Not the hotel we booked.
We booked the Riu Festival but on arrival was told we was moved to the Riu Concordia. Luckily it was only down the road. This hotel was excellent and cannot fault it one bit but very disappointed neither hotels.com nor the Riu group told us prior.

Very clean property and the staff was amazing. Room set up was great. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean and really liked the layout. The hotel is so close to the beach in a lively area. Or you can take a bus / 15-20 min cab ride to La Palma. You won’t get bored!

Fab hotel Clean and tidy A short taxi ride from the airport and regular bus service to palma. The food was exceptional massive choice and often something different every day. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and has a pool. No gym or spa. There seemed to be a lot of drunk germans about though

Hotel rooms and pool area spotlessly clean. No problem getting sun beds only thing lacking is no kettle in rooms and shortage of hanging space for longer clothing

Excellent
Really lovely staff - on reception and in the restaurant and bars. I checked-in really late and out really early with no problem at all. Housekeeping great too - did the room while I was at breakfast. Loved the buffets. Great location for the beach - you get some party goers but I quite liked that atmosphere and i never lost any sleep from them. Less than 10 minutes and €20 to the airport, less than an hour and €2 to palma city - and the bus stop is nearby too.

As an extra short notice holiday this was perfect. Reduced crowds enabled us to see the sights and visit locations that otherwise would be challenging logistically in high season. Can't pick the weather which was changeable however there was enough good weather to make the whole experience enjoyable
Timothy Charles, 7-night trip

large room with wide bed proximity to the beach helpful staff large bathroom - small pool - cleaning - noise (and cigarette smoke) from drunk (German) groups
Martin, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic hotel. Excellent location, 5 mins walk to beach and 3 mins walk from bus stop to get bus to Palma or airport. Staff friendly and helpful. Food very good and plenty of choice. The whole area of El Arenal seems to be full of Germans but that didn’t bother us - the staff at hotel and in nearby bars all spoke good English.

It was fine for a cheap holiday. Would have been disappointed if it had been priced any higher .
Kirstin, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poor stay this time round
Requested a high floor, got a first floor. The room was situated directly above the entrance to the car park and overlooked the rubbish bins. Fridge didn't work and the room has two large pillars in the middle of the room which is not the best position. Double room with single occupancy but still got two twin beds. Stayed at the hotel several times, and I'm also a Riu Class member. Expected a lot better. The night previous stayed at the Riu Festival where the room had a double bed, a fridge that worked, a higher floor and no view of the dustbins. So Riu can offer better facilities - it was just rubbish this time. I should have stayed at the Festival for the extra night.

Hotel is half board ie. comes inclusive of buffet breakfast and dinner - only drinks needs to be paid for separately. The restaurant is extremely well run with good food, great variety of food in the buffet and fantastic service from the staff. They even prepared cold dinner platters for guests who check-in after the dinner service, which was very thoughtful as my flight was delayed and I arrived hungry. Overall I found our stay very worth it and would highly recommend.

Good impression in general, however cleaning service was not really as expected for 4 star hotel.
