Our Experiences: We went to Sal Island, the most developed for tourism. The Island has crystal clear waters beach in the south and the best of all, is that the Island doesn´t have the big obstacles from Africa: No violence , no Malaria and no Tse Tse flies. (These are tough barriers for the general tourism in Africa that has prevented us of thaveling widely around the continent.)
Hotels we love and recommend: Riu Palace Santa Maria.
