Spent the last week of October at the Riu Palace Algarve. It was our second visit to this lovely hotel. The staff were very welcoming throughout our entire stay. We'd booked a sea view room and it was great to relax on the balcony in the sunshine. The weather throughout our stay was hot and sunny - perfect for walking... more

If you are looking for a chill out break in a beautiful hotel with excellent staff, food, pool and cleanliness, then look no further than the Riu Palace Algarve. Hotel management obviously know what they are doing and it shows. Nothing too much trouble for the staff- always smiling and friendly. Gold stars must go to the maids who work... more

What can I say that others already have said. We have had a wonderful holiday at this great hotel, starting from the moment we arrived to the time we left. The food and choice were superb and enjoyed every meal. We also have stayed at many 5 star hotels over the world and I feel this one beats them all.... more

All the positive reviews are correct. We stayed here for a week from 8th October and wished we had booked for two. The hotel staff are great, so friendly and service orientated and make everyone welcome from the glass of welcoming champagne to answering any query and responding to any requests. Yes, the beds are hard and we requested toppers... more

Just returned from a week at the Riu Palace Algarve, booked this hotel on recommendation from other trip advisor reviewers. Booked holiday directly ie hotel, flight, car hire etc and did have difficulty getting to the actual front door! as signs from road not great. First impressions, reception staff were very welcoming and luggage taken to our rooms promptly. The... more

Having for the past 5 years, only stayed in 5 star hotels, we were apprehensive about our stay in a 4 star. The hotel, as previously quoted, was spotless. Food, although not gourmet, was very good. The staff were excellent. We did not miss the 5 star turn down service nor the room service. Very rarely used it when staying... more

We have just returned from a holiday at the Palace and had a wonderful time and could not speak too highly of the hotel. The hotels amenities are excellent, the staff attentive and helpful and the food is outstanding in variety, quality and presentation. The bedrooms are large with an 8ft wide bed and a bathroom that’s fully equipped and... more

I've read many reviews about this hotel and it gives a good insight into the character of the guests as to the style and comments they make. The ones that manage to find something to grumble about, usually find something quite insignificant. We've stayed in many hotels and NONE of them leave free water each day. This includes other Riu... more

Just returned from a one week stay and after visits to most of the other Riu Palaces must admit to disappointments at this venue. I have never ever visited a Palace where no drinking water was provided daily in your room, where room safes were charged for and where restaurants at mealtimes were overcrowded and poorly serviced we spent up... more

We spent a week half board at the Palace in early September, I travelled with my husband and my 20 month old son. Was a bit apprehensive after reading some reviews but we had a fabulous time. Our room was large and well maintained, partial sea view and quiet as requested. A travel cot was provided which would have been... more
