Reviews
Rooms - Lovely modern rooms with separate shower room (walk in shower - both rainfall and standard shower heads). Twin sinks in shower room
Minibar fridge - restocked every 2 days with still and sparkling water in 2l bottles as well as 2 cans each of coca cola (full fat and zero), fanta orange and lemon and 2 beers.
Service - excellent from all staff in bars as well as restaurant - table service at all times
Food - high quality- always had choice of soups, fish (grilled hot as well as smoked salmon, mackerel etc) grilled and roast meats, salads, pizzas, pastas, rice dishes, high quality desserts for lunch and dinner. Breakfast had good selection of hot and cold including bacon, eggs (scrambled, fried (3 types - sunny side up, flipped and white only), beans, sausages, pancakes, french toast, churros, pastries, fruit, porridge, huge selection of freshly squuezed juices. Buffet from 11pm every night of burgers, hot dogs, fruit, sandwiches, cold meats and cheese
Al la carte (Krystal Restaurant) - one visit per stay, very novelle cuisine but fabulous)
Drinks - good selection of international brands of drinks on all inclusive as well as cocktails (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and soft drinks.
Hot drinks of coffees, teas etc
Housekeeping - rooms cleaned every day to high standard with towel and bedding change at request
Pools - 2 pools - larger pool allows inflatables, balls etc but smaller quiet pool does not.
Pool towels supplied and no need to bring your own - open to change for fresh towels every day between 9-3pm
Very quiet round both pools with no activities/music and I felt it had very little atmosphere
Service is available 24/7 for drinks as well as food (listed above)
Entertainment- adequate- mood music from 6.30-8pm then with either group or tribute until 11pm in salon bar at bottom end of the hotel
Toilets - in reception and for pool/salon bar - spotless at all times
WiFi- free in all areas of the hotel during your stay
Safe - free to use during your stay
Upper floors - fabulous views of the hotel, surrounding area as well as sea and sand dunes (we were 6th floor)
The hotel is spotless, every staff member greets you hello and on the whole they are friendly and welcoming
There are two pools, not very big, and a very small kids pool. There is a pool bar and snacks bar near the pool and the the restaurant is not far. There is a more formal lounge which is open 24 hours and is run with topmost efficiently so you are rarely waiting too long for a drink.
The rooms are quite small with an unproportionatly large sized shower room. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely bathroom, two sinks, hairdryer and hand wash, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and the shower is powerful and can be scalding hot.
There are 4 drawers and a wardrobe, that's it. Good luck trying to fit 2 weeks worth of clothes in them. The safe is free and the mini bar is stocked with soft drinks and Amstel beer. No here's where the bedroom starts to go wrong. There is an opaque glass screen between the bedroom and bathroom which lights up the bedroom if you turn the light on. If your bedroom is pitch dark and someone turns on the bathroom light, it will light up the bedroom brighter than Wembley stadium. Whoever thought this was a good idea needs a shake.
Another negative is the food. We have stayed at both Riu Palace and Riu hotel and the food is not up to Palace standards. Now it is edible and there is mostly something you 'could' eat but if you have any dietary needs beware. They have lactose free milk in the morning but no gluten free bread on view. I did ask the waiter and they did get it for me and asked every morning if I wanted toast or bread but all Riu hotels I have stayed in previously had this in show with it's own toaster. The food was basic and it felt like a cafeteria rather than a fine dining restaurant. There is a 'al a carte' but the menu looked very niche and was half full most of the time. It just didn't live up to Palace standards
The hotel was mostly Germans and french and some were definitely not friendly when they found out we were British!
It's an ok hotel, spotlessly clean, great staff but not the best Riu we have stayed in or the best hotel in Gran Canaria
We notice that the bar personal and waiters are stressed.. not the same and friendly service as last year..
Maybe New management?
The location is pretty good. 5 minute walk to the beach and shops and supermarket also within walking distance.
If you fancy a break from hotel food there are several restaurants along the beach strip.
Cleanliness is second to none at this hotel, and it can't be faulted. Our overall all inclusive food experience was brilliant, there is more than enough variety, meat and vegetarian options. Other than no mushrooms for breakfast haha.
The pools were lovely and heated which was a bonus. Drinks were branded and although not a massive selection still more than enough.
My one big annoyance with this hotel and I feel it is something management should address is sunbeds. Now I know folk like to get their preferred spot, but towels were on beds from the night before. Placed on loungers for hours on end during the day with no-one on them. Also people putting towels on some and sitting on another whilst the sun was in a different spot.
The hotel has lots of palmtrees and shaded areas which make for the perfect sunbeds to be taken very quickly. And when folk aren't on them that makes me angry.
Hotel policy is to not reserve beds. And I know this is the case across the world and widely ignored. But I have never come across it so bad than at this hotel. Especially without people actually using them.
We've visted during winter season but I wouldn't like to experience the hotel during summer season. Don't feel it would have enough space.
I would recommend the hotel if you are looking for clea, quiet and friendly atmosphere.
Service is good too.
The entire hotel area is calm and quiet.
Maybe not much to do for kids, in that case choose another hotel.
Not much at all to complain about, quite happy with our stay.
The buffet was very good, the best buffet we have had in an all inclusive Hotel. The restaurant Krystal was another story, the food was a big disappointment for us.(but the service at Krystal was also really good)
