The feedback on this hotel and resort are so accurate. Barren it certainly is, nothing to do in Cape verde and the excursions are very limited and expensive whether you go on a south island or north island tour there's nothing in it,just being thrown round in a jeep and not seeing much. A visit into town, don't hold your... More

If you've ever been to an Iberostar in the Caribbean and you expect to find the same... forget it! This is Cabo Verde. Once you accept this fact, You will have an amazing time! Rooms are simple, spacious and super clean. The Staff is really, really nice, but an honest nice. They are really friendly, it's in their nature and... More

Yes the area it's in is barren but once inside the beach view is superb. I found the rooms very comfortable and yes a little dark but I only used the room to sleep in. The food was excellent such a diverse choice for all nationalities the service and efficiency of the restaurant staff second to non. If you want... More

Having read some of the other recent reviews for the Iberostar I'm afraid to say that I pretty much agree with much of what has been said. I do not intend to repeat many of the issues raised. You may exchange some worried looks on the transfer from the airport to the hotel on account of just how barren the... More

I've just returned from a relaxing week at this hotel, it is ideal place to get away for a week of R&R. It is 100% not a 5 star, I would rate it between 3 / 3+, it lacks finesse and there are too many issues to stop it from being 5 star. From the cheap furnishings and lack of... More

It is true this is no luxury hotel but a nice 3 stars. African 5 stars, I guess. Apart from that, our room wasn't that bad with a fine bed but no view. For a view you have to pays more. The staff was average but the waitresses and the animation team, really sweet. The food is ok and there... More

This hotel is advertised as being 5 star which could not be further from the the truth. When you pay a 5 star price you expect to get a 5 star experience. Unfortunately, there is NO grandure at this hotel. Everything is very basic and would struggle to get a 3 star in the UK. Reception is all wooden with... More

We went in Cape Verde for Christmas, great choice. We had a huge room with a partial view at the beach. Very clean room, the towels were changed every day, and the sheets if you ask for it. The food is great, every day something different, we always ate in the main restaurant, but there are 2 more, one is... More

Unfortunately we totally agree with previous review from Ulf L. Seriously... Who the heck gave them five stars? We have stayed in some nice hotels in various parts of the world so have a little experience of what is considered good and what is considered bad; moreover what can be considered to be star status both good and bad. Iberostar... More
