Rio Verde and Coral Beach is a hidden gem just a short walk from Puerto Banus. When exiting the hotel's doors closest to the beach you are within 1 minute standing on the original Golden Mile. I had a room on the east side of the property with a balcony and in the month of October I only got maybe 1 hour of sun on it before noon, then you have to move to the general pool area or choose one of the more expensive units/rooms on the roof. Breakfast was truly superb and offered everything you could dream of. Only downside is that this hotel was by far the most expensive stay on my journey. In the month of October and off-season you would think the rates very lower given how empty the hotel was, but at the same time it was so great to get the hotel almost for yourself.

Love this hotel, great breakfast

overall, it was a nice experience. One of the highlights of our stay was the rooms, which had access to a shared pool. This pool was a fantastic feature—private, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing away from the crowds. However, there were a couple of aspects that could be improved. The breakfast experience, for example, didn’t quite meet our expectations. While the food quality was decent, the restaurant was huge and quite chaotic. With many families and lots of people, it was a bit overwhelming and didn’t offer the relaxing start to the day we had hoped for. Additionally, while the hotel has a large pool, we felt it could be better maintained or designed to enhance the overall experience. Despite these minor drawbacks, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the convenience and comfort of the location.

Our experience with the pool guard was horrible he wouldn't allow us to have drinks pool side or kids to play in the pool. We paid lots of money to be there but was over the top.

This property should be a two start property. It’s outdated, out of staff, uncomfortable and dirty. The beds are so old and uncomfortable that I deleveloped a sever back pain and neck issues. When you talk to the management they acknowledge all the issues yet they have the audacity to ask for good reviews. Of course whom I thought was the management team wasn’t even the property manager. Not only I won’t stay there I would not recommend anyone staying there. We got half board breakfast and lunch and they charged even for a glass of water and all the drinks and deserts .?only the main meal was included. Really a funny situation yet very sad and uncomfortable.

Great service

there were ants in the room, staff acted as if it is normal. cleaning stole stuff from my room.

Such a lovely hotel, clean, friendly service, stylish design. Bathroom had no privacy, so you get to know more about your travel companion than needed 😁 Very close to the beach. Awesome breakfast. Highly recommended.
