Third time we’ve been in 4 months. A great hotel. Staff are brilliant especially the bar staff at night. The only thing that lets this hotel down is round the pool it isn’t as clean as could be, people putting their cigs out on floor and not being swept for days. The thing that did get to me was people putting their cigs out in the glasses, these glasses are reused, this is not the hotels fault it is the disgusting people. I had to buy a plastic cup because it made me feel ill watching them do it. We will be back in next couple of months.

Hotel's Favorite
Great family holiday - As with all my reviews I base this on the money I paid against what I expected and wanted. For all that it’s gets a great review from me. So let’s the get the 5 star hotel quality issue addressed first. Of course it’s not 5 star. The Dorchester is 5 star. The definition of a 5 star hotel is flawless guest services in a state of the art facility. Booking through TUI for a summer family break in Africa isn’t going to get you a 5 star hotel. In my view this is a solid 4 star family hotel. What absolutely made this holiday for me were the staff. From the reception staff, bar, cleaners, drivers, gardeners, life guards, etc etc they are all amazingly helpful and friendly. I got this all the way through Cape Verde not only in the hotel. They absolutely could not be more helpful, cheerful, friendly or funny. The hotel itself is a monster in size. It’s not ugly, it’s just a big sprawling castle type settlement that you would expect to find in the Middle Ages in the Sahara. It’s surrounded by nothing and when you get to the island you feel like you’ve landed on Mars. It’s desolate, it’s basically the Sahara desert in the ocean. The beach is absolutely amazing. Imagine the big sprawling sand of Fuerteventura mixed with the palms of the Dominican Republic. There is a cool breeze and palms to hide under. The sea is permanently red flagged and very dangerous. You can paddle but be careful. The waves are beautiful and if you walk left in the morning you may see turtles and crabs. Some even saw hammerhead and lemon sharks from the rocks 1 mile left down the beach. There are two pools for the general population. The infinity pool is far left near block 9. The main pool had a swim up bar. The adult only pool we didn’t try. Sun bed situation can be silly with most gone by 7am. Top tip, use the beach. Lots of beds, nice breeze, 60 second walk to the pool and pool bars. Food was really nice. Yes after 2 weeks you start to crave your home comforts but the choice was amazing. Salads, seafood, steaks, roast beef, turkey, pork, pasta, pizza, burgers, chips. Trays and trays of lovely fruit for every meal. More cakes than you could name. Salad bar was always a favourite and huge selection. Tuna steaks, Grouper fish, crayfish, and many more on the sea food section. Restaurants were v good. Asian was nice, Italian was sound. Cape Verdean was same as main restaurant. Drinks. Ok let’s deal with the watering down thing. Anyone who has worked in a bar or brewery knows that to try and mix water into a pressurised beer system doesn’t work and would cost you more than you saved. It’s just normal 4% beer. They give it you in small cups but you can take bigger cups of your own or just fill your own glass. The pre mixed cocktails aren’t that strong but if you want a decent size gin or rum it’s never a problem. The liquor bottles aren’t watered down. You just get a lot of ice and if you want more gin just ask them to top it up. For all those who say they didn’t feel drunk well that’s a good thing. We should be drinking to enjoy not to get pissed. The bloke who fell off the pool bridge and the 3 ladies put in the recovery position at the bar managed to get drunk so well done them. Luckily the vast majority of the hundreds of guests were sensible. Then mix of people in the hotel is great. British, German, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Romanian, amongst others. Good banter and nice people. Pool side entertainment is good fun. Beach volleyball is a regular highlight with 2 games starting at 10.30. French boules, bingo, water polo. Tennis and football if you want it. Night time entertainment is what you would expect. Some nights they had a a singer whilst you ate. During the day a saxophone player or guitar near the pool side bars. Some evenings were a bit Butlins on stage. It’s remote island off the coast of Africa. They are never going to book Ed Sheeran. We avoid the entertainment at most hotels we go to. I like some background music but I won’t be queueing up for a table at the front each night at any hotel tbh. We might get the cards out. There seemed lots to do for little ones. There’s a small toddler pool attached to the kids club. It’s self contained and looked great. We used to call it baby prison when we walked past. For teenagers there is enough. Pools, beach, activities, lots of people to meet. Excursions we did the turtles night tour. Amazing. Booked with Giggling Geckos. We also did the Sunday bbq with Andrew Worthington (find him on Facebook). It’s in Morabeza and water sports available. Andrew is a great guy and will bend over backwards to help. So in summary we booked our precious 2 week family holiday and loved it. The island feels a bit remote, it’s something different if barren. Weather is 30c all day every day. It’s never cold. Rained 3 days out of 14 and some cloud but we all came back tanned and refreshed. People are amazing. As much as it pains me to say it TUI were really good. I find them pricey and a bit faceless but this time they were great. If you want a solid good standard hotel for some summer family time you can’t you wrong. As a couple you may prefer something more intimate. I got what I paid for and loved it. 5 stars from me. Well done and thanks.…

