First time visit to Gran Canaria and a Riu Hotel. Doesn't look that great but the hotel ticks all the boxes if you want a relaxing holiday in a situation near to a great beach with acres of well tended gardens to chill out in. Played tennis on good courts and meals were very good. Night time entertainment was a... more

Having read some of the poor reviews here, we were wondering what sort of weeks vacation we we in for. We were looking for a one week dash to the sun in January 2008 before I started my new job. We have stayed in Riu hotels before and have always been impressed with the level of service and quality of... more

This was our second visit to the Hotel Riu Grand Palace Maspalomas Oasis (what a mouthful!). Our last was two years ago. We were pleased to see that everything in the hotel has been kept in good condition since the refurbishment - Nothing yet looking tatty like some Riu Palace's we have stayed at have sadly been allowed to do... more

The reviews on this hotel seem to be either rants or raves. I can't honestly understand where most of the criticism is coming from. I spent a lovely, relaxing week at the Riu Maspalomas Oasis. The hotel: The hotel is fairly old and it's not the most attractive building in the resort. However it is set in the most beautiful... more

Stayed in this Hotel for one week until 4 June 2007. Hotel staff very good, rooms clean, food fantastic. Not over keen on location as another Hotel had been built directly on beach front in front of this Hotel. Also lots of food outlets boarder the gardens making it a bit smelly and noisy at times. The beach was great... more

We have just come back from a 5 day break. Having read some of the other comments, we were a little anxious. However, we had a great stay. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The hotel is in prime location with direct access to the sea. Overall a nice place to stay. more

We used to stay at the Riu Palace Maspalomas, however after staying here a couple of times we would not look back. The service is great with every need catered for, the food is faultless & the choice is endless. The rooms are a reasonable size are are very clean. Excellent value for money. more

I had high hopes that this hotel would rank to its star rating. I was told it had been re-furbished 2 yeras ago. The bottom line is that who ever did it was useless. The staff are all well meaning but the faciities are all below par. The only virtue was that it backs directlu onto the beach. Other than... more
