Hotel Riu Palace Madeira

An introduction to Hotel Riu Palace Madeira

From the moment you clap eyes on the Riu Palace, you'll know you've made the perfect choice. Looking out over the sapphire-blue waters, it sits like a fairytale castle - with its grand archways and cone-shaped, terracotta turrets. And the grounds, sprinkled with swishing palm trees and bright-coloured flowers, can't fail to charm you, either. Take a stroll around and you'll come across the two large swimming pools, flanked by sun loungers and parasols. Grab a complimentary towel, recline back, soak up the outstanding ocean views - and get set for some serious relaxation. Step inside the hotel and you're greeted by another equally elegant scene. The lobby is a showpiece in itself, with polished floors and comfy high-backed chairs. Then there's the elegant restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling windows and beautifully laid tables. And then there's your stylish room, delightfully decorated with smart furnishings. It's not just good looks that score so highly with guests here, though. In keeping with the hallmarks you'd expect from a prestigious Riu Palace hotel, you'll find a first-class service awaits. Friendly, discreet and personal, the staff will go out of their way here to make sure your holiday goes exactly the way you want it. And there are also some top-notch activities on offer. Go for the burn in the fitness centre. Have a game of tennis on the floodlit court. Or escape from the heat and take a dip in the luxurious indoor pool with breathtaking views over the sea. However you spend your time here – you'll go home refreshed, revived and most definitely dying to come back again.

Have just come back from a weeks holiday at the Rui. Wonderful staff and even the cleaners and the pool attendants were always smiling, the food was plentiful and plenty of choice, anyone who said they couldnt find something to eat were really fussy... more on this review
