Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas

We stayed in a garden room, which didn’t have much of a view, but was very clean and extremely comfortable. The minibar was fully stocked and we had a complimentary bottle of fino Sherry, which was a nice touch. We celebrated our wedding anniversary while we were there and the hotel team made it really special for us. The food in the hotel is fantastic, with a good choice all beautifully presented. The swimming pools are great, there are 5, so always plenty of space for an athletic swim, or just to hang around and enjoy being in the water. The hotel entertainment was really good, with special mention to The Duke Band on Wednesday night who were superb musicians. A friend recommended this hotel to us and I will have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

Good food, service, and a room upgrade. Location was right next to the beach. What more could you want for a relaxing holiday away from it all. Highlight was eating in the Kristal Restaurant with waiter service.

Just two days remaining of our 10 day break we have traveled extensively and always try where possible to stay at a Riu Hotel trusting in the brand and are Riu Diamond card holders so we have a decent idea when comparing hotels. The Riu Palace in Maspalomas is a very good 4star + hotel and before traveling we had read previous posts about the hotel is due for refurbishment but I would not like to say where they could begin !! The rooms are elegant in a typical Spanish way great air conditioning carpets on floors ( less noise from room above ) and cleaned to within an inch of its live every day by the dedicated cleaning staff . FOOD The dining room is very elegant and food is varied and plentiful something to everyone's taste and allergies are catered for you will not be Disapointed by food selection , quality or presentation. POOL,s Pools are well maintained and clean with more than enough sunbed,s and umberela,s to go around no matter what time you decide to go down however some keen sun worshippers were up before dawn reserving their chosen beds very strange . The pools are good if your disabled ( as is the hotel) with full ramp access . STAFF Where do I start ? All staff went out of their way to provide a service with a smile many thanks to ALL for providing such great service. HOTEL If you a party all go type of person the hotel may not be for you as there is no pool games or loud music so maybe you would be better looking else where . But if your looking for great service, relaxing atmospher, good food, nice room , and peaceful location at competitive price then this hotel will meet your expectations !!! CONCLUSION Great hotel exceptionally clean good food and relaxing atmosphere highly recommended enjoy !! Thank you to ALL the staff at the hotel for exceeding expectations .
