The hype
Guests worship the location and the lush gardens, but often feel the food quantity beats quality.
Riu Palace Oasis
$250-350 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want the only hotel in Maspalomas with direct, zero-hassle access to the sand without crossing a promenade.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- 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
Ringkasan Cepat: A grand dame that rests on its unbeatable location laurels—expect 5-star grounds but a 4-star hustle at the buffet.
Ditinjau oleh @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.

💡The evening entertainment is very 'cruise ship'—think Queen tribute bands and magic shows.
