Very good family resort. This was our first family holiday with 7 and 3 year old and we had the best time. We spent most of our days at the beach club which the kids loved, food was fantastic and the drinks were on tap. They had pool games everyday and music playing from start to finish. The hotel pool we used twice which was good for us to watch the kids and just sit on the sun loungers enjoying the hot weather. They had plenty of games to get involved in and music playing as well as a pool bar so both adults and kids could just walk up and top up their drinks without leaving the pool. They also have a snack bar at lunchtime which was fab 👌. We went all inclusive which suited us perfectly with 2 young boys. The food was amazing with themed nights as well as the usual meats potato's and chips, a wide variety to suit all tastes. My only issue was the ant problem, the hotel had ants everywhere, but it didn't put us off. We had a blast, would recommend and would visit again 😀
Fabulous family friendly hotel. Has everything we could have needed for a perfect week away as a family of 4 (2 adults, 11yo and 7yo). All staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were huge and daily maid service kept them clean and tidy. The pool is big enough for all and sunbed availability never a problem, lots of umbrellas for shade when the sun became a bit much! The animation team were fantastic each day providing everyone with games and activities for all ages by the pool and the evening shows were varied and fun. Big shout out for pool bingo and water polo fun. Food and drink A*, queues were never big and we always got a table quickly. Good choice of food for all tastes and each night a different theme. Overall a perfect week break in the sun! Thanks you Hotel RiWo and the staff who made it so easy to enjoy!
We stayed at Hotel World Riwo for a week at the end of July with our group of five, including a 2-year-old — our first time in Costa del Sol! Overall, it was a really pleasant stay. The pool area is lovely, and we never had trouble finding a sunbed, which was a big plus. Having a little shop on-site with all the essentials made life easy, especially with a toddler in tow. Our rooms were surprisingly spacious, complete with a kitchen and living room — perfect for relaxing after a busy day. Getting down to the Beach Club was a breeze thanks to the regular bus service. The staff were super friendly, which made everything feel welcoming. Food-wise, the variety at meal times kept everyone happy, and the themed dinners (Mexican and Asian nights) were a fun treat. Plus, the kids’ evening entertainment was fantastic, with really dedicated staff who kept our little one entertained. On the downside, the hotel does feel a bit dated and could use a refresh. The wristbands for room access were tricky, and we ended up getting a key card instead. We also had a power cut one night and a fuse blew in our room, knocking out the air conditioning for a bit, which was a bit inconvenient. Lastly, vegetarian options were sometimes limited in the restaurant. All in all, it was a great family-friendly spot with plenty of positives to outweigh the few hiccups. We’d definitely consider coming back!
