Hotel good if you are over 60, mostly elderly and disabled, rooms clean, food ok, entertainment not that great, but plenty outside the hotel. One thing i did like was everyone sanitizing there hands before going into the dining room. Would come back to this hotel in maybe 20 years.

Just returned from the Rio Park after a wonderful 11 night stay. The hotel at this time of year is mainly full of elderly people but they know how to enjoy themselves!! Our room overlooked the pool and had the sun. The lifts were good and easily accessible. The food is excellent and there is always something for everyone even chips at breakfast some days! There is a new bar which is accessed via the terrace and pool. They show football on the large screen and have live entertainment also. The staff are all very friendly and can't do enough for you. The bedding and towels are very clean and the towels and bathmats are replaced daily. The beds have blankets for the winter months and extra pillows are available. The bedroom walls are a bit thin but we were fortunate not to be bothered by any noise throughout our stay. The hotel is very accessible for the local bars and beaches and the local bus service is fantastic with a static fare of 1.4 euro for a very long ride. We have used the hotel on many occasions and have been very happy with it. It should receive more stars. It is voted one of the best hotels in Benidorm repeatedly.

Before arriving at the Rio Park I was aware that a supplement was neccessary to be paid to obtain a single room,and also that they did not have a balcony,however in order to take a holiday a calculated risk was taken that the facilities would be suitable.

When I entered the room I was quite surprised to see the solitary small window was not provided with steel bars,as I am reasonably sure that a prisoner may well consider their human rights had been infringed,and also I cannot understand the justification of paying a supplement for a room that is only able to contain one person.

I have obviously been made aware of the jargon used by hotels and tour operators that it costs them more to cater for single travellers,and yet in my experience even when using a twin,they are not likely to use both beds,which would be the only reason why costs would be higher,and where a single room is allocated at a higher cost,then surely this represents fraud!

The Rio Park hotel however is excellent in all other aspects,food,friendliness,cleanliness,adequate dining facilities,comprehensive buffets,and bars/entertainment are all without fault,and they fully justify an additional star standard-is it the single rooms that deny them an upgrade?

It is a pity that I am unlikely to use the hotel again,as though not too much time is spent in the room I do appreciate a little comfort while I am there.

just got back yesterday and i honestly think this hotel is 3*plus, the food is absolutely fantastic
and plenty of choice,the rooms are a decent size and kept well clean by the staff,the bar prices are very reasonable to say they have entertainment on every night and i find the staff and reps very helpful,would i return to Rio-Park,(TOMORROW)the only downside the walls are not very soundproof,
a strong recommendation is use the room safe and leave your jewelry in,do not wear any chains around your neck in daylight,and men to keep there wallets in front pockets.its not a nice sight seeing people who have had their jewelry stolen.hope this helps.
