Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Riu Funana - All Inclusive

Hotel idéal pour un séjour en famille. Très propre, nourriture délicieuse, kids club, animations, personnel souriant et aux petits soins. Plage juste à côté. Pas de transfert mais taxis à disposition (20€ de/pour l'aéroport et 5€ jusqu'à Santa Maria). On reviendra sans hésitation !

Absolutely fabulous resort. A must stay with very friendly and welcoming staff, clean and well maintained facilities, plenty of food options beautiful beaches and lots of activities to keep you busy. 10 out of 10 👍😊

very nice place

Everything is beautiful and the staffs are very friendly I did recommend to anyone who likes to have fun at the resort

Everything was excellent. Very professional and kind staff. We especially liked animation program and super cool animators. Excellent food and alot to choose for all tastes. Room is nice, clean and cleaning ladies are very nice and friendly. We were on our honeymoon and the staff gave us a welcome drink to the room and nice decoration with towels.

The property is lovely surrounded by palm trees. The rooms are spacious. We liked that the various buildings of rooms were only 2 floors and each had a veranda. We were especially impressed with their buffets. Incredible variety of foods and very well prepared. The only thing it lacks from our perspective is a couple more a la carte restaurants. There is only one in the resort, the rest are buffets.

I stayed for a week with family. The hotel has everything you could wish for, it has African decor, to give you a true authentic African atmosphere with terracotta and dark wood, African paintings, The cleaners and maintenance workers never stop. The restaurants are great, the pool is fabulous, the beach is a stroll to the back of the hotel grounds. I highly recommend

I liked the buffet. The variety of food is endless. The staff are very friendly and super hardworking. I liked everything.

We loved the night entertainment, especially the kids activities, the food at the buffet restaurants and the cleanliness of the property. The gardens are immaculate and very well looked after. Two out of three A la carte restaurants should not be closed 3 days per week, by the time we checked in they were fully booked. The rooms are in need of refurbishment, they don't meet 5 stars standards. The mini fridge in the rooms only offer two bottle of water, we stayed for three nights at a different 5* hotel in the island and they were offering a selection of soft drinks and beer in the room. Air conditioning in the room works fine but again, the vents are dated and you cannot switch between different modes such as dry, cool, fan.. or intensities. Overall a very good experience, expecially for families with young kids, but if you are a couple or looking for a 5* experience and comfort you might find other hotels in the island meeting your expectations fully and a better value for money.

The hotel is nice, the pools are huge, good restaurants, good animation team. The woman at the reception kept speaking Spanish to me, I don’t know why. She gave me a room that was very far and no one helped me bring my bags in. Plus she forgot to give me the bracelet so security stopped me later questioning if I was a guest. The biggest drawback was that the beach is too far. I tried to go and find it a few times but was swarmed with men sitting outside the gate and selling tours. I didn’t feel comfortable walking the super long desert road alone to try and find the beach. It’s so far, you can’t even see it from the gate. There are plenty of amazing hotels right on the beach in Sal so this was a huge disappointment. The Riu hotel I stayed at on Boa Vista was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at so I had high hopes for this one but it doesn’t compare. I left after one day.

I love it, I think the pool closes pretty early.

Riu Funana is a very well kept and family friendly resort. We came first more than 10 years ago, and were happily surprised to see that the resort had only improved, particularly the service and activities. Highly recommended for families with young children.

Was very nice We had a good time The food was excellent The stuff was so pleasant we wood go back

High quality hotel with excellent staff; tremendous value.

Everything was perfect but the wine is very bad taste

Very big food variety Interesting themes and activities Everything is close by Good restaurants Very friendly staff Great diving center best in the island amazing staff

Spend here 2 last days of our Cape Verde trip before the departure to Europe. Good place to take last sun and ocean treatment. If your departure is late in the evening ask for late check out (possible to 18:00) to have all inclusive services non stop Reception staff can make you feel mad if you'll try to ask for smth unusual (beach towels when you check-in in the evening), so please be patient, just keep all receipts they gave you (paid government tax)

A big resort with all the conditions for a good vacations. Ideal for families with kids. The sea water is absolutly great! Warm, calm and very very clean and transparent.
