The hotel is adults-only, and the all-inclusive service runs 24 hours. Rooms are 30 square metres for the Double Standard and the Double with sea view, with a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a minibar and an in-room safe. Above them are the Junior Suite with sea view at 44 square metres and the Suite with sea view at 50, which adds a hydromassage bathtub. Connecting sea-view doubles are available for friends or family sharing.

Six restaurants split the evening. Miramar is the main buffet, with live cooking stations and themed nights three times a week. Kullinarium is the gourmet room, a fusion menu served a la carte at dinner. Kawachi does Asian dishes, La Toscana is Italian and Turquesa is the steakhouse, with a terrace. Pepe's Food is the daytime grill and snack counter, with a taco area. Five bars cover the cocktails.

RIU Fit sessions and beach sports keep the days active, the Renova Spa offers personalised treatments, and the hotel has a gym. The RIU Party program, daytime entertainment and nightly shows with live music fill the rest. The hotel also hosts weddings on the waterfront.
It suits couples and groups of friends who want the hotel zone, a busy social calendar and a plan that never closes. Check-in is at 3 PM and check-out at noon.
