Life on Sal, Cabo Verde

From tripadvisor (holiday 20 September - 4 October)http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g482848-d599817-r47362132-Riu_Funana-Santa_Maria_Sal.html


"The most distressing part of our holiday was on the last evening of our holiday, we were sitting in the reception area near the grass and a large dog started fitting right in front of us. I went straight to the representitive who was at the desk and told him. Although he reported it to reception nothing was done and it took me three attempts to get anyone to come. I was distraught and by the time they arrived it was too late. We helplessly had to just watch the poor dog die an agonising death in front of us, they eventually took it away. The staff were then out in force in their green trucks and seemed to be checking for more dead dogs, but they didn't wash the grass area down where the dog was sick and died. Within minutes a cat wandered over to the same area and also died. This confirmed our suspicion of poisoning. (fortunately no children were around at the time!). No one come to apologise to us for the distressing scene we had witnessed and nothing was done to disinfect the area. Would I stay in this Hotel again - NO"
