The outdoor amenities were so well designed lots of people were taking pictures. The resort boosted 5 pools all over the complex, lots of outdoor bars. The drinks were reasonably priced, service was however very very lacking and unfriendly. The staff does need extra customer service training. Overall I would definitely come back.

Utterly fantastic. I couldn't fault this hotel and if you're thinking of going, go, that's all…read more If you're hesitating, here's why it rules: Location: If you are staying in Maspalomas, I think this hotel has the best location in the whole area. It is in first line to the beach, and right next to the mesmerizing sand dunes of Maspalomas. So you waste no time getting to the beach and back, and you can either get a beautiful spot right under the dunes, or even just rest in the stunning hotel palm gardens and then quickly run from them to the sea and back. The promenade with more nightlife is a short walk away. All inclusive: The level of the cuisine was consistently very high for every meal during the day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets were fantastically rich, so you could always try something new without them getting repetitive. Most importantly, the food was always prepared to a high standard. The cuisine is a good mixture of Western and Mediterranean style cuisine, with plenty of good cuts of meat, seafood and vegetarian options available. Twice a week there is a theme night for dinner - we particularly enjoyed the one focusing solely on Canarian cuisine. Aside from the main meal times (which stretch for quite long, so you're not harshly restricted by them: breakfast 8-10.30, lunch 10-15.30, dinner either at 18:30 or 20:3024/7), there is always a variety of snacks/fruit etc available, so you could eat 24/7 if you wanted to. All inclusive includes both soft and hard alcohol and cocktails, and unlike some places, they are not skimpy on basic needs like water either, so you can just stock your room fridge with big bottles to take to the beach. Stunning premises: Riu Oasis - the hotel lives up to its name. It's a massive oasis of palm trees and beautifully sculpted palm gardens which give your entire holiday a very relaxing feel. You never have to be squeezed among a mass of tourists stuck together like sardines. The sunbeds and parasols and pleasantly scattered all around the gardens, so you simply find a tree you like to rest under, and enjoy your privacy and the feeling of intimacy. Rooms: are nice and comfy, with an included fridge, safety locker, and massive wardrobe space. It's especially nice to have a room facing the garden on the ground floor - there you have a front porch your own parasol and sunbeds right in front of your door to lounge on. Amenities: There is a small outdoor gym (a few cardio machines, couple of benches, lat pulldown machine, basic set of dumbbells up to 10 kg), an outdoor Jacuzzi, an indoor Jacuzzi and a sauna. Massages and hairdressing are available for extra charge. The pool is very nice for actual lap swimming - it doesn't have too much of an odd shape as it's popular these days, so you can keep track. You can get beach towels every day, and on the day when you check out, you will get spare towels and a spare room for half an hour if you need a later shower. There are two bars in the gardens, a playground for children, and many indoors entertainment areas. All staff is always very polite and helpful, and there's always someone speaking excellent English at least at the reception. Entertainment: the evening program was quite nice - nothing too tacky, usually just some pleasant singers. Definitely bearable for some starter drinks if you then want to head out ofr more fun into town. There seemed to be quite a lot of daily entertainment for children (but tucked away in a different part of gardens, so if that's what you worry about - you can easily spend a holiday here without running into many). Cons: there are not many, but two minor points - wifi in room is for extra charge, the free one in the lobby is quite slow. And on some evenings, you can book an a la carte dinner at the separate smaller international fusion restaurant instead of the buffet. While it's advertised as very high dining, I'd say that it wasn't of much higher quality than the buffet meals (which are nonetheless great) - it was just more beautifully arranged. So I'd just go there if I wanted the more intimate atmosphere, but otherwise preferred the main area.

I loved this Hotel! We payed £140 pound for 4 nights which we thought was a bargain! We turned up…read moreand was greeted by the lovely Antonio on reception, lovely guy. We was allocated a room on the 4th floor by the middle lift but you could not hear any noise but it was useful for getting straight down to the pool in the mornings. The apartments are ok. They are very basic and could do with a make over but it has everything you need to be honest, the only thing we could have done with is air con but if you leave your balcony door open you do get a breeze through the whole apartment. The pool was great and you didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get a Sunbed, We had lunch by the pool one day which was nice as well. We met some lovely people at this hotel and everyone who works here seem to love their job, everyone is really friendly and we are booking to come again for next year!

