    All good - nothing bad
    18 Oct , 2018 Ken W, 191254
    My wife and I have just returned from an eleven night stay at this hotel. This was our second visit to this Riu hotel and it wasn't a disappointment. Since our last visit a new pool has been added at the side of the hotel between the Riu Palace hotel. On our last visit we overlooked the side garden where this pool is now located, this time we paid a premium for a room overlooking the central garden and pools. Due to the trees we couldn't see the pools and on reflection I preferred the previous room. The previous room overlooked the Princess hotel and the lighthouse was visible, very spectacular at night with all the lights. The food is good and reaches the standard one would expect from a four star hotel. A reasonable selection and above all hot, well prepared and cooked. If you like Chinese food the Kaori restaurant is a must, an immaculate restaurant with fabulous food. The Atlantico restaurant overlooking the sea is a good choice for breakfast and lunch. I must say the staff in all restaurants are pleasant, efficient and in one or two cases hilarious. The rooms are much the same as our last visit, bright, airy, modern and spotless. The fridge in the room is stocked with soft drinks, beer and water but no spirits every other day. Kettle, cups, tea and coffee are also provided. Sunbeds, as usual are claimed each morning but worry not, you will get a sunbed at any time of the day and they are all in pristine condition. Umbrellas are in abundance and there are huge structures with a material over them allowing the sun to pass through but without the glare. The pools are of a reasonable size but can get quite busy, the kids pool is brilliant and younger children will love it. In summation I would describe this hotel as 'very good' all round, no shocks, nothing bad and the location is ideal for a stroll along the sea front to shops and restaurants, just a ten minute stroll. My wife and I always stay in 4/5 star hotels and overall this hotel ranks highly. Finally the weather was very hot with occasional cloud and occasional breeze, although there was a shower whilst travelling to the airport.
    A perfect holiday

    We have visited this hotel in the past, but not since the refurbishment. The place had started to get a bit 'tired' but is now fantastic. The pool areas and entertainment area outside are wonderful. We had 2 weeks of relaxation with perfect weather, food and drink. We would definitely recommend it.
    winter break
    16 Oct , 2018 ateamcaptain, 190728
    allways take fleece our thick sweaters, it gets cold on evening, the reception in hotel ,with sliding doors makes reception into a wind tunnel, But this is nothing to do with the hotel, the hotel itself is spotless, and comfortable, the entertainment team work tirelessiy in the day time, allways getting people to join in , can,not comment on evenings entertainment as melonaras is a people watchers paradise, all in all a great holiday , but please remember we went in febuary and i have just got round to writing this, after looking for 2019 winter break.
    A Lovely Weeks Break
    17 Oct , 2018 Ian M, 186364
    We have stayed in may Riu hotels throughout the world, even Gran Canaria and so I will be truthful here and say, it was okay. Check in good, very helpful and informative. The room on 5th floor was lovely, very clean and spacious. Now we come to other areas and starts to drop a bit. Food was, in my eyes, okay only, not as you would expect from Riu. For example no food themed nights or chances for chefs to show their quality with show dishes. True, nearly everyone will eat a burger or piece of chicken and some fries but somehow it just needed more in my eyes. Drinks are very good, named brands although I wish they would not have just one beer, Amstel, add another even if it is local Tropical or even chuck an Estrella in for good measure. And the white and red wine is on tap so I will say no more, we had one glass and binned it and bought some bottles from supermarket for fridge in room. Outside areas very nice but round pools do need a tidy up and I know that is down to the public picking their own mess up but did notice litter from previous day still there the next day, minor but just a point. As i said previous, we have stayed in a few Riu's but I have to say that if the staff, that are very good by the way and work hard, took their badges off, then it would be just a normal 3-4 star hotel not the Riu standard. Seems a bit scathing I know, but these are not a cheap holiday and even though it was an enjoyable week, it is not one we would jump at to return to.
    Disappointed this visit
    16 Oct , 2018 Greatglenwalker, 186534
    We have visited this hotel 6 times and have always raved about it. Unfortunately this visit was a bit disappointing. As usual reception staff were great, as were the bar staff and room staff. Unfortunately the waiting staff let the hotel down. It looked as if the number of waiting staff had been reduced and meant service in the dining areas was sporadic to say the least. The entertainment was good and the animation team excel themselves with entertaining the guests although Eduardo who is in charge of the team could take a leaf out of their book and interact with the guests instead of walking around without acknowledging anyone. It is a lovely hotel with lots of positives but we were disappointed this time.
