Riu Palace Boavista - All Inclusive

Service wonderful, room very well laid out for wheelchair access, bathroom fully accessible in wheelchair including the shower area, with fitted chair for easy transfer and grab rails situated in good positions. Bed very comfortable and made up as often as you require, with beautiful artwork made from soft furnishings. Balcony accessible with wheelchair without assistance needed. Entire hotel fully accessible with ease. Which made our stay perfect. There is a hoist to assist getting in and out of the pool if required. Sun beds are a little low if you are unable to transfer, but having spoken with the manager, it is the pipeline for possibly different ones when the hotel is refurbished. We will definitely be coming back as this is a wonderful hotel. The staff are absolutely amazing, extremely friendly and very helpful. Food is very tasty and beautifully presented, with plenty of choice, but if you do decide to go to any of the bookable restaurants be aware that the men must wear long trousers.

Reception was fantastic we were greeted and upgraded to a pool villa fantastic start. Pool villa was fantastic it gives you a choice to be alone, and they are well set up. The pools and bars are all superb. The theatre was good. The food was amazing, both buffet and speciality. The staff are all friendly and cannot do enough. It is our favourite Riu alongside riu palace aruba. Well done and thank you to Riu Palace Boa Vista.

What an amazing place, loved every minute of our 2 weeks stay, our room was clean and kept clean by our lovely maid. Drinks in our fridge topped up every 2nd day which was fine with us, staff are so friendly and cannot do enough to help you. Food at this hotel was OUTSTANDING! fresh, tasty, hot and so much choice. We spent our time on the beach, lovely long beach, we walked this beach every morning so peaceful. Ty Riu palace for a lovely holiday see you again next year.(already booked) Keep up the good work xx

Difficult to review. First time we have done an all inclusive. We were so bored for most of our trip. Sitting by a pool and little else was not for us. So I'm basing the review on our honest opinion. The hotel and grounds are spotless and beautifully maintained. The staff with one or two exceptions are an absolute credit to the hotel and really make this place. The rooms are really nice and the showers are amazing. Swim up rooms look great although for us if you want privacy why would you not l rent a villa elsewhere for far less money. The food. On first impressions looks great but after a few days became very samey. Even with such a large selection. The desserts all looked great but mostly tasted the same. The cheese selection, fruit and salads were exceptional. The drink selection was not always branded. And generally a little generic. Prosecco, lager and basic spirits but a little uninspiring. The cocktails were very poor. The entertainment had moments when it was great but mostly very Butlins like. Although the entertainment staff are incredibly hard working and make a first class effort. Entertainment could have finished a little later. The pools are nice and there is never a shortage of sunbeds if that's your thing. The beach is beautiful but a lot of rocks under the surface. You need to turn right and walk 10 mins to the beach bar for a better beach and better cocktails. The island is beautiful but very little to do. Turtle watching is a must. If you like sitting on a sunbed. Drinking ok drinks and eating in an all you can eat buffet then this place is top draw. If however you like a bit of adventure then there must be far better ways to see cape verde than an all inclusive. Wake up people be more adventurous.

Leave your cash/wallet in the safe. This is a superb hotel, fantastic food, branded alcohol and the friendliest staff I have ever met. A return soon is on the cards

I can’t find anything negative about my stay at the Rui Palace it’s a great hotel, lovely rooms, super food, staff and location 👌
