The property was nice but we needed to change rooms due to the moldy-distinctive smell that got one of us sick. For the most part, the staff food, entertainment, amenities were solid but this is not a place i would stay again. Overall 3.8 out of 5

If you’re looking for a place to lay your head then sure. But I would say customer service at the resort is sub par. Wouldn’t recommend this location at all.

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!

A nice and vibrant environment, Lovely staff and fantastic customer service. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. Food was great...the salad, shrimps and fruit made me ill so i will avoid eating those foods on the cape verde island not just at the Riu. Next time i will book directly with Riu hotels online instead of through expedia. As Expedia charged my account and then said I had cancelled the booking. I was charged in addition to paying at the riu property on arrival. There was no cancellation i thorougly enjoyed my stay. So this was disappointing to know expedia had done this. Then sent a cancellation email as a resolution 3 days after i highlighted the addition payment it to them.

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!

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).

Enchantés de notre séjour
Toujours ravis par les prestations proposées dans les hôtels RIU, buffets exceptionnels, service parfait, espaces verts soignés animations soirées très réussies. Quelques points négatifs : linge de toilette très usé, transats piscine et coussins à nettoyer, qualité des vins et cocktails beaucoup trop sucrés.

Excelente opção, recomendo.
Excelente, recomendo. Empreendimento bem localizado, em frente á praia, com boa área na zona das piscinas. No que concerne as refeições, excelente. Bom serviço, pessoal prestável e atencioso, muita escolha de diferentes tipos de comida para todas as refeições, pequeno almoço fabuloso. Quartos espaçosos e agradáveis, contudo o colchão do nosso quarto já necessita de ser mudado, e o único reparo que temos a fazer de uma semana de férias, é que o pessoal de limpeza dos quartos é um pouco barulhento, sempre que tentamos dormir uma desta, havia muito barulho nos corredores das camareiras a falar umas com as outras. Programa de animação do hotel bastante completo, com várias atividades ao longo de todo o dia e noite.
