Having been to GC many times before and been through the Riu Palace on our way to beach, we decided to fork out the extra and treat ourselves, but regretted it from the moment we arrived to begin our 2 week stay! I can summarise the hotel by saying that the public areas like lobby & pool area look nice... more

We have just returned from a 7 day holiday purchased through Thomson - and as per previous reviews on here, we can confirn that what you see on the Web or in the Brochure is exactly what you get. The Hotel is stunning, and from the moment you reach the Reception Desk you are looked after by people that really... more

We visited the Riu Palace 23 September based on reviews from Trip Advisor. Overall the hotel was wonderful and hard to fault. We were at the hotel and hour after landing, reception was classy and well appointed wit lots of staff to help with luggage and check in was quick and efficient. We were upgraded to a two bedroom groundfloor... more

We chose this hotel for our group of five, including three teenagers, having read trip advisor reviews, which were very accurate. This is a lovely 4 star hotel, impressive exterior and interior, spotlessly clean and great location for us. Although we did not bother to pay extra for sea views, we still had spectacular views to the sea and dunes.... more

Believe the good reviews. I booked this hotel based on the advice on Trip Advisor and had a great stay. The hotel is situated at the edge of the sand dunes which lead to the beach. It's hot on the sand so make sure you wear good shoes! We ended up staying around one of the two pools as it... more

What a fantastic hotel, beautiful clean rooms, superb food, the choice would satisfy all tastes and even the early 6pm sitting was fine and you never felt rushed. Evenwhen we arrived late, dinner was there for us which was great. The place was spotless and very few english guests, the pool area was beautiful with grat poolside service and a... more

Before we checked in here we spent four days at the Cordial Mogan Playa - tripadvisor's no.2 rated hotel in Gran Canaria. What a difference at the Riu. Cava upon reception, an upgraded hotel room overlooking the beach, complimentary bubbly and fruit in our room. At the 6PM dinner sitting we asked if we could dine later, and the management... more
