Barlavento Islands, Cape Verde hotel rooms at the Independent

"Hôtel EXCELLENT à tous niveaux, je n'ai rien trouvé de négatif!!!"

"Everything about this hotel was great. If you are coming to Verde, definitely stay here"

"Beach view room provided partial beach view at best. Rooms dark, still in 80's style. Breakfast good, La Tortue is nice restaurant. Several pools with a lot of chairs, in and out of shade."

"I wouldn’t recommend the hamburger other than that all first class"

"Fabulous resort, we had such an amazing time! Staff are all so lovely & helpful, they were very accommodating with my partners allergies as well."

"Room was clean and comfortable. Screen door allowed me to sleep with the air off and listening to the winds blow thru the palm trees. Very relaxing. Food was good with plenty of options and beach also nice. Not a fan of the wind blockers around all the beach loungers' as it blocks the view and people are right next to each other. I like my space. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed the resort. "

"A great, breakfast very good, amazing bed, awesome shower, reception staff great"

"I am Pedro Ramos. Everything in the Riu Palace is the best."

"Staff was great and friendly, location was great. Just a few blocks from the beach and the boardwalk."
