Amazing hotel - highly recommend
Reviewed By claireaG8790DSMe & my partner stayed here for 1 week at the end of May and had the best holiday with no complaints. The hotel was immaculate, gardeners worked really hard keeping the grounds clean, our room was cleaned everyday, the pool areas and restaurants were always really clean and tidy. Entertainment was good, the staff were always really friendly and just wanted to please people. A number of restaurants and bars, you will never be hungry or thirsty! A lot to choose from in the buffet restaurants and always really good quality. I enjoyed the iced coffees from the pool bars, they were really refreshing! The beach is the best beach I’ve been on, white sands, sea was bright blue and clear. We had a walk to Santa Maria down the beach which was lovely. The sea is a little choppy but the flags were on yellow whilst we were there so we were able to go in, we didn’t go in far, just for a paddle. We did the lemon shark experience. It was only a couple of hours but it was amazing seeing the sharks in their natural habitat, would recommend. The tour guy was a marine biologist so it was interesting finding out about the sharks and other sea life. Thank you for a lovely holiday, we will be back!

Ok holiday, won’t be going again- take euros
Reviewed By O3834EEbrianhOk holiday, won’t be going again- take euros 841785562 We arrived at the hotel after a 3 hour delay at Manchester Airport. This was at the height of the recent delays, so we were lucky it was only 3 hours. This is a typical Riu Hotel that is large, airy and looks really grand both inside and out. Staff, they are what make this hotel and one of the true positives about the place. They work so hard for very little pay. They all deserve every penny, tips, gifts that they are given. They continuously keep the hotel clean and endeavour to meet your needs constantly. The rooms are again as per every other Riu hotel room, large and spacious. We had a rear facing hotel room on this occasion and overlooked the road at the rear. This looked like a lunar landscape. In fact the majority of the island looked like this if it wasn’t in the shoreline. The hotel is in a very remote area of the island which is only an hours journey from the islands tiny airport. The road that leads to the hotel was built specifically for the hotel as there is nothing else there. This hotel is in a very remote area of the island and there is nothing around. And I mean nothing. So don’t expect a little trot out to local shops or a local pub or sights as there isn’t anything. If you do go anywhere, take euros as you can spend them as Escudos and not stuck with them because you are not able to exchange out of the country. Food in the hotel is ok. They create a massive range of dishes to try and suit all people and all types. On questionnaire days is when they push out the big dishes. If I noticed that other people must have. The specialist restaurants are better especially the Asian in my view. Let’s not talk about the entertainment apart from the Riu team try their best. Trips organised by TUI are hot and miss but we did two while there. We did the Whale watching and the visit to Sal Rei the capital. The whale watching in my mind was excellent but we only saw two whales for most of the trip, a mother and baby, and later on a male joined them. They should be honest with you and say it’s the end of the season in May/ June and that you are not really got to see anything as some people may expect more. Me o on the other hand loved even seeing a tail of the whales. The boat we sailed on was a Turkish Gillet. Wonderful trip. The sights of Sal Rei is difficult for many reasons. Mainly is that the island is a very poor and deprived place. There is intense selling, but this is uncomfortable from a cultural point of view. They are desperate for you to buy as they have very little money. They have very little in possessions and modern appliances. Just to prove a point there is a communal clothes washing station. Swimming pools. There are a few at the hotel and one in the adult area part of the hotel. Silver bands denote this privilege. You are not allowed in this part unless you wear one. Can’t comment here. But as the hotel got busier the beds became a prized possession and reserved at rediculous times in the morning by selfish people who may well take more than one for their needs. The hotel does not enforce any reservation policy, in fact I don’t think they have one, unlike other Riu hotels. Use the beach I hear you say… can’t swim. Red flag is flying all the time as the sea is so rough. Casualties are regular from the sea. Bars. There are several with a basic selection of drinks available, and beyond the beer on draught, and some spirits, cocktails are pretty naff. Finally in summary this is not a great holiday for us. As much as we like a quite chilled out time away, this really was comatosed. We liked the chilled nature, but even other Riu resorts there were accessible places to visit without having to shell out a lot of money to get there. And one final note. The airport really is a rip off so be warned.

