Best beach ever - compared to beaches in Egypt, Thailand, Bali, etc. Quiet locale, kid-friendly, nice big family rooms. Food so-so - presentation definitely lacking, and atmosphere of main dining areas more student cafeteria than anything else... noisy and chaotic. More

Second time at the Riu Oliva.Stayed for 11 days in January 12. Lovely hotel food even better than two years ago, lots to choose from, well cooked and presented. Everything spotlessly clean. Staff work very hard and always freindly and helpful. Must mention Veronica in the annex restaurant and Diego in the annex bar (great cocktails!!). Hubby and I stayed... More

Just back from a fortnight at this hotel, booked it as a late deal 4 days before travelling and got a very good price.

The beach is a REALLY nice sand beach, to bad that we could't take out our drinks to the beach. We didn't expect much, just wanted to get away from the cold so the hotel... More

Firstly this is not my sort of holiday, the hotel was too big for my liking hence too many people, but was a last minute thing that my partner had booked. The hotel itself is getting rather tired and dated, the bed was very uncomfortable, and was 2 x 3ft mattress's put together, this caused problems with my back and... More

I stayed at this hotel several years ago and not in Nov 2011 but it was November. It is a very nice hotel right on the beach and the pool is just off the beach. OK so there were a lot of Germans there but they are every where any way! There is not a lot to do in the... More
