There's nothing quite like a holiday romance, and the stars on Celebs Go Dating have been whisked off to a destination that seriously ups the stakes!

The hit dating series is almost over again for another series. However, it was fun while it lasted as fans got the opportunity to watch famous faces including Sam Thompson and Tallia Storm succeed and fail on dates.

This year, the celebrities from Gemma Collins to 'Muggy' Mike were also whisked away to a picture-perfect winter sun hotspot Cape Verde for filming, off the coast of northwest Africa.

It's no wonder the island caught the crew's attention; its white sand beaches, laidback charm and crystalline waters make for a seriously romantic backdrop.

Not to mention there are so many things to see and do in Cape Verde , there's ample opportunity to have a date of a lifetime.

Of course dating can be a stressful experience, but luckily the stars were put up in very luxurious hotels where they could unwind.

The glamorous MELIÃ Dunas Beach Resort & Spa and MELIÃ Llana Beach Resort & Spa hotels served as their base abroad, where they had access to spas, fine dining, beautiful bedrooms and, of coarse, amazing sea views.

Although we've yet to find out this series what the stars got up to when jet-setted off to sunnier shores, they've already given us a sneak peek of their glamorous surroundings on social media.

Gemma Collins gave her fans a glimpse into the beautiful Presidential Suite where she stayed - the same where Michelle Obama herself has stayed - offering a Cribs style tour of the impressive room which boasts a private hot tub, a walk-in wardobe, incredible sea views and swish interiors.

While the Presidential Suite is the epitome of luxury, the rest of the MELIA Dunas is pretty impressive too.

Amidst the busy filming schedules, the celebrities had plenty of time to unwind by the pool.
