Hotel RIU Garoé

We stayed for 17 days (1st time) and loved everything about the Riu Garoe. The staff are very welcoming especially in the restaurant, they work hard and ensure everything is perfect. The housekeeping is excellent and standards for cleanliness is very high, not only in rooms but all around the hotel. The rooms are spacious and decor is lovely. There is plenty of wardrobe/drawer space. Mini fridge. The bathroom is beautiful with double wash basins and large shower with a door. Towels and bath robes were pure white ( for me this is a must). The pool is very well kept and a good system for allocating towels and sunbeds. The food is exceptional, so much choice. Very good breakfast with fruits, eggs cooked to order, rolls, croissants etc. Dinner also has great choices, beautiful salads, soups, cheeses, meats. Steak and fish cooked to order. Beautiful desserts. The pool bar/snack bar and main bar are really comfortable and great variety of cocktails. Evening entertainment. We always stay in the La Paz area and its a quiet, beautiful area. We didnt use the courtesy bus as we had a car. No problems parking on the street or on grounds adjacent to the hotel. We would definitely return to this hotel. Stayed in many hotels and apartments in Puerto for 40+ years and this is our favourite.

This is minor but we do like a coffee first thing in the morning. A Nespresso machine would be great but equally a kettle would be appreciated.

Nice reception staff, great food, very clean rooms

I would prefer one queen/king site bed over two separate beds.

Immaculately kept rooms and facilities. Presented beautifully. Great choice of food for breakfast and dinner. Spa is lovely.

Nothing

Great location in a quiet area away from the noisy city center. Clean facilities. Nice pool. Good dining area. Friendly staff. The spa is small but alright for one visit.

The tennis rackets are old. They need new strings and grips. The staff doesn’t seem to know well what a good tennis racket should be like. The rooms don’t have tea kettles but one can ask for it. It came after a couple of reminders.
