Hotel Riu Costa del Sol - All Inclusive

Really bad stay.imposible to get a chair by the pool. No place to stay. No beach access!!!!!!! Everything overcrowded. The room very poor and dirty Horrible food, I was really upset and disapointed

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.

Hôtel assez propre mais ça ressemblait plus à une maison de retraite… Les résidents étaient 99% d’un certain âge… Peu d’animations populaires pour un Resort tout inclusive.

very clean property. some of the staff were very helpful and friendly, others not so much. reception staff were great. infinity pool is gorgeous. food options were mediocre, we ate outside the resort often. overall it was a nice stay in a great location. it caters more towards an elderly crowd, if you are a young couple i would probably choose a different resort.

Great location and hospitalities. Everything was expected for Riu hotel. Mostly retired and senior people seen as guests although family with young children were there, a few.

Hotel staff were great. It wasn’t cheap for a one night stay at £280. The hotel

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.

Hotel very clean and staff very good , always ready to answer any questions and always quick service at the bars .

Very good location to stay. I would stay here again on my next visit to Malaga area.

Nice hotel, but vey busy

Mario at the front desk was very helpful and very personable. Antonio the bartender was awesome and always had a smile and a hello everyday

Good property overall however when it gets cold or rainy the only place to really warm up is your room.

We had a fantastic stay at RIU Costa del Sol! The staff was exceptionally helpful, professional, and kind, making our experience even more enjoyable. The hotel itself was well-maintained, the pools were spotless, and the restaurants offered a great variety of delicious food. Highly recommended for a winter getaway!

The quality and the cleanliness. Second time and was very pleased with the food, service.

Ok hotel, great location, for all inclusive was not much of all inclusive, nothing in room even water wasn’t in and no option to order in room , food choice was poor - about all the same at all buffet style restaurants

Great food drinks pool and lots of sunshine! Loved it

Great few days and have already rebooked for March

We stayed 2 nights and had a lovely time.Activities during the day and show at night.very busy hotel.Food and drink choices were great.

My favorite thing was catching a sunrise at the breakfast cafeteria, and starting the day with fresh fruits and food. Easy walk to the beach, and train station(has park and ride parking). Street parking was easy and right out front. In the evening they do a flamenco show, don’t forget to check schedule :)
