We had a beautiful large room facing the dunes and ocean. The dirty towels were picked up in the evening. A very nice touch not seen very often now a days. The breakfast had a wide variety. The bubbly, white or rose, were lovely as well as the wide variety of fresh squeezed juices ( strawberry was our favourite). The only negative for us is we would have enjoyed a coffee maker in our room ( but there is a keddle for tea drinkers). Another nice touch at the Riu Palace, you have to check out at 11 but they will keep your bags if you want to stay for the afternoon. You can continue to use the pool and they will offer you a room to shower and change, if needed, before your departure. Wonderful option at no extra charge!
Overall, we had an excellent 3 day stay at the Riu Palace Maspalomas.
