My stay was marked by beautiful interiors and solid food offerings, particularly on Turkish night. However, I found the noise around the pool quite overwhelming, which made it tough to relax. The location felt a bit isolated with minimal nearby options. Overall, it didn't quite live up to a 5-star experience for me.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, thanks to its beautiful location and the private beach which was easily accessible by a fun buggy ride. The facilities were great, and the food selection was impressive, with options available around the clock. However, I did encounter some issues with the Wi-Fi and air conditioning, though they were addressed quickly.

I had a two-week stay at Riolavitas and I can say it was quite a mixed experience. The beach area was beautiful and the bar staff there were great. However, the overall service felt lacking, especially considering the food options and entertainment offered. Most facilities like the indoor pool were closed, and the cleanliness of certain areas left much to be desired.
