Riu Waikiki Hotel

I've been to Gran Canaria twice and stayed in Riu Waikiki both times. I absolutely loved it! The hotel is walking distance from anything and everything. The meals were fabulous with tons of selection. We had the same waiter every evening who by the middle of the week knew... more

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Waikiki for 7 nights from 17th November, and we can firmly say that this is one of the worst hotels we have stayed in. On arrival we were greeted by 5 towers which were not brilliant white as portrayed in the Thomas Cook brochure - all... more

Enjoyed the holiday but as per other comments the hotel is geared towards Germans. Despite the no towels on sunbeds notice it still happened and when we mentioned it was told nothing could be done about it. Food was very repetitive although fresh. Breakfasts were not very... more

We are a group of 7 adults 1 teenager and a 2&3 year old: We went with Thomas Cook, I’ve always been with 1st choice, I would not go with Thomas Cook again, we only saw our rep once and barely turned up when supposed to. The trips weren’t up to much either; give me 1st... more

Stayed from the 25th June till 9th July overall was impressed with the hotel. There was a lot of Germans as per previous reviews, on the whole though they didn’t bother us - although they did tend to stare at my girlfriend at night when she wore a skirt, which could be... more

A great winter holiday. The food was fantastic and there was loads to choose from. Came home half a stone heavier after just a week! Rooms were cleaned every day and an excellent service provided. Entertainment every night, although it got a little boring after a few... more

Agree with everyone only good if you are German.

The hotel was very nice but you could not stay there all day.
The TV only had one English Channel the rest were surprisingly German!
Would never go back there again.

What can I say; this hotel is great as long as you are German. Don’t book this hotel if you are easy offended, because they have not changed at all, totally ignorant in every way. The hotel isn’t to bad overall, the room was cleaned every day, the entertainment was very... more

Well on the whole this is a lovely hotel although anyone staying here should be aware of a few things don’t go with Direct you only see the rep when you arrive and she really does not give a stuff. The hotel says it has air conditioning which it does not well not at any... more

Just returned from a week at the Riu Waikiki. Very pleasantly surprised. The room was fairly spacious, 3 of us sharing, and very clean. Nice view of mountains, pool and sea from our small balcony. Food was fantastic. Loads of it, very fresh. Drink and snacks on tap all... more
