Meanwhile, Riu Hotels have decided to put up for sale via a "time share" system 54 of the 639 rooms of the future Club-Hotel Riu
Gran Canaria, that will open its doors on that island in the summer of 2000. The Club Hotel Riu Gran Canaria, a 4 star hotel,
represents an investment of 10,000 million pesetas, the greatest in the history of the chain. The ClubHotel product combines
traditional hotel comfort with wide spaces and a varied sports and entertainments offer, characteristic of holiday clubs. At present
RIU has 6 club-hotels (2 in Mallorca, 1 in Formentera, 2 in República Dominicana and 1 in México) and is preparing the construction
of two more: 1 in Gran Canaria and another in Cádiz.
