Hotel Riu Palace la Mola

A fabulous one week stay. We could not fault anything ! The food was superb, the staff were so friendly, rooms spotlessly clean and comfortable. Thank you Riu Palace La Mola for a wonderful stay.

We have had the best time . The hotel is beautiful , very clean and new and they’ve done a great job with the refurbishment . We chose a bungalow which was lovely , unique and quiet . The reception staff were excellent and the app worked great booking the restaurants which were great for a different variety and view . Felt very rested .

From check in all good .room wow. Best of everything, A/C working, also ceiling fan [perfect] bathroom with walk in shower ,flat screen tv set in wall. Bed hugh and comfy plus lots of pillows. Location on beach,but also 4 pools and lots of beds at pools and bali beds. Buffet breakfast and dinner great selection, u won't go hungry. Look after yourself for lunch. Only obersavation lots of stairs internally between buildings as its at different levels so if u can't handle stairs u got a problem.but there are lifts in all buildings ,but we used the road at side of hotel ,it's easier than stairs.

We absoulutely loved our stay at RIU La Mola. They had great entertainment for kids and food was amazing, we were spoiled for choice. The swimming pool and other facilities were really good too, and very handy to have the hotel at the beach front. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Wish it was a longer trip.

We booked the hotel Riu la Mola as a package with Tui Uk,which included flights, hotel and all transfers from Ibiza to Formentera. Getting there.....We flew from Manchester on the 4th of May. After collecting our luggage at Ibiza airport, we went to the Tui desk in the arrival hall. Here we were given our ferry tickets for the trasmapi fast ferries. Also a map of the ferry terminals at Ibiza town and La Savina, Formentera. This included our (mini) bus numbers. at both locations. We were then driven to Ibiza port, where we were met by a member of the trasmapi team, who directed us to our ferry. 40 minutes later we arrived on Formentera, and found our (mini) bus at the port bus station, who conveyed us to the Hotel Riu La Mola. We were the only people travelling to Formentera, on both journeys. So well organised by Tui/trasmapi. Hotel La Mola.....The hotel is built into a hillside and on different levels, which means lots of steps from the top down to the beach. Our room was on the upper block with a great view. It is not a large room, but has a comfy double bed (sheets changed on request) and plenty of storage space, with a free safe. However no usb charging points,and only one power point. No ceiling fan, no tea/coffee facilities (as in other Riu hotels) A fully stocked minibar, with water soft drinks and beers. The air conditioning worked well. The bathroom had a walk in shower, with a rain shower attachment, one power point and towels changed every day. Also shower gel and hand soap provided. The restaurant is a good size with inside and outside seating. Breakfast is limited, with a small selection of cereals, no omelette station (As in other Riu hotels). But we always found something to eat. Dinner always had a good selection of hot food, but the salad cold dishes and deserts were repetitive. Pool(s) and snack bar. The main pool and snack bar is situated down by the beach, and while there we were always able to get a sun lounger, no matter what time of day. The snack bar served excellent lunches, which are reasonably priced, as are the drinks, and enjoyed sitting there overlooking the beach.There is also waiter service to your lounger. There is also a quiet pool between the two main buildings, but no bar is available there. The Beach.... There are sun loungers and brollies on the beach, which is managed by the hotel, but as the beach is a public space, you have to pay to use these loungers. This was 18 euros per day for two loungers and a brolly. We enjoyed this option, as there was always a cooling breeze and quiet away from the pool scene. Lounge bar. This is open in the evenings and while the entertainment was low key (which suited us) also a large outside area, to watch the sunset, prior to having dinner. Again a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. (If you download the Riu app, you can check out the price of drinks at this hotel). However what made our holiday enjoyable is the wonderful friendly staff across all departments.

Hotel Riu La Mola Date of Stay: August 2024 Travelers: Myself, wife, and 4-year-old daughter Hotel Riu La Mola is a very good hotel overall, situated in a quiet area of Formentera. It’s about a 15-20 minute drive to Es Pujols and San Francesc, which is a smooth and lovely ride. Conveniently, you can rent a car or motorbike directly at the reception. Strongest Points: - Exceptional Staff: The first thing that stands out is the staff. They are incredibly professional and always have a smile on their faces! They were eager to help and assist, consistently in a good mood. - Cleanliness: The entire hotel is impeccably clean, including the rooms, which were spotless throughout our stay. - Kids Club & Entertainment: The kids club and entertainment team are fantastic, keeping our daughter engaged and happy. - Evening Buffet: The buffet at night is very complete—we dined there every evening and were always satisfied. - Room Comfort: The room temperature and AC were perfect, ensuring a comfortable stay. - No Mosquitoes: Despite the abundance of flowers and lovely nature around the hotel, we didn’t encounter a single mosquito. - Beach/Pool Bar: The food at the beach/pool bar is excellent for lunch. The quality is very good, and service is so quick, which is great. Areas for Improvement: - Gym Facilities: The early-opening gym (7 am) needs improvement, particularly as more guests are looking to stay active during holidays. While there is a more decent gym, it doesn’t open until 9 am, which is less convenient at least for a person like me who likes to workout first thing. - Beach Access: The beach part was a bit disappointing because you couldn’t get into the water directly. There is little sand, and a lot of rocks. You have to walk a bit further to your left or right to reach a beach where you can actually spend the day, or take the car a try other beaches from the Island, which i actually recommend. Conclusion: Overall, Hotel Riu La Mola offers good value for money. While there may be other top-notch hotels in Formentera, you’ll likely pay twice as much or more. This hotel does the job very well, especially if you’re traveling with kids. I can definitely recommend it.
