Hotel berhampiran Playa Pasito Blanco, Pasito Blanco

We have just arrived home from this Beautiful Resort First the plus Stunning location Beautiful Hotel Immaculate in every single corner of the hotel. Even down to the toilets I never once saw any rubbish or mess anywhere Tropical Chill Out Bar wow wow wow this place is great to grab a drink during the day if you in a nearby pool or just passing through but come evening is when this place comes into its own Sunset from here is nothing short of breathtaking with the sound of the waves from the sea below it’s just the best place and add into that the saxophonist. That’s playing at this time and the fabulous bar stuff it’s a 10/10 The grounds around the whole hotel are fabulous with a cacti theme it’s just beautiful The rooms we had a Privilege Room on 6th floor. Again immaculate Safe plenty of storage space two beds a sofa and a beautifully renovate room and bathroom And a furnished balcony with a view over the infinity pools and over the sea. This is one of the nicest views I’ve had in a hotel Mini bar refilled every two days Food we had access to alacarte being privilege the Natralia at lunch time again over looking the water by the main pools was 10/10 the menu was great and food amazing This Restaurant became the Brasserie in the evening and again food 10/10 There is also two premium bar lounges to visit where you can serve yourself drinks. This is odd as it closes at 8pm. Would be nice to be able to sit there after dinner Now for the not so Tamara buffet is plentiful for breakfast lunch or dinner but the food was often like warm at best sadly this was disappointing. And often left you wishing you had chosen another place The teppanyaki restaurant The chef was amazing so precise with his cooking and his serving of food. However this too was a little disappointing as I have had this type of meal in the past and it was an experience and show almost but not here it was a silent he cooks you sit. Not chat no show of cooking and eat Don’t get me wrong food was nice just two hours of silence Another thing I found very disappointing I have stayed all inclusive premium class before and room service is inclusive. Now when you book it says room service what it doesn’t say is at a high additional cost The biggest down side and we spoke with many people and it’s very clear to see too the Pools. All of them are supposed to be heated. They are freezing cold to the point they take your breath away when you get in This spoilt our time as the weather was hot and we love making use of hotel pools but all of these were far too cold and it was obvious as there would only ever be the odd person braving the very cold temperatures in them With all this being said it is a stunning place and for the Natralia Brasserie and the Chill out bar. It’s worth the visit. Would we return If the pools were sorted and were warm yes. Otherwise sadly I don’t think we would but it will always be special for the evening views and sunset

Just returned after our 6th visit, on the whole had another great holiday, lovely to meet up again with returning guests from Germany, UK, etc Food was superb once again as was the service in the Magnolia Restaurant, bars & pool service, not forgetting Martin entertaining us as usual! Entertainment good especially the excellent Centennial! Must just mention the hard working Gardeners who keep the grounds looking beautiful, they are a credit! A point I must mention is RIU relaxation of the dress code in the evening allowing men to wear shorts in the restaurant, this is fine if they are tailored shorts but people were wearing pool shorts etc this isn’t acceptable for a 5 star hotel, please take note RIU! All in all thanks to everyone, looking forward to our next visit.

The hotel was ok.Very nice architecture reminding of Africa. They even have some real baobabs. But there was one issue why we will not return. The light in the evening was so dim, they you could not read the menu in the bar. Same in the rooms. They do not give the guests the opportunity to decide how much light there is in the room. No extra lamps or a dimmer. There is only this African savannah light everywhere. Also light from outside all over the day is dim, due to loggia construction instead of balconies. Difficult to read a book in the evening.

Great experience, worth the money, especially during off-season. Had a great stay, will definitely come back.
