...I was able to swim every day even if there can be little windy environment...

...Staff were all brilliant funny entertaining especially the entertainment crew who were lovely and did great shows at night and the morning wake up dance poolside We went on a couple of trips the fire eater and drummers a must at a local bar on the beach , the bar along the beach from the hotel to the right worth a visit either by walking of get a taxi nice food ...

...Rooms are lovely and clean and the pace is so relaxing...

...However if you want a peaceful holiday to read and relax the volume of music can be deafening!...

...Bedding and towels were changed everyday and the housekeepers always left us some lovely “ towel art” sprinkled with fresh petals, it really made us feel special The complex itself sits on a cliff over looking the most stunning beach that stretches as far as the eye can see , a real bit of paradise...

...The hotel has an upmarket feel to it with good live music acts, and the sax player by the pool one afternoon was a nice touch...

...I liked the water chillers eveywhere and the glass bottles to refill...

...The rooms were made up each day with a nice touch of towel animals etc. The resort has beautiful flowers around the paths and the water dispensers are a fantastic idea...

...Allways seem to be in a good mood: must be the weather 😀 Nice room: not the most modern, but clean, comfortable and everything works...

...Iberostar has a better class of guests and a much warmer, friendlier and calmer environment... Modern, bright and clean decor throughout...

...Krásnáý areál, krásná nekonečná pláž. Čistý a velký bazén s úžasným výhledem na oceán...

...Although our room was a bit of a walk from the main area this was an advantage as very peaceful in the evenings... Was spacious and very clean with a lovely balcony... No need to take a kettle for the room - filtered water stations are always near by for regular, chilled or hot water...

...Room was fine minor point could not get the TV to work , but otherwise clean and functional cleaned every day .Food excellent great choices every evening , drinks nice that there were branded drinks unlike some all inclusive hotels ...

...Rooms are lovely and clean and the pace is so relaxing. A well needed holiday that exceeded our expectations because everything at the hotel was amazing...

This hotel needs an update and a good clean...

...Room was cleaned everyday, came stocked with shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser. There is a fridge in the room to keep your water cool...

...The room was dated, NO written information anywhere, it was only on our last day we discovered we could have rented a kettle...

...Unfortunately I stayed in 3 different rooms whilst i was here, the first room i was staying in for 3 days and was presented with a letter by a staff member asking me to visit reception as soon as possible . This made me a bit apprehensive at the time , i was told at reception that i needed to change rooms as the maintenance needed to do some work in the room below me and they didn’t want to disturb me ... Room number 2 was an upgrade and had a much better view from the balcony ... On the morning that i was leaving at about 7.10am i could hear water gushing in the room but couldn’t see it... I run to reception dressed in only my underwear and after a few more minutes of letting the receptionist know that l will need another room to shower and get ready , I’m given A keycard to room number 3... I find a security person on my way back to the old room to collect the rest of my belongings and explain to him what has happened , he comes into the room and manages to stop the flow of water... To this day i have not had an apology from anyone at the hotel and was told at reception when I was checking out that I didn’t have to pay for the extra room... In my experience here i would say that the rooms are not 5 star and would downgrade this hotel to a 3/4 star as it certainly needs an upgrade and major maintenance work...

...My room was amazing, which is effectively a small villa which was a 2 minute walk from the most amazing beach I have walked in my 50 years...

...Our room was a side sea view , it was lovely, just what we wanted , we did have a problem with our sink one day , but it was rectified as soon as we mentioned it ...

...Rooms built on two floors only and lots of vegetation...

...Was fantastic, good accommodation rooms cleaned and bed linen changed daily along with fresh towels...

...The room are basic but large, air conditioned and cleaned well everyday. We got a side view room 2609 the others 2610 2611 did not have as good a view but to be honest only used rooms for sleep and changing...

...Our room was cleaned everyday, the bar staff would make drinks specific to your requests and the entertainment team were brilliant - Super entertaining but also left you alone if you wanted to stay out of the many activities such as beach volleyball, darts and Zumba!... Speaking of which, the hotel had set up a conference room with a private bar which had snacks like crisps, olives and popcorn, that showed every single World Cup match...

