Best beach ever - compared to beaches in Egypt, Thailand, Bali, etc. Quiet locale, kid-friendly, nice big family rooms. Food so-so - presentation definitely lacking, and atmosphere of main dining areas more student cafeteria than anything else... noisy and chaotic. More

Second time at the Riu Oliva.Stayed for 11 days in January 12. Lovely hotel food even better than two years ago, lots to choose from, well cooked and presented. Everything spotlessly clean.

The beach is a REALLY nice sand beach, to bad that we could't take out our drinks to the beach. We didn't expect much, just wanted to get away from the cold so the hotel... More

Firstly this is not my sort of holiday, the hotel was too big for my liking hence too many people, but was a last minute thing that my partner had booked.
