Take one look at the ClubHotel Riu Gran Canaria and you'll see why it made our Platinum Collection. For starters, it's set on a shelf of land right next to the sea, so the whole place offers up infinity views of the deep blue. Then there are the outdoor areas to consider. The hotel's grounds stretch out for 30,000 square metres � the sculpted gardens are especially nice to wander through. You'll also find sports courts, as well as three huge swimming pools. The hotel itself is a grand white building. The rooms have regency-style armchairs, royal blue carpets and carved wooden bedheads. Don't be fooled by their Edwardian appearance, though � they come with all the mod cons, like air-conditioning and satellite TV. At mealtimes, you can take your pick from three restaurants. The main buffet restaurant features international dishes, like pizza, fish and roast meat. Roque Nublo serves Canarian food, including Spanish-style chicken and potatoes, while Las Brisas specialises in Mexican and Asian cuisine, and comes highly recommended on TripAdvisor. When you want to get out and about, you can walk to Meloneras in just 15 minutes. Alternatively, a 20-minute stroll will take you to the famous sand dunes in Maspalomas.