Our stay was generally good but a few things could have improved it... The rooms were made up each day with a nice touch of towel animals etc... We couldn't use our balcony (room 2706) because of this and the fact that it was a haven for mosquitoes as it was side facing so got no breeze...

...The rooms are nothing special, just bed and bathroom...

Fantastic hotel, incredibly clean and staff were very friendly...

This is not a traditional hotel as we know it its laid out over quite a large area made up of several apartment blocks roughly 300 rooms in total so a good size I chose this hotel because of its extensive daytime activities programme waterpolo, darts, aqua aerobics, zumba to name but a few one can never get bored English is not widely spoken among the staff but they so their best. Rooms are spotlessly clean and well serviced...

...Our room as others have said was basic but very clean & in with the character of the hotel, it had everything we wanted except a kettle for tea or coffee in the room,( we found out too late we could actually ask for this) & perhaps a better hairdryer but nothing else, the beds were comfortable & made daily, towels were replaced & the welcoming flowers were a lovely touch...

...Allways seem to be in a good mood: must be the weather 😀 Nice room: not the most modern, but clean, comfortable and everything works...

...Rooms at Iberostar Boa Vista are relaxing, the bed was one of the best we've slept in. Modern, bright and clean decor throughout... We dearly wish we knew about this hotel when booking...

...To sum up it was great value and I would highly recommend the Iberostar for a relaxing break in the sun...

...All inclusive, sort of, one has to know what one’s getting...

...We booked the restaurant for our last night fish was over cooked, the steak was so tuff you had to use your knife like a saw... All we got was a sorry no offer of something else... When paying at reception again all we got was a sorry but still charged the full amount...

...Safe is 20 euro to hire, iron is available to hire with a 10 euro deposit...

...The alternative restaurant you pay for at e55 each, we did have a lovely Valentines meal there, by far the best meal of the holiday... Wine was poor, worth buying a bottle in the restaurant...

...We used the spa , and got 2 hours in the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and pool all to ourselves, and all for only a few euros each, which was such a treat ...

...Whilst it isn't Michelin quality, it is certainly at a very acceptable level...

...Unfortunately I stayed in 3 different rooms whilst i was here, the first room i was staying in for 3 days and was presented with a letter by a staff member asking me to visit reception as soon as possible ...

...The airport is near although you can’t hear it, a taxi is in €5 and best way to transfer... The is a charge for the safe, which is a little outdated but still only €20...

...The safe you have to pay for I believe, which is a very outdated practice which we didn't experience in any of our other 11 hotels. Wine was really awful, not drinkable if you value you stomach lining!...

...It’s less than three stars at best... I won’t share the details of what was seen but I spent a week on chips and bread The drinks are all inclusive standard...

...“Most inclusive” minus would be more honest… Would still come here again, but these are simple things dat really detract from an otherwise great resort: Iberostar it’s not worth the extra money!...

...The restaurant is very hectic and busy too small for the number of people using it the staff are too slow in clearing and relaying tables (although I'm.dure they're doing their best) quite often nowhere to sit as no laid up tables the food is a different type of cuisine everynight but quite often overcooked as it quite common with buffet as the food's cooked then kept warm I don't drink so can't comment on the quality of the available alcohol as I'm teetotal but the fruit juices are watered down dnd quite unpleasant...

...We decided not to book airport transfers, there are plenty of good taxis waiting outside the airport charging approximately 10€, it’s a short 5/10 minute trip as opposed to waiting around & numerous drops by the coaches...

...Modern, bright and clean decor throughout... We dearly wish we knew about this hotel when booking...

...While I agree this is not 5 star as you would expect in Europe, the hotel was very clean, the rooms were nice and the food was excellent, always lots of choice even for fussy eaters...

