First time we have been to Cape Verde & we absolutely loved it,we went for one week.We are trying to book again for this year with our freinds, that's how much we liked it. First the flight which we were not looking forward to, but at the last minute we booked the extra leg room seats well worth the money... More

The 6hrs 40min flight plus a 45mins delay didn't start the holiday the way we wanted But on landing the holiday started in ernest. Transfere was a dream ...less than an hour from landing to sitting by the pool with a drink! The staff were in... More

Just returned from fabulous two weeks at the Karamboa. Staff are brilliant - 13 on reception on check in! - who actually WANT to attend to you.
