Just spent a week in the hotel in June. Lovely hotel in prime location, attentive multi-linugual staff and lovely food with lots of selection. Hotel is only only let down by lack of Free Wi-Fi, which is probably good news for the local bars and restaurants which offer this service. Overall though, hotel offers excellent value for money.

I'll get the downside out o the way first...they were very hard. we did get toppers which eased a little bit but its such a shame a high class hotel cannot provide comfy beds! Rest of review is positive. Everywhere spotless. Rooms (93 ground floor) large... More

Just got back from a fantastic week at the Riu Palace. The location of the hotel is quiet, with excellent views of the sea if you venture up to outer fence or are lucky enough to get a room with a sea view. Down the road is a small strip of pubs and restaurants that cater for a typical British... More

We have trusted this brand of hotel for the last 9 years and never been let down. The Riu Palace Algarve is a perfect example of the usual quality you come to expect from this chain. The food is exemplary, it cannot be faulted. The rooms are well serviced and adequate. The staff are attentive and polite. A good holiday... More
