Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Barlavento Islands

"Staff were professional and extremely helpful. Both at reception and the restaurants. The cleaners unfortunately spoke Portuguese, so put my requests in at the front desk. Excellent choice at breakfast. Buffet in the evenings also had a great choice. As soon as food ran out, it was quickly replaced, both breakfast and dinner. On 2 occasions, the lifts stopped working, but was quickly fixed. Great location, 3 mins to the beach and 15 mins walk into town. Decaf coffee in rooms, but ask and regular coffee is provided. Lovely hotel, slept very well. Had a really relaxing holiday. Would stay again at the Hilton. "

"Hotel VIP Praia is great location on the ocean with a beautiful rooftop pool & relaxing area! The buffet breakfast was good. We only had dinner in the restaurant once and it was not very good, was supposed to be pork tenderloin, was dried out bone in pork chops. There were some good restaurants in the are & shopping right door! The staff was helpful in most areas. Except downstairs bar/restaurant seemed understaffed. Overall great stay!!"

"Beautiful hotel friendly staff - room maintenance can be better but overall great stay Loved the breakfast "

"Amazing staff !!"

"I recommend this hotel"

"Lots of positives. The hotel was spotlessly clean. Our bedroom recieved a thorough clean each day and we received fresh towels each day. Lots of food choices including a buffet and several a la carte. We were here 1 week amd had no problems booking a different restaurant each night by going to the booking service at 1030 in the odyssey bar ( next to the piano). Food was excellent. Hotel has several pools and direct access to the beach. No problems getting a sunbed. No mosquitos but bring your spray just in case."

"Close to bars and restaurants so plenty of places to eat either at the hotel or in the town."

"this is a very nice quiet hotel, but there are a few things useful to know.....avoid room one which has no aircon working and is a bit dark. most rooms don't have a sea view and the road is a bit dirty. book well in advance as they get busy. the restaurant is great and the staff are very attentive at all times. "

"Lots of areas for management to improve. We have been sick for almost 2 weeks! Noticed birds eating out of the bread baskets yet staff turn away. Also, smoking is out of hand at this property. People do not follow rules, smoking everywhere including in their rooms and staff do not enforce following designated smoking spaces. It was our first and last time at Riu. "
