Hotel Riu Touareg - All Inclusive

Grande resort in posizione isolata ( a 35 km dal paese Sal Rei ) ma su una spiaggia lunga e bianca .Tre piscine e lettini gratuiti ache in spiaggia con ombra di palme. Molta gente ma basta cercare di evitare gli orari più affollati per pranzo e cena ( il cibo è di media qualità adatto soprattutto a clientela nordica ). Ottima pulizia e cordialità del personale.

Our fourth visit to this hotel and it did not disappoint yet again. We stayed in adults only as previous years. Do not take any notice of poor reviews, the hotel is spotlessly clean the staff cannot do enough for you, a special mention to Ummumane the pool guy, he's always smiling and always ready with a hello. The food, if you can't find something to eat here then you must be incredibly picky, the food is always fresh, hot and so much of it, the staff honestly work endlessly to make sure everyone enjoys their holiday. We had just one quibble with the optics not being replaced but it certainly didn't spoil our stay....10 days of shear bliss not to mention 32 degrees see you November 2025

We went on holiday to RIU Touareg in August 2024. Despite being an apparent 5 star resort the rooms are tiny and open plan, giving no privacy to the shower or toilet. Every time the toilet is flushed it fills the whole room with the stench if fermented sewage. Cockroaches were everywhere including around the food areas and in our rooms, see the attached picture. And finally the food itself was poor, the quality of which is probably worse than a throw in the oven type of pizza etc. Every restaurant is a buffet and there was no point in booking one of the specialty restaurants as everything they serve is in the main restaurant, they merely have a smaller selection of choices. Don't bother. It may say 5 stars and you may think you are getting a good deal as it is "all inclusive" but this hotel is quite literally cheap!

Recently got back from a stay here and have left feeling relaxed and rested as needed! When reading a lot of reviews a lot of people appear to forget they’ve booked to stay on a small island off the coast of Africa and still expect the same as a busy European tourist hot spot… the rooms are more authentic than ‘run down’, the air con works great in the room with additional ceiling fan to help cool down after a hot day… yes it would be great if everywhere was air con but also you’ve paid to go away to a hot holiday destination, enjoy it!! I would recommend a taxi from the airport to avoid delays waiting for TUI coaches etc… costs about €30… and quickens check in at hotel! Showers are hot, toilet works well, rooms are cleaned daily and water topped up… any requests made through the app were seen to that day. The pools could do with some more attention purely for a lot of issues with broken tiles, drain covers etc. that caused cuts to feet etc… saying this, the staff every morning were around the pool making repairs and cleaning constantly. Food is standard all inclusive buffet style food, for fussier eaters…. Chips, toasties, pizzas etc… and for the not so, variety of meat and non meat options, vegetables, sauces, cheese selections, fresh fruit and salads etc… there are restaurants that can be booked through the app but do this ASAP when arriving and check daily as new times come up randomly and gets booked quick, the Italian was perfect and would recommend to mix things up a little. Drinks are also standard, the beer is easily drank through day and frozen daiquiris are a delight! Can’t mention spirits as not drank whilst there… online mentions the amount of bars but fails to mention 4 are all within the same ‘main square’ which does leave you feeling a little restricted on where to spend your evening as it gets very busy and a little overwhelming some nights with lack of seating to suit the size of hotel… another bar elsewhere would have been nice. Also no single use straws so bring a reusable one or a cup with built in if needed. Adults only section was never clearly explained this is an additional item you have to upgrade to and not allowed to go into if standard wristband.. however we did see the pool and bar area here and looked busy for the size of. Beach is wonderful and clean, lots of beds, small local seller huts selling all you would expect for souvenirs… including cups with straws which are recommended for getting larger drinks from the bars and self service throughout the day. Shops are available for bits you may need, snacks, toiletries, clothing, souvenirs, however very expensive! Complex is huge… never stayed in a hotel like this before and did seem a little sparse in areas with most point of interest being centrally located with lots of rooms far from any of this… gets the steps in I guess!! Pro: - Air con in room - Clean rooms - Water provided in rooms - Balcony large and good view - Beer and daquris goo

This hotel was great value for a last minute bonus week. We booked a superior room which was not given to us upon arrival. After a couple of calls to Reception and quite a long wait for our luggage, it was sorted. The rooms are very dated with only one plug socket. I had read this on Tripadvisor and packed a 4 way extension lead. The food was good and plenty of it. Drinks were readily available and of a good standard. Evening entertainment was so so, but the team did put a lot of effort into it. Please bear in mind there is absolutely nothing outside of this hotel. It was great for a weeks relaxing holiday, don’t think I could have stayed any longer for this reason. The staff were very friendly and helpful, considering they work long hours they all had smiles on their faces and seemed happy to help. Had no problems finding a sun bed, as we don’t like sitting in the same place for the whole holiday. The daytime activities crew were very entertains. The gardens were beautifully kept. Overall we had a good time.

We had two rooms in the adults area of the complex (a double and a suite) both were clean and spacious. Was difficult to find sunbeds together by the pool but plenty on the beach. Staff from checking in, room cleaning, restaurants and bars were all really pleasant and helpful. The adults pool and bar area were great but general areas could are starting to look a little tired eg the main pool, jacuzzi and swim up bar had some tiles missing. We would recommend this hotel but can only comment on the rooms in the adult area not the family or standard rooms Also would recommend downloading the RIU app and booking into the restaurants in advance
