Hotel Riu Ferrara

An introduction to Hotel Riu Ferrara

Right on the promenade, the Riu Ferrara Hotel has picked a central spot in Torrox. Cafes, bars, and a large beach are all within a minute's walk, while plenty of restaurants are less than a five-minute walk away.

The hotel itself is a grand affair painted in sunshine yellow, sky blue and earthy terracotta. Set around a huge swimming pool with views across the Med, it's impressive from the outset.

And the standards are just as high inside. The reception is a classically styled space with checkerboard marble floors, big ceiling lanterns and huge parlour plants. Move into the bedrooms and you'll find similarly stylish spaces. Think pastel-washed walls, dark wood furniture and comfy low-backed armchairs. What's more, they're accessorised with extras like satellite TVs, piped music and minibars. Plus a private balcony comes as standard.

If you're in need of a bit more space, this place has studios and apartments complete with kitchenettes. Studios have twin beds, while apartments come with either one or two bedrooms, and they all come with the same list of extras as the standard bedrooms.

As for the food, this place is all about buffet-style meals. There's home-from-home favourites like cooked breakfasts, while evenings bring tasty international menus, weekly themed buffets and show cooking.

Lastly, if you're holidaying with little ones, they're well-looked after, too. With their own playground and a hotel-run kids' club for four to 12 year-olds, there's plenty to keep them smiling.
