Do yourself a favour and avoid Riu funana and tui as an operator. Tui should be ashamed to sell this place as 5 star.. it definitely is not. On arrival we were given an occupied room and when we returned to reception we were treated like we had done something wrong. The manager Omar was eventually called and the guy was obnoxious and rude. After being given another room (which appeared to be in his good will rather than something we had paid a lot of money for) we made it to dinner where on the first night all 5 people in our party became sick shortly afterwards. We lost 4 days here to violet sickness and diarrhea. Reception were virtuous enough to tell us town was just a 15 min walk away if we wanted meds as there was nothing available in the hotels shop. Starting to feel better and emerged from room, pool closed off as sickness and diarrhea outbreak. After being so ill we were Cautious with food but noticed how dirty most of the cutlery and plates were. The Food was repetitive and quite often stale / sweating. Spoke to a few other people who had had sickness and diarrhea and given the state of the hygiene across the board I am not surprised. Dirty tables, chairs, insects, flies, just mayhem. Cleaning appeared to be half arsed wipes of tables with a wet cloth. But only the one wipe across the middle of course. Do yourself a favour and save your hard earned money and go literally anywhere else. Cape Verde is a dump. Riu funana is a dump. Omar and his team are rude, obnoxious and couldn’t produce a smile between them. The tui reps are also an absolute disinterested shower.
