    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    The Riu Papayas rolls out a shedload of activities for all the family, and tops things off with extras like a free beach shuttle bus.

    You’ll find the sand of Playa del Ingles a 10-minute walk from this place, or you can hop on the free shuttle bus. There are four shopping centres within 15 minutes’ stroll, too. If you’re after a daytrip, Las Palmas is a 40-minute car journey away.

    The colourful grounds come with a big swimming spot and a separate splashing area for kids. There’s plenty of room for catching rays, as well as a section with shade-giving gazebos.

    Lovely hotel with friendly staff
    07 Oct , 2019 AHC75, 1096727
    Arrived at the hotel later than planned due to the flight delay, staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Check in was quick and our luggage was taken up to our room whilst we went and had dinner. Every where is lovely and clean, rooms are a good size too, also with a fridge. Always managed to find a table in the main restaurant and plenty of choice of food. Tried the Asian restaurant which was very nice. Plenty of sunbeds available with umbrellas but if you want a specific spot then best to be putting your towel down 8-8.30. Never understood why some people got the beds under the canopies then moaned when others wanted the canopy closed! Entertainment staff very friendly and not pushy to get you to join in. They work very hard putting on their shows in the evening and you can often see them practicing after the lunchtime period in between their normal activities. The practice certainly pays off we thoroughly enjoyed their shows. All staff were friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. Late afternoon flight going home but we checked out at 11, luggage was stored in the luggage room and we used the courtesy rooms to shower and change after spending the day by the pool. Would recommend doing this the courtesy rooms are spotless with plenty of clean towels to use, each room has 2 separate showers. Will definitely be coming back here, very impressed.
    Everything you could ask for for an amazing holiday

    We really enjoyed our stay and our holiday. What makes this hotel are the staff. Nothing is too much to ask. They are so friendly and work so hard to achieve the cleanliness that is seen all around the hotel. The food is the best. So much choice and something for everyone. One of us was vegetarian and he had a lot of choice as well. Our room was spotless and cleaned daily. Rep was very helpful and do take advantage of the island tours. We went on 3 and all were very good. We really recommend the all day island tour. We had it filmed for 29 euros and we have viewed the memory stick and it is good value and a keepsake. Pool area was good and enough sunbeds for all. Only place we felt could do with a little tweaking is the evening entertainment. But everything else more than make up for this. Such efficient service and excellent value.
    Great hotel

    We have recently returned from a week stay at this hotel. The hotel was fantastic. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, balancing was also of a decent size. Fridge in room which has bottles of water in ready for you lovely little touch. The bathroom was a very good size compared to other hotels. There was always a great selection of food on all 3 meal sittings we never struggled to find something to eat. It gets a little repetitive but that’s expected with an all inclusive hotel. Drinks were of a good choice and help yourself. The sun canopies seemed to be an issue but we just chose beds with umbrellas instead up on the adults only terrace we spent the whole week as there were always beds available on there was a nice quiet spot. Entertainment was of a good standard throughout the day and into the evening they work extremely hard with everyone but are never pushy. We walked down to the beach but it wasn’t what we were expecting so we didn’t stay. There were plenty of bars and restaurants around the hotel if you fancied a break away one night which is what we did. Would definitely recommend this hotel to others as the standard here was great well done Rui

    From start to finish we had a wonderful time. We arrived quite late in the evening, the reception staff were very efficient and explained fully about the hotel. There was food laid on for us even though the restaurant was closed. The food during our stay was extremely good with good variety. Our room was spacious, comfortable and kept in tip top order by housekeeping. Most impressed with the walk in shower, the water was always hot and the water pressure excellent. We had a super Tui rep, Josh who was fantastic. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay and would certainly stay there again.