What can I say... wow wow wow! What a lovely hotel. I must have gotten a sales rate cause it really…read moredidn't cost a lot. I stayed here just for the night dying to get out of the Las Palmas and into the desert. The location is beautiful with views of the famous sand dunes from the hotel. They have 2 pools. and one of the pool have those spa pressure hose/pump thingy. Super cool! The pool were lovely, the deck chairs nicely spaced so I didn't feel crowded. The rooms were lovely with a nice private balcony. The hotel grounds were beautiful as well as the hotel itself. And greeted with champaign while waiting to be checked in. It really is a spectacular hotel. The staff are ultra friendly. Since Gran Canarians are known if their rudeness basically making London seem like great customer service, so I always have to know when I receive customer service. Every one who worked there said "hola" to me. Even the lady who cleans rooms. I had to look around... was she talking to me? People on this island don't say hola to me. he he. We opted in for the all inclusive. the food was good, not excellent but good. It seems to be geared more to the German pallet. But maybe not having excellent food meant that I only went up to the buffet 3 times rather than 10. Bonus! I will definitely be making a return here when I need to get away! I feel that 1 day wasn't enough! ========== google translate ================= ¿Qué puedo decir ... wow wow wow! Es un hotel adorable. Debo haber conseguido un precio de ventas porque es realmente no cuesta mucho. Me alojé aquí sólo por la noche se muere por salir de la de Las Palmas y en el desierto. La ubicación es preciosa, con vistas a las famosas dunas de arena del hotel. Tienen 2 piscinas. y uno de la piscina tienen aquellos manguera de presión spa / bomba cosita. Super cool! La piscina era encantador, las sillas de cubierta bien espaciadas, así que no te sientes apretado. Las habitaciones eran preciosas, con un bonito balcón privado. Los jardines del hotel eran hermosos, así como el hotel en sí. Y nos recibieron con champaña a la espera de ser revisado pulg Realmente es un hotel espectacular. El personal es súper amable. Desde Gran Canarios se sabe si su mala educación, básicamente, lo que Londres parece un gran servicio al cliente, así que siempre hay que saber cuando recibo el servicio al cliente. Todos los que trabajaban allí dijo "hola" a mí. Incluso la señora que limpia las habitaciones. Tuve que mirar a su alrededor ... estaba hablando a mí? La gente en esta isla no dicen hola a mí. he he. Optamos por el todo incluido. la comida era buena, no excelente, pero bueno. Parece que está más orientado a la plataforma alemana. Pero a lo mejor no tener una excelente comida significaba que sólo fui al buffet 3 veces en lugar de 10. Bonus! Definitivamente voy a estar haciendo un regreso aquí cuando necesito escapar! Siento que 1 día no fue suficiente!

We also stayed at Bohemia last year, and decided to give it a try again. This year we booked a…read moreJunior suite with ocean view. Unfortunately their booking engine is setup as default to one person, so we made a mistake only make a booking for one person. Upon check in the staff forced us to pay another €817 extra for the extra person. I accept we should have checked it better but i also feel that bohemia's booking engine is faulty. And €817 extra charge for only 7 night's it not fair. We spoke to the Front desk manager and they are all very polite but by the end of the day, they think a lot about money and wont admit their fail and give us a proper refund. There are also other downsides of that hotel everyone should consider: - The restaurant is very crowded during breakfast. If you like to eat around 9:00 am the restaurant is almost full. The problem is that you can only ordering eggs and coffee to the staff and, they are very busy during that period so you have to wait a lot for you orders to come. (The staff is friendly, but it's understaffed, i guess its the management thinking money again). - Everything is very expensive. The poolbar, food, drinks etc is way overpriced. - It's not at all close to the beach as they claim in many brochures. - The room is very small, but the bed is comfy. - There is no coffee maker in the std. rooms but in the junior suite there is a espresso maker. Just sad for those who enjoy normal coffee or thea. - No Hairdryer, amenity kit or stuff like that. - The rooms are very small, the std rooms are much smaller then standard room in other hotels. We booked a junior suite this time, and the size is the same as std room's in other hotels. - They have a fancy in room entertainment system running on mac hardware. If you like to attach your own equipment through a HDMI cable just forget it. - There is almost no extraction in the toilet. That means the entire room is smelly long time after someone visited the toilet. - They claim to have a heated pool. If that pool is heated i don't wanna try the unheated pool. They also have a little pool beside the big pool a kind of a "hot tub". I think they should rename it "Ice tub" since it was so ice cold. - The spa are's is great, but again it's so cold. We visited in the winter period, and i can only conclude that they don't heat up the spa area. It was also clear that no one really used it, so DON'T stay here only for the spa you will get disappointed. It's obvious that is the management need to save money again, so they could get a bigger revenue. - No Nordic Tv-Channels, only the same german channels. I accept that DK is a small country but i think they have 40 german channels, they could give us from scandinavian just one channel. - The Wifi is fast and stable, that was the one positive think we had to say about this hotel. The only positive thing on this trip was the cleaning staff in our room. She was outstanding. But by the end of the day, my best advice is to stay away from this hotel unless you want to pay a big overpriced and get fooled by the staff.
