TripAdvisor Review
September 26

Only disappointment was the courtesy shower room which were spotless but no air conditioning so after showering to go home were left way too hot and sticky I think that staff should have allocated different rooms for comfort. Reception staff were not interested. Also when I enquired about the beach bags being given out was told none left however a party of German or Dutch people arrived an hour later were given one each. Seems a two tier system in place which is unacceptable I regularly stay in riu hotels so disappointed

Family holiday

We have just returned from a week’s holiday at the Riu Palace Palmeras. The hotel is beautiful. It is absolutely spotlessly clean, the staff are lovely, very friendly and always happy to help. They all work very hard to keep the hotel looking good. No issues getting a table at meal times, plenty of sun beds and waiter service in the main bar. Couple of negatives,the food isn’t very hot, maybe because it’s a buffet and the staff are not great replenishing drinks. The soft drinks are served in very small bottles and the water is not left on the table. We have stayed in several Riu Palace hotels and the water and wine has always been left on the table. The courtesy room is awful. It is clean and there are plenty of towels but no ventilation or air con so it is more like a sauna especially after a shower. All that said I would happily stay here again.

Great 24 hour all inclusive hotel

We had a very pleasant stay at the Hotel Riu Palace Palmeras.

Check-in was excellent, with very helpful and friendly staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with a very comfortable bed and a lovely balcony with seating.

The bathroom was a good size with a decent shower, and the complimentary minibar was a nice touch, stocked with beer, soft drinks and water and replenished every other day.

The food was really good throughout our stay, with an excellent variety and plenty of choice. Having food and drinks available 24 hours a day was also a real bonus.

The pool areas were very enjoyable, with comfortable sunbeds, and we never had any trouble finding one. The staff throughout the hotel were always friendly, helpful and welcoming.

The only slight negatives were the lack of organised daytime activities, and in the evenings it could sometimes be difficult to find seating for the entertainment.

The hotel is in a great central location, easy walking distance to the beach and shopping centres.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and would happily recommend the Hotel Riu Palace Palmeras.

Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so pleasant!

Great visit with some concern

We stayed at the nice allé inclusive hotel for the fourth time in 1,5 years. Almost everything was perfect. Very good staff, everything very well organised and cleanness in top. But food has deteriorated lately. Pasta overcooked, meat cooked to death and taste of absolutely nothing. You feel no passion from the chefs. The just do their job with no passion. It is really a shame because all the rest is so perfect here.

Another Fantastic Stay at Riu Palace Palmeras

We absolutely love Riu Palace Palmeras — this was our third stay and it didn’t disappoint! We had a fantastic 7th-floor room with an amazing view, and as always, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent, with plenty of choice at every meal, and the Krystal restaurant is a great addition, offering fusion cuisine in a more upmarket setting as part of the stay. The drinks selection is also excellent — I enjoyed more than a few Mango Vodka Suns in the evenings! Our room was light, exceptionally clean and spacious enough for two people for a week or longer. The in-room fridge is a great touch too, with beers, water and soft drinks replenished every few days. We’ll definitely be back!
