Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Riu Gran Canaria is known for its immaculate grounds with beautiful palm trees, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Guests often enjoy the main pool and the adults-only infinity pool, though some note that securing sunbeds requires an early start. There is a great choice of food and drinks, with delicious options at the Italian and Asian themed buffet restaurants, and cocktails available at the manned bars. The hotel is also close to the promenade and the center.

immaculate grounds main pool infinity pool attentive staff

the hotel grounds were immaculate with beautiful palm trees. the main pool and adults-only infinity pool were great, but securing sunbeds required early morning towel placement. staff members across all departments were attentive to guest needs. i found anowa at reception especially helpful and bar staff always friendly and fun.

Our room was very clean and the mini-bar had free drinks and it was well-stocked, something i value. the shower offered a good size and water pressure. It was very refreshing after a day in the sun.

reliable stay

cleanliness condition well kept gardens multiple pools adults only pool

I appreciated the cleanliness and the well kept gardens. i noted six pools were available. The main pool and the adults only affinity pool were standouts! securing sun beds near the pool requires some dedication. It is essential to arrive by 8:00 am to reserve a spot, which i thought was early.

the entertainment shows quality could be better. the aero plane themed show did not quite resonate, though the dancers had energy.
