Karamboa is the one we went in last January and the only criticism I have was us only going for a week.
It’s a massive hotel but spread out and right on a lovely beach and with probably the shortest airport transfer I’ve ever had.
You literally drive out of the airport gates and straight onto the hotel access road.
sure you’ll enjoy the place and get your exercise in at the same time.
Really looking forward to it, the reviews are good.We normally seek some sun in January for my Wife's birthday ,went to Antigua last year ,that was awesome, a few showers but 28-30c every day.Boa Vista should be drier if a little cooler.

We went to Sal in September, as you say barren and at that time of year hot, but really enjoyed it.
less to do in Boa Vista but this is a lovely time of year to go to CV.
which hotel are you going to.

Enjoy some warmer sunny weather
My brother that’s been here over new years from Costa Rica is there in March looking at a business opportunity… have to let us know what you think… if they do move there will definitely visit… they left us today to stay in an air b&b near Crich for a couple of days r&r from the mayhem….
We've been twice before to Sal , it's very barren but so friendly.This time we're going to Boa Vista which is less developed.As much as like the cold in Winter ,I will take the hot sun anyday of the year

Spurry, enjoy yourselves and don’t worry about the odd flake of snow that may fall in the northwest.

A bright rather than sunny morning, but still warm enough to put the washing out.

Arrived home yesterday after spending a lovely week in Istria(Croatia),despite the doom and gloom forecasts of heavy rain throughout the med/adriatic we had a lovely week with sunshine on 6 out of 7 days,temps were reaching highs between 24-26c and it was not humid.Coming back to Wigan yesterday was really uncomfortable due to the high humidity ,but we saw some torrential rain/storms yesterday evening.Currently very warm again with garden sensor showing 22.2 c .Yesterdays high was 32.8c followed by an overnight low of 16c.

It settled on the grass earlier but the rain has washed everything away now, pretty disappointing yet again for this part of the country

Got to admit I'm a bit confused this morning(more so than usual old man confused).Looked at my weather apps including the BBC and the snowfall tomorrow/friday has downgraded to sleet ,but just seen the TV forecast from Carol Kirkwood and it still indicates a period of prolonged snowfall. Think it's just gonna be window watching

-8.5c last night , didn't quite reach the -9.8c of the night before,but still bone chillingly cold,not expecting tonight to reach anywhere near those.

Currently at -9.8c which is as low as I can recall for at least a decade
