After the room was cleaned, we had to request clean towels several times. The housekeeping staff never brought clean towels to the room. During meals at the buffet, we often had to wait for drink cups or silverware.

Hotel spotlessly clean, food varied and really good. Pools and beach had plenty of sunloungers, plenty of shade. Staff polite and friendly. Minor problem with light switch in room was solved in half an hour. Everything you'd expect from a Riu hotel.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Barlavento Islands during the COVID-19 outbreak?

  • Before you lock in a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites.
  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes.
  • To reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to take it out of your bag for screening.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
