Hotel Riu Cabo Verde - All Inclusive Adults Only

take plenty of fly spray and mosquito repellent antihistamine. We have been to many Rui hotels especially Caribbean and Boa Vista, thought we would give Sal a go, this is our honest opinion ill start with the positive first comfortable bed, good power shower, not a bad view of pool, adequate balcony vert tatty chairs, the, cleaner was very good, Main restaurant adequate, specialist venues, good, Now the not so happy bit, how can this be an adult only hotel when children are allowed in at night ?Especially on the neon night and white night when everyone is going crazy jumping up and down going mad and you have little tots under feet huge lasers that can damage eyes alcohol flowing come on that's not right !! for 4 days we couldn't get a sun bed around pool no body on the beds just towels, we could see them from our room going down at 6 am,aparently if you put your own towels down they where not allowed to remove them ? when you did get a bed my god they where absolutely filthy the pool area was a disgrace discarded cups glasses litter everywhere and flies ive never seem so many flies,The beach

Just got back from Cabo Verde hotel after having a great two weeks there. I was a bit concerned about the bad reviews but needn't have worried. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the grounds are kept immaculate. The food in both the buffet and restaurants was good. Our room was cleaned and towels replaced every day and the minibar replenished every other day. Couldn't fault anything and overall had a great time.

Lying on my sunbed now at 9.45 am. No trouble finding one. Going home tomorrow so thought I’d pen some thoughts. After worrying about reviews I’d seen and thinking about cancelling I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s lovely and clean. The people work hard with a smile on their face. The beach is a bit of a walk and only went once. Sea is rough, no shade or under a cover of palm trees so didn’t suit me. The pool area is lovely. Only went in pool without swim up bar though . Food is plentiful and loads of choice. I’ve put on a few pounds whilst here lol. Coffee shop is fantastic. Very popular. Love the Jamaican coffee with Tia Maria. I drink vodka and Diet Coke and found it to be just as nice as at home. Animation team are great. Going to White Party tonight. I’m sure it’ll be loads of fun. Would definitely recommend this hotel

The hotel was clean and the staff were great. The entertainment was good with a mixture of shows, party nights and karaoke. The room were very good, slightly dated but clean and spacious. The main issue is there are only 2 pools both together and a lack of sunbeds. People put towels out early morning and these were often collected by staff if unattended. There is plenty of open space to put either more pools or just sunbed areas. The hotel does need investment to keep up with the competition.

Resort is pretty, gardens well kept, rooms clean and well stocked. Lovely pool area to relax in, the staff from room attendants, bar, reception, waiters/waitresses were all exceptional. Private beach was beautiful, can see the baby turtles in late September! Nice coffee shop in the lobby, lovely shop with native gifts you can take home. Recommend the lemon shark experience, amazing to see. However, sadly this is not a 5* RIU resort. We did not find the food to be very good, made both of us unwell for part of our trip. The restaurants sadly are not at the same level of other RIU hotels we’ve stayed in. Hot food was often served cold, cold food served lukewarm. Flies on food too. My partner has a severe nut-allergy, and we found out very quickly that items on the buffet are not labelled correctly making it a nightmare for him to select food. I was biting into food to check it out before eating, and discovering that most things weren’t as labelled. Very dangerous for him, life threatening in his case if consumed. Left him very limited on what he could eat and scared to venture outside of pizza and chips for the stay. Not usually a problem in other hotels, all inclusive and we’re always a bit careful. This one was really risky. Not enough sunbeds around the pool, created sunbed wars with people reserving them from silly o’clock. We had no WiFi in our room from day 3 onwards. A bit annoying you needed to go and sit in the lobby or bar.

Dirty room on arrival, empty mini bar, not even water, took 4 days to get supplies, apparently there's shortages, so tui should inform clients before arrival, not enough sunbeds, if you have food intolerances, you will go hungry as I found it hard to even get lactose and dairy free food nothing is labeled for intolerances, cocktails are premaid in slush, I would say tui website make it look like heaven, but it's been hell for us
