I went on a kite surfing holiday there about 15 years ago in the south of the island of Sal at a place called Santa Maria. Fab beach and perfect conditions for learning to kite surf (there was a Club Mistral windsurfing & kitesurfing place on the beach). Back then there wasn't much, and we stayed at the Belorizonte, which was OK.Since then there has been a fair bit of development, and I understand the Hilton Cabo Verde Sal resort is pretty nice.
The people were very friendly, but the island itself isn't that interesting; it's the flattest of the Cape Verde islands, and as you can probably tell from the name there are big salt pans. I prefer to go to the caribbean, but being on a similar time zone to Europe does make Cabo Verde attractive from a jet lag point of view.
