we went to the other part (boa vista?), big all inclusive Riu hotel that looks like a big sandcastle. a weeks worth of cocktails and food whenever you want it may sound good (and it was), but dont think id go back.
as bigjohn says, its just featureless desert really. lovely white sand but you could only go in the sea 50% of the time as the red flags were out the rest of the time due to the large waves/currents.
wifes always badgering to go back as its further south than canaries (6hr flight rather than 4), so hotter late into the season, but id just be bored if i went back.
and yes, we went for an hours walk along the beach to the nearest ‘town’ and were badgered and almost locked in a shop until we bought something.
if you just want sun, hotel swimming pools, and eating and drinking as much as you like tho, go for it.
EDIT: jusr re-read OP, i think a fortnight would do my nut in 🙂 OTOH, a mate of mine goes for the wind/kite surfing or whatever it is, so its good if youre into that due to the rougher sea.
