Riu Vistamar Gran Canaria - All Inclusive

The staff at the hotel were exceptional. All were very welcoming and friendly. The room was upgraded to a double room at no extra cost. It was a good size. Bed was very comfortable and slept well every night. Bathroom again a good size with a good shower. Room decor was new and very clean. Great view of the bay below. I was in room 569. Food quality was very good. I ate most things. I'd read reviews before I went of people being ill in the hotel. I saw none of this. The food was all fresh and replenished regularly. The tables were cleaned immediately after people had finished and left. Dirty plates taken from the table as soon as people had finished that meal. I would stay here again.

Stayed here for one night after our flight was cancelled. Had stayed at Gloria palace for the week but couldn’t get that for a night. This hotel is really good and has everything you need. Dinner was superb with a varied choice in the buffet.

As it is built on the side of a hill overlooking the sea the layout was different from other hotels that we have stayed in. It would have been helpful to have escalators to the upper levels where the pools were. Apart from that we had a room with a superb view and really enjoyed all other aspects of the hotel.

We are just back from 10 days in the RIU Vistamar. We were a family group of 12 ranging in age from 8 up to 60. The hotel is built very high up on a cliff. We were on the first floor and our room had a lovely view of the ocean. The view was a little obscured by an ugly netting that goes around part of the hotel. It was fine though, I just looked out to sea and avoided looking down at the net. The room was nice. It was cleaned everyday by a lovely cleaning lady who did a great job. Bottled Water was provided everyday. Really appreciated that. There was a mini fridge and safe in the room, beds were comfy. Only thing I would say about the first floor is that it is a long long way up to the 8 and 9th floor which is where the reception area, restaurant, bars and pools are. The lifts were not as efficient as they could be and sometimes you could be waiting a while for one. Make sure you have everything with you and don’t have to go back to the room too often. The all inclusive food was ok. The roast joints of meat in the evening were very tasty. The Canarian food such as the stews and paellas were very good. We went out for dinner 4 nights out of the 10 and breakfast 3 mornings. I have had better food in previous all inclusives I have stayed in where you wouldn’t want to go out at all. Same with the alcohol. It was plentiful and the measures very generous but the wine wasn’t great and red wine would be my drink. The beer is Amstel and my husband wasn’t a fan. There was a generic vodka but if u asked for it specifically they would give Eristof which was marginally better. The pools were lovely. When you check in you get a towel card and you can get fresh towels everyday up until 2pm. There is a restaurant at the pools called Seabreeze and they have food that you can take away on paper plates and eat at the pool. I have to tell you that there are A-LOT of steps and stairs at this hotel. It is not for you if you have problems with mobility.
