Not the hotel we booked.

We booked the Riu Festival but on arrival was told we was moved to the Riu Concordia. Luckily it was only down the road. This hotel was excellent and cannot fault it one bit but very disappointed neither hotels.com nor the Riu group told us prior.

I loved the stay at the hotel; the staff was welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. However, the only downside was the location of the smoking section, which was positioned right in front of the main entry door. Every time the doors opened, the cigarette smoke wafted directly into the lobby, making the air unpleasant for non-smokers. It would be great if the hotel could relocate the smoking area to a spot farther away from the entrance to enhance the overall experience for guests.

Poor stay this time round

Requested a high floor, got a first floor. The room was situated directly above the entrance to the car park and overlooked the rubbish bins. Fridge didn't work and the room has two large pillars in the middle of the room which is not the best position. Double room with single occupancy but still got two twin beds. Stayed at the hotel several times, and I'm also a Riu Class member. Expected a lot better. The night previous stayed at the Riu Festival where the room had a double bed, a fridge that worked, a higher floor and no view of the dustbins. So Riu can offer better facilities - it was just rubbish this time. I should have stayed at the Festival for the extra night.

Very clean property and the staff was amazing. Room set up was great. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean and really liked the layout. The hotel is so close to the beach in a lively area. Or you can take a bus / 15-20 min cab ride to La Palma. You won’t get bored!

Fab hotel Clean and tidy A short taxi ride from the airport and regular bus service to palma. The food was exceptional massive choice and often something different every day. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and has a pool. No gym or spa. There seemed to be a lot of drunk germans about though

Amazing hotel, very clean with lovely rooms. Our stay was half-board and the food was fantastic with buffet style service, could eat as much as you wanted! The dining staff were lovely and very attentive. Compliments must go to the chefs! Cleaning service was great with friendly housemaid staff. A special thank-you to the housemaid who arranged for an extra pillow after I had asked the reception three times with no joy. Should have gone straight to the housemaid. Only downsides were the hotel next door could be a bit noisy but our stay was during Euro 24 so this could have been a factor. Also no iron available as stated in the hotel room information. On the whole 10 out of 10!

Really lovely staff - on reception and in the restaurant and bars. I checked-in really late and out really early with no problem at all. Housekeeping great too - did the room while I was at breakfast. Loved the buffets. Great location for the beach - you get some party goers but I quite liked that atmosphere and i never lost any sleep from them. Less than 10 minutes and €20 to the airport, less than an hour and €2 to palma city - and the bus stop is nearby too.
