We stayed at the hotel from the 29th June - 10th July. My experience… Firstly, the food is okay but there is definitely a need for more theme nights/change. I understand there are themed restaurants but it can sometimes be hard to book this. Regarding the entertainment myself and my family cannot fault the team. I want to give a special mention to Cuba (hope I got his name) he is absolutely fantastic at what he does and also has great banter. Cuba really is an asset to the RIU team and I am also impressed at the effort but the team as a whole to learn guest names. The swimming pool is lovely but I think another one could be needed as it does get overcrowded during hot times (understandable). In relation to the rooms they are really nice and very clean there is one cleaner in particular who again is an asset and is clearly passionate about what she does. Finally, most of the reception team are helpful and fantastic, however, I did find a couple of them a little grumpy. Overall, thank you for a well needed break❤️

First time in a RUI hotel and mixed thoughts to be fair, the check in was easy and quick and very welcoming :) the rooms are very nice clean comfy and lots of space lovely pool garden view, the food was meh to be honestly a lot of choice but mostly all the same each night and day time not much changed in food choices like theme nights in the restaurant it self! The pool is lovely and warm but around the pool never got cleaned all the time we was there very dirty floor! Only aloud lilos in the small area of the pool which doesn’t have enough space! The entertainment was ok 👌🏻

“Great Holiday Overall – Just Needs More Food Variety”

We stayed at this hotel a couple of weeks ago and, overall, had a lovely holiday. The hotel itself is very well maintained. The grounds and gardens are beautifully kept, the pool was always clean, warm, and a great place to relax, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job. Our room was cleaned every day, and we received fresh towels daily, which was much appreciated. The room itself was comfortable but starting to show its age. The shower temperature constantly fluctuated between hot, cold, and very hot, which made it difficult to use comfortably. There were also a few areas in the bathroom, such as the silicone sealant, that could do with a more thorough clean or some maintenance. The biggest disappointment was the food. While there was plenty available, the buffet became quite repetitive, particularly at lunch and dinner, where the same dishes seemed to appear most days. There were also two themed restaurants, which helped provide some variety. The drinks were a bit mixed. The mojitos were enjoyable, but some of the machine-made cocktails, such as the piña colada, weren’t particularly good. The beer advertised as Amstel also didn’t taste like Amstel, which was a little disappointing. There was a 24-hour food outlet, which was a nice idea, but the selection was quite limited. It would have been great to have more snack options available throughout the day, rather than just a small choice of food. Overall, despite a few areas that could be improved, we had a very enjoyable stay. The cleanliness, friendly atmosphere, beautiful grounds, and excellent housekeeping really stood out. If the hotel refreshed the rooms, improved the consistency and variety of the food, and expanded the snack and drink options, it would be an even better experience.I
