An introduction to Clubhotel Riu Garopa

Looking out over endless sparkling seas, the ClubHotel Riu Garopa proudly sits alongside its sister hotel, the Clubhotel Riu Funana. A match made in heaven – this means you get the best of both worlds, enjoying the tranquil ambience here but you can also dip in and out of the Clubhotel Riu Funana's extensive facilities as and when you please. That's not to say you could ever be bored here. For a start there are the two serene swimming pools, with integrated whirlpool - you can quite easily while away day after day of blissful relaxation here. For refreshment the Mindelo pool and swim-up bar and Mambana poolside restaurant ensure you are well-watered and fed here all day long. And if you fancy a change of scene, you're only steps away from the glittering sands.
The airy lobby, which spills out into the landscaped grounds is filled with North African furnishings and is the perfect spot morning, noon or night to sit on a plump chair with a chilled glass of your favourite tipple.
