5* expected but you pay for what you get !!!
It’s recently been taken over by an Italian company so be aware there are not many English people but some staff have reasonable English, Rated 5 stars, was expecting something special rooms were basis with good size quality mattress (zip connected) A/c small fridge with option to purchase a mini bar that seemed expensive at €35-€55 for what you could typically get at the bar, we had 6 led’s flashing at night that were annoying fire/tv/ac/DTV/wifi/TV, plastic garden furniture and pillows were also a low point. We did encounter mosquitoes but that sometimes experienced, use phone to calm reception and they will come if necessary, I don’t like chemicals so opted for the wet towel, from the room to amenities it’s a nice walk 2 bars and the food hall 4 or so little shops & reception, self service drinks at the snack bar never seen the drinks machines switched off, larger, soft drinks, wine ,coffee. They did local cocktails and iced slush with AI, the food overall was good in comparison to other AI holidays, didn’t use the pool but it looked ok, although around the pool were brick paving that had deteriorated and uneven, needed a dry blow would make all the difference, the sun beds needed a wash/ replacement as they most were heavily worn and certainly not in the class of 5 star, the beach was beautiful down a slight slope or 50 or so steps there is a beach bar with snacks and refreshments toilet and shower, sands go on for miles, there are around 7 cat residents that are so cute

Excellent property, service and staff was exceptional. Food was decent. They had a lot of entertainment for guests, shopping for gifts and souvenirs was available. Pools were regularly cleaned, sunloungers were cleaned at the end of the day by staff too. The only issue we had was after multiple phone calls to the spa we were not able to book an appointment because they had no availability for 2 days. The lady on the phone could not understand us and asked us to come to the spa. When we checked in went straight to the spa and she had no availability till after we checked out and that was very disappointing, had we known during our initial phone call we would had got a treatment elsewhere as that was the last place we stayed before flying. Secondly, the coffee machines in the breakfast area were bad.

I loved this hotel - it’s well laid out, beautifully kept and our room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The food in the restaurant and snack bars was all fantastic and the staff were amazing. Really friendly, polite and helpful. The entertainment team were great fun and worked hard every day and the team on the beach and by the pool in the bar and on reception were also wonderful. Pool and beach amazing. This is a fabulous hotel

So many wonderful things to say about this hotel. Amazing staff - friendly and very well able to express a number of languages - very impressive. Food was outstanding. I have never had such high quality food in an all-inclusive resort before. Huge range to cater to all diets; outstanding. I found the basic double I was in a little rustic. A TV, aircon and not much else, not even a leaflet letting me know which amenities the hotel had to offer. I thought it was a bit mercenary for the hotel to charge €40 a day for access to the room’s safe! The minibar was also chargeable but at an all Inclusive resort, I can’t see how mini bars offer any value. Boa Vista is an island in development. So flat and so windy (seriously, have never experienced anything like it). I did not find that there was much to do outside of the resort, but liked the undeveloped but clean beach. Hard to find the perfect balance…

Great voews from the pool area. Quiet rooms. Lack of information available with regards to meal times, meal theme nights, shows, drink availability, hotel details etc, no info book or tea and coffee in room. Although available at the bars, it would be nice to have a coffee before leaving the room in the morning.

The resort is on a beautiful beach with a lovely clean pool. Around the area there is very little and you need to arrange a taxi to go anywhere else. The only restaurant open in a large buffet style and this does get repetitive. The resort itself is quiet and peaceful with beautiful gardens. We used the spa and enjoyed the treatments.

Stunning beach and great value for money
All inclusive, very good value for money. We were in a suite with our 3 children overlooking the sea which was very comfortable and spacious. Children loved the food and drinks available all day. Beach is incredible but very windy, we loved it but you have to like warm wind! We walked all along the beach and there are some very impressive sand dunes that the kids loved playing in. Loads of kids games on offer with the animation team but my children don’t like this kind of thing, they preferred playing table tennis and swimming in the sea. We wanted to do some surfing but the waves are not great for this around the hotel. We went on a lovely long walk down the beach to the right to an amazing little cafe for lunch which I would highly recommend. We only stayed for 3 days as we were in Sal for the rest of the week but it was the perfect amount of time and a very beautiful location.

We went to Boa Vista for 4 days and decided to say two days in Riu Palace and two days in Iberostar. Comparing these two hotels, Iberostar loses a lot, but it’s also cheaper. Where to start... The rooms are really basic, as those of a 2-3* hotel. TV in our room wasn’t working on the first day. The shower was broken. Check-in was hectic and the person wasn’t friendly at all. Food was okay, a bit basic, however, alcohol was quite bad (apart from occasional Aperols). Wine is not drinkable at all. The hotel looks very tired and it’s quite dirty as well. We saw a family bathing a toddler wearing a diaper (hopefully clean, but you never know) in the adults swimming pool for 30 minutes - no need to mention that we lost any desire to use this pool for the next few days. The spa was very dirty - dirty cups and orange peel everywhere, toilet in the spa was disgusting. There was absolutely nothing to do at the hotel in the evening when the shows weren’t there (there are shows 5 days a week). It's definitely the worst 5* I’ve seen in my life, but would be great for a 3*resort.

Nice stay
We stayed at the iberostar wc: 29:11:19 overall we enjoyed our stay. Food and drink were decent and staff very friendly and helpful. I’m not sure it’s worth the 5 star rating but would stay there again. As a side note the hotel is 5 minutes drive from the airport ( although you don’t notice the airplanes) so transfers are very quick and cheap.

Great hotel with a large property area, beautiful flowers and greenery throughout. The beach is beautiful but it’s a bit far and have to climb up a hill to come back and there are not enough umbrellas for everyone. Otherwise it is absolutely stunning. The pools are great and are open till 8. There is smaller poop with a view of the ocean. Just stunning. I just wish they had sea water pools without so much chlorine. The food was the best. There is a huge variety and staff was very nice and allowed for guests to take food out and take it to the rooms which was great. They picked up the plates and cleared tables very fast. I just wish they served tea at dinner too, not just alcohol. The reception staff was a bit of a disappointment. When we asked the ladies at the reception any question, they just didn’t know and didn’t bother to look up the answer. We still don’t know where they held fitness classes. During the last day I tried to call and ask for someone to help with the suitcases but no one from reception picked up the phone. They just need more people and training there.
