A taxi to the resort will be no more than €8 each way €16 return) £12
Went to Cape Verde last year. There is absolutely nothing there. Got a bit bored after a week.

Im just back from Cape Verde ( Sal ) 2 weeks ago. Yes not much to do, but great place to relax. Beautiful weather, friendly local people. If bored, try truck trip around Island. I'll highly recommend this place. By the way, we've paid 2.3K for 7 nights 3 people ( xmass time ) so 430pp sounds bargain to me

Most of ships run by Chinese, u could buy marlboros 2.5-3 from them but not sure if genuine
There is only 1 price for locals and tourists so u won't be ripped off
If u r on all inclusive u won't need much money
Best think to do - truck ( toyota hilux or similar) trip round Island -€25pp

Good deal but don't forget visas and visitor tax to add on to the cost
