I rearly write reviews unless I think people have just been awkward or just grumpy about where they have stayed. We as a couple travel lots, RIU are normally our hotels of choice if they are available however this was a real shock to the system. She that must be obeyed had a serious problem with either food poisoning or... More

We were at the Riu Paraiso Hotel from the 5th to the 12th February ('12) and found very little to complain about. First, reception at check-in.. very friendly and happy to answer any questions, even phoning our room a couple of days later to make sure we were happy with everything. The room (215) was spotless, the maid was very... More

We were looking for a last minute holiday in the sun, so having consulted trip advisor - we paid a lot more than we had initially anticipated because this hotel looked so great and got amazing reviews. We have been sooooo disappointed. Over 300 people gave it an excellent experience. Now that we have experienced this hotel I can only... More

We were located... More

The hotel was rather large and very easy to get lost in. There were pool tables, football tables and a large kids playground. There was also a... More

This RIU hotel was first class. It is on a huge site with many rooms isolated from the main building and facilities.Restaurant gets busy at peak times - especially breakfast. Main bar is open to the wind which in late Jan/early Feb was unusually cold requiring a few patio heaters to be put out. Very friendly/helpful staff . Hotel layout... More

we have been to a few Riu hotels in the past with never a problem. This one was booked through Tompsons. The Hotel was good and large with plenty of rooms, Pools were good although some were very cold. As usual you have to get up early to get the pool side chairs as they are soon snapped up. There...

Turn left and there are bus stops to Puerto del carmen, Playa Blanca, Arreciefe, and Costa Teguise,as well as supermarkets bars etc. The buses do get extremely full so be prepared... More
