Hotel Riu Palace Meloneras

Tolles Hotel direkt am Meer mit super Garten ! Das Restaurant war super ! Leider bei 5 Sterne klein Wasser im Zimmer und Nespresso Maschine Es war auch kein Kosmetik Sachen oder Seife !! Service im Zimmer Ok

A place to unwind and relax. The pools were amazing and heated to a good temperature so going for a swim was a pleasure. I have been to other hotels in March in the Canaries and they have had wonderful pools but absolutely freezing so can’t go in them. Very important to me as I like to have a morning swim before breakfast. I would return to the hotel just for the pools. Everything else was very good, the food, service, cleanliness. Good size rooms with a very comfortable bed and lots of storage space. Lovely balcony with good views. We were on the 3rd floor with a side sea view room. The hotel has a feeling of grandeur especially in the reception area. My one gripe is that we got the RIU transfer to the hotel which took about an hour which was acceptable but going to the airport they transfer was going to pick us up 5 hours before our flight. We did not want to hang about the airport for that length of time so got the hotel transfer which cost us 55 euro.

Just returned from a lovely week in the Riu Palace but not a five star hotel, we would rate it four star. Our room which we upgraded to a sea view was lovely and well equipped, cleaned and bed turned down every night which was great with towels changed on request. There are plenty of pools to choose from and we never had any problems getting a sun bed at any time of the day. Hotel buffet restaurant always had lots of different themed areas and menu was changed on a daily basis, but two big negatives which in our opinion makes it a four star was firstly the warmth of the food which on some occasions was verging on being cold and way below the temperatures food should be served, during our visit this was a topic discussed many times with other guests during our stay. The second negative and I see it was highlighted before was the amount of broken crockery used during our stay and after being pointed out was never put aside, not five star on both negatives. I should point out that all the staff were excellent and work extremely hard, especially during busy times, and no one ever passes you without saying hello, a lovely touch, and there are a couple of other Restaurants in the hotel you can visit when on a HB basis. The hotel is well situated and access to the promenade is very easy and the bus station which we used to visit Porto Rico and Porto Mogan is only ten minutes away, buses are very frequent and relatively cheap and both places which are lovely are a must visit when in the area. Another must do is attend the Riu party night on a Friday evening in the adjoining Riu hotel, we had a great night, and it was attended by all ages. All in all this is a lovely four star hotel with plenty of hard working staff but needs a couple of changes to make it Five star.

We visited in March for a week. The food was just amazing, both for choice and quality. We had a lovely garden room. I would like to thank all the staff for our really lovely stay, and for making my husband’s birthday so special at breakfast and dinner. We will definitely be back!

This was our 7th Holiday at the Riu Palace Meloneras in the last 10 years. as always, we booked the Superior Room with Sea View thru the hotels webside, as mentioned in the past, the rooms are a good standard size, modern, clean, and equipped with a nice bathroom (large shower) and a well-functioning air conditioning system. Housekeeping was very good and always on time, the rooms were kept nice and tidy. I can definitely recommend private Shuttle for 50,00€ each way The restaurant has a high standard, and the buffet food selection was varied and excellent about 90% of the time. The management should look into the situation with the following problems: Bread sometimes old and very good vegan service for people with allergies In the last couple of years, all 5 pools had their sunbeds reserved before breakfast, although it states not to reserve sunbeds. We asked the pool boy what we could do, and his answer was we are looking into this The new rule on the day of departure: the hotel management wanted €19 for staying in the room for 1 hour longer, which is really not acceptable when the room costs over €3500.00 for 6 nights. Both our mattresses in our room were quite old and not too comfortable. But all in all, the staff was very friendly, the main restaurant was good, the gardens & Pools were spotlessly clean, and the sunbeds were good. The rooms as said are acceptable for such an hotel that is over 20 years old and we have booked again for 8 time in November 2025

Wonderful food. No all inclusive option. Great location. Very good staff. This is the posh quiet Riu, next to the livelier Riu Gran Canaria 4 star next door. The four star would be better for younger families. This is better for food lovers. We would recommend this hotel. Near to lots of posh designer shops, lovely restaurants and 15 min walk to massive beach.
