VOI Praia de Chaves Resort

The staff are amazing - friendly and welcoming. Facilities are great, beach stunning swathe of soft sand! Food is varied and would suit any dietary needs as long as you don’t want to loose weight!

I stayed at this resort recently and it was great. My family had wonderful time. The rooms were clean, staff were friendly. I was a little disappointed with the food because they do not have typical Cape Verdean food there.

Food was very good. Staff were very helpful, cheerful and friendly.

Good entertainment team good bad sewage smell

For large complex well kept. Nice beach but you want be able to swim in the ocean. Currents and waves too strong.

The hotel was a little disappointing. Having booked and paid for a sea view room we expected to be on the beach front but we were set back and looked mainly onto two palm trees and other rooms and the sea was in the distance. Not that it mattered but we were supposed to have a sofa bed and mini bar in our room too. The hotel was nice enough, staff were friendly and worked hard but I wouldn't necessarily recommend. Didn't help that the swimming pool was also shut during our visit, although the small infinity pool was available. Whist we had a peasant stay I wouldn't be in a hurry to recommend the hotel to others.

5 Star pool, 3 star food, 3 Star room, Great staff.

Loved the Iberostar as it is not too big our room was so quiet and we weren't looked over by another room very well designed. Food excellent! Staff amazing and we were never pestered. The position is amazing looking over the fantastic beach...best beach I have ever been on. Our only fault was that our shower was not very good very poor power, I did bring it to the attention of the reception and they did something but it wasn't great!

Superb rooms and staff (especially the animation team). Very good facilities. Excellent choice of food if you're not a fussy eater (although pizza, pasta etc available every day for those that are). Could do with a little bit of a facelift in places. Close to the airport for easy transfer (aircraft noise definitely not a problem - you can't hear them. The sea is louder). Beautiful beach but the sea can get rough (great waves though!) A few flies due to the climate which us Brits are not really used to but not particularly a problem for me. The night time turtle excursion with Giggling Geckos was not just a holiday highlight but a life highlight.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Iberostar hotel in Boa Vista, Cape Verde. Overall, it was a very positive experience. RECEPTION: The staff was helpful and knowledgable. They helped us with taxis, restaurant reservations, towel changes, repairing the fridge within about 18 hrs (it was broken when we arrived), maps, arranging for a courtesy room on our departure day, and any other questions that arose during our stay. ROOMS: A good size w/ enough furniture to unpack comfortably. Always very clean & comfortable enough. Sheets changed on request, but towels everyday. Always 2 bottles of water (1,5 L) every day (+ unlimited supply of bottled water available @ buffet & beach bar). AC + TV worked great. Safe: had to pay the 16 euro @ reception before we could use it. Bathroom: shower (not a bath), toilet + bidet. Lots of hot water & water pressure OK. BEACH: Awesome! Nice sand, clear blue water. It's a little ways down a slope. It IS windy, which is pleasant as it helps endure the heat. The sea is rather agitated: BIG waves + lots of current. Even good swimmers have to be VERY careful! There are fixed parasols and some mobile ones you can set up wherever you want with sun loungers. Beach bar for drinks. POOL: Plenty of sun loungers + parasols. Pool bar for drinks + snacks. FOOD: lots of variety @ buffet. Good service. Thanks Leidy! ANIMATION: always lots to do if you want. Zoomba, aquafit, waterpolo, bow/arrow, step. Thanks to Yasmine & Monica (pipocas) for their liveliness!
