Lovely 4* hotel on the seafront. The staff were fantastic and so attentive. The heated outdoor pool was a real bonus, the food was good with plenty of choice, lots of entertainment all day and a show every night. I would recommend this hotel it’s for everyone

A hotel to recommend

Nice hotel, excellent location, kind and helpful staff, good food. The main entertainment hall is however too dark and feels cold there. Also it would be nice with a dance floor so guests not only watch music shows but can actively enjoy them.

Overall good. But was expecting better

Taxi from airport plentiful, €22 and about 10 minutes Hotel reception and staff excellent. Speedy and super friendly and helpful Room good, clean and spacious, tea and coffee kettle etc.in room. Also hairdryer and hand wash &shower gel Beds huge and comfy No English channels at all on T.V 3 swimming pool's + a baby pool + 1 indoor pool in sauna gym area Great gym and no one pestering for you to use the Spa Animation team work hard day and night but entertainment a little poor Food not brilliant always very salty especially the soups Lot's of oily deep fried and nothing exceptional. Breakfast was probably the best for choice and freshness Italian restaurant was limited choices fish.pork or spinach lasagne self serve starters and desert and no nicer wine's Spanish restaurant was all self service and not really any different to the main buffet restaurant ,which was just noisy and chaotic. Drinks okay, wine was never really cold but drinkable. All in all an okay hotel but nothing spent on luxury. No cushions on the chairs, no nice cocktails or juices. Everything made in machines with syrups etc. I did expect a little more from a Rui hotel but nothing was that bad.

Easy online check in, making easier the arrival. We arrived before check in time but room was ready, what was great. Main issue, the food. There is not huge variety, quality just there. Even offering two "special" restaurants for dinner, we tried only one, the one offering Andaluz food, that to be honest, offered same buffet available in the general restaurant for all day lunch. Not any real local experience. Then we decided to eat in the town the rest of the days. Breakfast is OK. Clean and tidy rooms, hotel very well located. Not too much to say about evening entertainment, just basic. Probably our fault, but we didn't know in advance, seems that main target clients are retirees and families with small kids, so probably not the best place for couples of our age.

Average hotel with average facilities.

The hotel was average at best. The drinks menu was ok, limited options and cocktails were all pre mixes. The food did not hang together, it was all random options so hard to make a meal. The restaurants were just buffets, in fact the Spanish option was exactly the same as the main buffet! Really disappointed. The hair dryer didn’t work, after 2 mins it cut out and then when I asked for someone to look at it they simply stated ‘it’s rubbish we know, it over heats’ - great! Kids club was good, it operated 10.30 - 12.45 and then 2.30 - 4pm. Our son enjoyed it. He would have liked to be involved in the games but was told you need to be 13 to play darts with rubber arrows, bit disappointing. Overall a basic hotel with basic facilities. It was expensive for what you got! Oh and there is NO waterpark, it says ‘free water park access’ as if there is a water park, there is not, it’s a baby splash park, again very misleading and disappointing

The facility is well kept and the views are outstanding. Everything else was average or below. Food is not seasoned and either under or overcooked. You can count on the breads and fruit to be good. Everything else is either inedible or needs salt - fried fish had bones, French toast raw in the middle, just icky. Rooms have the thinnest towels and no wash cloths. No conditioner or lotion either. Nothing stocked in the fridge. Shower wouldn’t maintain a temperature - it would go cold for a couple seconds and then about scald you and then go back to where you set it for a couple minutes. We couldn’t get the thermostat to do anything. It was so hot in our room and the AC wouldn’t work. We opened our balcony door to let in fresh air but the one day the people next to us were smoking on their balcony and it blew straight into our room. Shows were ok but not great. I’d stay somewhere else if I go back to Malaga.

The hotel grounds and general location exceeded expectations. The beach was such an added bonus because it’s cleaned daily and the sand and sea is great. The best attribute was the staff. Not a single unpleasant person. Everyone happy, attentive and conscientious. The negatives were that the hotel and numerous buildings and consequently feels like 3 hotels in one. The tower in the photos and then buildings around the perimeter, which I hadn’t appreciated before arrival which means there were many more holiday makers than expected. Logistically though the high quality and hard working staff ensured the consistency of good service. RUI could have also given the entertainment staff more time off which would have improved the diversity of the entertainment schedule too. For example there could have been a range of external entertainment included such as tributes and Spanish dancing rather then the same entertainment staff presenting every night albeit with enthusiasm

Nice looking hotel which is clean and tidy. The room was also very comfortable. The food and drink selection however is very poor. All the drinks whether they are soft or with alcohol are watered down and taste artificial, I had a cosmopolitan and it tasted full of additives and full of sugar. You could barely taste any alcohol. This taste seemed to dominate all the drinks from slushies to simple fruit juice. Even the wine was awful, it was like drinking water and the rose looked like pop. The buffet Resturant had a poor selection and was very disappointing. When eating dinner in the Italian, the main course was severely over cooked. However, the buffet was quite nice with a good selection. Unfortunately though there were ants all over the puddings. I informed one of the Resturant staff and they changed the desert that the ants were on. But as soon as a fresh one came down the ants came back. We are so disappointed with this. We feel like we have been completely ripped off for £500 per night! We’ve barely eaten or drunk anything due to the poor quality. The quality of the food is not a reflection on the staff who were perfectly nice and the facilities were also good. It is just a shame that the food and drink let the hotel down. For this reason, we will not be staying at RIU again.
