Hotel Riu Palace Meloneras

What a fabulous hotel. The breakfast and dinner buffets were fresh and extensive. Cleanliness was superb. Service was smiley and friendly. The pools were immaculate and most of the time the fellow guests were considerate and respectful.

We had booked a extra large room which was situated in the grounds of the hotel, Just perfect very clean, spacious, bright and a beautiful large shower.we had chocolates and a bottle of bubbly in our room upon arrival. A fantastic location, the most wonderful choice of food, staff couldn’t have been more polite, nothing was too much trouble. We absolutely loved our stay and we will be returning.

We have been coming to this hotel for many years and always have a great time The food is excellent and the service is first class We are both Diamond class and are rather disappointed that instead of the usual welcome bottle of Cava in our room we now are given a bottle of water each We presume this is the case of the Riu group trying to save money

I can’t fault this hotel Great breakfast great buffet, great pools lovely staff Will be so difficult to match this hotel for our golf holiday next year

This is an excellent hotel! Reception staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble and we never felt rushed with our queries. Every area of the hotel is spotlessly clean and the grounds are well cared for by the numerous gardeners. The rooms are clean and comfortable with plenty of space to accommodate your clothes. Large bathroom with large shower. Pools are well maintained with plenty of comfortable padded sunbeds and no problem finding one to flop onto whatever time of day you decide to turn up. The pool attendants are the best I have ever seen and actively help people to put up sunshades and locate them exactly as you want. The waiting staff servicing the pool areas work tirelessly to supply drinks and snacks. The restaurants are excellent with great quality food. We visited both a la carte restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed both. Waiting staff are always welcoming and efficient in their duties. The location of the hotel is excellent. The promenade gives easy access to the Maspalomas beach and dunes. Plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants in close walking distance. We will definitely be returning 😊

You will see from previous posts that we have stayed at this hotel a few times before and love Gran Canaria. We had great interaction and Service from the staff, Begona and Carmen in the restaurant, Donato at the pool though all the staff deserve a mention as they are all very helpful and friendly. Our trip this time was marred a bit as my wife fell on our 2nd night on water that had leaked out feom the shower onto the floor then was bitten by something... Still to be determined what the source was, pharmacy had suggested either something outside or bed... brought this ro hotels attention and bed, mattress etc was changed. Disappointing thing for us was there was no follow up from hotel to see how things were, which I was a bit surprised about. That said, we would go nack in a heartbeat.

Fantastic hotel...great pools, restaurants and staff. 5 Star. Ocenview restaurant for Tapas excellent. We will stay here again.

Our 25th Anniversary break was delayed by family illness and bereavement, so we looked long and hard for somewhere we could relax, and give our adult son his own room. We settled on Rui Palace due to the great reviews, and the appeal of the garden rooms. It did not disappoint, we had two garden room in the same block and both were spacious and immaculately looked after by the staff. And the WiFi was very fast which these days is a must. The food was plentiful and good, and while this is not a small hotel, the layout of the tables and food hall never felt crowded, and there was always a helpful smiling member of staff to hand. Though weaning myself off a four course breakfast on return home will be a challenge! This is not a young persons hotel in September at nearly 60 I was probably under the average age, and it is a hotel where Brits are the minority but in many ways these are plus points, the other guests were polite, quite and clearly intent on relaxing. The gardens are well looked after and I enjoyed the strolls from room to pool, in fact I probably walked more than I needed to. As most places there is some degree of sunbed reserving but never a real AM rush. And the infinity pool we frequented had superb views out to sea. The walks outside the hotel along the coast are good, and my son and I located the 19th Hole bar, 5 minute walk from our rooms to take in a few football matches. My wife and I are almost certainly returning next year, the hotel is not cheap but you pay for the quality and frankly we would rather stay here once every two years than go somewhere lesser annually.