...Room was fine minor point could not get the TV to work , but otherwise clean and functional cleaned every day .Food excellent great choices every evening , drinks nice that there were branded drinks unlike some all inclusive hotels ...

...Rooms are lovely and clean and the pace is so relaxing. A well needed holiday that exceeded our expectations because everything at the hotel was amazing...

...Was spacious and very clean with a lovely balcony...

From start to finish this hotel has been on point... Water is available freely around the resort from machines... The staff are always busying around the grounds tidying and keeping things ship shape, again very friendly with a hola!... Room was cleaned everyday, came stocked with shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser...

...The site, cleaning staff , restaurant and animation teams work hard...

...Bedding and towels were changed everyday and the housekeepers always left us some lovely “ towel art” sprinkled with fresh petals, it really made us feel special The complex itself sits on a cliff over looking the most stunning beach that stretches as far as the eye can see , a real bit of paradise...

...Was fantastic, good accommodation rooms cleaned and bed linen changed daily along with fresh towels...

Cannot fault this hotel at all, immaculately clean, well presented and everything’s convenient, the food is beautiful and fresh and a great choice every day...

...Clean, comfortable with efficient friendly staff and food to suit everyone...

...Spotlessly clean, great staff in every area and lovely location and facilities... The room are basic but large, air conditioned and cleaned well everyday...

Professional friendly staff, accommodation clean and comfortable, hotel grounds beautifully maintained...

...Our room was cleaned everyday, the bar staff would make drinks specific to your requests and the entertainment team were brilliant - Super entertaining but also left you alone if you wanted to stay out of the many activities such as beach volleyball, darts and Zumba!... The beautiful beach, spotless pools and great staff make is such a relaxing place to stay, as everyone on the island says.. ‘No stress’!...

...The rooms were made up each day with a nice touch of towel animals etc. The resort has beautiful flowers around the paths and the water dispensers are a fantastic idea... Towels were left for use if we hung them up which I really liked - lots of hotel staff change them every day which is not necessary in my opinion... I highly doubt people change them every day at home when they're doing the washing!...

...The hotel was very clean the staff were nice and welcoming. The pools were kept very clean each day and throughout the day...

Fantastic hotel, incredibly clean and staff were very friendly...

...Staff is really nice here and resort offered great trips around the island...

What a wonderful hotel, you have a first class service from every member of staff. It is impossible to pick out one member of the staff because each and everyone of the 185 people that work at the Iberostar Boa Vista hotel give you nothing less than a first class service... We has a family can highly recommend this hotel, thank you for a wonderful stay and sincere thanks to all the staff...

...We booked the restaurant for our last night fish was over cooked, the steak was so tuff you had to use your knife like a saw. They replaced my wife's but not mine the replacement was just as bad and got sent back again... All we got was a sorry no offer of something else... When paying at reception again all we got was a sorry but still charged the full amount...

...What made this hotel and holiday was the staff- I couldn’t help but smile all the way through the holiday as the smiles and friendliness of everyone was infectious. Huge shout out to all the staff especially those in the restaurant and the wonderful animation team... Fabio and staff at the bar were funny and friendly Paulo,Eddie and the rest of the animation team were so full of energy and would make sure everyone was having a great time... Whether you are relaxing or active staff at just as attentive to everyone... Rooms are lovely and clean and the pace is so relaxing... A well needed holiday that exceeded our expectations because everything at the hotel was amazing...

Where do I start….this place was amazing effect for a relaxing week away, amazing location, fab weather, lovely food (lots of choice) and lovely staff & service!...

...We didn’t have the best of weather but aside from that, there was no comparison with Sabila... The food was ok, but plates were cold and food often not as hot as we would have liked... The site, cleaning staff , restaurant and animation teams work hard...