The 5 star rating is laughable. The hotel in general looks to be clean, but looks can be deceiving. The swim up bar looks luxurious in the photos but i would suggest avoiding as it is unclean and definitely unsanitary. The food, fine but did not change from day to day or from day to night. Same selection all the time - pizzas, burgers, chips, “fish in sauce.” There are restaurants to book and they are nicer, but they are still ultimately a buffet. I would expect more at a 5 star resort, and have experienced. As i said, the hotel LOOKS to be clean… One night i went to reception to be greeted with 3 members of staff chasing a rat with a pole/broom. They killed the rat and proceeded to hold the rat up by its tail and show it off to their colleagues and those in reception. This is an absolutely outrageous thing to do and was genuinely pretty traumatising. I understand hotels have rats, but there are ways to handle things and given this is supposedly a 5 star resort… Hotel entertainment, fine just your usual. A lot of daytime entertainment going on but to give them credit they don’t hassle you in the same way other hotels might. Room was fine and cleaned daily even if later. The toilet in the room gives off a horrendous smell so it’s best to keep the door open when you are not in the room. Overall it was just fine. Food fine. Entertainment fine. Room fine. Not the 5 star resort it claims to be in the slightest, and the rat situation was disgraceful. I would not recommend this hotel, keep your money.…

The hotel location is superb as we had virtually no cloud for 11 days. Temperatures ranged from 26-30c throughout. Hotel facilities and staff were excellent. Food options and quality were also excellent along with the drinks selection for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Pool bar was ideally placed and the staff there made it more enjoyable. We will certainly return and informing family and friends to visit.

Wonderful for a holiday relaxing and doing nothing! Beautiful beach with awesome waves - treat the sea with respect - it's awesomely powerful. An upgrade to adults only section well worth it. Room spotlessly clean. Main restaurant manic busy and not 5 stars but perfectly adequate. Al la catre dining very good. Bar service in adults area excellent. It's Africa so things happen on a no stress basis. Don't expect quick service but it's very friendly. No mosquitos pleasantly windy. Temperature about 26 - 27 degrees everyday. Boa Vista is an unspoilt paradise with lovely people.

If you go for only a week all the Al a carte restaurants are booked for the next 4 days and you can only get a 9pm sitting on the last 2 days. Even after going to reception they are not happy to help unfortunately I’m here until Saturday

Had breakfast at the Beremar restuarant on two consecutive mornings and on both occasions noticed sparrows landing onto and eating the pastries/buns on the far right of the counter. The staff did nothing to stop them, at the same time customers were selecting them. Advised the Thompson rep of my concerns (sat 25/3/23). He took screenshot of the pic showing three sparrows helping themselves. He said he was sending it to the Hotel director. Told him if nothing was done I would write a review. Visited this morning and found birds helping themselves. Waitress ssw me filming and made light hearted attempt at sending them away. I will leave it to you to google potential health problems of food infected with bird poo. This is a beautiful hotel and such a shame that clients are put at risk for the sake of covering food that the birds target.…

This was our 4th visit to the hotel and it is now in need of a bit of tlc. That being said the staff were lovely and everything was clean. The service in the restaurants has gone down hill a bit, plates were not cleared away as quickly as they were in the past and the main pool definitely needs some attention

Gorgeous hotel. Great choice of food and restaurants. Lots of drinks to choose from. Rooms clean (did smell a little but nothing too off putting) great views, staff really friendly, the entertainment is great both during the day and in the evening - they all work so hard. It is literally in the middle of nowhere so it’s a chilled holiday. We did go on the quad biking trip which wld definitely recommend. The pools are fab and kept clean, you do need to get there early for a sunbed in a decent place by the main pool, but the infinity pool is beautiful and generally always got a place there. Would recommend for a chilled out relaxing holiday.

Lovely stay as always, but there are signs that it is time for a refesh of some of the room furniture and sunblinds/sunbeds by the pool. Unsightly patches of mosaic repaurs in the pools and loads missing in the Jacusi. Staff always eager to please.
