Hotel Riu Costa del Sol - All Inclusive

The staff was just amazing. Everyone was naturally super friendly and helpful. We were a large group of people from 11 different nationalities and they organised large dining tables, the cook went and made a special sauce for me etc. Although the hotel was full, the 5 pools and many bars easily accommodated all needs and it did not feel too busy. Excellent location opposite to the lovely beach.

The only "critisism" would be that the food was a bit the same esch day. Although there was plenty to choose from.

Booked for my husbands 60th Birthday in October. First time stay and visit to Malaga. ●Check in - speedy and friendly, no issues ●Room - clean, twin beds with a sofa bed for my son (17years). No table and chair so he couldn't play on his laptop in comfort. The room was quite small for three of us. Balcony was also small but we did have a sea view across from the street. WIFI was strong in the room ++ ●Food - main restaurant, breakfast normal English options, coffee was in pots and was like treacle. Soft drinks and cruzcampo was on tap definite ++. Lunch and dinner in the main restaurant also varied. On the Wednesday we had a casserole and rice at lunch...the absolute NEGATIVE of our stay...by 7pm I was vomiting and had diarrhoea, by 11pm husband was the same. We were up all night being sick. Thursday was a write off for recovery. This ruined the rest of our hotel experience so ate out after that. We know it was the rice as our son was not ill. There is a booking system via the app for the other two restaurants, we ate in the Italian once which wasn't too bad but very busy. Main pool bar was quick service and coffee was alot better than breakfast option. Bottles of water available to take to the room at every bar. ●Location - right next to the beach, 20 mins walk to Malaga shopping which was lovely +. All up hill to the shopping area so you can get a lift up and down for €1 each. ●Spa - not a spa really, just a small indoor pool with kids in there taking selfies for social media. We went in there once - ●Hotel cat - loved him 🐈‍⬛+ Overall we would say average 3* (Canaries offers better 3* hotels) not 4* as stated. -minus 2 on my rating for the food experience and the spa not being up to standard.

Good variation of food offering for all tastes and ages . Well displayed , kept clean and enforced dress code ( not too much to ask for a guy to put a shirt on :)

Cocktails aren't nice. use cordial tasting juices . We went to shop and bought our own mixers ( orange juice especially) as we were all inclusive ( or drank beer ) 1st world problem hey ?!?
