The hotel is greatly located in the area from which it is an easy walk to the railway station, shopping, restaurants, etc. The food is tasty and there were lots of choices. The staff is helpful. The entertainment team is trying to make people happy. The bars , especially the one next to the reception, are excellent. The coffee is amazing. Thank you.

Average hotel with average facilities.
The hotel was average at best. The drinks menu was ok, limited options and cocktails were all pre mixes. The food did not hang together, it was all random options so hard to make a meal. The restaurants were just buffets, in fact the Spanish option was exactly the same as the main buffet! Really disappointed. The hair dryer didn’t work, after 2 mins it cut out and then when I asked for someone to look at it they simply stated ‘it’s rubbish we know, it over heats’ - great! Kids club was good, it operated 10.30 - 12.45 and then 2.30 - 4pm. Our son enjoyed it. He would have liked to be involved in the games but was told you need to be 13 to play darts with rubber arrows, bit disappointing. Overall a basic hotel with basic facilities. It was expensive for what you got! Oh and there is NO waterpark, it says ‘free water park access’ as if there is a water park, there is not, it’s a baby splash park, again very misleading and disappointing

Beautiful hotel. The pools are gorgeous and it is right across from an amazing beach. The food was really good, although after 10 days it was getting pretty repetitive. There were always tables available in the restaurant and chairs in the pool. Unlike other Riu all inclusive that we have been to, there were no waiters/waitresses to serve drinks at the bars or the pools which was unusual, but other than that it was wonderful.

Honest review
Our room was next to the ladies toilet on the ground floor so experienced constant loud noise whenever someone used the hand dryer. The gym had very limited and dated equipment and was very hot most of the time. There were no activities post 2230hrs in the hotel apart from drinking at the bar. We therefore had to venture out of the hotel for anything post 2230hrs.

Creepy receptionist and very poor stay
Started off with an unpleasant welcome as a late arrival as the hotel couldn’t find my booking so was just told to wait. The check in guy at reception was deliberately unhelpful, talking over me every time I spoke and refusing any suggestion that would enable me to get my room. Eventually I had to pay twice to get my room. My room had no WiFi, the key cards didn’t work, the shower head was shoulder height as I was put in a disabled room, which couldn’t actually be accessed by wheelchair, the room was very tired and worn out, I paid for all inclusive but given the late arrival and faff by the hotel I was told I had 10 mins to eat before they closed for the night, the staff were unable to tell me if I had been charged twice or not and I’d need to speak to the manager as they had no idea, but they don’t have a manager who works after 5pm - in a hotel whereby the main service is provided at night. In the morning I asked to speak to the manager yet wasn’t allowed. When I checked out with a different lady the very rude and strange guy who checked me just stared at me even though he wasn’t dealing with me then walked over pointing scissors at me. A really odd bloke who has no place in hospitality.
