Hotel Riu Vistamar 4*

1st time staying at the riu vistamar. We had room 392 and a nice view of Amadores Beach. Even though its a big hotel we found it very easy to navigate around. Pool beds were easily found, even in the late afternoon. The food was good, although not as good or varied compared to the Servator Porto Azul which we have also stayed in. Which considering this is a 4Plus and Azul is a 4 star, I'd expect the riu to be better. Food was a little repetitive and not so much choice as other mentioned hotel. The Riu party on Fridays though is a must, great and free experience, but book in advance as it gets full. Pools are abit on the cold side though (disappointingly). The free bus to Amadores beach saved a lot of money on the taxis or walking. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The only major problem is people smoking on the balcony's, lots of it happening and on many occasions we couldn't have the balcony doors open due to the smell of cigarette smoke and even cannabis on one occasion. Entertainment though is very poor, but your close enough to visit better entertainment either in the Europa just up the road, or head down to the commercial centre. The best part of the hotel is the sports bar, its 24 hours and has drinks and snacks available (burgers , hotdogs) and a great view on the balcony overlooking the sea and peurto rico. Although the staff tend to disappear a lot after midnight and need finding on many occasions, ended up serving myself a couple of times. The rooms are very nice, maids cleaned every day, free bottled water and even cartons of milk whenever you need them from the sports bar. I would definitely recommend this hotel and we would definitely return. The hotel is next door to the Altamar, which I have visited many times, and is far nicer and a better all over experience. Its worth the extra.
