Melia Tortugua winter sun

I was aprehensive about Cape Verde as there are so many mixed reviews, but can honestly say I was pleasently surprised and would definitely go back.  We travelled February half term after leaving snow behind in the UK we arrives to 30 c heat in Cape Verde and a breeze it was beautiful. The hotel was set on the most amazing sandy beach stretch as far as you can see and an area where the sea.had been secluded to make it less choppy.  The hotel has a couple of pools, warmish not hot, my child loved them and a decent kids club and disco. Our room was spot on, 2 bedrooms and a lounge with a big terrace and 2 bathrooms very quiet location. As the sun went down a DJ played chilled out music in the beach which I have to say was my highlight, sipping cocktails listening to music, kids running around on the beach in the sunset was very very lovely. Food, to be honest the whole island is so baron I don't think anything was local but all shipped in, for that reason the choice was fine, not the best part of holiday but being a buffet you could always find something, even for kids. It was a.nice change from the Canaries. People moaned about the food and how quiet the location was, if you are looking for a wild holiday you would be disappointed. If you are looking for sun, heat, comfort and chill out with just enough entertainment to keep kids happy then you won't be disappointed.