From start to finish this hotel has been on point. The staff are all so friendly and work tirelessly to keep you entertained... Water is available freely around the resort from machines... The staff are always busying around the grounds tidying and keeping things ship shape, again very friendly with a hola!... Room was cleaned everyday, came stocked with shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser... There is a fridge in the room to keep your water cool... I don’t know if it was the time of year but the hotel wasn’t crammed with people, we never struggled for a nice table or queued at any of the bars... ATM on site, didn’t work the day we wanted to use it but the lovely lady at reception changed money for us... There is a shuttle from the hotel to Sal Rei, I don’t recommend going there without a tour guide... We hid in a bar until the shuttle came back for us in the end!...

From the minute we arrived here we were greeted with some of the nicest people we have ever met . From managers , receptionists, bar , waiting staff , chefs , housekeepers, gardeners, even maintenance men were all so friendly ... The animation team were excellent, and work tirelessly throughout the day to keep everyone entertained around the pool , and even have time to put on some wonderful shows in the evening ... Our room was a side sea view , it was lovely, just what we wanted , we did have a problem with our sink one day , but it was rectified as soon as we mentioned it ... Bedding and towels were changed everyday and the housekeepers always left us some lovely “ towel art” sprinkled with fresh petals, it really made us feel special The complex itself sits on a cliff over looking the most stunning beach that stretches as far as the eye can see , a real bit of paradise... We used the spa , and got 2 hours in the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and pool all to ourselves, and all for only a few euros each, which was such a treat ... We booked a 2 hour trip through the hotel to go on a beach buggy with Quad Zone , what an experience, we loved it ... The nearby town of Sal rei is about a 10 minute taxi ride away , and again is full of lovely friendly people , who seem so happy that you are there ...

The good points about this hotel stay from my experience were most of the staff that i came into contact with were very accommodating... This made me a bit apprehensive at the time , i was told at reception that i needed to change rooms as the maintenance needed to do some work in the room below me and they didn’t want to disturb me ... At this point i run to the phone and call reception who inform me that someone will come at 8am as there is nobody available at the moment... I run to reception dressed in only my underwear and after a few more minutes of letting the receptionist know that l will need another room to shower and get ready , I’m given A keycard to room number 3... I find a security person on my way back to the old room to collect the rest of my belongings and explain to him what has happened , he comes into the room and manages to stop the flow of water...

...Clean, comfortable with efficient friendly staff and food to suit everyone... The swimnming pool was great and decent for swimming in... I liked the water chillers eveywhere and the glass bottles to refill... We booked independently and had to re-arrange our booking at the 11th hour because our flights changed and call centre very helpful in sorting...

...Was fantastic, good accommodation rooms cleaned and bed linen changed daily along with fresh towels... All the staff are very friendly and helpful Animation team were brilliant working hard from morning till night entering everybody and getting us to take part in all sorts of activities Just brilliant, will be back soon...

Cannot fault this hotel at all, immaculately clean, well presented and everything’s convenient, the food is beautiful and fresh and a great choice every day... The staff are superb and always greet you with a smile... It’s also available at breakfast which is a nice touch... All in all a lovely holiday in a beautiful hotel with superb staff...

...Fabulous hotel and the staff are amazing... Congratulations to Marisa for managing to get an old man on the dance floor!...

Professional friendly staff, accommodation clean and comfortable, hotel grounds beautifully maintained... The manager was always around checking in with the guests to confirm all ok. Travelling home today and will be sad to go...

thanks to all staff for a STRESS FREE 2 weeks...

...Such a lovely, friendly and relaxing hotel... Our room was cleaned everyday, the bar staff would make drinks specific to your requests and the entertainment team were brilliant - Super entertaining but also left you alone if you wanted to stay out of the many activities such as beach volleyball, darts and Zumba!... I’d like to give a special mention to Elio in reception, he was extremely helpful and really went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed.... Speaking of which, the hotel had set up a conference room with a private bar which had snacks like crisps, olives and popcorn, that showed every single World Cup match...

Staff were generally really nice and always smiling... Towels were left for use if we hung them up which I really liked - lots of hotel staff change them every day which is not necessary in my opinion... We reported to reception but nothing was ever done... There is a fridge near the reception bar with sandwiches etc...

