Hotel Riosol

After reading the reviews before I came, i almost cancelled my holiday, well I'm glad I never, yes the hotel needs a little updating, but there is work being done, the hotel is clean & tidy, great pool, no queuing for sunbeds, foods good, plentiful and a great choice, nightlife is quiet and we went out every night, some great restaurants by the harbour & shopping centre, if you want a lovely relaxing holiday, with very friendly staff and great pool scene then the Riosol is for you, if you want a hotel with plenty of nightlife then maybe not, don't believe all the reviews you read, some people expect a 5* service and hotel for a 3* price, Great holiday and loved every minute of the Riosol, thank you to all the friendly staff who made the experience that much better.

Review Riosol Hotel I want to start this review, by saying, that different people have different standards. Mine aren't massively high. I have never set foot in a five-star hotel, so I don't even know what that is like. However, I have a cardinal rule, where I don't book anything below four-star hotels. And although I know that comes off as being spoiled, Riosol Hotel is a great example of why.  My buddy, booked the hotel, based on the pictures, which look great. But, I should have read the flipping reviews. So I take full responsibility.  Anyway.... Along the way, somewhere I guess in the nineteen eighties, or early nineties, the quality to star ratio for hotels and resorts, has gone a bit wonky.  Whereas, back in the day, a three-star hotel meant something, nowadays, it usually means disappointment.  The overall look and feel — The entire hotel looks run down. One of the main lifts, was broken, which meant that you were kept waiting. I can only imagine if the hotel is fully booked, it must be true hell.  The cabins/apartments all look worn out. I don't know when they took the pictures that are on their website, but they must be old, or heavily photoshopped. Because it doesn't look like that at all.  My apartment — When I first arrived at my place, the door was wide open. I should have known right there and then something was up. The "living room" was worn out, and the furniture had seen better days. The room had a kitchenette, which was hilariously bad. Literally, everything was crooked. The tap, had been glued to the countertop.  Oh, did I mention there was no airconditioning? Again, this is my fault for not paying attention. But, oh boy, would I regret that one.  The bathroom, was equally worn out. The floor wasn't level, so I couldn't fully open the door. The next day, I understood, why the door front door was open. There was a mouldy stench that made it unpleasant to stay indoors. They changed the towels, every 2-3 days, which is now a standard thing. However, even the towels had seen better days.  Bedroom — Right, the same here, worn out and all in all, pretty terrible. The beds were short, even for me, and I am only 1,67m. Furthermore, the beds were very lightweight, which meant that if you were to lean against the headrest, the beds would start to move. The bed linen looked okay. I didn't dare sleep underneath the blanket, as I was afraid of passing out from heat exhaustion. Remember no, airco. There was a fan, but it was noisy. The Food — Nothing to write home about. Breakfast was good, nothing special. I would recommend eating out for dinner and lunch. Also, I noticed that several windows in the restaurant were cracked. And every table I sat at, throughout the week, had the corners knocked off. Like I mentioned, the place was worn out.  The Staff — The staff were friendly, and helpful.  The Pools — There are two pools, one is the Island of Stars, which is at the very top of the hotel. It wasn't included in the price, whic

We booked this Hotel for 7 days and left after 1 night! The hotel looks nothing at all like the pictures. In reality it is very dilapidated - not at all well kept and extremely dirty. We arrived to the room to find hair in the shower drain, mould on the bathroom walls, used chewing gum on the floor, stained bedsheets and ants crawling throughout the apartment. After walking around the room for only a few minutes, the soles of our feet were black. We also took a walk through the pool area which was also filthy. The next morning we decided we would not waste anymore time here. As we checked out, we informed the receptionist of our issues to which he said he would “write it down”. Overall the experience was the worse we have ever had. The hotel is also in a very rough area. The nearest food venues feature nothing but very poor food in the company of people who have clearly come to Riosol to do nothing more than drink. Certainly no good for a family with kids… nor for any human for that matter.

Me, My Girlfriend and 2 of my friends stayed here for 7 nights in August after reading a lot of the negative reviews I wanted to give my opinion on the Riosol The Riosol was in a great location - shopping center nearby with pubs, clubs, karaoke, live sports, restaurants and much more! The Riosol was a great place to stay. The pool was amazing and the Rooftop pool was incredible.. definately worth the €25pp as it included 2 Cocktails a fresh soft towel each and the area was beautiful. The cleaners were very good and understanding if you hadn't left the room yet, they replaced towels and beds and its looked lovely once returning from the day out. The in-room safe locked us out of it and broke after 1 use HOWEVER they came and fixed it within 30 mins (which was the time frame i was told) In regards to creepy crawlies... we only saw 2 in our room the whole holiday however we were extra cautious to not open our windows for too long just incase. The Entertainment was a lot of fun even though a lot of the quiz questions were spanish based meaning we were at a small disadvantage but thats all a part of the fun. Only things I would criticise are.. the heat in the rooms.. there is NO aircon meaning the rooms are sometimes unbearably hot and in the night time that heat is really noticable resulting in a very broken sleep pattern. The toilets/gutters do leave a horrible smell in the rooms and even with the extraction fan ON it really doesn't mask any smells.. also the showers leak a lot of water onto the floor due to a poor attempt of a shower curtain/door and finally the showers heat control is very unpredictable sometimes you will be in a cold shower that will unexplainably turn boiling hot (which when you are sunburnt as bad as me ... was a BIG deal) Overall was not as bad as some of the other reviews had stated but I can see some of their perspectives.

Been coming here for years with my family, and always had a fantastic stay. However, decided to travel solo following the death of my husband ( was our favourite place). What a change, and not for the better. Room ok, but lock failed twice-both at night, so took ages to get sorted. Definitely not a family hotel anymore-groups of all male and all female, with the waft of **** floating across my balcony, and making so much noise, despite being asked to keep it down. Not the relaxing holiday i was expecting, and very disappointed. I will not be back.

Not so happy with the hotel facilities.and l was disappointed with the bedroom,this hotel has a wonderful sea view..but they have to improve with the facilities..lunch and dinner was alright. They could do more better with the breakfast..!

Seen all reviews was wasn't expecting much when we arrived check in was brilliant nice staff the lift was broken but was fix in 2 days of are stay were we were put had lots of steps we when to reception and a lovely lady called Vanessa moved us and my friends nearer every thing she was amazing 👏 apartments were clean pool was lovely no problem getting sunbeds would highly recommend it
