Hotel Riu Vistamar All Inclusive Puerto Rico
Hotel Riu Vistamar gives you a strong base in Puerto Rico, combining the hotel facilities with the wider Gran Canaria resort. Hotel Riu Vistamar occupies a clifftop position above the southwest coast. The hotel’s sea-view room categories are a major selling point, and the current RIU programme includes 24-hour all inclusive, two outdoor pools, children’s facilities, RIU Land, a gym and live entertainment. A free shuttle runs to the beach, useful because the hotel is high above sea level.

Hotel & Resort Guide
Hotel Riu Vistamar occupies a clifftop position above the southwest coast. The hotel’s sea-view room categories are a major selling point, and the current RIU programme includes 24-hour all inclusive, two outdoor pools, children’s facilities, RIU Land, a gym and live entertainment. A free shuttle runs to the beach, useful because the hotel is high above sea level.
Puerto Rico is one of Gran Canaria’s established family resorts, built around a sheltered beach and marina with shopping centres, restaurants, bars and boat trips. The hillsides mean many hotels enjoy wide ocean views but can involve steep roads.
This page looks beyond the hotel gates as well as at the facilities inside. That means beach access, resort atmosphere, family attractions, restaurants, evening options and realistic transfer time all form part of the guide.
Pools, Restaurants & Hotel Facilities
Rooms: Sea-view room categories. Pools: 2 outdoor pools + kids area. Dining: Buffet & themed dining • bars.
The programme includes daytime activities, RIU Party themed events, live shows and evening entertainment.
Facilities and individual restaurant or bar opening arrangements can change by season and board basis, so check the booking provider's current hotel description before you travel.
What Is It Like for Families?
RIU Land, children’s facilities and a free beach shuttle help offset the hillside position for families.
Families have beach time, boat trips, mini-golf, shopping and easy access to nearby Amadores. The marina is a major base for dolphin-watching and coastal excursions.
What Is It Like for Couples?
The elevated position gives panoramic ocean views, while Amadores and Puerto Rico provide two different beach-and-evening options nearby.
Puerto Rico has more evening life than Amadores while still feeling relaxed. Couples can walk to Amadores, dine around the marina or head to Puerto de Mogán for a quieter evening.
Entertainment, Activities & Things to Do at the Hotel
The programme includes daytime activities, RIU Party themed events, live shows and evening entertainment.
Programme details vary through the year, but this is the kind of hotel where it is worth checking the current animation timetable after arrival. Pool activities, sports, children’s sessions, mini-discos, live music or evening shows may run on selected days rather than every day.
Step Outside: What Is Puerto Rico Like?
Puerto Rico is one of Gran Canaria’s established family resorts, built around a sheltered beach and marina with shopping centres, restaurants, bars and boat trips. The hillsides mean many hotels enjoy wide ocean views but can involve steep roads.
Gran Canaria’s south is easy to explore by taxi, local bus or hire car, so you do not have to stay in the same resort for the whole holiday.
