Riu Palace Calypso

Really enjoyed out recent stay at this fabulous Hotel from 29th August through to the 9th of September. Everything about the hotel was excellent from our spacious room the food and service at the restaurants would highly recommend.

Although this hotel had supposedly been refurbished we were allocated room 817. The room was pleasantly modern but there had obviously been an issue around the top of the skirting boards were there was filler. And paint that that was falling on the floor. We have stayed at this hotel previously the food standards were disappointing, too much salt in a lot of the meals and gravies. Meal choices were repetitive dry and over cooked. Fruit choices were very disappointing and limited. Bar /drink service around the pool area was very poor and slow. Overall the standard was poor in comparison to previous visits. Our Dutch friends were of the same opinion. Disappointed customer Leicester

We stayed at the Riu Palace Calypso Hotel from the 12th to 26th August 2026, we had a warm & friendly welcome at check in, greeted with a glass of Prosecco. We were allocated room 1015 which was spacious, very clean & comfortable with a lovely sea view. Positives: Buffet Restaurant, food quality was very good but can get repetitive, we were served by Annara always with a smile 😊 Hotel sat at the end of one of the best beaches in Fuerteventra 🏖️ Negatives: Guest smoking & vaping on balconies, people like us that are non smokers is unacceptable also when my husband suffers from asthma. Pool small for the size of the hotel also guest smoking & vaping around pool area, when there are designated area’s. Lifts - elevator very slow & always breaking down. Overall had a lovely quiet holiday definitely will return.

We have just returned after 6 nights and I can honestly say this is possibly the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Please ignore the negative comments, particularly about everything being geared towards the German guests. Yes there are more Germans than Brits, but if you want to be surrounded by Brits stay at home. We found the staff and other guests to be nothing but friendly and welcoming and didn’t feel the Germans were prioritised with the food choices or entertainment. If I were to list all the positives, this review would be far too long to read. Everything from the location, cleanliness, quality and choice of food, decor and service was impeccable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

We normally stay at the Riu Palace in Jandia, but as a late booking we stayed at the Calypso instead this time. Certainly pros and cons when trying to compare the hotels, but fair to say that the main attributes were once again cleanliness, food quality and overall comfort of the rooms. Not that keen on the pool area, but not a problem as you are literally 10 metres from the beautiful sands of Jandia beach. A lovely weeks holiday.
