I turned up to a hotel booked three months ago, and paid for at that time as well. It was late in the evening, ca 10pm local time. They told me they had no room for us (including my elderly mother) and that we needed to go to a different hotel. Not one person apologised, they told us they were upset with their sales department for overselling, but didn’t consider that we might have had concerns on it too.

They moved us from an adult only hotel to one full of children. Somehow three glasses of beer at dinner that we weren’t planning to eat that neither of us drink was to make this better? The hotel treated us with contempt. Eventually we could move back to the hotel we actually booked but we were punished by losing the twin room we booked and received a double bed instead. Absolute disaster of a trip? I would not recommend this hotel.

The hotel is located next to a very noisy street and they are unable to control the noise outside, therefore if you are on the wrong side of the hotel you will experience very uncomfortable amounts of noise all night long. There is no way to know this until you’ve arrived at your room. Some parts face quiet sections.

Great hotel at a great value - clean and comfortable rooms with great views, good selection on the breakfast and dinner buffet and ideal location right across the way from the beach.
One thing to note is that the area primarily draws German tourists and is surrounded by German restaurants and nightclubs - which means for those travelling from other countries and looking for more traditional Spanish food and fare, you have to travel into town and away from the hotel.

For $ 250 a day you get a dump.

A room was booked for 1 night overlooking the sea for $ 250. Gave a room on the 1st floor below the cafe level! They refused to change. Safe for money. The restaurant staff at 2 meters from the table made a collection of dirty dishes. The key to the room is usually ancient with a key ring.
Reception staff who worked on 06/30/2019 rating 1. The worst service for the entire stay.

Good resort hotel

Charming reception staff. Well-appointed room, comfortable bed. Some noise at night as the walls are a little thin. It is a resort hotel and thus breakfast is more canteen than restaurant. But overall, for the type of hotel, it was good.

Be carefull on reservations -

Overall is was good BUT I booked an ocean front room through my agent. My reservation also stated that Marie from reservations guaranteed this. However this was not on the hotels reservation ( was on my confirmation) and they said that their central reservations could not book an ocean front room. (sounds wrong to me) So needless to say, I did not enjoy the Ocean as I expected. My travel agent is contacting the hotel about a refund so will update this review after I hear from them.( I had a feeling that the hotel must cater to some regulars and that was their excuse to appease them.) I stayed 5 days and never got my ocean front. Area was very active and fun.

Quiet hotel but sadly in a noisy area

This is a lovely hotel. Could not fault the service we received during our stay. Reception staff were faultless. Breakfast was lovely with a good selection. Hotel inside was very quiet and relaxing.
The downside our room looked out over a very busy street where there were hundreds of Germans partying. Although the double glazing in 5he room was excellent and kept much of the noise out you could still here the chanting and cheering till gone 5am.
Not all rooms have this problem and reception acted swiftly and we were moved the next day.

Some Tranquality in a busy party resort

Again, the RIU group provides high-quality experience for the holidaymaker. The hotel although smaller than many RIU hotels, maintains a high standard of excellence in all regards. The hotel fabric, cleanliness, staff helpfulness and friendliness and meals are excellent. Full marks.

The hotel is on the promenade and is in the centre of a party resort but maintains a level of tranquility and quality. Appreciated.

Great hotel.. Shame about location.

The hotel is lovely with fantastic staff who go above and beyond. Unfortunately the area wasn't to my taste, not that it was a bad neighbourhood or anything it's just everything was targeted for German tourists. We felt very out of place as Brits, even in the hotel we were the only Brits there.

The breakfast and dinner in the hotel wasn't great either, very greasy and again targeted more for German tastebuds although hotel staff were fantastic. The area felt safe but we didn't venture out much as there really isn't much to do other than going to the few beach bars/restaurants next to the hotel for lunch/dinner.

We paid a big price for an absolutely rubbish massage in the hotel. The girl was fully booked and squeezed us in and when she arrived she said she only had 20 minutes per person and not 25 but she happily charged us the full amount for less time! Poor attempt at a massage and so light handed I barely felt any pressure!

The rooms we had were on level 2, clean fairly spacious rooms and bathrooms but all we could ever hear was continuous water flow from other rooms. Every morning we'd hear banging and the cleaners making so much noise very early in the morning! I was glad we were only their for 3 nights.

All in all, the hotel is stunning, smells amazing and the staff make it what it is but the location was poor. That'll teach me to book something last minute!

