We have stayed at Riu Papaya for 1 week during Christmas time. This is a great hotel to spend vacation in family, the average age was above 60. Very clean, quiet rooms and food reasonable: great variety for all 3 meals, drinks Ok, especially cocktails, spirits cheap but this is the same in all Riu hotels in Spain. The Christmas celebration dinner was excellent, beyond expectations. Staff very helpful and friendly and services great. Beach is only 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel and there is shuttle bus almost every 30 minutes. Good rapport quality/ price. Majority of the customers are German and Dutch and the TV channels are accordingly.
Nothing to complain about.

Comfortable beds for all three members of our group, a great variety of foods, and option for cold breakfast any time of the morning upon request, not too cold water in the big pool, walking distance to the beach, friendly and helpful staff 24/7.
Inability to pay the hotel by Wise Visa Debit card (had to withdraw money in several instalments [due to limit of the ATM] at an approx 1% fee), nighttime noise from the corridor, animator team members at times having a bit too much fun with each other when they were supposed to engage with guests (eg mini disco), smoking policy (designated/permitted areas too close to our liking, eg behind the first few rows of seats at the stage), varying quality of evening entertainment.

Clean, spacious, great pools and entertainment. Very kid friendly (food options and entertainment). Personally would have preferred more Spanish cuisine and flavors.
We booked the suite (2 bedrooms), but the bathroom had a milk glass wall adjacent to the second bedroom. So with the bathroom light on, other people in the room could see you shower. Not convenient with small kids because the light shines through to the other room. We had to brush our teeth in the dark to prevent our kid from waking up due to the light. Not a big issue to us, but an inconvenience.

Food was awesome, I enjoyed everything I ate, fresh fruit, nice seafood, meat, ice cream, desserts. It was really good. Animators were really helpful, I would not dance without them) Alcohol was not bad)
The walls are crookedly plastered, here and there dirty. I prefer white towels to brown ones. there is no sound insulation and light insulation. In the gym it would be great to have a pole and a horizontal bar, but that's if to be nitpicky. It would also be nice to have a hair conditioner. If the bed is double, it is necessary to make it so that there are not two shifted mattresses, but one.

The All inclusive also includes genuine alcoholic drinks, not only local brands. There are coffee machines and soft drinks machines on key locations.
Too strict management of what is allowed when, like no ice cream before noon. Turning off draft and soft drinks machines after opening hours of the restaurant. The beach is a kilometer away, down the winding hill, so only really accessible via the shuttle, which was too full on occasions. The sand on the beach is actually black vulcanic sand, with some nice sand on top..

I loved the attentiveness of all staff. They were kind helpful and thoughtful. I would recommend every staff gets a raise they really all represented the hotel beautifully. Nothing was too much trouble for Maria who went the extra mile for us, when we only asked for a towel change she went on and tidied the room. The facilities were clean and santised We can’t wait to be back and stay for longer. Thank you to all the staff, we are very grateful for your hospitality ❤️
Nothing really if I was being picky I would say please provide irons for guest to iron their clothes particularly as the hotel puts on epic parties. We need to look sharp equally. But overal my stay was comfortable and leisurely

Everything about the place - staff, food & drink, facilities, entertainment, location - was fabulous. Everyone worked so hard to provide an exceptional experience - nothing was too much bother. 24/7 all inclusive meant exactly that. And to cap it all, the hotel is just a 3 minute walk from the airport bus that charges just 3.50 Eur pp each way. Will definitely return.
Not the hotel’s fault but if you intend to spend time on the beach ensure you use the free hotel bus service. Otherwise you’ll have a long and steep multi-step climb down to the beach. And then up again to return.

* for the first time booked all inclusive hotel it seems all no need to worry what we would eat and drinks as all unlimited for our 12 days vacation. * Big swimming pool with a lot of sun-beds even many people very early in the morning putting their towels already. * Pity that they don’t give us staying 2 more nights as we already stay 11 nights … fully booked as at when we checked out plenty rooms are available but very happy as we booked another RIU Palace ( more expensive RIU Palmares and it turn a lot better ( food more tasty, location 5 minutes walk to the beach, the garden just like in Asia, more quite en relaxing, 2 big swimming pool and 1 children pool… everything we like it so much ). * the bed is very comfortable.
* the room is noisy as we can hear people talk in the corridor, or even flashing the toilet, we can hear almost everything in the room.

Great facilities, food and drinks good. Clean and comfortable
The female security guard on the gate was really rude to us when we checked in. I showed her our reservation to go inside. Someone on reception told us that as we were early we could go by the pool and offered us a towel. We popped out for a walk and back in and when we returned to the pool she shouted at us across the pool and insisted that we go back to reception. She had already seen our reservation. It was really embarrassing and the worst welcome I have ever had at a hotel. she would not listen and was very abrupt. someone at reception should have taken control and apologised. The security guard needs sone customer service training

Good beds, good size’ed rooms. Refrigerator in the room and tea, coffee in the rom. Free water with or without gas. Very good cleaning staff. Most employers were polite and friendly, some one in te restaurants was a little 😒
For this kind of hotell the entertainment was really bad, so boring and when it was singer. They miss used the original songs. acrobatic shows was super boring 😴
