  Relaxing and comfortable

  Stayed for one week over the New Year. Hotel is spacious spotlessly clean and staff are warm and welcoming. New Year gala dinner was exceptional, that said the food didn’t disappoint any morning or evening. Bar prices are good and staff very efficient. I asked for a high floor and view and that’s what I got, the only problem was the room was next to the lifts and lift controls and was noisy. Tried to change rooms but hotel full. Bought earplugs in the end. The balcony was huge and lovely views but the extractor chimney from kitchen above us so food smells , on New years Eve this was from very early in the morning and all through the day. My only niggle was the information given about booking tables in the bar and restaurant for New Year could have been clearer. Plenty of nice bars and eating areas outside hotel and the town a few minutes stroll away. Overall a lovely holiday, I would go back but to a different room .

  Picturesque

  Lovely hotel, super shower, lovely views from room. Food not as good as past years in other Riu Hotels, ate out a couple of times in the resort. Good for a relaxing holiday, we went for 2 weeks but a week would've been sufficient. Entertainment mediocre. Would I go back properly not. Overrated hotel chain.

  First Class

  Just returned from our third visit to this first class hotel. You are greeted warmly when you arrive and the perfection continues from there. We stayed in a standard room which was spacious, with plenty of storage, and immaculately clean. Beds are comfortable, we requested extra pillows via the Riu app and they arrived promptly. Every member of staff is friendly and helpful, especially our wonderful cleaner, Pili, who was always so cheerful and did a brilliant job. The food is very good, plenty of choices, always replenished and nice and hot. Entertainment was hit and miss, some excellent acts, Hit Bros, Hector, Elvis and ABBA and a couple not so good but perhaps that's just a matter of taste. Thank you to all the staff that make this hotel such a wonderfully relaxing place to be, we look forward to seeing you all again soon.

  Fantastic new year break

  I absolutely love this place ! From the moment you step Inside the hotel and are greeted by the friendly receptionists with a welcome drink you know you are on to a good thing! Our room was fantastic we opted for the large room and it was very spacious, well appointed with great sea views. Food was just amazing ! Breakfast and dinner ! As you enter the restaurant the friendly efficient staff show you to your table. The buffet is well stocked, plenty of choice and looks and tastes delicious. Bottles of wine are very reasonable around 13 euros for the house Rioja which was very nice New Year’s Eve was brilliant. A fantastic gala dinner we opted for the 9pm seating free wine and cava on offer too with an amazing buffet fresh seafood, meats etc. we didn’t stay for the evening entertainment instead we went to the balcon to enjoy the live music and fireworks. The hotel is well located only 10 minute walk from the balcon and lots of sea walks. All in all a truly wonderful stay. If I had one little niggle that would be that the entertainment wasn’t really for us. A couple of nights it was good but other times not so great. Only a small stage with no sound system so will always struggle to put a band for example on. Would I come back ? Oh yes! I’ve already booked for this Christmas and new year!! Can’t wait!! Thankyou to all the great staff, can’t wait to see you again this year!

  Great place to stay for a older generation

  A high quality hotel with excellent staff who accommodate all your needs. The food is of a high standard & everyone is friendly. This is an adults only hotel so be aware the average age is 65 plus.
