Riu Buenavista

We just returned from a week here, family of 4 kids 1 teen 1 under 8 in the height of school holidays in August. Room- Fabulous, really spacious, comfortable and always spotlessly clean. Air con in bedrooms was freezing though, had to get the fleece blankets out! Food- I was apprehensive due to reviews but the food was always really good. Typical all inclusive. Really didn't rate the Mandalay (chinese) ended up back in the buffet that night. The grill was our favourite, the view was outstanding and the food in the grill was the best meal we had. Breakfast was good, snack bar great if you like chips, the hotdogs weren't for us but thats personal preference. Drinks- Fabulous, really great drinks. Wine drinkable, cocktails tasty. The cruzcampo radler was delicious. We had no problem getting sunbeds, we never got the first few rows near the pool they were reserved very early but always managed 4 together even the days we headed down late. The entertainment let the hotel down for us, with it being a bit out if the way we hoped for a bit more of an evening. Kahoot every night grew abit boring, and other than the michael jackson tribute who was amazing there was limited entertainment. They really focus on the riu party. Again this was good but did feel like it was for the adults, almost rave like lol. Its a great hotel and we may return one day. Not a great hotel for children of the age I took in my opinion

Wow what a lovely place, loved every second here, such great range of food, so clean, great entertainment and great staff, we loved it so much.

We have just returned from an 8 night stay in Riu Buenavist. We have stayed before and again we were not disappointed. All staff were very friendly and always willing to help. One of the lovely bar staff name being Gaia at main reception bar was always smiling and so lovely every evening we went for a drink, a credit to riu. The pool were lovely we always went to the adult pool which was busy but lovely and quiet for relaxing. Food was faultless every time and we could not find fault. Entertainment very good and the riu party white party was so good as always. I would like to mention also the Freddie mercury tribute act was absolutely fabulous and he got the whole crowd involved. Thankyou Riu Buenavista we will most definitely be back soon.

We have just returned from a two week family holiday at this fantastic hotel. We were there with our two adult children. Upon arrival we were checked in quickly and efficiently by the friendly reception staff. Our rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. I appreciate that the food aspect of an all inclusive often divides opinion, but in our opinion the food was excellent, with lots of choice for all the family. Many of the dishes were cooked fresh in front of you and were replenished regularly. We visited all the three themed restaurants, which were all good, but probably preferred the main restaurant due to the choices available. The drinks were also very good with Amstel and Cruzcampo on tap. The cocktails were premixed, but were popular with our two sons. The Prosecco also hit the spot. There were always sunbeds available, as long as you were prepared to walk further than the first pool. There was the usual bed hogging with towels from about 6am, especially for the nearest pool. We spent all our time at the adult pool, which was very relaxed. The evening entertainment was varied and tried to cater for all the family. The obvious highlight were the Friday night parties, which were excellent. It was obvious that all the staff put so much effort into these evenings. As I say we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Buenavista and would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and would definitely return.

First of all the management team must be so proud of there staff, every department played a role in making this hotel truly amazing. from reception staff cleaning staff, restaurant staff, bar staff, and the ground staff, this was our second year in a row, and it was even better, the hotel is so well mentained, when you go for breakfast the next day you would think there was no one in the hotel the night before it's immaculate, thanks from the smith family, and see you next year
