Holiday World RIWO Hotel

I have flown with jet 2 on a number of occasions and they are defiantly one of the better airlines. I’m a nervous flyer but their friendly staff always make me feel more at ease. The only down fall is they seem to sell out of certain refreshments quite quickly.

Hotel Reception area and check-in - not well staffed at check in only one person on. Hotel Room - location was ok away from the one restaurant. However they didn’t like lighting the dark corridor during the day, a trip hazard waiting to happen. I asked for the light to be switched on a few times Restaurant - selection decent. However if you wanted even a little bit of heat in your food you had to use the microwave. shocking!!! Pools - outdoor freezing, indoor pool great but only one hour per day Kids club - really good kids loved it Mini Disco - kids enjoyed

Very clean hotel with friendly helpfull staff but quite far out from Benalmedina, with a nice beach about a 10 minutes walk away once on main road. bedding and towels changed daily with extra bottled water provided when requested.Beds were quite hard and uncomfortable.Travel cot was provided and already in suite on arrival .Food average with an ok choice but not hot at times so had to re-warm in a microwave.Could do with more of a choice for children,no jar food available for babies/toddlers so you would need to bring your own if that what yours eat as there were non to buy in the on site shop.The outdoor pool area and beach club and outside play area were excellent and in good condition.The mini crazy golf could use a make over as it was tired in in dis-repair. Indoor pool/spa was closed (wast'nt informed before arrivel ) for repair, was given free use of the one in the other nearby hotel but we didn't use it. Very little evening entertainment was poor with no atmosphere in the room where it was being held,we went first week of the season but still expected at least some decent entertainment.no activities for toddlers/babies or even a play room as the indoor soft play area was from a four year old.Overall we had a pleasant stay but I think our five days was just enough for us with the poor level of entertainment but we did have sunshine for the whole of our stay which helped.

Overall the hotel was quite good, it was very clean throughout, the rooms were tidied every day, reception and hotel staff were polite and helpful. We were a little disappointed with the food, it was okay, a lot of it was the same each day and most of the time it was only slightly warm and occasionally was cold. The beds in the rooms were also very hard and not very comfortable.

Lovely clean hotel , apartment type rooms are great cleaned to high standard daily and two large bottles of water put in the fridge daily good choise of food, very helpfull staff , fantastic water park plenty to do ! Overall fab place would visit again

We stayed at the Holiday palace although the splash park was great for my daughter the rest of the holiday was not the best. The entertainment in the evening was poor and the food was terrible. Very little choice and I am sure the majority of it was microwaved. I am not a complainer and will usually make the best out of a bad situation but all I can say is if you are booking this hotel go for the room only option!!

The holiday palace is the poorest of a seer of 4 or so hotels for holiday world. Our room was dirty with millions of ants everywhere including the dining kitchen and our clothes and my sons bed in the roo . We checked in at 10.30 to he told the restaurant had just closed and nothing else open but we did get a sandwich made well say made it was hard. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so it's an hour and half walk to Benalmedina or Fuengarola or €15 Euro each way or if the local bus is running it was a bargain of €1.60 each way per person and was very handy although when coming back you have a hike up the hill about twenty mins if the hotel courtesy bus has stopped 6pm.the hotel is very geared to kids and you couldn't get away from them nowhere was sacred and was told it's child friendl so they can run screaming through the hotel chuck food in the water features in the lobby or get plate fills of food by the food and waste it chucking it on the floor. The entertainment was all in Spanish and rubbish compared to the other hotels in the complex which incidentally you are. It allowed to use. The only bonus was the splash park which if you are all inclusive was included in your itinerary. No English to at all or radio. The apartment has a decent bathroom and the bedroom is soacious. But you share them with the ants. We will never visit it again.
