RIU Palace Oasis

"We stayed here at the beginning of August and were welcomed by very friendly and helpful reception staff. The room we were given was beautiful, clean and tidy, with a very good overall standard. We had booked half board, which included both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, with a huge selection and pretty much everything you could wish for. The same was true for dinner. Every day there was a great variety of pasta, meat, fish and vegetarian dishes, as well as a fantastic dessert buffet. The hotel has several restaurants to choose from, two of which need to be booked in advance. There are also three pool areas to choose from, and thankfully we never experienced any stress or competition when it came to finding a sunbed. The location is also excellent. The beach is just a stone’s throw away and can be reached directly through a private hotel exit. Along the beachfront, just outside the hotel, you’ll find plenty of lovely restaurants and a shopping area. This makes it very easy to pick up food, drinks or other refreshments before heading to the beach. The only thing that was slightly disappointing for us was the gym. It is probably perfectly fine for guests who mainly want to run or do cardio, but unfortunately, the equipment available for strength training is quite limited. This is definitely an area where we feel the hotel has room for improvement. Another option could be for the hotel to arrange a partnership with a local gym for its guests. For anyone looking for a proper strength-training gym nearby, we can highly recommend Titan Gym. However, this is only a small issue compared with our overall experience. All in all, we had a fantastic stay. The hotel, the food, the location and, not least, the friendly staff made our holiday truly enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Our 5-night stay at the Riu Oasis Meloneras was outstanding. We booked breakfast and dinner, and the €55 airport taxi took around 30 minutes. First impressions were exceptional—an immaculate hotel with a warm, efficient welcome from Silvia at reception. We were delighted to receive a complimentary private pool room upgrade and were even offered food despite arriving at 11pm. The hotel was spotless throughout, with excellent food choices, lovely outdoor dining, no sunbed rush, regular towel changes, spacious rooms, and outstanding housekeeping. Every member of staff was friendly and welcoming, making us feel genuinely valued. With a café, bar, and the beach just a 1–2 minute walk away, the location is perfect. We genuinely couldn't fault our stay and would highly recommend this hotel. A special thank you to Silvia for making our arrival so memorable—we will definitely be back."

"Hotel, location, Cleanliness, Staff, Gym, Pools, etc. were all incredible and amazing! We felt super comfortable as a family of 4. However 2 things need to be adressed: - Breakfast is okay. After 09:00 it gets super busy and a bit chaotic. - Availabilty of Parking Spots. There are 20-30 parking spots available (accessable with Hotel keycard) onsite. But during high season expect parking your car outside of the hotel area, because simply NONE are available. Took us last night 30 minutes to find a parking spot in Melonares, which is not acceptable in my opinion for 5 star hotel. Hotel staff could not help us either. Beside the two points menitoned above we have had a great stay, enjoyed the pools and the nearby beach, which especially the kids liked."
