Hotel Riu Costa del Sol

Great place to relax and enjoy a vacation with your small children. Staff was very polite and helpful. All inclusive package was definitely worth it!

Our rooms view was incredible, we sprung the extra for a junior suite. At first glance it seemed very nice, although oddly small for a “suite”. Our king bed was two twin cots put together. After three nights both my husband and I could barely walk from the back pain. When you moved in the bed I could hear the plyboard shift below me. The pillows were flat and small. I enjoyed the breakfast but found the lunch and dinner to be exactly the same at the buffet. Repetitive bland food would be my overall. The two restaurants were terrible. We tried them then decided to stick with the buffet. On the third night we had a bug problem. They did seem to take it seriously and came with raid immediately. Unfortunately, that night we had to sleep in the smell of raid as we couldn’t open doors as the bugs would come in.

Easy online check in, making easier the arrival. We arrived before check in time but room was ready, what was great. Main issue, the food. There is not huge variety, quality just there. Even offering two "special" restaurants for dinner, we tried only one, the one offering Andaluz food, that to be honest, offered same buffet available in the general restaurant for all day lunch. Not any real local experience. Then we decided to eat in the town the rest of the days. Breakfast is OK. Clean and tidy rooms, hotel very well located. Not too much to say about evening entertainment, just basic. Probably our fault, but we didn't know in advance, seems that main target clients are retirees and families with small kids, so probably not the best place for couples of our age.

Great property, very clean, great staff. This property is great for families with young kids and mature travellers especially those with mobility issues, as it offers all inclusive services. You do not need to leave the resort. For us, we ventured outside every day, trying the local foods and experiencing the culture. Overall, a great place and I recommend it.

Lovely hotel! Very friendly helpful staff. Lovely spacious rooms. We went on a family holiday for my mums 70th & they left a bottle in the room. Just a lovely touch. The food was amazing & the entertainment was fab. Something on every night. Would definitely recommend & will definitely be going back. There was never an issue finding a bed by one of the 3 outdoor pools & pepes snack bar kept your going for afternoon snacks should you heed it. Just a fabulous hotel, thank you

Location is excellent and the beach is super nice right in front. However the hotel is very basic for the money and less than what I expected from a Riu, but only have stayed in riu in Mexico. Hotel is very clean. Most staff are friendly but some not helpful at all. Nice pools and good range of bars. Food was very average to poor and very low quality/cheap materials. Wine is not even drinkable. Bedrooms are super small for a family (and we booked a suite apparently). I wouldn't return mainly because of the food and drinks but location is great.
