Hotel Riu Karamboa - All Inclusive - Adults Only

Location and Accessibility: The hotel is conveniently located just 5-10 minutes from the airport, making transfers quick and easy. The proximity to the beach and scenic surroundings is consistently praised, with many guests enjoying nearby beach bars and excursions.

Everything was very, very good for our 7 days, couldn’t fault the comfort, entertainment, food & drink. All staff well drilled and good at their jobs. Only 3 points of note where it could be better. 1)Toilets needed on ground floor close to Restaurants. 2)An ice machine in each of the accommodation blocks would be better. 3)Minor pharmaceuticals like painkillers, anti inflammatories, plasters, diarrhoea tablets etc should be available in the hotel shop negating a costly and time consuming trip to the main town. Nevertheless great resort and would recommend to anyone seeking a chill holiday with no expectation of outside trips.

Such a lovely hotel. The staff are superbly friendly and appear to have boundless energy! Great choice of food. A range of bars and self-service drinks. Our room was large with a separate sitting room. The overall resort is huge but does not feel busy. Particular to note how clean everywhere is with staff always cleaning, tidying etc. Great to be located on the beach as nice to escape along the sand. (Current building works next door cannot be heard although you can see a crane...definitely a relaxed approach to construction!) Boa Vista: definitely windy so bring some beach towel clips plus a gallon of sun lotion! Room: kettle and tea/ coffee provided. Fridge in your room and bottled water left every day. Milk from the restaurant. Restaurants: after you have checked in and found your room then pop back to reception to do your bookings for the specialty restaurants. We visited the African and Cape Verdian - both excellent - we particularly enjoyed the CV one. Cats: you'd think from some reviews that there are herds rampaging through the resort. There feels like that there is about a dozen who are are well looked after and very friendly. You barely notice them although they do occasionally pass through the restaurant or bar. Sunbeds: the usual inconsiderate reserving of sunbeds at 8am but still plenty of choices. TUI: we booked with TUI. Excellent service and the team at the hotel are fab. Big thanks to Hannah for lending us an adaptor! We did an interesting "Capital Sights" tour with a super guide called Zau. Really helps you appreciate Cape Verdian life.
