Hotel Description:
Looking out over endless sparkling seas, the ClubHotel Riu Garopa proudly sits alongside its sister hotel, the ClubHotel Riu Funana. A match made in heaven – this means you get the best of both worlds, enjoying the tranquil ambience here but you can also dip in and out of the Riu Funana’s extensive facilities as and when you please. That’s not to say you could ever be bored here. For a start there are the 2 serene swimming pools complete with whirlpool - you can quite easily while away day after day of blissful relaxation here. For refreshment the Mindelo swim-up bar and Mambana poolside restaurant ensure you are well-watered and fed here all day long. And if you fancy a change of scene, you’re only steps away from the glittering sands. loading...

The Hotel itself is very nice, it is clean & the food was edible, but a bit the same each day. The comments about the same cake being served every day are all true. Also, most mobile phones don't work on the island, & the hotel charges...

The worst holiday we have ever been on. This is only a 3 star hotel. The facilities were overcrowded, like margate beach on bank holiday. There were insufficient loungers on the beach and many broken. We never managed to get a seat around the pool...

A fantastic hotel, the staff can't do enough for you, the food is superb (considering they cook for 2000+ people every day), and the activities are varied. There are some down points but these aren't major:

Submitted By: Mr Michael Day
The resort is listed as a 5 star but I would only rate it as a 4 star. This is because:-
1. The hotel has 1000 rooms and you can end up being 150 meters away on the far side of the enormous complex.
2. There are no tea and coffee... read more

There's always good news and bad news. Good news first, there is far more of it.