...The restaurants and bars are always buzzing I spoke to the hotel manager several times about the poor standards and poor service and her solution was.. .. if you don’t like it then leave!!!...

...Fantastic hotel, incredibly clean and staff were very friendly. The entrainment staff worked very hard and always had a smiles on their faces...

...The hotel was very clean the staff were nice and welcoming. The pools were kept very clean each day and throughout the day... I would definitely stay again especially if I was travelling alone...

...Rooms are spotlessly clean and well serviced... The restaurant is very hectic and busy too small for the number of people using it the staff are too slow in clearing and relaying tables (although I'm.dure they're doing their best) quite often nowhere to sit as no laid up tables the food is a different type of cuisine everynight but quite often overcooked as it quite common with buffet as the food's cooked then kept warm I don't drink so can't comment on the quality of the available alcohol as I'm teetotal but the fruit juices are watered down dnd quite unpleasant... I had a hot stone massage in the nitel spa area the masseuse Sueli was brilliant she went above and beyond znd nassaged my regilar pain area for no extra charge because she could tell I was in pain...

...The staff really couldn’t do enough for you, they were always helpful, polite and friendly & the entertainment troupe worked tirelessly every day to make sure everyone who wanted to could take part in their sometimes hilarious antics and games, an afternoon of live saxophone playing around the pool one afternoon was just beautiful. Our room as others have said was basic but very clean & in with the character of the hotel, it had everything we wanted except a kettle for tea or coffee in the room,( we found out too late we could actually ask for this) & perhaps a better hairdryer but nothing else, the beds were comfortable & made daily, towels were replaced & the welcoming flowers were a lovely touch... A lovely letter & platter of sweet treats was left for us on my birthday which was a nice surprise... Loved the iced water being available at many water dispenser stations throughout the hotel & the refill bottles available to put in the fridge in our room... The lager & wine we’re both good & available from the pumps although often around the pool waiting staff were on hand to bring drinks over, the little fruit kebabs & fresh fruit brought around mid morning was also a lovely refreshing treat in the heat although this didn’t happen every day, also there was a very good Prosecco & amazing cocktails... We decided not to book airport transfers, there are plenty of good taxis waiting outside the airport charging approximately 10€, it’s a short 5/10 minute trip as opposed to waiting around & numerous drops by the coaches...

...Lovely cats and great staff...

Big shout out to the manager Caroline and her staff team at Iberostar Boa Vista. Lovely ,personable service and great attitudes... Iberostar has a better class of guests and a much warmer, friendlier and calmer environment... Beautiful staff who are easily engaged with you and clearly enjoy working there... Saved all of our holidays considering we only had two nights remaining...

...Pleasant staff, excellent cuisine with themed dinners...

...While I agree this is not 5 star as you would expect in Europe, the hotel was very clean, the rooms were nice and the food was excellent, always lots of choice even for fussy eaters... The entertainment team at the hotel work really hard during the day and night to offer something for everyone, Please do not be put off by negative reviews, we have no complaints and we had an amazing holiday, the beaches are stunning and the sea is warm and we managed to go in for a swim every day, despite people saying on here it’s not safe!... We had so many laughs, we danced ate and drank as you would expect at an all inclusive, we would go back!...

I really enjoyed my stay in this resort. We had all inclusive and even if I am picky eater I've always found something to eat and it is not easy feat... I was able to swim every day even if there can be little windy environment... Staff is really nice here and resort offered great trips around the island...

What a wonderful hotel, you have a first class service from every member of staff. It is impossible to pick out one member of the staff because each and everyone of the 185 people that work at the Iberostar Boa Vista hotel give you nothing less than a first class service...

...In particular the entertainments team work really hard... Although our room was a bit of a walk from the main area this was an advantage as very peaceful in the evenings... Was spacious and very clean with a lovely balcony... No need to take a kettle for the room - filtered water stations are always near by for regular, chilled or hot water... Buffet was excellent and varied and all inclusive meant exactly that...

