Holiday World Riwo, Affiliated by Meliá

I cannot fault this hotel at all. Heard a few negative reviews about the food and in my opinion it’s the best I’ve ever had at a AI hotel. The theme nights were lovely and the Asian night was brilliant with fresh sushi made in front of you. The breakfasts was outstanding. From Greek yogurt to fry up with proper pork sausages which u never usually get. Drinks were ok cruzcampo on Tap which is my fav. Cocktails r pre made so not the best but you get that in most hotels. Snacks by the pool is ok and staff are very friendly. Only thing I struggled with is the sunbeds have no movement in them So if u want to read a book It’s a bit difficult. Splash pool Very good and rooms Was so Much better than I thought. Beds very comfy but I like hard mattresses. And loads of room. I would say pound for pound best hotel I’ve stayed In only prob is you need to get a taxi to go anywhere but I knew this prior to booking but taxi quite reasonable and 13-16 euro each way. Keep up the good work hotel riwo

I will always give a honest review, we have travelled all over the world, so in my opinion I have seen a lot of hotel's. 1 , arrived only to be greeted by abrupt reception, 2,never had this before at a all inclusive hotel, we were given a plastic token, you handed it in at the bar and was given a plastic tumbler, if you loose your token or leave the tumbler, you have to get another token, cost one euro ,without the token or the tumbler you can't get a drink. 3,we paid for a safe in the room ,we reported it not working, two days later a maintenance man asked use where the key was,only to find out you need a key to switch it on,down to reception asked when we paid for the safe why weren't we given a key, a shrug of the shoulders was the answer. 4, ingrenral all the other staff in the hotel were very good ,the housekeeping was good and the room although dated was kept clean. 5. Our shower wasn't working properly you could only get cold water ,then when it was suppose to be fixed ,you could get red hot water coming out, dangerous.. the beds were comfortable but if you use the put you up in the lounge you get sheets and what looked like old army blankets.

6.pool towels are provided, we went to change them after three days, only to be told if we swapped the towels we had to pay for fresh towels. 7.i am not a person who wants English food when aboard ,but in over fifty years of travelling i have never seen so much food wasted, or left on plates. 8, if you look at the travel brochures you get the idea you can use the other hotels. A couple when one day to one of the other hotels only to be told if they wanted to eat there the cost was thirty one euros per adult and eighteen euros per child. 9.bars two number,one by the pool shuts at 7 and one in the hotel. No other bars 10. Coffee machine only available at breakfast. Then if you want a coffee with your lunch you have to go to the pool bar for it. 11,crazy golf would be better playing on a building site, needs maintenance. 12 ,forget the opening hours shown in the hotel shop that's hit and miss. 13 the pool sunbeds are plenty but again dated and in need of a clean, the lifeguard was very good, the pool area is clean and tidy the pools are great for Kids you get one type of beer anything else you pay for. The pool bar food did not change hot dogs hamburger chicken nuggets chips. Salad. 13 ,don't think about walking anywhere you need to be a mountain goat, a young family when out one day and they words not mine it nearly killed me pushing the bugger up that hill. 14. we paid for our grandkids and they have travelled all over the world with us. Not one of them enjoyed the food and there was five of them.

I could go on but I think you can see from my comments. Not a place I would recommend. Shame
