Riu Cabo Verde

Hôtel très bien entretenu La qualité des repas du buffet est excellente incroyable, que ce soit au petit déjeuner ou déjeuner et dîner. Juste un petit problème d’insonorisation des chambres, on entend assez fort la porte du voisin quand elle se ferme. Et pas de porte qui se ferme entre salle de bain et chambre, j’aurais préféré avoir une porte. Globalement très satisfaite de cet hôtel.

Ignore the negative reviews from the idiots. This is a lovely hotel. Fabulous buffet, caters for every taste and dietary needs. The wine is NOT watered down. Nor are the optics in your room. I know because it was replaced while I was in the room. The only downside is the selfish people who put towels on sunloungers and then bugger off. If you're not going to use them, don't do it. Also, smokers leaving cigarette stubs in the sand is not on. The entire staff are wonderful and always happy to assist and have a chat. The beach boys are no problem. Just be polite to them. A holiday is what you make it. If you want an absolute 5 star, then go somewhere else and stop taking pictures of frayed towels and cracked mirrors. I'm having a wonderful time and so should you 🤣

Nice and relaxing holiday. Hotel’s 5* rating is a little far-fetched. We changed our room after the first night (due to some noise from the corridor and bugs), from the ground floor to the second floor. This second room was much nicer with a lot of natural light. Room was nice size with comfy bed. All the common areas were kept rather nice and clean. Beautiful walkways. Nice short walk to the beach, if you don’t mind the tour selling guys. The pool area is rather small and there clearly isn’t enough sunbeds for everyone. Go to the pool early. Especially on the sunny mornings the sunbeds are taken/ reserved early. Many RIU resorts have multiple pools and sunbed areas, well not this one. Even though the hotel covers so much land. Ordering white wine on the lunch or dinner is a little gamble, since it’s sometimes diluted with water. Sometimes even so much that it doesn’t even look or taste like wine anymore. We booked a table from the Hotel’s Italian restaurant Sofia one evening. Unfortunately lost our apetite completely after we saw two cockroaches climbing on the buffet’s heating cabinet where they served some bruschetta and pizza. We also saw one employee who was tiding up the buffet, sweeping something of the counter to the floor and then stepping on it.
