Creepy receptionist and very poor stay
Started off with an unpleasant welcome as a late arrival as the hotel couldn’t find my booking so was just told to wait. The check in guy at reception was deliberately unhelpful, talking over me every time I spoke and refusing any suggestion that would enable me to get my room. Eventually I had to pay twice to get my room. My room had no WiFi, the key cards didn’t work, the shower head was shoulder height as I was put in a disabled room, which couldn’t actually be accessed by wheelchair, the room was very tired and worn out, I paid for all inclusive but given the late arrival and faff by the hotel I was told I had 10 mins to eat before they closed for the night, the staff were unable to tell me if I had been charged twice or not and I’d need to speak to the manager as they had no idea, but they don’t have a manager who works after 5pm - in a hotel whereby the main service is provided at night. In the morning I asked to speak to the manager yet wasn’t allowed. When I checked out with a different lady the very rude and strange guy who checked me just stared at me even though he wasn’t dealing with me then walked over pointing scissors at me. A really odd bloke who has no place in hospitality.

no drinks in room fridge not even bottle of water, could not change pool towels until 4pm each day and only 1 location you could this. Some of the staff were very surly and felt that they did not want to be there. As a riu class member found this the worst Riu hotel i have stayed in. Saving grace was that the food was very good.

Overall not a great experience
Our rooms view was incredible, we sprung the extra for a junior suite. At first glance it seemed very nice, although oddly small for a “suite”. Our king bed was two twin cots put together. After three nights both my husband and I could barely walk from the back pain. When you moved in the bed I could hear the plyboard shift below me. The pillows were flat and small. I enjoyed the breakfast but found the lunch and dinner to be exactly the same at the buffet. Repetitive bland food would be my overall. The two restaurants were terrible. We tried them then decided to stick with the buffet. On the third night we had a bug problem. They did seem to take it seriously and came with raid immediately. Unfortunately, that night we had to sleep in the smell of raid as we couldn’t open doors as the bugs would come in.

Disliked: Amenities
The facility is well kept and the views are outstanding. Everything else was average or below. Food is not seasoned and either under or overcooked. You can count on the breads and fruit to be good. Everything else is either inedible or needs salt - fried fish had bones, French toast raw in the middle, just icky. Rooms have the thinnest towels and no wash cloths. No conditioner or lotion either. Nothing stocked in the fridge. Shower wouldn’t maintain a temperature - it would go cold for a couple seconds and then about scald you and then go back to where you set it for a couple minutes. We couldn’t get the thermostat to do anything. It was so hot in our room and the AC wouldn’t work. We opened our balcony door to let in fresh air but the one day the people next to us were smoking on their balcony and it blew straight into our room. Shows were ok but not great. I’d stay somewhere else if I go back to Malaga.
