After reading reviews I booked with some caution. However, the hotel is excellent, the staff do speak English, the food was very very good and the drinks list on the all inclusive was excellent. The location however may not be to everyone's taste particularly I suspect if choosing half board or room and breakfast. The beach in this area is... More

I have stayed at this hotel at least twice a year for the last 7 years, how disappointing to see that the Riu Standards had gone down since being takenover by Iberostar. The food was nice typical buffet sytle but ok, however if you chose not to have all inclusive you were left with no eating options during the day.... More

The Buffet Breakfast was excellent and had a huge selection. On our last morning we had to leave before breakfast was served, but... More

We stayed here back in July for 2 nights after spending a few days in Nerja as Torrox looked beautiful. We found it very hard to actually find a hotel when we arrived in Torrox but we spotted this one which was absolutely huge and we were very glad we found it! The hotel is massive and located right on... More

Arriving at the grand entrance, all the stress was gone :) taxi from the airport was 80euros, which was expected. We arrived at 11am, we were hoping to get 1 out of the 2 booked rooms to dump our luggage in,... More