Wonderful Holiday
Reviewed By 931DebsMy friend and I stayed for a week at Iberostar late May 2022. The staff were welcoming, professional and respectful. The hotel is spotless and the grounds are stunning. The rooms are well appointed and clearly the team of cleaners are well managed; as are the grounds staff. The Animation team do a fabulous job and the entertainment is well rehearsed and very enjoyable. The food in the dining hall shows imagination and quality. The themed food evenings ensure there is a constant selection of food from around the world. Lots of fish, seafood, meat in addition to pasta, omelettes, pizza etc. The Head chef should be congratulated for the immaculate presentation and the variety available. The location of the hotel is perfect. A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you to everyone. You are rightly proud of your hotel and I will be recommending it highly to my friends.

7. King Fisher Village
Overall Ratings
4 based on 108 reviews
The small village of Tarrafal at the "Punta de Atum" is still a sleeping beauty. A mysterious hideaway situated directly on the sea - one of the most beautiful places in the middle of the Atlantic. The sea is always warm here, the weather mostly beautiful and the days are accompanied by a healthy, refreshing ocean breeze. The eco-boutique hotel "King Fisher Village" has 3 apartments, 4 studios and 21 double rooms - each with terrace or balcony and equipped with sun chairs to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Since May 2021, the King Fisher Village has been generating its own electricity through solar panels and there are plans to become even more sustainable in the future. Located directly by the sea, the King Fisher Restaurant spoils you with local culinary delights. Here you enjoy the extensive regional breakfast. In addition to the "à la carte" offer at lunchtime, we serve a high-quality 3-course menu every evening. The local crew presents a local and modern cuisine, with selected seasonal products from the region and our own gardens. The seawater infinity pool invites you to sunbathe and linger. We serve our homemade hibiscus caipirinha right up to the sun lounger and the quickest way to cool off is to jump straight into our King Fisher Bay. Snorkelling, diving, hiking or even biking are wonderful ways to switch off and enjoy the unspoilt nature.
A little piece of Paradise
Reviewed By 544xenialKing Fisher village is a beautiful, well managed hotel with a stunning view. You don't even need to leave the room / balcony to enjoy the sound of the waves, the dolphins playing in the sea and the sun on your skin. And there's the food....as a vegan it's not easy to find a Hotel (in the middle of nowhere and also everywhere else) with good vegan food. Flavio did a great job and I was amazed every day about the magic the kitchen crew performed. I have travelled a lot but this was the best food I've had in a Hotel so far. Fresh, made with love and yummy. We have loved everything about this Holiday and I would definetly go back!!! Thanks to the amazing staff, we felt like home away from home.

Amazing holiday
Reviewed By linaa685I actually visited over New Years 2019-2020-‘ and I had the best time. I definitely compare things to this holiday. The staff was just amazing, as helpful as can be! And there was one specific bartender called Nerlene that deserves a pay raise due to ALWAYS being friendly - no matter how annoying the customer was! She never let that smile slip of. Food was a amazing and as a vegan I always found food and never went hungry. They had several different plant based milks . I would recommend this place to everyone looking for an amazing holiday!

Fijn verblijf in Mindelo met goed uitzicht over de stad en zeezicht
Reviewed By lighthunter111Het was een kleine maar fijne moderne hotelkamer met klein balkon voor twee zitjes. Met mooi uitzicht over de stad en de zee. Het zijn kleine gebouwen complexen met hotelkamers. Er is ook een ruim buitenzwembad aanwezig. Wifi was er wel alleen in de lobby en voor het ontbijt wandel je naar een ander gebouw. Ik vond het jammer dat we binnen moesten ontbijten er is maar een hele kleine buitenruimte voor drie tafeltjes. Ik zou dit hotel aanbevelen. Echter niet als je aan het strand op in het centrum wilt verblijven dan is het een hele wandeling naar beneden en ook weer omhoog. Taxi's zijn er voldoende.
