Great stay at Hotel Riwo

Great hotel for our teen and 6year old. Entertainment was good and beds in the sky suites were so comfy. Maybe a few more activities for the teens during g the day would have been good, so they could meet other teens. Lovely time with family.

Buena atención en recepción y restaurante. Dos cositas que podrían mejorar: primero la cama se bamboleaba, se movía y sonaba al moverme; luego en la cena del sábado 26 de abril me comí unas rodajas de pulpo del buffet que estaban crudas, le avisé a la encargada y avisó a cocina y retiraron la bandeja, pero me causó malestar estomacal todo el domingo pero luego se pasó.

Great for families

Lovely hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Apartments spacious, comfortable and clean. Huge beds! We had breakfast and dinner only. Large choice of cooked food, salads, breads, cakes and fruit. Lots of meat! Only disappointment was there was no protein for vegetarians, lots of veg, pasta, salad etc. I spoke with the chef and he said no one has ever mentioned it before and they will try and make something. The next day there was lentils and quinoa. Hopefully in the future they will always provide a vegetarian /vegan option. There was soya milk at breakfast. There is yoga by the pool every morning and other games. Free food to snack on by the bar. Mini disco was fun but quite late at 9.15pm, our 4 year old enjoyed it but he was exhausted by then. Overall we had a great time, not far from the beach about 10 minutes from main entrance after you get the free shuttle bus. Good choice for families. It is the smallest hotel in the resort but we preferred it. (capacity of 600 rather than 1400). and during low season Benalmádena is quieter than other regions of Costa del Sol.

Holiday World Never Fails

Holiday World never fails to impress. Staff are brilliant, services are great and pools to die for. It's a very busy complex and a common problem is car parking which doesn't affect everyone of course, but being in driving distance we always struggle. Riwo is a great hotel but Polynesia would have slight advantage due to bigger variety of food on offer.

I love the big atrium in the middle of the hotel. It reminds me of the embassy suites in the US. The room is an apartment. With a separate kitchen, separate bedroom, separate living room and bathroom. One of the nicest hotels I stayed at. The only thing I did not like was the air conditioning is central to the entire hotel and it was not turned on because it's winter time. The evenings were cool, that was not a problem but the afternoons got warm. but I was staying there during the Corona virus scare and it may be the hotel is planning to shut down. There weren't very many guests.

The property was modern and clean and the room was fantastic. We went in January, there was a lot shut downinsise the hotel, for example the shops, the outside pool, fountains and water features drained and off, to name a few . If you sat by the pool to get back to the only open bar was a trek, up steps through kids play area past outside seating past snooker table.... to be served a coke in a plastic water cup which you could easily finish on journey back. We went all inclusive but the choice was limited to the buffet restaurant and one bar. The food was pretty much the same every night which became boring. Being all inclusive with the bar and the food I would say not worth it. The staff were mostly friendly although service was sometimes slow. We had a packed breakfast for the last morning which was very poor, a bruised apple, orange, bread and a snack 8 days out of date !!

Worse experience ever

Its a complete rip off- i was surprised when i was asked to pay using any activity in hotel even swimming pool was charged 18 euros per person. kids play area was only during morning till 5 pm- time when you are away of hotel. Hotel provide free shuttle bus between 10:00 to 18:00 to take you outside road-outside these hrs be prepared to walk 15 minutes up hill or take a taxi- not good with kids to walk when you are returning tired. Buses from outside the hotel will take you to different locations but be prepared to change buses if you planing to go more distant. no way you can walk to any popular touristic spots from hotel. Beach in front of hotel take 15 minutes walk and is pathetic-don't bother to go. Room was good size but they joined two single beds instead of double bed. beds were noisy and uncomfortable. rooms are not sound proof- we had lot of trouble to sleep as noises from lobby and upper floor and side rooms were immense. floors in room are marbled means if you move a chair will make horrible noises- should be carpeted. cleaning of the room was very nice. Our sofabed was broken reported - fixed next day. If you ready to pay all extra money including taxi fare than go ahead otherwise choose hotels closer to marina in benalmadina or malaga town as there is not much to do in benalmadina as compared to malaga itself. you have to pay for wifi- luckily we had our UK data to use in Spain. Reception staff was very helpful.

Great facilities and family friendly

After visiting Holiday Palace last year, the facilities and bonuses of being a repeat visitor made our holiday even better. The cleaning of the suites had certainly improved being daily and the only slight down side was that much of the outside entertainment enjoyed the previous year remained the same. Overall a fabulous holiday, perfect for children, a great location and I would definitely return.
