The Riu chain hotel are always great - staff were good - food was fab - loads of choice. the best thing about this hotel without a shadow of a doubt is its location.

We went to the the hotel following reports on Trip Advisor, it certainly did not disappoint the food, room, staff and facilities as are as good and if not better than many hotels that we have previously stayed.

I want to start by saying we have stayed in a lot of 4 and 5* hotels (sorry if that sounds snobbish but I want to explain that my opinion is well balanced).
