Club Hotel Riu Guarana

Plenty of sunbeds all the time. Staff nice, helpful and attentive Pools not heated and not the deepest, but very big. People are right about there being a lot of kids but it wasn't like being in a playground. Was absolutely fine with my girlfriend (both 21), no problem unless you don't like children at all. Food is good not great. 10-15 minute walk to beach. Travelling to town centre or other towns will require an uber. Room was well cleaned, pretty big and very nice. Plenty of bars (pool bar, wet bar, sport bar, + another bar) and lots of places to eat including a snack bar throughout the day. Soft drinks, beer and cider are self serve.

We stayed for 7 nights in late June and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had 3 rooms in the family and they were all of a good standard. They were cleaned daily and the maid left us animals made from towels which were cute. The staff in the hotel were all friendly, especially the chap in the sports bar, who was hilarious each time we joined him for the football, especially when England were playing. The food in the restaurant was always good, and the oriental restaurant was extremely good. The location of the hotel is such that you can have a stroll outside the hotel at night to a few local bars. We visited the sea one day, but spent most days at the many pools. There were always lots of spare beds, and we managed to get 6 together every day. We don’t return to places we’ve previously stopped in, but if we did, we’d definitely revisit this hotel.

Booked for our family holiday, as our kids always break up early. 7 nights, could not fault this hotel. Very clean and was constantly kept clean, plenty sunbeds available even during busier time towards the end of our holiday. Atmosphere amazing, staff very polite, friendly and very helpful. Felt safe as very important when you have young children. Close to beach and shops and bars down the road, but felt like a quieter location which we loved. Used Uber and Bolt (discounts available) not too expensive to get to old town. Rooms spacious and loved that we were laced near our friends as well on the same ground floor which was easier with pram and kids. Spa amazing, access to pool with kids especially as baby found outdoor pools too cold. Could access daily and twice a day. Late breakfast option was a game changer as not all hotels offer this option, so didn't need to worry about missing breakfast if we wanted a lie in. Food was lovely, Mediterranean restaurant was the best. Asian restaurant was ok, but more like Indo- Chinese food. Snack bar fab food too, loved the walnut and almond cakes with gluten free options available! Ice poles available definitely needed them and slushies for kids, but also fab drinks. Good entertainment be it by the pool or in the evening with live music which we loved. Bouncy castle day got overwhelming so we went out for the evening. But great for kids. Only suggestion is to hire out ironing boards and irons to the rooms rather than in the laundry area only. Not practical. Also highly suggest staff remove towels off sunbeds where people reserve them before breakfast Nd don't return back for hours. Plenty of sunbeds available throughout the day but joggers do not help! Would be first come first serve basis only. Would return to this hotel for another holiday but would like a larger room as kid are getting older. Thank you for making our holiday lovely.
