my husband and myself have just returned from riu karamboa after 2 weeks. firstly this hotel is NOT a 5star hotel, it's more on the lines of a 3star. The food was school meal type rubbish, if you like tinned fruit and ice cream, yellow rice, white rice and pasta that tastes as bland as wall paper paste. No tea... More

I was a bit reluctant to book this hotel in Cape Verde as I thought I may get bored. There isn't much in Boa Vista other than beaches. However, the beaches are lovely and its a fantastic place to go if you want a relaxing break away from all the stresses of home. Its also very undeveloped at the moment... More

Travelled here from 6th to the 20th of May for 2 relaxing weeks in the sun and were not disappointed in any way, shape, size or form.

Anyone who has been to the garopa and fununa in sal would find the karamboa a much smaller complex. Rooms are scrupulously cleaned daily. Any problems are dealt with promptly and followed up by...

Myself and my partner have just returned from a fantastic week at the hotel Karamboa, before we went we emailed the hotel requesting a sea view and got one which was a great start, throughout the holiday our room was kept spotlessly clean. The hotel staff from reception to bar staff were always attentive and friendly, all in all cannot... More

Me and my husband stayed here for 15 nights end of april to middle of may and it was one of the most relaxing chill out holidays . My fear was the weather and all the reviews on been windy , it is not windy it is breezy but nice as never feel hot and sweaty and things aren't been... More

This is a lovely hotel with gorgeous beaches! The staff were lovely and it so was very clean. The hotel is more like a very good four star than a five star. You will always find something to eat but don't expect to be amazed because it's mostly standard buffet food. The Asian restaurant is very nice and the African... More
