CLUBHOTEL RIU ROMANTICA

Only fit people need go

We visited here at the end of June 2023. We were very scared due to reading previous reviews but we tried to be as open minded as we could.

Firstly, most of the rooms are a far walk away from the main dining area and the pool, there is however a free taxi that can take you up if you require. I'm not sure how that works as our room was relatively close therefore we just walked.

The rooms do not have aircon, they have a ceiling fan instead. To be completely honest, we visited when temperatures were hitting about 33 degrees a day and the ceiling fan was absolutely fine, made our room nice and cool when we went back to it. We even had to turn it off some nights as it was too cold! Although the bathroom only has a small window but once the water is on and you're in the shower you can't really feel the heat anyway!

The main negative thing is no air con in communal places such as the restaurant and main bar. This meant that eating your breakfast and dinner was difficult due to how hot it was in the restaurant.

All of the staff are great, very nice and polite. Nothing negative to say about them.

The animation team are great! Organise all evening activities really well, as well as different games around the pool during the day time.

Lifeguard Cristian is the best!! Really funny and friendly. Definitely the best lifeguard I've ever met at a hotel/resort.

In terms of food, it is pretty much the same as any other all inclusive place. I am a picky eater myself and I managed to find something to fill me up during every meal time.

In terms of drinks, they're pretty weak. I recommend the beer as that seemed to be stronger than the actual drinks. Also, cocktails aren't included you need to pay extra for these which I was surprised about as most other places I've been to at least have the simple cocktails included.

We had 2 connecting rooms and I can confirm that both were spotless clean. Yes they may be dated but that's the style of the hotel, they choose to be 60's inspired. If you don't like that then don't book. Simple.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will definitely be returning.
