The hotel is built for families, and the rooms show it. The Double Standard is 32 square metres with a balcony or terrace, and connecting doubles with sea view let two rooms share a family. The Family Suite has two large bedrooms in 67 square metres. Adults can book a Double room Swim-Up, 36 square metres with a private pool on the terrace, and the oceanfront Suite reaches 60 square metres. A RIU Party room sits inside the hotel's party area for those who want to be close to the music.
Seven restaurants share the work. Coral is the main buffet, with live cooking and themed nights. Kullinarium serves creative gourmet dishes a la carte, Margarita does tacos, fajitas and guacamole, Shangri-la is Asian and Steak House is the grill. Pepe's Food handles breakfast and lunch by the pool, and Tiki Taco is a taco buffet for lunch and snacks. Bars sit by the pool and indoors.
Children have the RIU Land kids' club and a children's pool, while adults can try water sports, RIU Fit classes or the Renova Spa for massages and personalised treatments. Evenings bring live music and shows, plus the themed RIU Party nights. The hotel also hosts weddings.
It suits families who want a hotel-zone address, a kids' club and a beach with free loungers.
