Ok, buckle up, here is the truth regarding this hotel....it's fab, with certain conditions.My partner and i travelled with our 14yr old daughter, and even though we'd read it was quiet here and that was exactly what we wanted, it really was...shhhh....quiet.If you like to let your hair down then forget this hotel, if you just want to get away... more

From check in to check out our most relaxing holiday ever. We are a couple in our early 50s who simply wanted to chill out and this we surely did. Superb room with views across the two pools to the sand dunes and the lighthouse in the distance. Modern decor, very quiet, we heard no-one around us at all, and... more

A lot has been said about this hotel already and we agree with most. Staff excellent, very clean, well run, peacefull, quiet, nice views, good location. The breakfast was very good. The evening meal was very bad. The hot food was repetitive, bland, greasy, poor combinations. The huge salad buffet was even worse, unless you like everything pickled or marinated... more

In need of a relaxing, glamorous summer getaway, we decided to stay at the RIU Palace Maspalomas. We were not dissapointed one bit. Our check-in was effortless, our room with sun terrace was lovely and the sand dune setting was stunning. The biggest suprise was the food - it was truly outstanding, with endless choice and a superb table service.... more

This hotel has a large number of germans and the waiters seem to give preference to those. The usual Germans booking and sometimes not using sun... more

We have just returned from an excellent holiday at the Riu Palace Maspalomas. This is the best hotel we have stayed at in Europe. If you want a hotel that is quiet and relaxing, has fantastic food and where the clientele are predominately German and over 50 with hardly any children, then this is for you! (This is what we... more

I stayed at this hotel for 15 nights from the last week of April 2008 and it was my second time after a 16 night stay in September 2007. The staff bend over backwards to fulfil every need or whim, the rooms were impressive, the dinner arrangement for half-board guests was excellent. When I had problems arranging tours, the reception... more

Plymouth 5th May 2008 Just returned from a fantastic week. I can honestly say this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble, the hotel was spotless and our room was lovely. We stayed on a b&b basis and the food was excellent with a wide and varied choice, ate so much for breakfast... more
