Across recent reviews, Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas - Adults Only stands out for its dune-side setting, spotless facilities, and friendly, attentive staff, while feedback on food ranges from excellent variety to occasionally bland or repetitive, and policies can feel strict.
Pools are attractive and often heated, with a calm adults-only atmosphere, though early sunbed reservation habits annoy some guests. Rooms are modern and comfortable with standout views, but several mention thin walls and morning trolley noise, and a few report cooler ground-floor rooms or pool and corridor noise; extra charges for the in-room safe and bottled water also frustrate. Expect a serene, adults-only stay with a focus on quiet comfort.

The hotel was spotlessly clean and very well-maintained. The room was nicely appointed. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. A few of them had more limited English skills but nothing that Google translate couldn't take care of. The food choices were very good but beware of limited seating times at the restaurants other than the buffet. The pool areas are lovely and the hotel provides great access to the Maspalomas dunes and the Playa del Ingles.

It was a great week with the best of care from staff. Food was ok with a big variety but a little bland in taste. The lounge chairs by the pools were not very comfortable.

10/10 would not recommend this place. This is definitely the most loosely labeled “resort” I’ve ever been to. I’ve never been to a place I’m paying so much money for that has so many stipulations and rules. First, what people said is true in the reviews. It is very quiet here with 95% of the customers being elderly. There is a strict dress code for attending the restaurants where you have to where pants and a T-shirt. Problem is, I didn’t bring pants because I’m on a hot desert island on vacation, I had to borrow some to get in. There is no convenience store in the resort to get drinks or snacks, so if you need to get a late night beverage or munchies, you have to go into town. The restaurants are only by reservation, no walk ins. The food is as bland as bland can be at every single restaurant. The buffet only serves breakfast and dinner and the restaurants only serve dinner. If you want lunch you have to walk out past the pool where they have a small menu for poolside food. The pool is awkwardly dead silent with no music playing for atmosphere, I’d be fine with even classical music. They have a poolside bar but WONT LET YOU BRING YOUR DRINKS IN THE POOL. When we tried, we were told we had to get out. This is supposed to be a vacation but it felt like daily we were being told we were breaking a rule or we were being inconvenienced. Spend your money elsewhere at a place that knows what the word vacation means. I’m all for rules but it needs to make sense.

Séjour très agréable. Chambre avec terrasse de belle taille entièrement rénovée. Personnel discret et efficace. Sur les repas, petit déjeuner et dîner avec un choix important et de qualité ! Vraiment ne pas hésiter à prendre la demi pension . Deux piscines chauffées très agréables, le cadre est arboré avec un pont vue sur les dunes. Possibilité de dîner sur deux restaurants dans l hôtel sur réservation sans supplément de prix. Les aspects négatifs de l'hôtel : le passage incessant les roues des chariots de ménage dès 8h00 du matin , les chariots lors des repas. De plus, j ai trouvé que facturer le coffre fort 4e par jour dans un 5etoiles n'est pas très correct, et pas très commercial. A contrario l arrivée est très bien faite avec petit verre de bienvenue plutôt sympa. Au global, hôtel que je conseille vivement !

This was a beautifully clean hotel, and staff were, mostly, very friendly. The location is excellent for exploring the dramatic dunes. There was a very good selection of high quality food, and I particularly liked the healthy/vegetarian corner of the buffet. There are two restaurants that you can book into, which was a nice touch, although choice is restricted there, particularly for non-meat eaters. Having a heated pool was really good for the time of year I was there (Jan). The gym was basic but offered enough for me with bikes, crosstrainers and treadmills with some weight machines. I found it very disappointing that such a luxury hotel would charge me (50 euro) to use the in-room safe. This has been complained about by many other reviewers and the hotel just seem to ignore it. I was also not impressed that, although half-board, I had to pay for water with my evening meal. The water in the bathrooms is signed as non drinkable and you have to pay for a bottle of water from the mini bar. This feels like cheap tactics that you wouldn't expect from a quality hotel, and concerning in a hot country. The only water fountain is at the gym.

A great 5 star hotel in a magical destination. The hotel is in a great position near the dunes and we were in ocean view room. The room was modern and large with a great bathroom. The balcony had an amazing view and is very quiet. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Especially at the pool bar, the buffet and at reception. Nothing was ever hard and rarely they ever said no. They were very helpful. The hotel is very modern and the pools are heated and look great. The buffet was good and changes every night, just way too many options.

