We are currently half way through a one week stay. Here is my honest opinion of the resort. Arrival and check is was quick and effortless. We arrived on a coach load so i shot in whilst the wife collected the bags. I wouldn’t of wanted to of been at the back of the line ! The staff where pleasant and gave us a quick run down of where everything was and then it was off to the room. The room is fine, very spacious - No issues here. The hotel is not nearly as big as people are making out, yes the rooms are spread out but all the amenities are centralised around the pool area. There is a distinct lack of toilets and dependant on where you sit you may have a short walk. On first sight the resort looks really neat and tidy, it isn’t. There are cracked tiles, rust, things hanging off etc. The day beds are all ripped and the cushions in need of a good wash. As many people have stated the beach is not great. There is a small sectioned off area for the hotel which is not very tidy at all. The rest of the beach is public and is not nice at all. It is littered with people trying to get you to stroke their camels and buy their tat. The sunsets are however spectacular but this is nothing to do with the hotel. I would say Blackpool beach is of a better quality, really. The drinks and bars are a real let down. It does not matter what you get at the pool, it all comes in a plastic cup and tastes awful. Don’t be expecting fancy cocktails, you won’t get one. The pool bar areas are filthy. The machines are rusty, chocked up with pieces of wood and are littered with wasps. People must be paying good money to get a drinks service because we have not been offered once, regardless of tipping. The hotel is dead with the bar staff mostly stood around doing little. You shouldn’t have to front load to get a drink. The food is adequate, not amazing and not awful. There is plenty to choose from at breakfast, lunch - not so much. They tend to have the same dishes day in and out with only the protein being different. The evening is much the same. The only a la carte we have tried is the Moroccan and I certainly would not go again. I had a lamb tajine and it was not great. The lamb was very ***** and a struggle to chew. The wife had chicken and it was drier than the soil that surrounds the plants. The desserts are quite nice on a positive note. One thing I can say is the staff are really pleasant in the restaurants. So, would I come back - No. for what we have paid it’s ok but I know that people pay a lot of money to come here. A palace it is defiantly not. I associate RIU Palace hotels with Rixos Premiums - this is no where near.
