Goed all in verblijf
Pros:

Een geweldig verblijf gehad, eten was lekker en gevarieerd, veel animatie, ook een stilte zwembad, kamers waren net. Alleen sanitair wat achterhaald, maar wel proper. Een aanrader.

Beau séjour
Pros:

Hôtel bien situé, personnel très agréable, toujours souriant, parlant facilement plusieurs langues. Nourriture et buffet bien faits même s'il manque de cuisine locale. Plage superbe et bel environnement. Le confort des chambres est bien sans plus.

Pros:

La plage est incroyable, la vue extraordinaire et le personnel très sympathique. L’hôtel est agréable, la nourriture très correcte et les animateurs au top! Petit bémol sur le ménage qui reste juste suffisant. Gros couac sur la sécurité : nous nous sommes fait volé les maillots de bain sur la terrasse: aucun retour de la réception ou de la direction malgré que nous les avons averti. Royal Horizon reste un super hôtel pour une semaine de repos.

Pros:

Struttura gradevole e curata nelle parti comuni (ottimo servizio ristorante e bar, camere un po' datate e, almeno quella vissuta al piano terra, piena di insetti anche di notevoli dimensioni ,ragni/scarafaggi). Gestione delle problematiche tecniche e pulizia da migliorare (sostituzione dell'interruttore salvavita per continuo stacco corrente avvenuto in due giorni e dimenticanza di asciugamani da riprendere con telefonate in reception). Nel complesso equilibrata ma si può fare di meglio senza spendere un euro in più ma soltanto gestendo al meglio l'operato del personale.

Pros:

Il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole, le camere pulite e se c'erano problemi basta avvisare la reception, disguidi con gli asciugamani in camera ma risolvibile. La camera rra doppia con letto king size dotata di ogni confort con vasca/doccia stile anni 90. L'animazione a gusto mio fantastica 2 giorni italiani 2francesi 2 capo verdiani ed 1 balerini. I balerini fanno degli spettacoli strepitosi!! Lambiente è informale ella sera ero costretta a mettere jeans e felpa o golfino e giacca (sono freddolosa!). I camerieri sono tutti gentili e rispettosi. Per chi fa il fai da te all'uscita dell'aeroporto ci sono i taxi chiedono 10 euro ma il prezzo sarebbe 5 euro!! Ho fatto il tour dell'isola e ne vale la pena lo consiglio! ! Posso solo consigliare questa struttura, buona vacanza!

Pros:

So disappointed:
1. Not enough su beda and people reserving them for HOURS and never actually using them. Change your hotel policy so sun beda cant be reserved. Simple.
2. Food was awful. Edible but just such poor quality. Clesrly clrners have been cut to keep costs down. Such a shame.
3. No smoke alarms in rooms and all the fkre extinquishers we saw were completely rushed anf useless. Not great at all!
4. Music by the pool. Dear GOD no one needs to hear Desposito 3 tomes in a row at a thousand decibels. Horrible loud, not at all relaxing.
5. Room was average. Meh.
Overall experience was totally meh. I guess all inclusive just isn't for us. We spent rest of trip in Sal Rei town and it was wonderful. Boa Vista wad such a fantastic experience. Just don't stay here if you have exacting standards!

Pros:

On a directement bien été accueillie à la réception ils font tout pour satisfaire les clients. Nous remercions d’ailleurs le petit José à la réception pour son accueil chaleureux et son professionnalisme. L’équipe d’animation était au top il y a vraiment beaucoup d’ambiance mais ils me forçaient jamais les clients à participer aux activités. La plage et la mer très propre, l’eau de mer était chaude et couleur cristalline. Il y avait aussi des danseurs professionnels grâce à qui nous avons assister à des spectacles magnifiques. La nourriture étais appétissante les services au top, ils avaient toujours le sourire. Les chambres tjrs propre et ils changeait les essuie de bain tout les jours. Nous avons passez des vacances inoubliables merci à toutes l’équipe.

Ps: le seul point négatif le wifi. C’était moyen mais bon on est pas en vacances pour rester scotché sur son téléphone.

Struttura ottima posizione
Pros:

Settimana di fine aprile, non troppo calda, molto ventosa ma nel complesso gradevole. Villaggio ben tenuto con molto personale sempre in attività per cura di tutta la struttura,sicuramente datata ma ben mantenuta. Ottima ristorazione seguita dal responsabile Mario sempre disponibile. Vacanza di relax con possibili escursioni che consiglio di fare servendosi dei taxi sti locali senza problema di lingua, italiano ben compreso. Consigliato

Pros:

Excellent séjour, cuisine délicieuse et abondante, animations au top toute la journée (sports), le soir (spectacles) et la nuit (boîte de nuit) . Il y en a pour tous les goûts, des espaces calmes d'autres avec activités. Personnel extrêmement gentil et serviable. Parfait pour les familles. Météo superbe en février. Aéroport juste à côté sans aucune nuisance. Plages magnifiques. Excursions en quad ou jeep, location de vélos électriques pouvant rouler sur la plage. Wifi gratuit fonctionne très bien à côté de la réception. Je recommande vivement.

Keine Bettenburg...
Pros:

...sondern kleine, zweistöckige Gebäude in die Dünen gebaut. Wir waren für drei Nächte hier, das Zimmer war sauber und ruhig, das Essen gut, wenn auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt wenig abwechslungsreich. Das Personal war immer freundlich. Wir haben unsere Wahl nicht bereut.

Vacanza all'insegna del relax.
Pros:

Abbiamo soggiornato tra l'8 e il 15 marzo ,ho trovato tutto come già anticipato dalle recensioni che ci hanno preceduto.
Come tutti hanno sottolineato le camere un pochino datate ma grandi e confortevoli.
Il mangiare perfettamente in linea con gli standard internazionali e superiori come varietà e novità. L' animazione senza stress fa il suo lavoro molto bene . Spiaggia infinita dal fascino tropicale ,incantevole . Per ultimo dobbiamo parlare del vento che ci ha accompagnato per tutta la villeggiatura non forte ma attenzione alle scottature in quanto appunto il vento ti fa dimenticare di proteggerti.... Vacanza splendida.