This is a one story hotel overlooking the fabulous beach which has steps down to it with a beach bar .As the sea is not really safe to swim in due to under currents a life guard was on duty The weather was good at the time but it is always breezy yet hot so watch you don't burn . Room was fine minor point could not get the TV to work , but otherwise clean and functional cleaned every day .Food excellent great choices every evening , drinks nice that there were branded drinks unlike some all inclusive hotels ... Staff were all brilliant funny entertaining especially the entertainment crew who were lovely and did great shows at night and the morning wake up dance poolside We went on a couple of trips the fire eater and drummers a must at a local bar on the beach , the bar along the beach from the hotel to the right worth a visit either by walking of get a taxi nice food ...

Where do I start….this place was amazing effect for a relaxing week away, amazing location, fab weather, lovely food (lots of choice) and lovely staff & service! I could not recommend this place enough if you want somewhere to chill, read a book by the pool (overlooking the beach) eat, drink and relax!...

From start to finish this hotel has been on point. The staff are all so friendly and work tirelessly to keep you entertained... The food is amazing, I’m not sure how anyone can say they couldn’t find anything to their liking, there are freshly cooked fish/meats, vegan and vegetarian options, old faithful pizza and chips, plenty of fresh veggies with various stews ( sorry I’m sure they’re not stews but were a similar consistency), desserts and cheeses... There is a snack bar that has meals ( paella, burgers, pizzas, chips) that goes from 11am to 6pm so need to rush back from the beach or excursion or worry you will miss lunch if your plane arrives late afternoon... Water is available freely around the resort from machines... Lovely beach bar down there, glorious views of the ocean and sand... Room was cleaned everyday, came stocked with shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser... There is a fridge in the room to keep your water cool... I don’t know if it was the time of year but the hotel wasn’t crammed with people, we never struggled for a nice table or queued at any of the bars... Safe is 20 euro to hire, iron is available to hire with a 10 euro deposit... ATM on site, didn’t work the day we wanted to use it but the lovely lady at reception changed money for us...

...The site, cleaning staff , restaurant and animation teams work hard...

The nearby town of Sal rei is about a 10 minute taxi ride away , and again is full of lovely friendly people , who seem so happy that you are there ...

...My room was amazing, which is effectively a small villa which was a 2 minute walk from the most amazing beach I have walked in my 50 years. The poolside area of the hotel is well laid out, has amazing positions to lap up the beautiful sun and has drinks flowing from two bars all day long until midnight or so... The entertainment poolside and in the evening, by way of nightly shows at 9:30pm are also brilliant... If like me, you really like your wine, I would urge you to upgrade and buy bottles each night...

...Fabulous hotel and the staff are amazing. I was very impressed with the buffet, always plenty to choose from and of very good quality, often cooked in front of you... I would recommend it for the solo traveller as there are quite a few like minded travellers, and the entertainment staff will get you involved....if you want to... The hotel has an upmarket feel to it with good live music acts, and the sax player by the pool one afternoon was a nice touch...

...There was food to suit all eating abilities the only thing i would of liked to see was gluten free bread ... Room number 2 was an upgrade and had a much better view from the balcony ...

...The resort was pretty much as expected for a 5 star all inclusive resort. Clean, comfortable with efficient friendly staff and food to suit everyone... The coffee machine in the snack bar was a magical mystery tour at times which added to our fun... The swimnming pool was great and decent for swimming in... Rooms built on two floors only and lots of vegetation... I liked the water chillers eveywhere and the glass bottles to refill...

