Hotel Riu Papayas - All Inclusive

Excellent attitude towards the staff in all its branches. Good cleaning. All inclusive food is very good. The negative point would be the size of the pool for the number of clients it has. More happiness than misery! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Fantastic hotel, very friendly and helpful staff who are always happy to help. The food in the restaurant was great, cooked in front of you, great choice and the desserts were delicious. Must try the other two whilst there. The drinks selection at the bar was really good, the bar staff have to be the fastest I have ever seen, never kept you waiting more than 2 minutes in line. The cocktails are strong but fantastic. The entertainment staff there are the best and are so friendly. Don't be shy and get up to try anything, I had a great time and laughed as I learnt to dance. Hopefully one of the entertainment reps was fantastic and a credit to the hotel. Overall a 10/10 holiday, all in all to the hotel. We will definitely be back soon.

I had such a wonderful time at this hotel during our 12 days stay. The staff is kind and helpful when needed. The room is cleaned every day, and the cleaning ladies are so friendly and happy.
On the evenings we’ve been enjoying some good entertainment, and nice drinks 🍸
If you need anything, just ask some one from the staff and they help you, or guide you to some one els who can help :)
I loved the food in the Asian restaurant, but the food in the main restaurant I think need a little bit more spice. Otherwise the food is good.

This is a hotel I like coming back to!

Staff can't do enough for you, really friendly food not brilliant in my opinion, no sausages at breakfast and scrambled egg like liquid, bacon either hardly cooked or too hard to chew , snack bar, lunch and evening meal average also.
Rooms are great with a free safe, free pool towels , free large bottles of normal and sparkling water.
Our room only has one electric socket and one in bathroom which is not ideal ! My wife has to unplug the fridge in a cupboard to dry her hair, Good to have areas for none smokers, drinks are good including Beefeater Gin, not sure about other spirits. Only our 3rd day so will update later

We recently stayed here for 14 nights. The hotel is smaller than other Riu hotels we have visited.
The rooms are smaller than we are used to, and could do with more drawer space. The whole of the hotel is spotlessly clean.
It is a U-shaped building with a pleasant grassed area right in the middle. All the amenities are in the centre, with the entertainment stage and 24 hour bar are at one end of the pool. At the other end is the main restaurant and next is the Spanish restaurant, followed by another bar and walking on is the Asian restaurant, gym and toilets, before you come back to the reception area.
The food in the main restaurant is good, always find something to my taste, however not the huge choice we have experienced at other Riu hotels. The Asian and Spanish restaurants are well worth a visit and are included in the all inclusive package.
There are lots of loungers in the pool area, there was never a problem finding somewhere to sit.
The only downside is the location, there is a free shuttle bus to the beach which seems to run frequently. The area around the hotel was very rundown and scruffy, no decent restaurants or bars close by, but it’s All inclusive in the hotel so no real need to go outside.

Stayed here in early September with my 15 month old and her dad. Can not fault anything.
The staff were incredible and so brilliant with our daughter, it was really sweet to see.
Great variety of food, impressive changing salad bar, amazing desserts.
Hotel it’s self is very clean as is the pool
I think the only downside for me was the gym is very basic and no free weights but that is my only quibble.
Beach only a 10/15 minute walk
You can hire prams and car seats from the hotel which was very handy
A great first family holiday

Really clean hotel, inclusive buffet food nice and fresh, friendly staff, mix of nationalities staying , I would say more for the older clientele even though we have 2 children . Alcohol is ok, coffees and softs available all day

Had a fantastic time here at the end of August. Although the Hotel is not on the beach front, there is a free shuttle bus to the beach. We walked there as it only took us 15 minutes. The hotel staff are polite and friendly. There is plenty of choice of food which I must say was very nice. There was also a free Friday party at Riu's sister hotel the Gran Canaria, free transport included. My only complaint was the week went too fast.

Absolutely excellent service and clean hotel, been many times, twice this year.
Gaby absolutely a star offering excellent customer service and sorted our rooms for next January and may visits today.
Lovely location and excellent service from the team, thank you very much, julian and Martin 411.
