Hotel Riu Karamboa - All Inclusive - Adults Only

Rui Karamboa Cape Verde First impressions nice resort but not 5 star 4 at best …. My opinion did not change Adults only resort yet children from Palace next door was with parents walking through resort not stopped by staff. ? sports bar ok but live sports keeps buffering SportsBar Very poor TV coverage and unfortunately the pool table was substandard with broken parts see attached photos Rooms very spacious with spirts and mini bar , safe in room , wardrobes are located in the bathroom , Bathroom had a small shower, no power and no bath - limited shower gels Kings size bed with seating area and 2 seated balcony Housekeeping very loud in the morning woke us up at 08.00 by shouting and being loud in the corridors even though they did not enter our room that early , is not what you you expect for a peaceful holiday. No clean towels when we went to exchange them at 1630 Drinks no branded drinks at the pool area whatsoever , Bacardi available at the main reception bar only but all local brands available throughout - no procesco or sparking wine but was told we can buy it … no Bombay Sapphire no Apple spritz Gym opened at 8 am poor size not enough equipment for the size the hotel very disappointed. But at the least did manage to do sessions by getting there at 7:45 to ensure I was the first one in line no water bottles or towels provided so take your own Food Reservations are easy to be made on the app but was told only 1 themed restaurant booking per stay ? - what’s that all about ??? Italian first night and it was as expected , plenty of choice and really tasty and service was spot-on , 3rd night we went back and the food was poor and the service not great to start with and food not replenished as you would expect . Restaurant as expected service is really good with plenty of choice of Asian foods white wine was house which was fine but again no sparkling wine. Ala carte restaurant by far the stand out food of the holiday everything course was spot on and delivered to the high standard you come to expect with a 5 star resort unfortunately everything else was not where near 5 star Lunch buffet - was told at 14.30 - that the club sandwiches were finished when I asked to be replenished - but buffet did not close until 17.00 poor service … Rui white party was excellent entertainment and sax player was superb Had to reinstall the RUi app twice which was not great

2nd time at this hotel , cannot fault the staff all very helpfull never ever not got a sunbed ,met some lovely people had a lovely holiday. Had to wait awhile for room when we got there, food was very nice ,drinks were plenty full, would def recommend this hotel only thing for me was to have a bit of music background when the entertainment team we not about, shows at night time were very good. Look forward to going back

Everything about this Hotel was 5*+ incredible from the time of booking to the time we returned home

We just got back from this 10/10 holiday. First time to Cape Verde and this hotel in Boa Vista, it was honestly amazing. The hotel was spotless, rooms were cleaned to a high standard everyday, the staff were polite, helpful and friendly everytime. The entertainment is great, they really try to put on a variety of shows. We had a swim up room but getting a spot down by the other pools was never an issue for us. Great choice of food at the buffet. We also did the 4X4 guided tour which is a must, just for the lunch we had at the Morabeza. We also did the romantic beach dinner which again, was amazing. Great food and the fire pit by the beach was a lovely way to finish our holiday. Both these trips were organised through Tui at the hotel. We are already planning our trip back.

This hotel did not disappoint, the room had everything you needed. The fridge was always fully stocked and the optics was a nice little extra for a night cap. A variety of food and always somewhere to eat. Plenty of loungers to relax and enjoy the stunning weather. Nothing was too much trouble, staff very friendly and work very hard to keep the place clean and tidy.

I couldn’t fault it from the day we arrived at the hotel until we left. The staff could not do enough for us the food was amazing so where the drinks the entertainment was fabulous too.
