We had seen this hotel previously and decided to try it out on our next visit to Gran Canaria because of it's location and we weren't disappointed. The view from our balcony looked out over the hotel terrace, the pool and, albeit in the distance, the dunes and ocean. The room itself was spacious, some would say dated but I... More

This was our first holiday to Gran Canaria and although the main area of Playa del Ingles is not far, as it is in such a lovely position it makes you forget where you are. As it is in such a isolated position it takes a while to walk into town, so take a taxi at night, less than 4... More

I remember being a lot younger and staying in good hotels booked through UK tour operators when the flight and hotel were part of the same package. I used to walk by The Riu Placae in the early evening and peer through the cracks in the fence and wonder at the smartly dressed guests enjoying pre-dinner drinks and cocktails served... More

Just back from a 7 day break at this hotel in Gran Canaria. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean although you will need a room above the first floor for a good view of the dunes and sea.

We walked around the terraces, and whilst it could do with some remedial work... More

This is the second visit to this hotel, having stayed once before back in 2008 for New Year. Firstly, it must be stated that this hotel is a great place, very grand spotlessly clean reception and entrance, large spacious rooms and gorgeous marble corridors. By far the biggest asset this hotel has are the loyal and excellent staff, many of... More

We visited the Riu Palace Maspalomas at the end of April, it was great, lots of space around the pool and on the terraces, lovely comfortable armchairs to relax in. The service in the restaurant was very good and the food was delicious you have quite a selection, and a nice space between tables, we didn't even bother to use... More
