The hotel chain RIU is re-opening four more properties on the Canary Islands in time for Christmas.
They include Riu Palace Jandia, Fuerteventura, which will open on 5 December and which has been upgraded to a five-star category, with fully renovated rooms; a new themed restaurant, Krystal, serving fusion cuisine; a new outdoor terrace and room on the sun deck for 100 more loungers.
The all-inclusive Riu Vistamar hotel, located in Amadores, has already opened.
It will be followed by the adult-only Riu Arecas in Tenerife on 11 December and the chain’s five-star hotel in Gran Canaria, Riu Palace Meloneras, which will welcome customers from 19 December.
This Christmas, with these four hotels, RIU’s guests will have the choice of 11 hotels of the 17 the chain has in the Canary Islands.
