    Not Good
    24 Apr , 2019 alexthorn1995, 186338
    We booked this holiday hoping for a week of luxury and relaxation. However, what we received wasn't that. Upon arriving at the hotel we were provided a room that was unacceptable, dead insects under the glass on the table, room was generally dirty. So we went back to the reception and asked for rooms to be changed. Upon our second room, the standard was better but they were all really dated not very modern at all. Although there were blood on the bed sheets, which we had to wait a long time to get changed we continued with this room in the hope of enjoying our holiday. We then came upon the issue that there was no iron in the room. (Understand they are not in all hotel rooms as standard) We called reception to ask for one and was told they do not have any and to try and rent one from the hotel shop. We went to the shop on multiple occasions and no irons available. Therefore, all holiday we had to walk around with creased clothes... Great. The other problem we came across was that we forgot our universal power adapters. Again thinking like most hotels they would have a stock that we could borrow or put a deposit on. Unfortunately not, again we had to try and rent one from the hotel shop which were out of stock for most of our holiday. Meaning all phones / camera's / laptops were out of battery after the past couple of days. We also asked TUI reps onsite to assist with these issues we were having but we didn't get any resolution. The food was the worst food I have ever eaten. Everything was drowning in Oil and I ended up having the same food every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner as i couldn't eat anything else. I appreciate there is a lot of people to feed on this complex but personally I think the food was not great. We even looked to book a flight home early as we stayed for 7 days but were quite ready to leave after the first 2! On a plus side, the bar / restaurant staff were always helpful and happy to assist. Personally, I would not visit this hotel again.

    Fantastic resort

    A really lovely resort. Excellent staff and service. All of the employees go the extra mile to ensure that you have a great experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. The beach is lovely although too rough for all but the highly experienced swimmers, however with so many pools the need to swim in the sea is diminished. Loved every minute of our time here.
    Wonderful chill out time near a fantastic beach :)

    Having read most of the reviews about this hotel before our trip we were obviously a little reticent about what we would expect once we had arrived......we need not have worried as the Riu Touareg hotel and complex was everything that we had hoped for. From the moment we checked in the staff were really helpful and attentive, the complex was an oasis in the middle of nowhere, We stayed in the adult only section and our room was lovely and the staff kept it really clean and tidy throughout our stay The food and drink was very good considering the scale of the operation of catering to the masses........but the main event for us was the beach.....fabulous. We spent most of our time on the beach and in the sea.......once we had mastered getting in and out past the big breaking waves.....walking along the beach it felt at times we had the beach to ourselves. There were plenty of pools to choose from as well so it will cater for all. We would both highly recommend staying here......i know some other reviews are not always this positive but this experience for us was exactly as it was advertised.....all we wanted from this trip was total relaxation and it delivered.
    Amazing place Hot
    23 Apr , 2019 Vik A
    Wow what an amazing please, the hotel is big out in the middle of nowhere. Went 2nd week of April the weather was hot, Stayed in Block 8 next the the infinity pool. The staff at the hotel were really helpful from the day we went till the day we left, stayed for 7 days. The food was all good all sorts of vegi food the only issue i had was that some of the people used to use the meat utensil to pick up vegi food, my boy not one but a few times came back with pasta with meat. The Pools were cold but once your in its fine, the entertainment team kept everyone busy at the pool side which was fun. The drinks well fruit punch was rum amazing, they will even top it up with extra rum if you ask. The staff at the pool bar were all friendly big up the Levy knew what i wanted every time i walked up to the bar. There is a local shop on site prices can be a little high. If you a fan of crisps & nuts with your drink take a few bags with you otherwise you will be paying 6Eours for pringles. Would i go again yes.
