Find Family Hotels in Boaventura

"LOVED my stay here. Will definitely go back"

"We booked here very last minute for a 4 night stay in January. We've previously stayed at Hotel Riu in Gran Canaria so wanted to use them again. It was very good value for money and breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks were included. I liked the fact that you could get drinks at any time so tea, coffee etc. was in abundance. The food is similar to other Riu hotel and you just have to find the "specials" for the day, e.g. fish. Staff were friendly and helped us book an excursion to see the island. Due to the time we went, there were only a few children there. Rooms were very spacious and the shower pressure was very good. The set up of the bathroom meant that water didn't go everywhere when showering. As the Sun hit the room we were in everyday, it did get hot and the air con never seemed like it could get the room cold enough. Luckily, there was also a ceiling fan. "

"Dream of a place with exceptional staff. Room with fabulous views and lovely dining area. My only problem was finding my way around the site, but that could just be senility! There for my 75th birthday "

"It was a nice quite property with an amazing view of the ocean. The hotel has its own shuttle service that can take you to Funchal but also across the street is public bus that is more frequent. Close by is also a swimming area as well as snorkeling equipment rental that you could get to jump in the ocean. The property has nice clean pools, sauna, spa and hammam which we really enjoy. "

"Great place. It would be nice if they got a hot tub"

"Property was clean, well kept."

"Make sure to upgrade to the pricier rooms, definitely worth it. Otherwise go elsewhere "

"Our time at this resort was absolutely amazing! We were a little worried because of the mixed reviews but we had a great time. Some reviews said that the food was horrible, but keep in mind you are booking a fairly cheap all inclusive resort so you can't expect Michelin star dining. As not food critiques, we thought the food was great! We were worried because we saw in reviews that the all inclusive package doesn't actually include ALL food and drinks, however, everything is very well labelled on menus so you know what is included. The staff also always mentioned what was included in the all inclusive. The buffet is completely included, and the other two restaurants that you have to reserve state on their menus what you can order. Reviews said that only pre-mixed cocktails were included, but the list of drinks available was very extensive. I have put a photo of the all inclusive drink list on this review. The staff was super nice, the room was clean and we had booked a double bed, but it was huge, more like the size of a California king. There was entertainment every night and daily activities that were free to participate in. The saunas in the spa are also free to use, but booking a massage is extra. We took a Bolt to and from the airport and it was only 40 euros each way. All the beach chairs on the resort are free to use, but the ones on the beach cost 2 euros for a whole day to book (we didn't feel a need to do this). "

"Very nicely designed hotel in a fantastic location. Breakfast buffet also very good - the best scrambled eggs on a buffet ever!"
