Hotel Riudor

I love this hotel. I am here today 12.2.19, staying for a week full board. This marks 40 years since my first stay here. As a small child I visied every year with my parents, I met my husband whilst staying here and after 28 years of marriage we still return here for one of our holidays each year. The hotel is a lovely size only 148 rooms so quite small by benidorm standards. The rooms are immaculate, and have been recently refurbished. The club rooms take some beating. The hotel offers buffet style dining forall meals and the food is amazing. Even the fussiest eater would find something to enjoy and there are lots of vegetarian options available. The hotel entertainment is good for the clientele base, mainly the more mature guest, many of whom return year on year. The hotel has become an adults only hotel in recent years. Finally, i must mention the staff who are wonderful. Most have been here since I was a child and have become like 2nd family. The bar staff, Toni, antonio, simon, juan and paco are friendly, helpful and fun. The restaurant staff are aso friendly and helpful as are the domestic staff and receptionists. I cannot praise them enough.

Rooms are nice now they have been refurbished, what I would now expect for a 3 star, cabaret room and bar could do with a makeover, very dated and chairs need replacing. We found all the staff very polite, the staff in the restaurant, mostly just 2 of them worked like machines clearing tables and taking orders for drinks and bringing them to you. Now for the restaurant food, if you like meat, don't bother staying there, never had so many lumps of fat and lumps of gristle and tough, sliced meat for the week was only ham, brawn, salami and roast beef just the the once, and that was chewy. No choice in cheese, just tastless sliced processed 3 times a day for the 7 days. This was our 5th stay at the Riudor and last. Definetly cut down on the quality to what they used to serve.
