The hotel environment is good, and there are many choices of food, but the theme restaurant needs to be booked 3 days in advance. This is a bit bad,

Can’t complain! Was a good beautiful hotel with plenty of food and drinks for all guests! Very easy to get there from the airport and everyone speaks English if you don’t speak the native language or similar. Most requests are done via their handy app which is easy to navigate and all inclusive is true to the name! You only pay for anything extra such as treatments in the Spa or items from the shop located on site otherwise everything else is included in the cost of your stay! I would have preferred more options for the 24hr “snack/food option” but this was only used out of hours so not many times for me.

Been to this hotel twice now and loved our holiday each time. It is a large hotel having 6 blocks but we loved it as liked to get our steps in walking from block 6 to main reception and restaurants. But we did find block 6 good for pool, breakfast and beach. The hotel is kept exceptionally clean as well as the grounds. The hotel has no lifts so people with mobility problems need to request ground floor rooms.

This was an ideal hotel for a restful holiday. The room was clean and quite spacious. Food in all the restaurants was good and plenty of choice even for fussy eaters. The entertainment was fun although a bit repetitive but you could find a quieter bar to enjoy a drink if it wasn’t your cup of tea. Would definitely recommend the hotel but don’t go to Cape Verde if you like sightseeing. All the staff were very pleasant and professional.
