“Hotel Happy Day presents itself as a family and business-friendly option in Praia, with a rooftop pool, wellness services, and dining. While its proximity to the airport and local attractions like Cabo Verde University is convenient, reports suggest some amenities, such as the rooftop bar, may not always be available. A focus on managing expectations seems key here.”
