Riu Palace Maspalomas (Adults Only) Hotel San Bartolome de Tirajana

Review by hotel critic

With over 60 years of experience, Riu Palace Maspalomas is the ideal place for a unique holiday experience in Gran Canaria. Nestled amidst the sand dunes and lush gardens, this adults-only hotel offers a true oasis in the bustling Playa del Inglés area. The modern rooms feature all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning and satellite TVs.The highlight of my stay was the stunning view overlooking the dunes, truly a sight to behold and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The hotel's dining options were varied, with chefs preparing delicious buffet breakfasts and dinners with live cooking stations. However, I must say that the new lunch buffet and evening dining setup did not live up to expectations, lacking the depth of flavors I had hoped for. The pool area, now without the island, provided ample space for swimming and lounging under the sun. The spa experience, particularly the massages by Sven, was rejuvenating and left me feeling revitalized.while there were some minor disappointments with the dining options, the hotel's picturesque setting, attentive staff, and comfortable rooms make it a great choice for a relaxing getaway in Gran Canaria. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, Riu Palace Maspalomas offers a blend of modern luxury and natural beauty that is truly worth exploring.
