Some good, some bad but overall a welcoming stay

For a 4 star, top 100 hotel in the world, there were some experiences I had with it—good and bad. Bad: the WiFi goes in and out quite a bit. Not sure if it’s just a bad connection or too many people using it at once but it has been down for multiple times during our 8 night stay. Make sure to have some shows and movies downloaded. Bad: the shower floods easily. My wife used the handheld shower head since it spread less water onto the floor than the rainfall shower head. Whole bathroom floor is soaked if you use the rainfall head. Bad: I’m not sure if it’s the hotel or if it’s because I’m American but there was no microwave anywhere in the hotel. If you got leftovers from one of the amazing restaurants down the street, you can’t heat it back up since there’s no microwave or toaster or anything of the such in the hotel. So if you go out to eat, make sure to eat it all or trash it when you’re done. Good: the spa was absolutely fantastic. Everything was priced fairly for what you get and how long you get it for. The care of the massages and spa was unbeatable. Best spa my wife and I have ever gone to. Good: although there are no microwaves in the hotel, there is breakfast buffet from 0800-1030, an outdoor bar open after that, dinner buffet from 1815-1945 or 2015-2145, and an indoor bar with live music each night at the same time. So there’s honestly no need to eat out sometimes and worry about driving or parking. Good: the staff knows multiple languages.

Really exceptional, but one deadly flaw

This hotel is gorgeous and well maintained. We were upgraded to a better room and every single staff member was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner were included in our half-board rate. Food was top notch, better than cruise ship quality. Great mix of Spanish, German, and UK choices. The challenge was not to eat too much. Bar and wine prices were very fair (great spanish house wine 11€/bottle or slightly less). I will definately stay at other Riu hotels in the future BUT NOT THIS ONE. THERE IS AN UNFORGIVABLE PROBLEM: guests should plan on NO wifi available on the property. Connections in the room were zero. In public areas, there are so many conflicting wifi repeaters that your device will skip from bad connection to bad connection trying to connect. I was forced to do a highly interactive Zoom via mobile phone connection greatly annoying my colleagues and running over my 10gb of EU data which incurred a 20€ overage. The front desk said there will be no solutions until the building is rewired. I tried to connect using Android, Apple and Chromebook products from many different locations. If you need data at all, stay elsewhere. If you don't need data, you will be totally delighted by this hotel.

Good Bits. We had a great stay. All the staff were excellent, from the Reception, the Dinning Room & the Cleaners, what a 1st class job they do. The food in the restaurant is the best buffet food we've had, the choice is great & it's hot, with hot plates. The whole hotel is clean & well maintained, though it'll be interesting to see it next year after the refurbishment. Hopefully more plug sockets & USB sockets in the bedrooms. The standard bedrooms are clean, comfortable & spacious. Bad Thing. Noise Thanks to the reception staff who moved us after our 1st night, from above the restaurant & the noisey fan that kept us awake a lot of the night. 2nd room a lot quieter except for other guests. A sign in all rooms requesting guests to respect & show consideration to fellow guests that they would expect to be shown to them , especially between midnight & 8 am? Don't slam doors, keep TV volume low, Don't shout, Don't have your phone alarm go off at 5 & then 5.10 & then 5.15 etc. Unfortunately all our 4 nights sleep were unnecessarily noisey due to inconsiderate guests. Come on Riu, a small polite sign would go a long way Without the noise this place is 5 star & we will return next year, hopefully in a top floor, sea view room, as we were promised this time, but unfortunately didn't get.

Great hotel, perfect for a quiet relaxing holiday

Very quiet not for the youngsters, we had exactly what we wanted from this hotel a totally relaxed week. The Hotel was so clean and the staff very helpful . Food great with loads of cjoice. Took about 30 minutes to walk to a beach, great views better than taking the courtesy bus(which was freAt and ran to time)

Great week

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by a great reception team until the day we left a week later we experienced excellent customer service from all groups of staff. Our room was quite large and comfortable and overlooked a very pleasant garden and pool area which was very peaceful ... all the guests seemed to be there for one reason and that was to relax -- easily done. We booked bed, breakfast and evening meal --- the food was excellent -- huge range of high quality hot and cold food - not once were we stuck for choice. Congratulations to the catering team. The hotel is a little way out of town --- easy enough to walk down to - but uphill all the way back! The hotel provides a frequent shuttle service - but if it is not available when you want it a taxi will cost 4-5 euros. The whole hotel was clean and tidy Our only (very small) complaint was that the Wi-Fi seemed a little slow at times - but this was not an issue and did not in any way detract from the great stay we had at what was a 'quality' hotel. Recommended to all -- we would certainly stay here again

Good not great for couple with one baby

Average 4-star hotel usually catering to Charter travellers with especially a lot of German pensioners staying there. Slightly dated decor, beds with some form of plastic undercover and no air conditioning in the rooms in winter (despite the Hotels.com website saying so) makes the rooms feel a little bit uncomfortable. However, personnel was very friendly and helpful and the service was great and the breakfast buffet was very wide.

We enjoyed our stay at the Riu Garoe, our room was big and comfortable and the whole hotel was very clean. The pool bar is good and does nice 2 for 1 cocktails in the early evening. There were good amenities in the hotel, nice pool, mini-golf etc. The location is a 35-40 minute walk to the centre of town and although there is a regular free bus service from the hotel during the day, this unfortunately does not run in the evenings so it's a bit of a walk or a taxi (which costs around 5 euros) if you want to go to town in the evening. We were a bit disappointed that there was no access to an iron at the hotel!

Lovely hotel let down by the entertainment

Hotel was very nice. Food excellent. The only thing that let it down was the entertainment and bar service. As there was nowhere else to go locally we were tied to watching dreadful entertainment and very slow bar service. This said the rest of which hotel was excellent.
