Riu Costa del Sol

The Hotel is like a well oiled machine, all the employees work hard to keep the place clean, and attend to serve you. Rooms are clean and functional and big ! but tired especially the bathroom. The food is hot..i was worried as reviews say food cold. But basic the chicken, and pork is sliced very thin and taste the same, chips burger pizza, pasta, salad, fish, but all massed produced, Sweets ice cream, fruit and different coloured sponges. Restaurants...be very careful what time you eat longlines form outside at breakfast and evening meals, and the staff struggle to keep the food replenished.. The Italian is great to eat in so book there as much as you can, but the Spanish is still buffet and not any different from what on offer in main restaurants. The pools get busy and you are packed in tightly. We did not use the pool bar for food so could not comment Drinks where as expected, but service is swift... all in all basic, clean, with excellent staff. Ask for level 7 or above to get views if in main building, only water in mini bar. If you like your tea, take your own Tea bags

Hotel is in good position with lots of swimming pools, no sun bed wars, lots of different bars , 24hr all inc, it’s very family oriented with loads kids to do. The only thing that lets it down is the poor food , we are regular travellers and critique most hotels but this one sadly is the worst for food we have encountered, drinks especially machine horrid cocktails are poor too, Shame as I expected more from this well known chain. We enjoyed our stay due the other amazing things this hotel offers, but please choose quality over quantity for food and drinks 😊

The hotel and accommodation was fairly good. The only thing we would criticise was the food which was very poor.

Excellent place! From a great greeting experience at the reception to fab facilities at the pool. The hotel is sooo clean and the staff is not only friendly but also hard working . Well recommend 👌

This hotel continues to be great value for money. Situated at the quieter end of the beautiful beach promenade , between Torremolinos and Malaga, it is easily reached by direct train from the airport to La Colina station, then a short walk down the hill to the hotel. The cleaning staff need to be recognised as the hotel is impecc ably clean. Food is of a consistently high quality. Some attempt has been made to accomodate coeliacs, with a separate toaster and bread option at breakfast, but it is limited and inconsistent. Some mornings a few muffins, sometimes only bread. Allergens are clearly listed above each dish, but dishes for those requiring gluten free diets are limited, for example paella lists wheat as a constituent.A simple change to another thickening agent is all that is required. The gym equipment is tired and needs replacing. A Concept 2 rowing machine would be a welcome and pretty standard addition to the exercise facilities. The in-house entertainment troop are led by a lady who needs to step back from the lead and allow others to shine, whilst the entertainers hired in, are of a good standard. All in all, some simple changes need to be made to make this a five star review.
