Clubhotel Riu Karamboa

An introduction to Clubhotel Riu Karamboa

This grand hotel is right on the beach in Praia de Salines. All Moroccan-style dome-topped buildings, it wraps up everything you'd expect from a Riu hotel in one ultra stylish package.

For a start, the swimming pool takes some beating. Set between the hotel and beach, it comes with a whirlpool bath, a swim-up bar and a pool bar. Add a sweeping sun terrace with plenty of sun loungers, parasols and complimentary towels, and it's a great alternative to the beach.

Then there's the Renova spa to consider. The list of treatments ranges from massages to beauty treatments, plus there's a sauna, a gym and a whirlpool bath.

But if you'd rather take things up a notch, the activities menu will keep you busy for hours. Daytime options include windsurfing, kayaking and beach volleyball, while evenings bring shows and live music. And if you're holidaying with kids, they're well looked after, too, thanks to a playground and a miniclub for 4 to 12s.

As for the food, you've got four restaurants to choose from, and you can expect everything from traditional Cape Verdian meals to exotic African and Asian dishes. Add themed buffets and on-the-spot cooking stations, and mealtimes are anything but ordinary.

Last but not least, there are the bedrooms to consider. They're spacious, light and airy and come well-equipped with extras like satellite TVs, air-conditioning and mini-fridges. Plus you'll get your own balcony or terrace to top it all off.

Dont worry everyone the hotels finished! We were in the 1st group of British tourists to stay in the Karamboa and the hotel was perfect for a relaxing quiet week away. The food was excellent (the speciality dishes were mainly seafood based). The rooms... more on this review