Unieke lokatie aan de rand van de duinen! Prachtig zicht uit de kamer! De kamerdeur naar de gang minder goed geísoleerd…. Veel geluiden door metalen karren die niet op PTFE rollers glijden en veel gebabbel vanaf de vroege morgen. Eten en bediening waren fantastisch! Prachtig hotel op unieke locatie!

Das Hotel und die ganze Anlage sind in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand. Die Mitarbeitenden sind ausgesprochen freundlich und zuvorkommend, und auch das Essen am Buffet war stets frisch und es war für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Einziger Kritikpunkt: die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, was das Ausschlafen bisweilen etwas schwierig machte.

This didn’t get 5 starts due to a few irritating things. I would definitely return so don’t take these as off putting - just have an awareness! €25 for the safe at a five star hotel is ridiculous, I was in an Ibis earlier in the year and it was free! The noise from the housekeeping team in the morning was awful, I know they have a job to do but the paying customers are on holiday and don’t want to be woken at 7.15 every morning. There was a stupid motion activated light in the bathroom that clicked on and off every 3 seconds - please deactivate these The food was fine with a huge variety but not any different to any all inclusive buffet…..why do they not offer an all inclusive option?

Nous avons adoré la localisation à proximité des Dunes et de la plage, le spot est magnifique. L'hôtel est fabuleux, reposant, les installations sont parfaites, les repas délicieux. Le service est irréprochable et le personnel au petit soin. Seul bémol, un bruit du frigo dans la chambre et un certain manque d'isolation dans notre chambre mais tout cela a été qu'un détail par rapport à la qualité de l'établissement

The property is beautiful and most the staff is very helpful. Loved the breakfast and dinner buffets. Location against the dunes is wonderful. I didn’t love that they expect the guest to pay extra for use of the in-room safe and the room gets a lot of noise from pool area, rooms above, hallways. So if you are light sleeper, this may not be your hotel.

Nous avons été déçu par notre chambre. Elle été située en rez de chaussée exposée nord. Il y faisait froid (18/19°) et pas de chauffage ! La réception nous a dit qu'il n'y avait pas de chauffage aux Canaries ! Nous avons dû de mander deux couvertures et mon conjoint est tombé malade. Nous connaissions cet hôtel et pensions que pour un cinq étoiles nous aurions un meilleur service. Un hôtel 5 étoiles doit être parfait !

We had a beautiful large room facing the dunes and ocean. The dirty towels were picked up in the evening. A very nice touch not seen very often now a days. The breakfast had a wide variety. The bubbly, white or rose, were lovely as well as the wide variety of fresh squeezed juices ( strawberry was our favourite). The only negative for us is we would have enjoyed a coffee maker in our room ( but there is a keddle for tea drinkers). Another nice touch at the Riu Palace, you have to check out at 11 but they will keep your bags if you want to stay for the afternoon. You can continue to use the pool and they will offer you a room to shower and change, if needed, before your departure. Wonderful option at no extra charge! Overall, we had an excellent 3 day stay at the Riu Palace Maspalomas.

A great 5 star hotel in a magical destination. The hotel is in a great position near the dunes and we were in ocean view room. The room was modern and large with a great bathroom. The balcony had an amazing view and is very quiet. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Especially at the pool bar, the buffet and at reception. Nothing was ever hard and rarely they ever said no. They were very helpful. The hotel is very modern and the pools are heated and look great. The buffet was good and changes every night, just way too many options.

Stayed in room 0016. Very nice sea view with a large terrace. Had included dinner. The buffet in Dunas restaurant is really good and there are some really good staff there. The only downside is the Espanol restaurant where the view over the dunes is spectacular but the food is unfortunately not. Also at one occassion during the 20 nights stay the cleaner did not lock the terrace door. The pool area is fantastic and the location of the hotel as well. Highly recommended

front desk. After paying for our room in two parts (due to issues with their faulty card machine), my partner was told that the payment hadn’t been processed, and they insisted we pay the full amount again, along with our food and drink expenses. Even after showing them the receipt and proof of payment, they continued to insist we hadn’t paid. Thankfully, I kept all the documentation, but instead of an apology, we received a dismissive “okay, we’ll take it off now.” It was handled terribly, as if we were criminals trying to get away with something. This encounter completely soured our experience, and I’ll never set foot in this hotel again. Other disappointing aspects included: 1. Noise in the Morning: The cleaning staff began rolling their trolleys on hard floors as early as 8:00 a.m., with loud echoes and chatter that woke guests up. Even on Sunday, they didn’t hold back, starting at 8:45 a.m. 2. Underwhelming Dining Experience: The breakfast and dinner buffets prioritized quantity over quality. Bread and pastries seemed store-bought, eggs were overcooked, and yogurt was an unappealing, gloopy blob. The coffee—whether cappuccino or café con leche—was undrinkable. Booking a la carte restaurants was impossible for days after arrival, adding to the frustration. 3. Lack of Basic Amenities: In the room, we had no complimentary bottled water, and we had to pay extra to use the safe. These are basic expectations for a five-star hote

