Riu Oliva Beach Resort

We have just returned from our 2nd stay at the hotel, we last came 2 years ago. The location is lovely, with the beach just a few steps outside the hotel. We took the bus from the airport, which took just over an hour with one change - less than €15 for 3 of us. Our 2 bed apartment in the annex was spacious & clean. There is aircon in the bedrooms although it is quite noisy so we didn’t keep it on overnight & if it had been hotter I’m not sure how effective it would have been. Our room was conveniently right opposite the restaurant - although it was quite noisy in the mornings when breakfast started! Unfortunately we had a problem with our bedroom window which took all day and several chases by my husband at reception before it was fixed. However apart from this, all staff were very friendly & helpful - in particular a waiter & chef (unfortunately I didn’t get their names) in the Canarian restaurant who assisted my daughter who has special needs when she became overwhelmed & upset. They were very kind & caring. The pools are nice although a bit cold at this time of year! It was a shame that my daughter wasn’t able to use an inflatable - the lifeguard told us it wasn’t allowed, although we had used them on our last visit. There is a decent variety of food at all meal times, and drinks are good including several cocktails. We had intended to get the bus back to the airport, but it didn’t turn up!.. so we asked reception to book a taxi for us instead which took less than 10 minutes to arrive.

The staff are fab. The location in the beach is out of this world. Incredible beach. 10-12km long. The food is fine. All inclusive - it’s adequate. Service everywhere excellent. The main hotel rooms are ok they’re in need of upgrade as are dates. The village rooms are better. Bigger. Basic insofar as tiled painted and easier to maintain but are absolutely spotless. Cleaned regularly. It’s an incredible beach which is why I’m a repeat customer - the staff also would make you return

I had a great stay at Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort. The hotel is in a great location right next the Grandes Playas de Corralejo. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Room in the Oliva Village was spacious and clean. Great food at the restaurants. However, I do believe there should be more varied selection of desserts, as they were similar each night. Also, the main building is in need of renovation. Nonetheless, I will definitely come again!

Lovely stay, staff really good and very friendly. Dated bedrooms but very clean, staff do a good clean every day. Food’s bit repetitive but you always find something to eat and we really enjoyed it. In a beautiful spot right on the beach and you can walk to corralejo but the bus stops outside too. Would go to the hotel again

Staff are always friendly. Entertainers work hard but could do with more acts coming in from outside. Few cutbacks on food. Salad bar filled with sandwiches. Otherwise great time
