Hotel Riu Chiclana - All Inclusive

We stayed at this hotel on account of a wedding we were attending close by. It was just myself and my Husband and whilst the hotel is geared towards families, it was still a pleasant experience as a couple. We were there a week and from check in, reception staff were lovely. Once we had our room, we made full use of the all inclusive facilities and spent our time in the liquid pool bar which was especially lovely. As for restaurants, there are lots of options and whilst busy at times, I never felt like it was too busy. Everything was super tasty, so much choice and staff were always so lovely and helpful. The thing I find quite baffling from other people’s reviews (English people), is the mention of there primarily being Spanish holidaymakers as though that is a negative. YOU ARE IN SPAIN. I’m sorry but to mark a hotel down based on the people who go there, the same people who are actually from that country, is just plain ignorance. If you want a holiday in the sun, full of brits, go to Benidorm. All of the staff at the hotel spoke some English and were able to help but for me, it was welcomed as it meant I could practice my Spanish! Andalucía is a beautiful part of Spain and where this hotel is situated (Chiclana de la Frontera), you will not be disappointed once you see the gorgeous beach. We went into Jerez for the day and caught the bus outside the hotel, very cheap and easy. Definitely worth a visit as it’s a beautiful place. Equally if you just want to stay at the hotel the entire time, you can and you’ll have a very relaxing time. I’d definitely come back here. Thank you for a lovely week in the sunshine!
