and not have a buffet instead a great menu to choose from and everything was cooked fresh and really tasty (I would recommend the prawn tempura starter...lovely)
Everything was really clean and well cared for.
The hotel is quiet and peaceful but just a short walk (or €3/4 in a taxi) to the town centre where there are lots of great shops, bars and restaurants.
If I was going to be really picky I would say that the room (Rm20 Sea View Suite) could have done with a bigger wardrobe and a cover on the balcony as it was so hot when full sun was on it, but bed was very comfortable and huge and the shower was nice and powerful. I would definitely recommend this hotel. 

Best customer service ever 

We arrived in CV around 18:20 to find plenty of taxis outside the airport to take us to our destination BB HOTEL. On route everything seemed ok for the first 5 minutes or so until we noticed the taxi driver dodging every pot hole as we were been driven along a dual carriageway. Spent about 15 minutes or so swerving the pot holes to which the driver knew where everyone was, even in the pitch black. 
We then arrived in the entrance of SAN MARIA. As the driver was driving through the streets of san María I did start and become concerned thinking ‘ where the hell is he taking us’ the streets become more rough looking the deeper we drove into SM. Please note, this does become more appealing during daylight hours. The final 300 meters of the journey took us up what I can only describe as a dirt track which at the end of it was this little gem of a hotel called Budha Beach - both myself and my wife were so relieved to be getting out of that taxi ( 25€). Unbeknown to us, that dirt track was going to take us into town every night ( 10 min walk ) taxi back from town a little later was around 4€.
So, we where greeted at the hotel by Melany ( fantastic employee of the hotel, couldn’t do enough for you ) in fact the whole hotel staff were amazing and so engaging especially the bar/ restaurant team ( brilliant people )
Quick couple of lines on CV itself. Just of the dirt track there’s a place called the Adjulo, great snacks for lunch and a great location for hiring beds etc on the beach- next door there’s a restaurant called Collumbus which has a fantastic menu and the best pizzas I’ve ever experienced in my life. 
Overall, the Budha Beach and Cape Verde was a fantastic experience a would recommend whole heartedly. Just what is says on the tin, relaxation round the pool and all you can here is waves crashing on the shoreline.
Thank you Melany and the team.

We stayed at Buddha beach club for a total of two weeks and can 100% say it was our favourite holiday as a couple. The hotel is only around at ten minute walk away from the main strip in Santa Maria, also the most beautiful parts of the beach. 

Santa Maria itself has lots of great authentic markets, restaurants and bars to take a look round. The locals are all so welcoming and friendly. Felt very safe throughout the holiday.

We can’t thank Buddha beach enough for the lovely room, staff and food. The restaurant inside the hotel itself served possibly the best food we tried whilst on holiday. A honourable mention to the employee Paulo who made our stay extra special just with his general attitude and pleasant greetings each morning.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best holiday ever 

Me and my boyfriend stayed at the Budha Beach hotel for two weeks. It’s in a perfect location just a short walk from the town and the main beach areas. The hotel is so peaceful, it is the ideal place to chill by the pool and see the sea. 

Another point to mention would be the incredible food, the breakfast each morning was great and so varied and the lunches and dinners we had were fantastic.

The staff were so pleasant and friendly to us, in particular an employee named Paulo who made our trip that bit better by his positive outlook and chatting to us everyday.

We would 100% recommend going to Santa Maria if anyone was considering it and staying in the Budha Beach hotel.

Amazing!!!!

Stayed in the suite with a beautiful view.  A remote quiet peaceful hotel ideal for couples or those traveling alone.  Ideal for kite surfers as only 10 mins to the kite spot.  Guta and Paulo are both very helpful and friendly staff who made me feel at home.  

Quiet, relaxing and comfortable with a great sea view 

We have had a beautiful holiday here relaxing as well as kitesurfing on kite beach.  Just a short taxi ride 10 mins with Danny to kite beach who you can ask for at hotel reception.  Very reliable and will not rip you off for fees.  The budha beach hotel is so relaxing, very clean, and great staff all very helpful !  In particular Guta made us feel so special and was an absolute delight, so helpful and wanting to make our holiday special also Paulo was a lovely young friendly helpful man again both members of staff are a credit to the hotel.  Good staff are hard to find so please look after these guys so when we return we get this wonderful helpful service with a smile !  Our room with a view was definitely worth an upgrade overlooking the sea 😍😎
