Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort - All Inclusive

“Fantastic hote”

We have stayed at this hotel over 18 times as we love it so much.

We have stayed at this hotel over 18 times as we love it so much. Yes, it is looking tired but this is down to the Spanish government trying to close it down, why would Riu pay for a refurbishment under this threat? As Riu class members we can check-in prior to arrival at the hotel and are usually in our room within 5 minutes thanks to the super polite, friendly and efficient reception staff. We tend to stay in the main hotel as we have found the beds to be more comfortable there, by staying in a suite our son gets a proper bed in the lounge. The. Fridge and safe ae free and it is possible to hire kettles and irons from reception. The rooms are cleaned daily,towels changed.and beds usually left looking artistic! Cleaners are seen all over the hotel keeping it spotless, the pool areas are clean and tidy and there is a lifeguard on duty between 8 and 6. The hotel has 3 restaurants, one has to be booked, however we only use the other 2 restaurants, the food can be a bit ‘samey’ however everyone is catered for with a buffet style service (chef’s cook the meat and fish in front of you). Breakfast is cereals, pastries, toast, fry-up, cold meats, cheeses, fruit, etc, lunch tends to be burgers, sausages, salad, cold meats, cheeses, and a salad bar, and dinner usually has a roast joint, chicken dish, fish dish, steak, pork, a variety of vegetables and a salad bar. The restaurant staff are really helpful and friendly, tables are kept clean, nothing is too much trouble. The entertainment team are amazing! There is an adults only timetable running alongside a teenage timetable, whilst younger children can go to the ‘kids club’. Adults have the opportunity to do Riu fit (yoga, aqua fit/fun, water polo, dune walking), Riu Art with Toby, and a variety of games including bowls on the beach, darts, soft archery, the crazy game and bingo). They also perform many live shows in the evenings which are fantastic to watch whilst enjoying the drinks from the friendly bar staff. The hotel is literally on the beach, this year a lot of sun beds have been put on the beach (hired daily), and there are now 3 bars on the beach - not hotel owned. The closest town is Corralejo which is a 10 minute bus or taxi ride, both available just outside the hotel. There are 2 small shops on the hotel complex and a larger shop by the bus stop. This is an absolutely fantastic place to stay for couples and families. We have made great friends that we see year after year from all around the world.

We are just back from our second visit at this hotel, we last stayed September 2023, this was the month before the threat of being closed down, Well all we can say is Thank Goodness, they were allowed to continue. It has improved immensely. Absolutely spotlessly clean everywhere! Yes it’s dated we knew that, but overlook the decor etc, (which may I add is clean), it’s spot on!! Beautiful food and drinks, extremely comfortable beds and pillows, free safe & fridge, what more can you ask for at a brilliant price! Entertainment team work hard to please everyone. Reception staff all polite and really attentive. Cleaners and maintenance always busy and very friendly. Bar staff and Restaurant staff all polite, friendly, conscientious. The location is what gives this hotel its extra special Charm, in the middle of the paradise of the Sand dunes. Hipodino and bus stop at the entrance, also a taxi rank. Bus to Corralejo 1.40 each way. We used Canary Shuttle to and from the airport and had no problems at all. Ignore the negative reviews please and go and see for yourselves.

Stayed here many times over the last 3 years, little mini break just got back from was just Brilliant. Dated rooms but the location is just superb, right next to the dunes, so if you love beach and tonnes of open space you will love it. Staff are all brilliant and always smiling, rooms kept very clean, dated but who cares you don't go on holiday to sit in your room, I had a room with a superb view - Thankyou reception 💖 Food is also very good, I didn't bother with 'pool life' when you have a beach as fantastic as this that's where you should be There is a supermarket 5 mins walk in front of hotel, stock up there on some drinks and snacks and picnic in the dunes . Yes to the right people go naked, it normal and quite liberating. But also you can walk miles in the dunes, it's just an endless space. Weather was amazing and green flag every day 🙌. If you want to party night club is open Friday and Saturday and was good fun, met so many people. This hotel is brilliant for singles, not just couples and family, I've travelled a lot on my own and this is definitely the best hotel to travel alone. Big thank you to everyone because my mini break was just Brilliant, and if the animation put on the horror show definitely watch it, because that was quite fantastic and I'm not really into hotel shows. Definitely get up for at least 1 sunrise - spectacular 👌. And I didn't do the 'package holiday', cheap flights with EJ out and Ryanair back, and booked direct with Riu- everyone must go here, honestly the dunes are just wow...and I've been here maybe 15 times now...
