“SUPERB VALUE.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Just returned - 3rd. Feb. after a weeks stay.
The value for money is exceptional. The location, right on the beach is perfect and it is in a quieter part of Torremolinos. If you want a busy night life outside the hotel - its not for you.You could not fault the food - a great variety with special a themed meal every night.
The staff could not be more helpful and seemed to enjoy what they were doing.
Just a point to note- I would say that the hotel would not suit the younger element. In fact I guess the average age when we were there was approaching 65 / 70.
All inclusive is always a bonus and we made best use of it.
We were allocated a room on the 9th floor - amazing views of the beach ,seafront,Torremolinos and the mountains- sun on the balcony all day.
Although the room was sold as a side sea view, they are all angled towards the sea. There are 2 blocks around the pool, In the 5 storey block, ask for floors 3/ 4/ or 5.
In the 9 story b lock ask for floors 7 / 8 or 9 - for best views. Although the hotel was full, there are no problems in finding a lounger around the pool.
It there was a downside, it was the evening shows. Considering there is no alternative outside in the evening, it was the only thing to do, The standard was very amateurish and the room quite small so there was always a problem in seating. Also I found the beds a little firm.
This is only a minor complaint however.
There is a bus stop outside the hotel to take you into the centre and the train station - called COLLINOS, is about a 10 to 15 min .walk. Both very cheap.
Will return without fail.

“Riu Bel Playa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Truly fantastic hotel ! From checking in the staff made you feel that extra bit special with a real welcome and genuine politeness and a complimentary fruit juice (which was really appreciated after an early flight from the UK)

Hotel immaculate, food fantastic and all rooms appear to have a sea view, some maybe side/partial .

We are going back in 3 weeks time and really looking forward to it

It is a gem of a hotel and well worth considering when staying in the Costa Del Sol

This hotel is definitely keeping the Riu standards

“Escape from the Snow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

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"

“5day break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

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.

Room Tip: If you can afford it get a sea view room
