Been to this excellent hotel many times over the last decade, but this is the first time since it went All Inclusive!
We went on a half board basis as we have before and found that the service etc. was still exceptional. The accomodation is more than adequate with sea views to die for, the centre of Torremolinos is only a 20 minute walk away with enough shops to satisfy the most ardent shopper!
The food, service and entertainment were all to the required standard bearing in mind the relative cost, which makes this an exceptional value for money experience!
The staff, from a welcoming Reception, to the Bar, the Restaurant and the Housekeepers were always busy but with time for a friendly greeting and a ready smile - not always the case at some Hotels!
In essence this is a clean, friendly, well located, value for money Hotel that I would recommend to anyone and I will certainly be back there next year.
This Hotel is driven from the top with tipical RIU management on hand at all times - Thank you Alfredo and your "opoen door policy"

Stayed here in jan for 5day break and as it was my first time didn't know what to expect but from the checkin to the room I was not disappointed.
Room was one of the best I have been in for a long time and I tend to take a few short breaks a year.
As for the food and all inclusive drinks I had ,they were great and a good selection .
No fighting for your table at night as you are allocated a table for your full stay .
Also have 2settings for dinner you pick which one suits you.

Rooms, staff, general accomodation, buffets, location > all is perfect
I susery recommend this hotel with my eyes closed.
I have visited this hotel already 5 times, the last one was in sept 2011

Just returned from this hotel.
After a booking request mix up from the hotel, which was promptly rectified after a quick phone call back to the ever helpful Pauline at Kingfisher Travel, Musselburgh, this hotel ticked all the right boxes.
Rooms were spotlessly maintained daily, with the towel decorations regularly displayed.
Food plentiful and varied.Waiters constantly clearing tables, always friendly and polite. Thanks guys.
All public areas were also spotless.
Bar staff worked hard to stop us all going thirsty, again thanks to Jimmy , Paco, Moreno and all the team for looking after us.For the 1st time in spain in an all inclusive, whisky was actually Scottish. Ballantynes at no extra supplement!
The duty managers were always wandering around and talking to all guests. ( perhaps here in Britain we should learn from people like this, their abilty to speak 3 or 4 languages should shame most of us.)
Reception staff ,Carmen, Oliver and the rest of the team were always on hand to assist in any request we had. Thank you.
The hotel is at the end of the promenade, a pleasant walk into town. If you dont want to walk, the bus stop is just at the end of the road, line 2 takes you into the town centre.
The train station is 15 to 20 minutes walk away, offering regular services to Malaga and Feungirola and various stops in between. Plaza Mayor if you feel the need for some retail therapy away from the usual souvenier shops. Cheap effecient public transport.
In summary an excellent place to stay at a reasonable cost.
