Had an enjoyable week in The Riu Waikiki. Good food, decent drinks, handy location and, above all, great staff. Even the Germans we met were nice. As others have mentioned, the rooms could do with a bit of updating but this is really only required in the bathroom. The bath & shower fixtures and fittings have seen better days. Also,... More

Lost £150 booking with Thomas Cook Travel Agents instead of First Choice online for the same holiday. This Hotel mainly caters for our German friends of which their were many and the staff always cater for their needs first, especially at the pool bar. The food was very good but caters for German tastes, Salad, Veal, Pork and Fish which... More

Eating The food is very good with a varied selection of freshly cooked meet and veg, but getting food to the table can be a bit of a push and shove. Do not get there at opening times for breakfast or lunch as some guests treat it as the January sales and have to get “their table” and act as... More

My wife and I have just returned from staying at the Riu Waikiki in Gran Canaria. (21st- 28th Feb) Having stayed at various Riu's, we were slightly disappointed. The staff it must be said were utterly brilliant and the service, could not be faulted, but the hotel, looks sad, and in desperate need of a refurbishment. Having read various mixed... More

my husband and I have just returned from a weeks holiday in the Waikiki. We travelled with two friends and we all found what a fantastic improvement from our last stay two years ago. The food was fantastic - we are all used to eating out and in fact my husband is a chef and he agreed the food was... More

Firstly, I must say that the staff at this hotel were FIRST CLASS! if you have children that like entertaining - this is the place to go. Unfortunately, unless you stay in peak season, you will experience a lot of shade and chilly wind around the pool. The 5 round towers of rooms cause 'wind tunnels' which means in the... More
