Запазете го, ако You want the only hotel in Maspalomas with direct, zero-hassle access to the sand without crossing a promenade.
Защо хората я обичат
- Direct private access to Maspalomas beach (rare for this area)
- Swim-up rooms that actually feel private
- Massive palm grove gardens that create a true 'oasis' buffer from the town
Бързо резюме: A grand dame that rests on its unbeatable location laurels—expect 5-star grounds but a 4-star hustle at the buffet.
Преглеждано от @the_passionatetraveler: I spent my days lounging in the palm gardens and cooling off in my private swim-up pool. The Riu Palace Oasis lives up to its name—it felt like a polished, tropical hideaway right next to the dunes. The marble bathroom was just the cherry on top of a perfect stay.

- You prioritize beach access over everything else
- You enjoy a 'classic' (read: slightly old-school) hotel vibe
- You want a resort that feels like a botanical garden

- Maintenance: Renovated in 2018, so mostly modern, but some wear and tear on pool tiles and grout is visible.

The 'Krystal' fusion restaurant is the best dining option but requires booking days in advance—do it immediately upon arrival.

Walk to 'La Charca' lagoon right next door at sunset for incredible birdwatching without the crowds.

The lobby bar has a terrace that is often quieter than the pool bar for a pre-dinner drink.
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'Garden View' can sometimes mean 'View of a hedge and a parked car'.
💡Public bathrooms near the pool often have a lingering sewage smell (common in Canaries, but noticeable here).
💡The 'fresh' orange juice at breakfast is often the good stuff, unlike the watery mix at other all-inclusives.
💡You have to pay extra to change your pool towel more than once a day in some cases.
💡The evening entertainment is very 'cruise ship'—think Queen tribute bands and magic shows.
