Hotel Riu Costa del Sol - All Inclusive

Great hotel

This will be a strange review because we were booked into this hotel for 11 nights but had to go home a week early because of a family medical emergency, but I will give my opinion based on what we experienced in the short time we were there. We travelled with tui for 11 nights first thing I'm going to cover although not part of the hotel is the airport arrival. If you have walking difficulties then please book assistance because you have to walk for miles treacherous the first security check. Then another long walk to actual passport control. Queues are massive and a nightmare. Then ge

Yuk food and watered down drinks Ghastly wine

The Food was rubbish like a canteen ,Ate out most nights even avoided lunch some days so we spent quite a lot on food ,Sunbeds too close to one another hated it,drinks watered down also don't listen to Tui when you book it's a Fable to get you to spend your money.

RIU Costa del Sol – August 2026 We stayed at the RIU Costa del Sol for one week in August 2026, in room 5244, right at the back of the hotel overlooking the pool and Pepe’s snack bar. 🛏️ The room The room was very clean and well laid out, with a lovely big shower and a separate toilet. The maid came very early each morning and did a good job cleaning, although there were no extra little touches. It was my son’s birthday while we were there, and unfortunately there was nothing from the hotel to acknowledge it. We’ve stayed in other RIU hotels where they have made a real fuss of birthdays,

Always 5 stars!

This past holiday was my 4th time here and I will be booking again for the future when I can. The hotel is clean, staff are so friendly and helpful and I always feel safe as someone who goes on holiday alone. Rooms cleaned everyday and the maintenance team are always out and about. The food gets better every year. The variety was fantastic this trip, especially with more desserts and meat choices. The pork ribs in the Andalusian restaurant are to die for. Bar service is always so quick. Nothing is ever an issue. No sun bed wars, everyone is really chilled and it made for a great holiday. Top

Enjoyable Stay

I was really worried reading the 1 star reviews, however the hotel is well maintained, extremely clean and pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade on arrival. A choice of pools with a quieter pool being available at the back of the hotel. Make sure that you visit Mijas and Malaga as made our holiday. The C1 train from La Colina perfect and cheap for travelling around. Food is what you expect for an all inclusive lots of choice but does get repetitive after a few days or so. If you have booked this hotel there is nothing to dislike and hotel staff always very pleasant. Lots to do outside of ho
