We went on holiday with friends , a party of four .We have just returned after two fabulous weeks in the sun. We had a good flight out & booked extra leg room seats and from getting off the plane everything went really well we were only on the transfer bus 20 mins ,the check in was very quick &... More

Stayed here May 7 to 14, 2013. Having endured the (delayed) six hour flight from Birmingham it was with considerable anticipation, and not a little tiredness, that we checked in at the hotel. A welcoming drink was greatly appreciated as we queued at reception, but the whole check-in/registering process was very quick and, having placed labels on our luggage to... More

We just got home from a 1 week holiday (7.5.13 - 14.5.13) at the Riu Funana and I honestly wish we’d booked 2 weeks. It was AMAZING! The resort was immaculately clean and tidy and the staff were the most helpful people I have ever encountered, they literally couldn't do enough for you and most of them were multi lingual,... More

Just returned from a one week trip to the riu funana in Cape Verde. I wanted to write an honest review of our experience of the holiday as a whole. Pros: the hotel and hotel grounds are fabulous everything is kept spotlessly clean and the staff work very hard and are friendly and approachable. The restaurant selection is good and... More

We stayed at the RIU Funana for 7 nights 2-9/5/13 in a standard room facing the gardens. The complex is very big but facilities relatively small in comparison. Overall the hotel was good - the rooms were basic but clean, and beds/pillows very comfortable. The food was average but plenty of it - but often not as hot as it... More

Nice hotel. Rooms are very good and clean. More than enough space at the pool as well as the beach. Friendly staff. Only improvement area is the food, which contains of a a lot of fried stuff. If you're trying to live a healthy life, you need to take care of what you eat over here or pay a bit... More

Cool is definitely something that springs to mind, a cover up in the day sometimes and definitely the evening is a must. The wind is the cooling factor. The Funana was a great hotel and ideal for people who don't want alot of children running around on their holiday, yes, there was an older generation of clientele but not like... More

My husband and I stayed at the Funana for 1 week for our Honeymoon in June/July 2011. We had a fantastic time! The staff at the hotel are extremely friendly and courteous and nothing was a problem for them. The hotel grounds were great for a quiet walk after dinner or a stroll along the beach (right outside of the... More

Just come back from a week in heaven! The first thing I should mention is the this hotel part of a bigger Riu complex incorporating the Riu Funana and the Riu Garopa. Both hotels have their own facilities, pools, restaurants, bars etc, but as a guest you can use any of the facilities in either of the hotels. That means... More
