Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort - All Inclusive

Firstly the location..to die for and if lucky to get a full on sea view room. Gorgeous !!!. The view of the beach and expansive sand dunes is straight out of a Sahara oasis. Hotel rooms are dated but all the necessary comforts you would expect, beds are comfy and mini fridge in room. But assure you the view compensates for any little niggles that on first reaction will immediately disappear and put a wow factor smile on your face. Just a note that will cause a reaction once you check in..NO wifi in rooms and only around the pool and bars located on ground floor areas...but if lucky to get a lower floor and on main sea view area. Chances are you will get the wifi from your balcony. Food is simply plentiful and so much choice from freshly cooked meats, the usual breakfasts to suit all palettes, deserts for that second or third trip !!! and wine, beer, soft drinks and water all at self service areas throughout both restaurant's. Snack bar area for those that just want skip lunch times with burgers, salads, French fries and must recommend the chicken wings. Yummy. Entertainment every evening and bars to cater for everyone's choice of tipple. Pool is heated and plenty of sun beds around so no early morning dash to claim one. The whole complex is run so smoothly by a very hard working team of cleaners, reception staff, bar staff and pool attendants. This is a 3 star plus for me and thoroughly enjoyed my time here and will most surely be coming back. Finally I have left a final comment...please experience that beach. Awesome and pure golden sand beyond the eyes can see that leads to the bluest and clearest sea ..Take a dip and spoil yourself at this beautiful scenic location.

The location was superb! Right next to an amazing beach.

Beach location, and the beach is very clean almost white sand. Good variety of food at all meals.

Plenty of facilities and very close to the beach The members of staff were lovely and helpful

I like the fact that has 2 separate parts with the small one more quite so you can switch to change the scenario. , they have the same facilities( restaurants/pool), one is bigger where the reception is and the animation team/game/evening shows etc. from the very beginning was great experience as the receptionist found me a room with the balcony, the room I booked didn’t have one. The management should be proud of the staff (everyone), they really nice. I met very nice people to chat, many are coming back regularly. It has a nice vibe. You just don’t want to leave, in fact I would’ve needed an extra week to do more things( excursions etc). The bus to Corralejo (25 min or less) is only 1.50€ but there are taxis outside and not expensive. . Food it’s the same but there’s a big variety and no queue as they have extended opening hours. Lots of fruits and salads which it’s very important. Plus meat and fish of course. It’s ok for vegetarians. Breakfast it’s great. Easy to indulge in drinking so I’d suggest not to get crazy as you waist the holiday. I’d recommend it if you need to rest and do nothing as they look after everything. Very positive experience, I’ll probably go back again in the near future.
