Let's get straight to the point: the (free, because it's all-inclusive) cocktail you absolutely must try here? The Caipirinha Kriolu, made with local rum and honey liqueur. On repeat and repeat. And that's how you get into holiday mode. But if you're looking forward to landing in the water and comfort without a care in the world, this resort is perfect. Santa Maria your answer. Royal Horizon Ponta Sino is located right on the beach, has direct beach access and more than enough large pools to float in.

You can choose from rooms with sea views, family rooms, or even rooms by a private pool, if you enjoy a bit of peace and quiet (duh, even your vacation). And thanks to the 24/7 service, there's always someone ready with a smile to offer a towel, a drink, or a tip. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Food-wise, you're truly spoiled for choice: the buffet restaurant offers a wide selection of international dishes, fresh fish, and local specialties. For a change of pace, there are also several à la carte restaurants where you can eat for free during your stay. Mediterranean classics and Cape Verdean cuisine are all on offer.

Another nice thing is that after you have checked out of your room on the day of departure, you can still use all the hotel facilities.

Ten points for the bars, which are generously represented. Here they serve not only your standard mojitos but also a number of signature cocktailsOur favorite? Still the Caipirinha Kriolu, of course. And it tastes best nowhere with your feet in the sand and the sun on your face. And if you want to alternate the luxury of the resort with a bit of adventure: the bustling center of Santa Maria is within walking distance. Perfect for an afternoon of fun, local music, or a quad bike ride over the dunes.
