Hotel Riu Vistamar 4*

Writing this review as we sit around the pool for our final few hours in this beautiful hotel before we sadly head home after a glorious week. This is our 2nd stay here, we stayed last August and are back less than a year later and it sure did not disappoint, yet again! Rooms are always clean, spacious and well maintained. Food is always fresh, well replenished and something for everyone! This is our final holiday as just us two before we welcome our baby and what a lovely, needed relaxing time we've had. The moment the staff were aware of my pregnancy, they arranged a room close to the lifts for me and on a higher floor to suit the hotel layout. We had an amadores beach view and it was breathtakingly stunning. There's always something going on such as games and activities, all are welcomed to join in but never pressured. The entertainment staff are fabulous! Such a lovely hotel, with a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and hope to return to experience the family side this hotel offers! Thank you Riu Vistamar!

I am used to Riu hotels, but this is the worst hotel I have ever been to. Children cannot play with inflatables in the pools, nor with small balls, except in the wading pool which is 50 cm deep, even though my grandchildren are 9 and 7 years old. The room's minibar is not restocked, no cola, no Sprite... nothing, 1 bottle of water upon arrival and then nothing else, whereas in other Riu hotels the minibar is restocked every 2 days!! You have to go get the bottle of water at the sports bar and the water is warm!!! The food is always the same, not varied at all, and we felt like we were in a cafeteria!!! The restroom at the bar by the second pool is dirty and smells bad!!! At the bar by the second pool, you cannot go there while still wet; you must be dry to be able to get a drink!!! Never again this hotel, even though the assistant manager told me that it was based on the price I had paid and that this hotel only had 4 stars, compared to others that have 5!!!! This hotel is not even worth these 4 stars, 2 or 3 at most!!! And I am a big fan of Riu, I have Riu Diamond status, but I am really disappointed here 😞 😞 I absolutely do not recommend it!!!!
