Holiday World RIWO - Teens Hotel

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.

Overall had a amazing stay staff at the hotel made the stay special had a great time with my son thank you

Everything was brilliant in the hotel.The only confusing thing was the rules to used indoor pool and sauna ,steam room just 60mins for free for your staying.(We was February)Expedia missing this information when we booking you can find that only in hotel website.

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 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.

We had good service. But just 2 times i felt that two different staff members were rude to us. The other staff members were really fine. And I found out that one of the receptionist doesn’t know much about the area.

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.

We liked the hotel but felt that paying for the indoor swimming was ridiculous specially when it was too cold to use the outdoor pool

Very friendly staff food was great too and variety unbelievably large

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 !!

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.

Good hotel with lots going on nearby food was ok always something you liked/could have etc.

Nice place.but food not that nice

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.

Nice hotel, great kid themed room, plenty of amenities for the little ones

food repetitive, childrens food was beef burger or hotdog with chips for lunch and dinner every day for a week. chef needs more variety

I have mixed feelings about this stay. Let me just start by saying that though we got the best out of our holiday, we would not return to Holiday Palace. So, the location is in Benalmadena but closer to the Fuengirola side, away from all the "action". Our ride from the hotel (34 Euro for 5 people) took us through some really nice areas so we were excited until we realized that Holiday hotels are pretty secluded. No shops, restaurants, nothing really outside of the hotel unless you are ready to walk (or take the bus) about 30 minutes to Fuengirola. The hotel itself was fine, the staff was trying to be helpful but had their limitations. The rooms were clean, so were the common areas, however, playground was dangerous (uneven surfaces, we had to witness a kid fall on his face after tripping), the minigolf is a joke (torn, broken, uneven, etc.). The hotel pool was nice though it got pretty crowded by the afternoon which also reflected in the cleanliness of the water. If you pick this hotel, go there for the Beach Club not the beach itself as the hotel has no private beach, and the access you have to it takes you to a rocky beach area. There are much nicer beaches if you don't mind the hike towards Fuengirola. The hotel shuttle takes you up and down the hill between 10-18.00, the opening hours of the waterpark, if you come after that, you will have to walk up a steep hill. I could go on but there is no more space here. Beach club good for kids taller than 120 cms or up to 3 yrs.

All was very good with exception of the last day when we were expected to check out at 12 and had to stay at the reception till 1500hours. We had been earlier on promised to be given a courtesy room after checking out that early as our flight was due to leave late evening

The only thing we liked about this hotel was was 1 barman and 1 waitress. Would not reccomend unless you want a very low cost holiday.
