Just returned from a great 11 night stay at the Riu Gran Canaria. Let me start with the cons: Adult Pool: Sun beds were taken by around 8:00 am so if you have a preference on where you wish to locate yourself for the day then make sure you are up and about by this time. Space between the sun beds is limited which can make it difficult to follow the sun, however this is the same wherever you go. Adult Pool Umbrellas: No umbrellas provided on the adult sun terrace above the pool bar. I would have spent most of my time up there if umbrellas had been provided. Also there were a number of guests that did not use their umbrellas in the main adult pool area, would have made more sense for them to use the roof terrace to allow more adults to use the facilities. Children in the Adult Pool: There were a number of older children using the adult pool. This was not monitored on the first week of our stay, however, security did start to monitor it around 3 days before we returned home. Price for a late checkout: The Rep informed us that we would have to pay 11 euros per hour per person which would have resulted in us paying an additional 132 euros, this I think is way too expensive, at other hotels I have paid no more than 60 euros. Weather in May: There was a number of cloudy days which surprised me. We only had 3 blue sky days. The resort is also quite windy, however, this would not stop me returning but I would come later in the year. Pros in there plenty: Staff very welcoming at reception, restaurants and bars. Hotel community areas exceptionally clean. Hotel offers great facilities within the room and cleaned every day. Beautiful gardens that are very well maintained. Sun beds in there plenty in the main garden areas. A good selection of pools available: adults, Childrens and general. Great food, especially the Kulinarium Restaurant. Rave night, this is more of a party than a Rave. This was professionally managed. It was great to see guests of all ages enjoying themselves. Cocktails were a little weaker than normal however they were being produce in volume. Great location for strolling along the sea front. Thank you Riu Hotels for making our stay an enjoyable one. I am now looking to book up with you again soon.
