Hotel Riu Palace Tres Islas sits directly within the Corralejo Natural Park — not adjacent to it or near it, but on the actual protected dune landscape that the park designates. The beach, Grandes Playas (Corralejo Beach), is part of this protected zone, which means no further development can occur around the resort. The dunes, the views of Lobos Island, and the Lanzarote silhouette across the strait are a permanent feature of the setting rather than a feature at risk from neighboring construction.
The Piano Bar runs live piano music most evenings. This is a specific, named amenity that distinguishes the property from the DJ-and-animation format common to most all-inclusives. The combination of a natural park setting and a piano bar positions the property at a quieter, more settled end of the Riu spectrum — which also means it's less suited to guests expecting a party atmosphere.
Sparkling wine at breakfast is mentioned across guest reviews consistently enough to treat it as an actual program rather than an occasional event. This is a Palace-tier inclusion detail that most 4-star all-inclusives don't offer.
The property has 372 rooms with some interiors described in reviews as showing age — no specific renovation date is available. The main buffet is among the most consistently praised aspects, with themed dinners twice weekly and a diverse international selection. Krystal fusion handles the specialty dinner slot and requires reservations. Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is 29–43km away depending on route, a 36–40 minute drive.
