Sol Dunas
3.9/554 Reviews
Spent a week here with my mum and my 4 year old son in the Easter holidays. We booked to stay in the Sol Dunas but think we were staying in the Melia Dunas part. Its impossible to tell where one hotel ends and the other begins, it just feels like one big resort Top tip: soon as you arrive find out how to book your evening a la carte restaurants (when we were here you had to go to Odessy piano bar (inside) from 10.30am). They get booked up quickly. We only dinned in Atlantis and Sahel and both were great Childrens entertainment was excellent. Lollo and Bernie (plus Astrid and the other kids club staff) really made our holiday. My son loved them. The 5.30pm mini disco was a huge hit. I understand this (Lollo and Bernie program of events) has now all finished for the season although the hotel also had kids club facilities. Food and drink. ”Spices” is the buffet restaurant and ”Mosiac” (they are in the same building) is the part open for snacks outside of main meal times . We enjoyed the food. Ate salads all week and some of the meat. Did feel a bit samey at times but we could always find something to eat. You can also have lunch at Aqua which is pizza and pasta and is table service. So nice to mix it up and go there. The a la carte restaurants for evening meals also help provide variety. Coffee is best ordered at the bars, it doesnt taste nice out of the machine in Spices. We were also happy with the selection of drinks served in the various pool/beach bars Kids splash pool was another big hit and we spent almost all of our time here. There are some building works happening next to it but they do not disturb you Our room was large and clean. The houskeeping staff did a great job. Only issues (we did not raise this with the hotel at the time so they ve had no opportunity to address this and it didnt really bother us that much) the safe was temperamental it would lock but then sometimes wouldnt open! The plug in our bathroom sink was also a bit problematic, it would get stuck. If u were not careful the shower also flooded the bathroom. Had to be very careful to angle it away from the shower screen (that had a gap at the bottom). Overall we loved our holiday here and we are already discussing booking for next year (as long as Lollo and Bernie are there!!!) Biggest bit of feedback to the hotel would be: you need to make it easier to find out some of the information on restaurants, meal times, events, etc. The QR codes didnt really give enough. A sheet in the room or information pack would be helpful Thanks for a great holiday!
Melia Dunas Beach Resort & Spa
3.4/570 Reviews
Melia Hotel is divided into Melia Dunas and Sol Dunas, both of which belong to Melia. In the same place, the facilities are shared one after the other, but Sol guests can go to Melia for dining and vice versa. The hotels are all white. There are no descent, it can be said that almost all the hotels in Cape Verde are like this, and most of them are white elderly couples, not many young people, singles are not, and you do n’t need to think about looking for a chance. The room is large and comfortable, the disadvantage is that there are many mosquitoes. After check out, you can still enjoy all the facilities and have a bathroom and a dressing room. One price all-inclusive buffet type is OK, not a lot. The service is very good, you have to answer questions. More recommended hotel near Santa Maria Beach in the south, it's so beautiful!
Hilton Cabo Verde SAL Resort
4.3/570 Reviews
The best hotel in the whole island of Sal, except for Riu, is Hilton. Unfortunately, there is no Riu at the time of booking, but Hilton is very new, the decoration is very beautiful, and the facilities in the room are very modern. The hotel swimming pool is very large, the beach is outside, the greening is very good, the photo is beautiful, but the room is a little far from the beach, only half of the sea view room.

Hotel Riu Cabo Verde - All Inclusive Adults Only
4/556 Reviews
RUI Cabo Verde hotel/ Sal/ Santa Maria. This review is that of my wife and I. They are our views only and appreciate everyone has different tastes and standards and opinions. I would like to say though that we generally have a high standard and expect quality when we’ve spent our hard earned money to buy things or visit places that are labelled into different classes if that makes sense. Therefore this is our honest thoughts. The Hotel was fabulous, no issues with the room size as described, cleanliness or decor. It was cared for daily, new towels every day, someone would make the bed daily and change the sheets when this was needed. Any drinks used from the fridge would also be replaced daily. There was never any shortage of water as others have previously mentioned. The reception is spacious with a good quality feel to it and plenty of seating. Reception is 24hrs, there is a little boutique shop and a coffee and patisserie section from 10:30am daily. There is one bar within the reception and staff are quick to serve and are friendly too. The grounds are spacious and well cared for. There are several roaming cats that weren’t to my liking yet they didn’t seem to bother you much. Poolside was good, although January was a busy period and all sunbeds were reserved early morning with towels and bags (even though it says not to). Some people literally had the same bed every day! They must have been up really early for that commitment. I found it frustrating and someone needs to get a grip of it and manage this. Some of the cushions on the beds were dirty as previously reported, yet lots were also clean or new. You could however get fresh towels as often as you wanted for the pool and beach. If there were no beds we walked the short five minutes to the beach where there were many spare beds. Getting to the beach was tricky, I say this as you had to endure/run the gauntlet of getting past the salesmen wanting to sell you trips. It could be annoying, especially when one of them said out loud “don’t you want to support local people?” I bit my tongue and carried on, I had plenty to say believe me...but didnt want the hassle. We would try and walk around the back of this walkway to stay out of their way! The beach was lovely golden sand, sunbeds weren’t as clean as poolside yet again we put fresh towels over them. The sea was rough the majority of the time with big waves and the red flags were displayed to inform you of the dangers. Even standing at the edge you could feel the strength of the tide pulling you back in so be very careful as we saw many people struggling to get back out of the sea and near exhaustion. It was also pretty windy. There were plenty of options for water sports on the beach and there was a beach bar open till 6pm serving all inclusive beer, water and fruit juices for RUI guests yet nothing else which was disappointing. There were also many roaming dogs, yet again they never seemed to bother people that we saw. On site resta
Hotel Riu Palace Santa Maria
4.5/566 Reviews
Just had 14 nights at this amazing hotel . From the lovely friendly staff who always had a smile to some amazing food .The choice was outstanding best Riu hotel out of several that we have stayed in . The weather was beautiful the whole time we were there even though it was very windy . It was also spotlessly clean everywhere. The cleaners work so hard to keep everything looking lovely . Thank you to Janisse who looked after us at breakfast .The only negative for us were the sun beds so low and uncomfortable.Providing a mattress would make a big difference.Overall had an amazing holiday and would definitely recommend this hotel .
