“An adults-only escape with an all-inclusive spirit, it's a mixed bag. While the plentiful buffet and spacious rooms appeal, some may find service and facilities don't quite hit the five-star mark. The on-site water park and nightclub add a lively touch, but a truly serene Cape Verde experience might lie elsewhere.”
