Riu Oliva Beach Resort

We were sold this trip via TUI who advertised a family room as air conditioned, it wasn’t. The bedroom has an air conditioned vent but it is controlled centrally and we never felt the benefit. The 2 beds in the lounge have no air conditioning at all. As we were on the ground floor we couldn’t leave the door open and when asked to move rooms we were told no. The rooms are dated. There is also no WiFi in the room, only communal spaces. The rooms are tired and dated. That was the downside The location was amazing, was lovely to be right in the beach. We spent most of the time at the quieter pool as we struggled for beds in the main (smaller) pool but that was fine for us. No inflatables at all in either pool. We also only ate at the restaurant in the annexe and the food and drinks here were great. The drinks for an all inclusive were really great. The staff were friendly and helpful and if this came up in a great deal we would go back.

It’s a dated hotel but the staff & facility’s are excellent & nothing is to much trouble, food is good

Fabulous stay at this hotel. Perfect location, the beach is beautiful, gorgeous sand, just a bit wavey and chances of red flags. Staff incredibly friendly and polite. Rooms very clean, although dated still great overall (pillows not the best though). We booked a partial sea view and the view was amazing. Food was good, especially the Mandarin Restaurant (make sure you reserve early), buffet is nice but repetitive and pool snack bar is lacking, however main restaurant for lunch is much better. Drinks are great, maybe slightly limited selection compared to other resorts and also they don’t have any straws at all. Both pools were great, the annex pool seems bigger and less busy, sunbeds at both go quickly (about 8am). Hotel supplies free towels for sunbeds to be changed everyday. Can’t comment on evening entertainment as seats get taken fast, same for the top bar also. Lots of activities in the day e.g water aerobics, volleyball, archery, bingo etc. Taxi rank and bus stop outside the hotel, just a short 10 min drive to Corralejo, (taxi costs about €9) lots of shops, waterpark etc. Few shops onsite for snacks, water, souvenirs, beach toys etc and a connivence store a short walk away. Lots of excursions available via tui reps. Overall, a great stay, would go again as fab location and great value for money.

We have had a great week at the olvia beach. The staff go above and beyond and are always happy to chat to you! The food has been the best we have ever had in an all inclusive. The beach is literally on your door step! The hotel is very dated and needs upgrading but it is spotless clean. We are already looking to book to come back next year