La struttura è bella e funzionale, la camera forse un pochino piccola ma pulita ogni giorno in maniera maniacale.
Il cibo è buono, con molta varietà di pietanze e di buona qualità.
Il personale è sempre molto cortese e sorridente, sempre disponibili e professionali.
Nei dintorni, ci molti locali dove poter mangiare e bere. La zona è molto frequentata e c'è confusione anche di notte (in prevalenza tedeschi).
Si trova proprio di fronte la spiaggia, dove ci sono ombrelloni e lettini gestiti direttamente dal comune.

Quel gâchis pour cet hôtel, tous ces gens saouls qui passent leur temps à boire, crier et vomir de 12h jusqu'au milieu de la nuit. Dans tout le quartier et toutes les rue qui entourent l'hôtel. Impossible de dormir avant tard dans la nuit.

Good surprise in El Arenal

Building located in the Arenal area, sea front. Team is outstanding: professional, polite, customer oriented. Buffet dinner is way above expectations showing variety and quality, Breakfast is good and room is comfortable and clean. A small remark: room soundproof is not that great meaning that in pick season, neighbour rooms and corridor noise can be bothersome.

Excelente atenciones

Un hotel muy cómodo, con excelente atenciones de todo el personal, se preocupan porque te sientas bien en cada momento. Tanto el desayuno como la cena muy rico y variado. Hay una parada de bus a sólo 100 metros del Hotel, que te conecta con el Aeropuerto o con la ciudad de palma de mallorca.

Top Lage. Super nettes Personal. Das beste Hotel wenn man an der Playa ein paar schöne Tage verbringen möchte. Nur das Buffet ist Massenabfertigung. Preis /Leistung des Buffets ist aber super. Wer Urlaub aber auch mit gutem Essen verbindet, sollte ohne HP buchen und ausserhalb die vielen Restaurants nutzen.

Modernes, sauberes Hotel mit ausgezeichnetem Essen

Das Hotel bietet einen guten Service, wurde komplett renoviert und ist sehr sauber. Auch, dass alle Zimmer über einen Balkon verfügen.

Ich hatte Halbpension gebucht und habe die reichhaltigen schmackhaften Büffets sehr genossen.

Das Hotelpersonal war besonders herzlich und serviceorientiert. Wegen eines Schadens an meinem iPhone, den ich verursachte, war mir die Rezeption äußerst behilflich den Schaden mit meiner Versicherung zu regulieren.

Tolles Hotel, nicht mal 100 Meter zum Strand.

Ich würde dort persönlich zu Normalen Ballermann Zeiten, nicht übernachten. In der Nebensaison und auch wegen Corona war es dort ruhig und ein schönes Wochenende.

Vielleicht mal wieder für eine Wochenende in der Nebensaison.

Amazing sea view!

Another great experience at Riu San Francisco!
Staff at reception and restaurant are all nice, kind and friendly.
I truly recommend the rooms with sea view at higher floor (5th is the highest for standard rooms), as you can enjoy an amazing sunset view while relaxing at your balcony.
The hotel is placed in front of a very enjoyable pedestrian promenade with no traffic.
The rooms are spotless clean and I really liked the turquoise details.
Room doors are still locked with a normal key, no key card is used in the hotel, but that's not a big deal.
Half board consist of a buffet with a wide variety of food, both at breakfast and dinner.
Surely, I would recommend this hotel for great value of money. A perfect stay for your holiday!

Great value for money, nice rooms

The room was spotless clean and I really liked the turquoise details. The shower was big enough and the hot water comes quite fast, but, even with closed door, some water came out of the shower. The balcony is much wider than expected.
Not impressed by the comfort at night. It seems that the wall and the door are too thin, so you may be woken up at night by unruly customers coming back late and shouting.
Room doors are still locked with a normal key, no key card are used in the hotel, don't know why, as the hotel is well renovated.
Room with sea-view on the first floor doesn't actually let you watch the see clearly. You should request a higher floor to enjoy the sea view much better.
Breakfast and dinner were included in the price. Both consist of a large buffet with lots of variety of food. Quality of some food such as pasta can be much better, but if you choose meat and vegetables, they are well prepared. Anyway, for the price you pay, it's more than enough.
Staff are all nice, friendly and helpful. Would anyway recommend this place for great value of money

Bell'hotel, peccato per la zona

Ho soggiornato assieme alla mia compagna la prima settimana di agosto. Buon hotel, pulito, colazione internazionale e cena a buffet ricca per tutti i gusti. L'hotel è fronte mare quindi nulla da dire sulla posizione. Parcheggio bene o male al max 100mt dall'hotel si trova gratuitamente. L'unica pecca è che quella zona è piena di tedeschi e i locali sono x tedeschi, addirittura birrerie in stile bavarese. Noi personalmente non abbiamo vissuto la Spagna in quella zona di Maiorca.
