Riu Papayas

My wife and i returned from here on christmas eve , and i must say we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay we were in room 226 the room was spotlessly clean the cleaner was in everyday with out fail we asked for extra pillows we had them within minutes , check in was very quick and efficent in our room within 10mins max , we only ever ate in the resturant as we found their was a fantastic variety on offer so noo need to eat in the themed resturants , all the food was piping hot and was replenished as soon as the dishes were nearl empty , my wife and I do not smoke so on an evening if you couldnt get a good spot you were subject to sitting beside the smoking tables ( tables could be better seperated for smokers to non smokers ) we found the bar staff very efficent never waited long for a drink and depending on how you liked your spirits they would make it to your taste for you. I would definetley come back but not in the summer as we like the sun and i can imagine it would be a nightmare in the summer as the sun canopys arent single they are on a large pully system over 3 rows of beds for some reason so could see this causing arguments .that said all in all a lovely holiday , all the staff were really really freindly .and grounds immaculate.wiil definetley be back.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay over new year, on the whole we enjoyed it. Food was good with a great selection, our room was very nice and a good size lovely bathroom and very clean. Staff are all very friendly and work hard we never had to queue at the bar they were fast and efficient. The drinks were very weak though especially the beer and wine that you helped yourself to, The Dunas bar was nice just spoiled by all the smokers, We found the hotel grounds are not big enough for how many rooms they have the sun beds are so squashed together with to many in the shade, you had to have your towel out by 8.30 or you might be in the shade, the best spots were always gone by 7am. There were very few British people there mostly German, Out side the hotel the resort of Playa del Ingles is a bit disappointing maybe it was good back in the seventies and eighties.

Although this hotel is lovely and clean, beds in room are amazingly comfy, food and drink are good (apart from the beer, which is supposed to be Amstel but my hubby says it tastes nothing like Amstel), please be aware that there is no inside lounge bar. At night it is cold and during the day there could be a very cold wind even if the sun is shining. If it rains, there is a small covered area by the pool where everyone tries to shelter. Okay, it may only rain for a short time but it still rains. May come back again but not in Winter and possibly not to this hotel, unless they create a heated / air conditioned inside lounge bar.
