I've just returned from Riu Palace Oasis (yesterday) and had to give my feedback straight away.
I don't think I can find anything bad to say about this resort. The rooms, restaurants, pool areas and most of all the staff, just all added up to make an excellent break.
The room was very nice, effective AC and a ceiling fan which was a nice addition when you don't want the AC. We were upgraded to a larger room which I was grateful for, I had booked a partial sea view and it was really great. Iron, ironing board, kettle, robes, all as standard.
Food was just excellent! The main buffet restaurant kept me happy for both breakfast and evening meals with great variety and choice I never felt at a loss to have find something enjoyable.
I noted for future reference for vegetarian family members that they do have a decent selection of veggie food that is kept seperately and so this avoids cross contamination which most reorts fail on massively.
The two a la carte restaurants offered a very good selection as well. I personally enjoyed the Krystal restaurant most although the cheesecake was very dense but both that and the Spanish offering were good.
Poolside the area was always clean, no shortage of sunbeds, clean towels on demand (with a towel card) but the guys were lovely. When it got really hot and the lower half of the lounger was burning hot they would offer additional towels to prevent your legs and feet from burning. Also thanked me and wished me well when I was leaving. Sometimes strict on the small inflatable ball games though but not so much when the pool was less busy. The pool time aerobics were fun.
Ordering poolside was great, again staff were nice, they offered a nice selection, the burger being really quite good, and the calamari was really well cooked but for some reason the chef would salt them which isn't right.
I loved the fact that you can walk through a private access onto the beach and adjacent shops and restaurant and walk all the way down to Faro, made life very easy and added to the flexibility.
I didn't use the gym or spa although I showered in the spa when leaving on check out day.
I must underline how brilliant the staff were, from reception to restaurants to pools and cleaners. I plan to return with my mother later in the year! And maybe once on a solo.
I didn't love the coffee, that's kind of all I have as a negative lol.
Go, have fun!!

This hotel really has the wow factor! Impressive entrance and even more impressive welcoming and service from the lovely reception staff.
We were upgraded to a room with a pool despite not asking for one! Rooms are spacious and modern - air con works a treat too.
The food choices at both breakfast and dinner were exceptional. Busy but well organised and always space to be seated. Freshly cooked omelettes and pancakes at breakfast and steaks and fish for dinner. The list is endless.
Location was perfect. Multiple exits out of the amazing hotel grounds, one of which takes you right onto the beach. You can rent a sunbed for about 3 or 4 euros for the day. Lots of shops and restaurants on the promenade and lovely walks along the beach.
Had a fabulous time. Thank you Hotel Riu Palace Oasis. It was a pleasure to stay with you!

The hotel is beautiful, with lovely gardens, spacious rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff were always friendly, professional, and willing to help. The food was delicious with plenty of variety, and the facilities were excellent. The location is perfect for a peaceful holiday while still being close to the beach. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back again. Thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All round very pleased with our visit. Large clean rooms, good sized bathrooms. Pool and facilities were great and the staff were on the whole pleasant and welcoming.
Dining despite the selection was ok, general quality of the food on offer was acceptable but a little bland. Less choice and more quality would be better.
The only other small gripe I had was that the beds were far too soft.
Otherwise, fantastic stay, we will definitely be our first choice when we return to the island.

Just back three days and would return tomorrow! The hotel was so well situated, a path through the garden on to the beach. But also quiet at the same time. If one wants a stroll to the shops or cafes and bars a ten minute walk away. One never heard noise from outside the grounds of the hotel which were spectacular! Staff were very helpful and housekeeping extremely good. The The food was excellent, if you didn't eat meat plenty of alternatives! I can't describe the desserts! Fantastic. A word about breakfast exceptional! Went with husband ,daughter and 10 year old granddaughter! Thankyou Rui Palace Oasis. Will be back.
