We visited here for 4 nights in February as a group of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids. Transfer was quick from the airport, when we arrived we had not been allocated rooms beside each other so were told to go for lunch and receptionist would sort our rooms. On return this was all sorted and we were allocated 2 rooms on the 4th floor. Our room was actually an apar**ent, with kitchen, large bathroom with separate shower, living and dining area and bedroom with 2 double beds. A large balcony was accessible via the living room and the bedroom. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. We were all inclusive and overall I found the food good. Breakfast was excellent and dinner seemed to have theme nights. All the food I had was hot, fresh and well cooked and very tasty. My only criticism is the restaurant didn’t have a designated children’s section, eg no nuggets etc available. Snacks and drinks were available at the pool bar throughout the day and consisted of chips, nuggets, pizza, burgers, hot dogs and salads etc. At 4pm the hot food was removed and a selection of cakes and donuts were available. We were lucky with the weather but on one day it was particularly cold and windy with rain, there was nowhere inside to have food or get a drink and the snack bar didn’t have any covered areas. Not ideal and perhaps the inside bar should be opened if the weather is bad. Kids club ran in the morning and afternoon, my kids attended twice and enjoyed their visit. We didn’t watch any evening entertainment so can’t comment on that. The indoor pool must be pre booked and we did this when we knew the weather would be poor. I was very disappointed with this area, the pool is very deep with no shallower side for kids and no lifeguards on duty. The toilets and changing areas had no working lights so this was disappointing and difficult with kids. Location wise we knew in advance the hotel was quite isolated, we availed of the free bus to the bottom of the hill and walked into Fuengerola, this was a long walk and to be honest the resort felt run down and probably not worth a visit. Benalmadena on the other side is gorgeous. We ended up using Uber and Bolt which were both reasonably priced and readily available. We did visit the Polynesia hotel is a few minutes walk. It is massive and has a large arcade and ten pin bowling which was well priced. The bar there had a singer on in the early evening and this would have been nice to have in the Riwo as well. Overall we had a great time and I would consider returning in the future.
