Hotel Riu Gran Canaria 4*

We used the hotel shared transfer from the airport which was quick with just a couple of other hotel stops on the way. The reception welcome was warm and helpful, during our stay Tino and Marina were great at answering any questions we had. Our sea view room was perfect with a daily clean serviced by Osmaiky. Lots of day activities, Fernando and David were fun at the table tennis and got everyone playing. For lunch, we liked the sea view at Atlantico so often ate there. Lots of salad, snacks and cooked items to select from. We ate in the themed restaurants in the evening, although buffet selections, staff were always friendly. Thank you to the following for topping up our glasses, Solmary (Amore Mio), Yadira and Alessio (Kaori) and Yadira, Angelica and Pepe (Steakhouse) The entertainment shows are good with the White party being high energy for several hours, seats are taken away in the morning, so you will be dancing… We are looking forward to returning very soon

A lot of people at the end of August, and still the same problem: towels are placed early in the morning and people arrive in the afternoon; as far as the adult pool is concerned, it is very difficult to find a lounge chair. It would be wise to create smoking areas away from the pools. Lots of entertainment, including in the afternoon at the adult pool with either a musician or a singer. For those who do not like noise, avoid the hotel on Friday nights during special events. It is a shame that Gold status is not taken into consideration, with no special attention like in other RIU hotels. Otherwise the food is good, the Italian restaurant is good, and the coffee bar is a good idea. In the hallways leading to the rooms, the tile grout should be redone; it gives a bad impression. We had a good stay.
