What our customers say
Just got back from the above listed apartments in Torrox.
Booked a 2 bedroom apartment for 8days for the 4 of us. The hotel is impressive finely decorated in the main reception lobby, the bar and the free wi fi zone are also kept spotless. The only disappointment was the location of the main building compared to the apartment block, it felt that you were not part of the hotel as such, having a separate access to the apartments, would have preferred to have been located inside the main complex.
The rooms i found adequate, cleaned daily to a good standard although any used cups would not be washed out for you. The kitchen is basic but depends on how much you want to use it, if self catering it would be a nightmare to use.
The pool is presented to a good standard although being the month of April the pool was too cold for any one to use. Facilities for the children were basic, but it was out of season at the time.
The restaurant we found to be reasonable, but the selection of food was a bit disappointing, albeit fine if you like the continental style of food. One good thing is that upon arrival / check in you are presented with a sitting option for your evening meal, this avoids the usual scrum for the dinner tables , we opted for 6.30pm 1st sitting.
The staff are friendly , helpful and do take pride in the roles, plenty of staff to people ratio, but the thing that i noticed was that there seemed to be more favoritism towards the German tourists.
The indoor pool was as cold as the outdoor pool , indoor heating would have been an advantage.
Pro's: Well presented hotel, with keen , friendly staff, and good accommodation standards,
Meals good choice and cost at the pool side snack bar, for lunch.
Con's: Too many German tourists, poor choice of food, isolated with very little to do i the evenings . The entertainment was terrible presented mainly by the same two people every other night, and ended at 10.30pm. The location of the hotel not a child nor family holiday location more suited to older couples. Not a family orientated hotel.The beach was dirty and consisted of huge stones and pebbles.
I have given this hotel a rating of 8/10 but that is just based on the hotel itself.
food:3/10
room:8/10
Facilities:3/10
Location: 2/10
I don't think I'd return to this hotel but would defiantly recommend the riu chain of hotels.
One more thing your not obliged to buy a drink with your evening meal.
