Disappointing overall and non-friendly staff
I was really disappointed with this hotel. I was travelling alone with my 2 year-old daughter. We booked a "family room" - which I guess has that title because it has a seperate bedroom. But our room was placed on the first floor right above one of the hotel's bars which was open until 11 PM, I believe. The windows in our room were of poor quality, so they didnt block any noise. It was SO LOUD and not quite until midnight. Not great when you are travelling with kids. After 3 nights, I couldnt take it anymore and asked for another room due to the noise. The receptionist gave me an attitude and claimed there couldnt be any noise and said he could give me a room facing the street, but that would probably be noisy as well. I told him Id rather want the street noise than the hotel bar noise (drunk all-inclusive guests are LOUD). When he finally "let me" switch rooms, I was told I could come pick up the new keys whenever I saw fit. But after an hour, when I had just put my baby down for her one hour nap, they called me and told me I had to leave my room NOW because they needed to clean it (I had been gone ALL MORNING, until noon, where they could have cleaned it). They let me stay 30 more minutes and then I had to wake up my baby, who was so tired after the poor sleep from all the night noise, she cried, and we moved all our stuff, without any help, to the other room. Poorly and unprofessionally handled from start to finish. Staff was not welcoming and food was below average.

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

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

no drinks in room fridge not even bottle of water, could not change pool towels until 4pm each day and only 1 location you could this. Some of the staff were very surly and felt that they did not want to be there. As a riu class member found this the worst Riu hotel i have stayed in. Saving grace was that the food was very good.