The hotel was spotlessly clean and very well-maintained. The room was nicely appointed. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. A few of them had more limited English skills but nothing that Google translate couldn't take care of. The food choices were very good but beware of limited seating times at the restaurants other than the buffet. The pool areas are lovely and the hotel provides great access to the Maspalomas dunes and the Playa del Ingles.

There are many, many great points about this resort. The staff, the food, the showers, everything was great. The reason for only four stars instead of five is because there is a mandatory rule that men must wear trousers to eat inside any restaurant and this was not explained before arrival. Women can wear any length of dress, skirt or shorts but men must be in full length trousers. Only having the one pair that I flew in left me with little options. If you have such strict rules, make sure guests know about it before arriving so I could have packed more appropriately. I’ve checked the booking process and all correspondence and nothing was ever mentioned. I spoke with management while there and the reply I got was, “we need to think about the other guests” but there was just a shrug of the shoulders when I said it was one clear rule for men and another for women which wasn’t fair. It was an annoyance but it didn’t ruin the holiday which was great. Just wish you’d either change the archaic “men have to wear trousers” rule or let guests know who book through Expedia that these are the rules.

Everything about this hotel deserves 5 stars. In particular, we enjoyed the choice and quality of what is offered at the buffet, the amount of staff and their helpfulness and kindness. They really go out of their way to make you happy. There’s nothing I would think to complain about. We would go back anytime.

Location
Scenic edge-of-dunes setting with pleasant walks to beaches and nearby dining; many love the views and calm. A minority felt the beach access was a longer walk and the immediate area less appealing.

Très belle expérience, les dunes sont vraiment aux portes de l'hôtel. L'endroit est calme, reposant. Très bon service. Climat idéal avec alizé. Possibilité de rejoindre la plage playa del ingles ainsi que la place Maspalomas en longeant les dunes par une zone piétonne. La plage la plus proche Maspalomas (attention mixte mi habillé mi nudiste) est à 600m environ en passant par un chemin entre les dunes ainsi que le quartier très commercial de Meloneras qui est vraiment chouette. Pour les course à pied, je vous conseil justement ces 2 chemins: un en dur vers la place Maspalomas et l'autre légèrement sableux, plage et partie piétonne depuis Meloneras. Ah, je vais quand même préciser que la communauté au drapeau multicolore est tout aussi visible que les couples hétéros.

The property is beautiful and most the staff is very helpful. Loved the breakfast and dinner buffets. Location against the dunes is wonderful. I didn’t love that they expect the guest to pay extra for use of the in-room safe and the room gets a lot of noise from pool area, rooms above, hallways. So if you are light sleeper, this may not be your hotel.

This was a beautifully clean hotel, and staff were, mostly, very friendly. The location is excellent for exploring the dramatic dunes. There was a very good selection of high quality food, and I particularly liked the healthy/vegetarian corner of the buffet. There are two restaurants that you can book into, which was a nice touch, although choice is restricted there, particularly for non-meat eaters. Having a heated pool was really good for the time of year I was there (Jan). The gym was basic but offered enough for me with bikes, crosstrainers and treadmills with some weight machines. I found it very disappointing that such a luxury hotel would charge me (50 euro) to use the in-room safe. This has been complained about by many other reviewers and the hotel just seem to ignore it. I was also not impressed that, although half-board, I had to pay for water with my evening meal. The water in the bathrooms is signed as non drinkable and you have to pay for a bottle of water from the mini bar. This feels like cheap tactics that you wouldn't expect from a quality hotel, and concerning in a hot country. The only water fountain is at the gym.

This was probably our 6th or 7th time staying here and it is still a stunning hotel. The rooms are comfy and spacious with large terraces, the staff are truly exceptional in every way. The pool is lovely and the prices of wine etc are all very fair. One thing had let it down for us this year and that is we feel the quality of the food has deteriorated a little. Even the speciality restaurants, which are beautiful, the food was not quite up to scratch. Meat was often tough or tasteless and most desserts were inedible. Salads were great and there were occasional flairs but in general disappointing. Their emphasis seems to be on quantity rather than quality.