Great place to spend Christmas! Spotlessly clean, great staff in every area and lovely location and facilities... The airport is near although you can’t hear it, a taxi is in €5 and best way to transfer... The room are basic but large, air conditioned and cleaned well everyday... The is a charge for the safe, which is a little outdated but still only €20... The restaurant is large, with plenty of choice of really fresh food for any taste... We stayed over xmas eve and the banquet was amazing, with the room set up extra nice, great food and nice wine!... The bars are good and serve everything you need, the red wine from the tap is not to my taste but the other drinks and good and plentiful... The pool area is huge, more sun beds than people!... You can get a bed anytime and no nonsense of getting up early to save beds!... Get you involved but no hassle if you want to laze in the sun... Beach volleyball, water polo if your energetic or darts and shuttle board etc if you just fancy a laugh and less effort... Overall - great weather for 6hr flight, left Gatwick in the morning and by the pool after lunch!!!... The facilities, location, food/drink and the staff are all amazing - don’t recommend much but would come back again, especially at Christmas...

...Our stay was generally good but a few things could have improved it. Good things: Beds were really comfortable and not having the AC aimed at the top of the bed meant the room was cool without having it blowing in your face during the night... The rooms were made up each day with a nice touch of towel animals etc... The resort has beautiful flowers around the paths and the water dispensers are a fantastic idea... The pool is huge and a good temperature and we didn't have an issue finding a sunbed, although on one day we took the very last two... Staff were generally really nice and always smiling... The beach is gorgeous, watching the huge waves from the pool was fun!... Towels were left for use if we hung them up which I really liked - lots of hotel staff change them every day which is not necessary in my opinion... Beer was good and cold and shorts were good... Obviously with the ovens and hot plates it's going to be warm but there are no ceiling fans to keep the air moving over the seating... There's a restaurant you can book into which we found out about from other guests, the spa wasn't explained to us and there are things such as tennis courts (we saw racquets behind reception on check out)... There is a fridge near the reception bar with sandwiches etc...

...Such a lovely, friendly and relaxing hotel... Our room was cleaned everyday, the bar staff would make drinks specific to your requests and the entertainment team were brilliant - Super entertaining but also left you alone if you wanted to stay out of the many activities such as beach volleyball, darts and Zumba!... I’d like to give a special mention to Elio in reception, he was extremely helpful and really went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed.... Speaking of which, the hotel had set up a conference room with a private bar which had snacks like crisps, olives and popcorn, that showed every single World Cup match... Overall, I would recommend this hotel to everyone!... The beautiful beach, spotless pools and great staff make is such a relaxing place to stay, as everyone on the island says.. ‘No stress’!...

...The staff really couldn’t do enough for you, they were always helpful, polite and friendly & the entertainment troupe worked tirelessly every day to make sure everyone who wanted to could take part in their sometimes hilarious antics and games, an afternoon of live saxophone playing around the pool one afternoon was just beautiful.

This is not a traditional hotel as we know it its laid out over quite a large area made up of several apartment blocks roughly 300 rooms in total so a good size I chose this hotel because of its extensive daytime activities programme waterpolo, darts, aqua aerobics, zumba to name but a few one can never get bored English is not widely spoken among the staff but they so their best. Rooms are spotlessly clean and well serviced... I'm habitually quits a bas sleeper but slept really well here... The hotel complex sports several different bars both indoor and out with various different opening times... The beach is 87 steps away from the hotel or a very long ramp there are shops on site including a mini mart for any forgotten essentials the entertainment team are brilliant they must work nigh on 16 hours a day with their daytime pool activities the evening shows and rehearsal time I'm not someone who goes back go the same place bugniv I did return to Boa Vista I would stay here again if you're looking to.book excursions I highly recommend Rotcha Tours particularly their turtle watching tour...

...What was most impressive is the staff - everyone seems to really enjoy working there , they are really helpful and smiling all the time Amenities, pool and beach was amazing... Spa was just ok - we had a free voucher and we managed to visit ( sauna / hammam / small pool and jacuzzi ) Food was ok ( breakfast / lunch / dinner ) many options and different each day...

...Lovely ,personable service and great attitudes... Iberostar has a better class of guests and a much warmer, friendlier and calmer environment... Rooms at Iberostar Boa Vista are relaxing, the bed was one of the best we've slept in... Modern, bright and clean decor throughout... Food was good, fresh and a good selection everything... Beautiful staff who are easily engaged with you and clearly enjoy working there...
