“Lovely hotel”

A lovely warm reception when me and my daughter arrived. We were upgraded to suite when we are which was a nice surprise. The room was very clean and modern. The breakfast was plentiful, a vast variety to choose from. The location is superb, literally 5 minutes down the road to the beach and restaurants. We took a taxi to Old Town, which cost approximately 20-25 euros. There was a lovely lady at reception, I didn't get her name, but she was most pleasant. If I ever come to Majorca, I will definitely stay here and I will def recommend this hotel!

“Amazing hotel”

I have been in this amazing hotel berofre. I like everything - gym, food, room, location - everything :-)

“Concordia Review”

Really nice hotel. Friendly staff, very clean rooms, good choice of food. Competitive prices in the bar and an excellent location close to beach, bars etc. No shortage of sun beds when I was there in May! Very refreshing- no towels put down in advance.

“Not your normal RIU”

This hotel is well maintained, immaculately clean and has a high standard of food on offer.

This hotel is well maintained, immaculately clean and has a high standard of food on offer. We (a couple of seniors) stayed in a Junior Suite Room 201) which was spacious and had a nice sunny balcony in the evening with a partial sea view which overlooked the hotel entrance onto a lively street which was great for people watching. We opted for half board which is good value when compared to many of the local restaurants which offer poor quality food at exorbitant prices. There is a good size swimming pool with basic loungers. However, we were the wrong demographic for this hotel and based our choice on our previous Riu experiences. This hotel hosts predominantly German guests (we did not meet any other English people) and the clientele consisted of quite a few large groups of 'matching' young men. While the majority were pleasant, out to party and have a good time, there were a few older group leaders who spoilt the atmosphere by being obnoxiously loud and attention seeking. Many were celebrating the Euros football and throughout the resort the chanting went on all day. It was disappointing when the scheduled evening entertainment (3 or 4 nights per week) was substituted for the German football matches on a big screen and a guitarist played during dinner. You are allowed to visit entertainment in neighbouring RIU hotels which offer half board (not all inclusive). Lovely soft sand beach and calm sea to swim in. Great shoe shop near hotel, Now for the points which led to our review being only satisfactory. We honestly felt let down and being used as cash cows. On arrival we paid for our week's room rental, half board and tourist tax which was 1911.62 euros (all taxes included) plus 729 points as we are Riu members in STERLING. We expected a slightly lower exchange rate but no one indicated this would add more than 10% to the bill ... nearly £200 by my calculation as our bill was £1849 on arrival. I would not advise anyone to do as we did and when asked if we wanted to pay in Euros or Sterling say sterling as the penalties are too high and you are not advised of this extra charge in addition to a low rate of exchange. You are then required to hand over 12 euros to use the safe in your room and 20 euros (returnable) to rent 2 pool towels which are 'not to be taken to the beach'. The poolside bar is happy to serve copious amounts of alcohol in breakable glasses by the pool but tells off some young girls who are drinking their own plastic bottle of water as it was not purchased at the hotel. No rooms in this hotel have kettles so bring your own if you want a decent cup of tea. Use public transport as parking really competitive unless you have a disabled sticker. Only 2 euros for public bus every 20 minutes to Palma but 30 euros in a taxi. Get on the return bus by the fountain roundabout near the Cathedral as it fills up at later stops.
