This was our first Riu hotel but it was so good they will be the first hotels we try for any holiday in the future. Now for the review. Fantastic food especially the gala dinners. Staff really friendly and helpful. Good sized spotless room with two large double wardrobes so plenty of room if staying longer. More hangers are readily... More

This was the first time we have stayed at a Riu hotel and were very impressed. A big hotel, much bigger than our normal choice and even though they said it was running near full you only really noticed it busy at meal times. We toyed for a while between staying in Canico or Funchal. Glad we stayed in Canico... More

Our first time in Madeira and what a wonderful island. The Riu Palace was terrific value for money and ticked most of the boxes. The room was fine with a small balcony and a partial view of the sea, it was cleaned very well and was comfortable. The food was very good, even though basically buffet style, there were always...

Our first visit to this hotel, but possibly not our last, as everything was excellent. Nice comfortable room with lovely view. All staff, from pool assistants and cleaners, to waiting staff and reception, couldn't do enough for you, were very friendly and spoke excellent English. Food was first class and there was an amazing choice available. We would definitely recommend... More

I found the rooms a little disappointing as they looked very tired and dated. The furniture in my room was chipped and scuffed and the curtains had mould on them along the bottom. However the room was cleaned every day and the bathroom was spotless. A couple of the sockets in the room didn't work either so I had to... More

My wife and I stayed for a week in September, arriving approx. 21.30 hrs with 20 or so other travellers, we were tired and hot and had to fill in forms in reception. It was so hot & humid that we realised no air conditioning was running in the large reception area. Our bedroom was the same,very hot! the ceiling... More
