Riu Palace Boavista - All Inclusive

Eddison and his team Paris, Roger and the rest of the team have been amazing. My wife has alot of allergies and we've been all around the world and NEVER been to a place where my wife hasn't been ill!! Until now!! They've done a menu to suit my wife's tastes and allergies, they've catered beautifully in a separate kitchen to avoid cross contamination atall!! Amazing so so so happy and amazed by them!! Thank you

Returned on the 28th July after two weeks this was our 8th visit to this hotel. Check in was quick and efficient, and we were in our room within ten minutes. Room was large and a very clean bathroom, shower was very large and it had two sinks and toilet. very good air conditioning and ceiling fan. We had a dip pool with a large terrace two chairs and two sun loungers and small table. Tea coffee and kettle are also provided with bottled water. There's a fridge stocked with beer and soft drinks the contents were replenished every two day. The reception area is very large with reception at one end with a coffee bar near the entrance and at the other end two restaurants Japanese and Krystal Fusion. The hotel is immaculate spotlessly clean the cleaning staff do a fantastic job in all areas. The staff are fantastic, friendly reception staff (makes a change) bars, pool area. Restaurants, cleaners, gardeners, even the security guards who don’t work for the hotel. Food was really good always hot with so much choice I didn't think it was repetitive like a lot of people say it is. Could not fault the service, branded drinks you must ask by name (Smirnoff ) or you will get the local Vodka. Baileys no longer on bar menu its coffee cream not the same. The grounds of the hotel are very clean with lots of gardeners actively maintaining the garden's weeding raking leaves and sweeping paths. The beach is beautiful lovely soft white sand can walk for miles both ways plenty of sun loungers on the beach around the three pools. The entertainment team worked hard and will have a chat and a laugh with you. The evening entertainment not great that's my opinion many people love it. We did not use the swim up bars suppose to be for For over 18s adults only but more like a children's play area at times needs to be addressed. My only complaint. We recommend this hotel, excellent food, staff very polite and friendly, will be back again in October.

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel and as normal, was amazing. All the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Food was great. We normally come just as a couple but this year, friends came with us and they enjoyed it just as much. Looking forward to booking for next year soon :)
