“Brilliant 4 star hotel.”

This will be a shortish but very favourable view on Riu Cabo Verde Hotel on the island of Sal in Cape Verde. I visited around this time last year late May/early June 2023 for seven days. Spoiler alert: I'm booked to arrive in June this year also but this time for two weeks and not seven days,... more

“Hotel RIU Cabo Verde”

Hotel was spotless, room very clean, comfortable and had new towels when required. Pool was lovely, although the sun beds do need to be cleaned, very grubby. Could do with a bleach sanitizer. Buffet food was so good we didn’t go to the restaurants. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had... more

“Best beach holidays ever!”

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 the possibility to grill your own meat or fish. It was one of the best holida... more

“Disappointed”

This hotel isnt conventionally bad and i’m going to sound like a right moaner with this review, however it is no where near the 5 star standard and is a 3 or 4 at a push. There is No atmosphere during the day other than entertainers coming to pool a couple of times a day doing their dance and then buggering off elsewhere so all there is to do other than drink in the pool bar which was great for the first few days but quickly got boring. I imagine there is more at the funnana but i paid for adults only and the hotel is advertised as having activities and entetainment… i dont want to have to go funnana and be around kids. I have seen them try do some pool games but the pool isnt big enough and it just looked rubbish. Food is ok at best, very poor quality for a 5 star hotel and often cold we’ve had still frozen fries and burger rolls, undercooked pink chicken and none of the signage above matches what the food is which I think is dangerous and i will be reporting this to TUI However I am not too fussy with food so i have been able to find something to eat others in my party have not always. Drinks are ok at best too, best drinks are in reception bar however seating is awful over there really uncomfortable and the bar closes way too early i expected this to be the 24 hour bar! I hate the fact if you want to have a drink late at night you have to go into the sister hotel which has the club and sports bar both are awful and nowhere nice to sit and talk amongst friends. Sunbeds have been a joke most of the last week not enough around pool for everyone and staff not pro-active stopping people saving loungers and then going elsewhere for hours on end. Today however there was plenty free so its not an everyday thing. Rooms are OK mini bar not filled up daily infact mine was only filled once in a week, cleaning standard is not what I expect from a 5 star and that applies throughout the hotel. Good points are the beach is lovely but red flags most days, The coffee Bar was good To top it off our last 2 days of the holiday the whole group has been down with sickness and diharrea!! Very disappointed with my visit and would not come to this hotel again, however i would visit the island again.

What do guests say about Hotel Riu Funana?

Guests at Hotel Riu Funana say: This will be a shortish but very favourable view on Riu Cabo Verde Hotel on the island of Sal in Cape Verde. I visited around this time last year late May/early June 2023 for seven days. Spoiler alert: I'm booked to arrive in June this year also but this time for two weeks and not seven days, so that will tell you how much I and my partner enjoyed it here. As a lot of people have already mentioned...this is not a 5 star hotel. You are not paying for a 5 star hotel. If you think you are, you ain't. It's a very solid 4 star hotel. However what does make it feel like a 5 star hotel is the staff. They cannot do enough. Polite and helpful. Rooms are clean and we had no problems with A/C or bathroom issues. TV channels aren't great but I don't fly three thousand miles to watch telly. Excellent mini bar and the usual Riu optics in the room. Also the food...excellent quality and masses of choice, especially in the main buffet restaurant. The speciality restaurants are also good. We booked 3 last year and probably will do again this year but if you cannot get a booking, trust me, the general buffet restaurant is perfectly fine. I'll be taking my own towels for sunbeds and whilst I've heard a few moans about getting a bed, that's not something I remembered from last year and if it's got worse since then, the 8.00am to 8.30am times I'm reading here recently are hardly the crack of dawn, are they? We didn't go to the beach much last year and to be honest I was put off by cigarette butt's all over the place at the entrance to the beach but after reading a few new favourable reviews this year and the fact I'm staying for two weeks and not just one will probably make me give it more of a go this year. The Friday night entertainment was and still is, by all accounts, still very good so we will be looking forward to the neon and white night entertainment parties. My plane leaves almost exactly 5 weeks from now to the minute...I cannot wait.
