We had a memorable visit 3 or more years ago and this was the reason we revisited La Paraiso Hotel. Tui from Bournemouth was dead on time and early on arrival - well done Tui. A quick transfer, and, as we had checked in on line, a smooth and very friendly registration. Previously we had requested a room near the facilities and on the first floor, {mobility issue} and we were very pleased with the room. The room was very clean and had new decor. Water is in the fridge on arrival but has to be obtained from the bar from then on. The bed is very comfortable and the TV huge. Dining is on the ground floor and is spread over a large area. Drinks are self service as is the main buffet . Food is good and should have something for everybody. The staff in this area are spot on - attentive, friendly and always smiling. Our compliments to the unsung heroes, - the chefs and kitchen staff who are not normally considered. During the day you can enjoy a variety of sports and games around the pool. These activities are run by the animators who go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay. The shows that are put on by the animators are some of the best we have experienced. The bar staff at the Riu are extremly good they have worked out a system that stops the mass bar crush and it works a treat. They are all very happy and enthusiastic - great. Thank you all in reception for the help you gave us with our need for tech know-how and other enquiries. All the staff at this Hotel give excellent service - thank you. We would recommend Riu La Paraiso to anyone who appreciates good service and facilities. Muchas gracias, Chris and Jenny Whiting.
