If you come to this resort you will come back over and over again, the food is superb, the staff is what will bring you back! From the gardening crew (Andres) that will great you every time you walk by to the amazing team of Restaurant managers Carrera, Germano, Patrik, Felix, and Herrera and our superb server Manolo, you became friends. You feel so sad to leave that you have to return to be pampered again! Amazing management. My housekeeper Rosario, I wish I could take her with me! They change your towels 2 times a day and will make your bed if you had a nap in the afternoon! Really amazing

5 star? No!
Impressive lobby Nice garden with pools Very good dinner buffet Average breakfast buffet Not bad rooms but like any B&B or 3 star hotel Apart of the lobby and the dinner buffet presentation nothing else can reminds you are in a real 5 star hotel. The high cost is mutch higher than the hotel services. If the only you are looking is to relax around the pool you can do it with less money in many other hotels in the area The staff is always friendly but the hotel needs improvements. This isn't a hotel for 5 stars

Poor aircon, evening food otherwise very nice.
Beware of inadequate aircon in the main block and wing rooms. Ours didn't get below 22 degrees the whole 10 days we were there despite leaving it on 24/7.and the outside temperature falling to 15 overnight! Apparently the villa blocks are much cooler, "freezing" even. Hard floors and thin walls mean you are reliant on other people to keep the noise down which on the whole they do, as the average age of the clientele must be 65+. Facilities, grounds and pools are all very good with lots of sunbeds and brollies available in sunnier/shadier, windy/ not so windy spots. Don't believe the "No reserving of beds" rule though, it is completely ignored by the staff and guests. Food suffers from the inherent disadvantages of the buffet format. There are plenty of cooking stations in operation, but whilst there is a wide choice (but no pineapple juice) and unlimited supply, the food is only 3/4 * quality with lots of fried meat/fish options. It works for breakfast, but is not 5* for the evening meal. The desserts were particularly disappointing, looking fabulous but all artificial and tasteless. Only the choux buns had real cream in them. The staff were friendly and generally efficient throughout. Can't comment on the entertainment as it is not our thing. If you want to eat out there are plenty of nearby options, but apparently the only really good one is Samsara.

Environmental madness!
Nice hotel but was amazed in this day and age that in 22 C heat they insist on using outdoor gas heaters in the outdoor dining areas. Nobody was asking for it and it made the experience uncomfortable. We need to stop doing this!! Poor form RIU.

Good and bad !
Great location, lovely pools, great food - wonderful variety at buffet, most of the staff very friendly. However some negatives - the overpowering use and smell of insecticide in our room - I can still smell it 2 days after leaving the hotel! Some other surprising and disappointing points (for a 5 star hotel) - no slippers provided, a charge of €22 to use the in-room safe, pillows and towels were 3-star level.

It's a lovely resort and I can't fault the staff; however, it feels like a retirement home, with the clientele being all very old people. The entertainment is all aimed at this group, with massive amounts of Credence Clearwater Revival and ABBA tributes. Despite it being half term, there was no kids club for the first two days, and then only for 90 minutes in the morning. For a family holiday, this is not ideal. There were two "menu" restaurants which felt extremely hostile to children (very haute cuisine, no accessible menu options for children) - my daughter lives in London and can happily eat in restaurants without needing some kind of crappy kids menu, but there wasn't anything remotely suitable for her here. So despite being a gorgeous resort, I don't think we will be coming back here. Also the music goes until 11pm most nights and is extremely loud (there is no double glazing and the hotel walls are very thin) - combined with elderly neighbours waking at the crack of dawn and listening to the news on TV at maximum volume, it is not as restful as it should be.

Tips for Riu
Recommend you stay here with the ocean view. The modern hotel is nearby several restaurants if you don't choose the breakfast and dinner options. There is a supermarket and shops that you can walk to if you forget something. Also, recommend you place your towel down early as chairs get taken up. You can take a cab to the entrance to the Dunes. I don't recommend you walking from this hotel to Dunes.
