Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives in an overall enjoyable experience. The rooms are clean and spacious, perfect for a family stay, and the pool area is lovely with plenty of sunbeds. However, the dining experience, particularly the buffet, left much to be desired with repetitive options and overcooked dishes. Additionally, service in the buffet area could be improved, as it led to frustrations during peak meal times.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, as it's a modern and clean place with friendly staff who are always eager to assist. The dining options were varied and the food quality was great, but I did find it a bit repetitive after a while. Although the nearby beach was accessible, the path involved some steep steps which could be challenging. The entertainment in the evenings was not really geared towards younger guests, which I found a little disappointing.
We had a decent stay at the Riu hotel. The property is clean and modern, with an impressive pool area. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and the sunbathing situation was quite cramped. While the service was pleasant, it did feel like they catered more to a specific clientele.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and comfortable environment, friendly staff, and excellent food options. The proximity to the beach is a huge plus, although the entertainment could use some fresh ideas. Overall, it's a great place for relaxation and enjoying meals, but there are minor areas for improvement.
My recent stay at Hotel Riu Palace Palmeras was quite enjoyable overall. The hotel had a peaceful atmosphere, with stunning palm trees creating a relaxing vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the dining options were excellent, particularly the fresh seafood. However, I did notice some guests reserving sunbeds without using them, which was a bit annoying. Additionally, I would have appreciated a better management of smoking around the pool area as a non-smoker.
