Riu Gran Canaria has reopened its doors following a full refurbishment.
The 4-star, 24-hour all-Inclusive hotel is now equipped with new facilities, restaurants, bars and services and a range of entertainment options via the famous RIU Party events.
These colourful parties will be held for the first time in Gran Canaria at the end of the year.
The refurbishments incorporate improvements in energy efficiency, waste management and reduction and water consumption.
The hotel now consumes electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels installed on the entire roof of the hotel, and any electricity consumed from the grid will be certified renewable energy, a measure that will considerably reduce CO2 emissions.
Improvements to optimise and reduce water consumption have also been put in place.
The hotel Riu Gran Canaria has 639 rooms and a modern design, with the simple lines that are a common feature in the Majorcan hotel chain’s refurbs.
All bedrooms have been refurbished and upgraded, and the biggest changes can be found in the hotel’s common areas.
The lobby has been remodelled to create a larger reception area and let more light in, with huge skylights in the ceiling that make guests feel like they are inside a botanical garden.
The main restaurant “Las Dunas” has undergone a complete makeover.
In addition to a completely fresh design and layout, new terraces have been created in the garden so that customers feel a true connection with the outdoors.
The swimming pool restaurant “Atlántico” and the Asian restaurant “Kaori” are still in service, and the grill restaurant “Pepe’s Food” has been relocated.
The gourmet restaurant “Kulinarium” and the Italian restaurant “Amore Mio” are two new options that have been added to the hotel’s existing selection.
The hotel now has a new Sports Bar next to the “Moka” café-bar in the bar area, as well as the spectacular “Tivoli” Lounge Bar in the garden.
There is also a stage for the RIU Get Together Party events that will be held every Friday from the end of November, the pool bar “Liquid”, the chill-out bar “Sunset” and the terrace bar “Cocktail”.
The outdoor area boasts a new swimming pool, which will host entertainment and sports activities.
This brings the total number of pools to seven, including the impressive infinity pool on the seafront promenade.
In addition, the Riu Gran Canaria has a RIU Art and RIU Land area, as well as an extensive daytime and evening entertainment programme for the whole family.
