Clubhotel Riu Guarana reviews

4 readers found this review helpful
Just returned after spending two weeks at this new hotel. As regular Riu users we felt that this hotel was not the best we have visited, neither is it the worse. The pool area was dissapointing, as it was far too overcrowded, we did try to make a space for ourselves, but... more

My wife and I returned on 24/06 from 2 weeks at the Riu Guarana. For the last 4 years our son has been working as a Thomson Kids Rep, so we have been staying in whichever resort he was working in. His mum couldnt stand 8 months not seeing him! So this year we drew up a... more

Had 1 week here 10th June, (1 week was enough for us). It's brand new, so very clean, which is nice. Had welcome drink which was nice, but stood in a hectic queue lost the impact really. We took our own cases up, as the wait was long & wanted to unpack, don't think they... more

from jerrytaff
We stayed for a week with our 15 year old daughter in July. The hotel was OK, but not, we felt, up to the normal Riu standards. We had no problem reserving sun beds, but then we wanted to sit around the smaller quieter pool. The main pool was lively -too noisy for us. The sunbeds weren't very comfortable though - not the same as the type shown in the brochure. Most of the drinks are self-service, which is just as well as the bar service was awful. It wasn't worth using either, as the cocktails were the worst I've ever had; the...

Don' t worry be happy!!
from franieannie
I have just come back from a two week holiday in this hotel and my only complaint is that it wasn't long enough ! I won't go on too much cause I've just about said it all on the tripadviser forum ! The hotel was great ,the staff were great ,the food was great the weather was great what more can I say except to tell any one still to go that they will have a lovely time and to the people who have been whinging STOP MOANING AND HAVE SOME FUN ,WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU LOOKING FOR !?!
Fantastic Hotel!
from claireme
After reading all the other reviews we really wasn't sure what to expect but to be honest we could not fault this hotel! I can see why people who had previously stayed at the Riu Algarve Palace were not keen on this but what you have to bear in mind is that this is a clubhotel and geared up for none stop entertainment and is ultimately going to attract families. The animation team were great and did not hassel you if you did not want to join in which suited us fine. The food after a week could become a little repeatative and I...

Good hotel, great friendly staff
from tannerp
My wife and I stayed at this hotel from 31/7 to 7/8. The hotel is new this year, and the decor and finish reflects this. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. We requested a pool/sea view and were given room 533 which had both. However we found this room was directly underneath the hotels air con system on the roof and the noise at night was horrendous. We complained that evening and were given a different room to sleep in. In the morning they moved us to room 413 which had a similar view and was fine. We found the staff were very...

New hotel but the cracks are already showing
from boincuk
We had originally booked direct with RIU way back in January for the Algarve Palace. We were due to fly out on the 20th July, but on the 18th we received a phone call from RIU with an offer - would we be prepared to be transferred to the Guarana in a family room in the annex building with a pool view - and with a price reduction if we accepted the change. Now we never quite got to the bottom of the reason why, but I suspect they had overbooked the hotel - and as we had booked direct with them we could have said no. Before we committed...

A Lovely new hotel!
from Sue_at_the_seaside
We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Riu Guarana, which on the whole was very good. I think most things have been covered by previous reviewers. The restaurants were good, We didn't find them overcrowded, but we tended to eat late. The Grill restaurant was our favourite. We may not have been so exuberant about them if we had stayed 2 weeks! The beaches were lovely, if you have seen the photos that JonathanR posted, the picture doesn't do the steps to the beach justice, There are 300 steps, we counted them all. but it is...

What a let down
from Neiceywidnes
We stayed at the Club Riu Guarana for two weeks at the beginning of July. Last year we stayed at the Riu Palace Algarve and have spent the last 12 months singing its praises. As the Palace was booked up this year we decided we would try the Guarana (after all it was a Riu 4* hotel so we thought it would compare favourably) Not so. This year we haven't stopped talking about our holidays but all for the wrong reasons - too noisy, too busy and too many people for the size of the hotel. The majority of guests were Spanish. This...

very good break
from Simon_Fisk
Hi , Just got back from the Riu Guarana , We had booked the Algarve Palace direct with Riu but the Thursday before leaving we had a call from their booking department saying they had an over booking problem and asked if we would mind being moved to the sister hotel adjoing , The Guarana , they offered us a very good deal , charging us less money and also giving us all Inclusive . We are used to all inclusine in Mexico and the Dominican Republic so agreed to the change . My wife and I and our youngest son (10 ) went on 20th July for 1 week....

Brill Holiday
from sheebagh
Just back from 2 weeks in the Rui Guarana & can honestly stay we enjoyed it very much. We had our welcome drink & our cases were brought up to our rooms shortly after. We had requested a high floor with a sea view & got exactly that. The food was very good & we especially enjoyed the Asian Restaurant. The entertainment was fine & the entertainment folks worked extremely hard from early morning to late at night. Everywhere was spotless & the staff were polite & helpful. I would recommend this hotel to my friends & family expecially those...

Not what i expected
from Gillo
Having returned on the 19th, after months of checking the forum i have had time to reflect . The hotel is far to small for the amount of guests they cater for. The dining rooms does get busy only because the Spanish & Portuges like to eat later than us British. Evening meal opens at 19.00 closes at 22.30 if you go before 20.30 you get a table no problem any later than this it does get very hectic. Same for breakfast as long as you go early enough then no problem. Food very bland and repetative Beef Pork fish (do not...

Just returned from Riu Guarana, and it was brilliant! From the georgeous food, to the top notch cleanliness. All the staff bent over backwards to make the holiday superb. Having experinced RIU prior, I can honestly say that this hotel en masse is up there with the best!.... more
