The hotel reception, accomodation, buffet food was excellent quality. We had half board but other Riu hotels offer all inclusive. The hotel was well run and the managers personally went out of their way to make sure you was enjoying your stay. There was free regular courtesey buses to the shops. The hotel was sited on a cliff and there... More

Just returned from our second stay at the Riu Palace and it is still excellent; the staff try really hard to make your stay special, and succeed; nothing is too much trouble. If you have not been to this hotel before you will be impressed. More

We have just returned from a 7 night stay. From start to finish we all had a fantastic time, the little touches count from a glass of champers on arrival to the warm welcome we received from every member of staff who we bumped into. We had our 18 month old daughter with us, kids pool was great alto the... More

We booked the Riu Palace after reading all the good reveiws and we were not disappointed! The hotel is comfortable and elegant, the staff are efficient and friendly and the food delicious. We were particularly impressed that we were offered a cold meal when we arrived back late after a delayed trip. The grounds of the hotel are lovely and... More

Just returned from our second visit to the Riu Palace and once again we were not disappointed. From the moment you step inside the Hotel you are made to feel special. A warm welcome, quick slick check- in and our room on a corner had two balconies to catch any spring sunshine around. ALL the staff are upbeat, proffesional in... More

Returned from the RIU Palace Hotel on the 23 April after a 5 night stay and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We travelled independently and the hotel arranged for the airport transfer which we had requested at the time of booking. The mini-bus driver met us on time at Faro and the same driver took us back... More

You are shown to your table and this is your table for the duration of your stay. I was a lttle dissapointed that there... More

This was our third visit to the RIU Palace Algarve the last being in June 2010. We were slightly disappointed by dinner especially over the weekend, the waiting staff are a bit too keen on removing the a la carte menu from the table before you've had a chance to peruse the options. Breakfasts were excellent as always. The hotel... More

Just returned from a ten day holiday at this superb hotel in Olhos d Agua. It cannot fail to impress in every way. It is without doubt the cleanest we have been to in all areas of the hotel. Staff are constantly at work to ensure it maintains its high standards. Rooms on the East side have morning sun and... More
