Best beach holidays!
The hotel was absolutely beautiful, our room was modern and clean and very comfortable. The bed was a dream. Staff was super friendly and the all inclusive buffet was excellent with a huge variety for all meals and also possibility to grill your own meat or fish. It was one of the best holidays we ever had! The beach is very close and gorgeous with plenty of chairs available and a gorgeous palm grove to get out of the sun a bit. In summary, we had an amazing stay at Riu Cabo Verde and would definitely recommend it and book here again! Thank you!

I loved the Kasbah fortified town architecture, the inner gardens, excellent accommodation and view from balcony. The bedding and pillows were so comfy... I slept extremely well. Food was fresh and abundant, coffee place aromatic. All staff worked hard and efficiently and the local musicians were present every night. An amazing stay!

Liked: Cleanliness
Not worth it.
Nice landscaping is just about all that can be said. Although on first glance there is lots to choose from, the food is bland and boring at best and the poolside cafe is gross. There is almost nothing to do on the island. Go somewhere else.

Fine for a night's rest for a Sal stopover
Excellent value for money, a great place to stay if you just want to disengage your brain for a night. Food is excellent, and there's lots going on... but remember it's an institutionalised environment with everyone behind a fence (it's hard to even glimpse the beach), so can feel a bit like boarding school rather than a hotel at times. Very friendly staff, lovely entrance area and nice pool (even if a little crowded).

Not Like Other Rius
I think the stay would have been fine if I had not been to other Riu properties which are all much better. There is no in room mini-bar which is normal Riu operation. The Garopa side of the hotel is actually a little hike to the beach. I am used to Rius being truly beach front. At the beach there is a bar but no food and no bathrooms. The staff were great. The nightly shows were very good. I just feel this is not like other Rius in Jamaica or even Boa Vista in Cape Verde.
