I have stayed at quite a few rui hotels and unfortunately this was not only the worst rui experience, it was the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. We arrived , and from the outside the hotel does look like it is in desperate need of painting. The pool area was shabby, plastic chairs, coffee from plastic carton cups,... More

We booked a last minute holiday and stayed in the riu helios in sunny beach. It was one of the best holidays we have had. We were right on the beach and also a 5min walk to local bars and restaurants. The weather in July was boiling hot. For a fully inclusive holiday for a week we paid £500.00 per... More

Well we had an eleven night stay here and although they were preparing to close, it didn't stop the hotel from still looking after us very well. The rooms were spacious, quiet and had a great view of the pool and the sea (well a bit of it). The food was all buffet style, but was always hot with a... More

Booked 7 nights all inclusive platinum 4*. Resort good. Although staff are friendly, we found the hotel to be grubby and dated. Beds uncomfortable, air conditioning poor, dirty towels often folded and replaced in bathroom. Pool empty has the water was freezing, saw staff dipping sponges in pool to wipe loungers. Food cold and often inedible even more so when... More

Its clean, but very tired, as it was the end of the season, they were winding down, packing away the sun beds and not cleaning the outside... More
