A superb hotel, spotlessly clean in all areas, excellent choice of food in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner. The staff were friendly and professional at all times. Plenty of sun beds so no need to “reserve” them although some people still felt the need. We would definitely go back

My wife and I spent 5 wonderful days at Riu Nautalis in Spain. The Hotel was clean, comfortable and the Buffet had some wonderful food choices. The hotel was near the beach and was within walking distance of shops, reasaurants and bars. We had a wonderful time and will use Riu hotels in the future.

All areas were very clean and both breakfast and dinner were of a very high quality. The air conditioning was not on the first 2 nights of our stay which made sleeping quite uncomfortable. It was turned on after that but it is something to note that they don't have air conditioning until "summer", not sure how that is decided. When booking that should be made more clear as it is advertised as "air conditioning in all rooms". The noise in our room was sometimes excessive at night with a bar underneath the balcony and early in the morning it was loud from the corridors with the cleaners talking.

Super Nice hotel.

Fantastic Hotel. right down to the promenade, the beach and the Mediterranean. Nice pool with plenty of sunbeds, even if you arrive late there is the option of getting a sunbed. Super delicious morning and evening buffet. Possibility of a la carte in the evening. Very clean and nice common areas. Friendly and welcoming staff. +18 years to stay at the hotel provides a nice and quiet hotel, both day and night. It's certainly not the last time we've been there. Greetings, a couple in their 60s.

Four plus

The hotel interior is a little bit used, but otherwise ok. Beds are side by side but separated that was a problem for us. Average age of the clients is about 70. Pool is excellent. Altogether satisfied with the holidays.

Disliked: Amenities
For the price they charge, and they call themselves four stars and ‘palace’ it’s a bit of a stretch. The one good thing is it’s adults only so no crying babies anywhere. The breakfast and dinner are great but it’s too crowded and loud no matter what time you go. Same with the pool area. Too crowded. The pool itself is shallow, a max of 4 feet. It’s not deep at all so you can walk from one side to the other and they keep it at a too warm temperature, like a bath or a jacuzzi. I would have preferred it to be cooler especially when it’s 40 degrees Celsius! The rooms are great (but I guess it depends what room you get) I befriended the staff working in the dining room and they were lovely. When I asked them what time they eat dinner…. They said they don’t… and that all that food gets thrown out instead of allowing their hardworking staff to eat there or to take it home. It’s a shame to throw all that out. Beware though that in your room you get one bottle of water on the first day and that’s it. They have no place to fill up your water bottle… which is ridiculous. So you have to keep buying plastic bottles. Be aware also that during the dinner buffet they don’t offer water (free) either prepare to pay 3 euros for water during dinner. Or other soft drinks. Also, one of the days I needed a bandaid so I went to the front desk/reception and they didn’t have any which surprised me again as this is supposedly a 4 star hotel… The pool area has a war of seats early.

Checkout Staff disgraceful

Extremely rude Gentleman on check out today. Named Abdel. Abdel should be trained up in the correct attitude towards guests, for example, he could ask how a persons stay was, and perhaps not hang up so abruptly upon denying a late checkout. The hotels not full and I’d have booked further days without that checkout experience if they could have organized a proper double bed for us. Single beds only it seems?? Also, a policy of talking to younger clients like a teacher would do, I am 45, the hotel was I’d estimate at a third occupancy of mainly Dutch retirees. We were told that the hotel does not allow ppl use the facilities after check out. The Lady made an exception for us it seems as the pool wasn’t busy. Excuse me for expecting the use of facilities on check out day. Speaking of checkout it was our delay in checking out that ruffled the feathers of Mr Abdel. I make no apologies for being tardy to checkout when you arrive the night before at 9pm.
