Mixed experience. Good: Friendly and efficient staff, excellent location of the hotel, great dinner, free parking (at least in the low season) Bad: Pools are cold (not heated at all?); mediocre breakfast; noisy evening entertainment. Tip: If you are having a room on the pool side, ask for a higher floor, there are much better views of the ocean

RIU hotel

Fantastic staff and helpful. We booked room facing pool area, which I recommend. Service level up to 5 stars everywhere. Beds are great but in 2 parts. I prefer 1. Bathroom great big shower. 3 pools and one fantastic with view to the beach and only 50 meters from the beach. Fantastic food. Something for everyone. Fantastic Friday party ❤️ ❤️

6/10 Good

We were fortunate to be able to find a room when arriving a day earlier than planned. The property is lovely outdoors, very friendly staff in the restaurant. They were shocked for a last minute booking so it was a slower check in. We didn’t arrive on the best day, a strike for hotel employees was creating havoc. We didn’t have great meal experiences. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and no wine available. The room was very tired with minimal amenities, uncomfortable bed and pillows. The pool was closed at 6.

The only slight let down during the week we stayed was only one lift out of two working. Apart from that everything else was perfect. We look forward to returning.

6/10 Good

This was our second time staying at this hotel. The number one issues that we had was parking. Last year when we stayed there was ample parking. This year for whatever reason they decided to implement 9€ parking fee for a section of the parking area inconveniencing guest who have mobility issues and not to mention the set up took away 4 spots! If parking is an issue for staff and hotel guest the staff should be shuttled, thus creating room for paying guest. Additionally the hotel should provide a tag for guests who have cars to be able to get in and out of the parking.

€250 euros for a 2 night bed breakfast and evening meal. Breakfast was good enough, bed was comfy, dinner was satisfactory. What more can you ask for. Good price, clean, friendly, comfy bed, nice food.

Good service and facilities with great location

The hotel is in a great location, a short distance from El Duque Sur and only a 20 minute walk to La Caleta. It is spotlessly clean with very service and facilities. We stayed half board and whilst the breakfast offered a great choice and catered for all tastes, the buffet-style evening meal was very disappointing, as was the meal in the Spanish restaurant. If it was available, we would choose to stay bed and breakfast. All-in-all, a very good hotel that we have re-booked for next year.

8/10 Very good

Lovely place and the beach club shared with the Riu Palace was nice. My gripes were that I’d booked on the strength of gym reviews - the gym is pretty poor in terms of equipment and had lots of machines out of order; I also think it is pretty shocking to charge for rental of the safe in the room.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely hotel in a very nice place. The only downside is the large number of steps to access the beach and boardwalk- it may not suit senior citizens, it was a bit of a struggle for my eighty year old father. We bought some really nice local wine, but the hotel would not let us drink it anywhere except our room, even when we offered to pay a corkage fee.

Relaxing break

The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely furnished. There is a large bathroom with a good shower. Negative is that shower gel and shampoo are sachets which are dealt out daily and not enough for two showers a day which most people have after sunbathing and swimming. Food is buffet style and on the whole very good. The Spanish restaurant is very good and we had a nice evening dining there. Staff are v helpful and very much in evidence. Pools are spotless and loungers v clean and in good condition. Evening entertainment was good and the drinks are very generous measures!!

4/10 Fair

Needs a refurbish!

Hotel is dated, rooms are old, paint on walls is chipped. Lobby staff was quite dismissive at times. I would not stay at this hotel again as the area has other far better choices for similar price. Lobby staff were cold and unbothered...some might say rude.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Terrible experience

There is on-going construction on an aqueduct adjacent to the hotel, so my 0800 wake up call was heavy machine punching through concrete. The hotel's response when I approached them on the matter was "It is on our website." They did move us to a better room but Tenerife is just so amazing I would not waste my time here again ever. The food was average at best as well. The European Expedia gave the facility poor reviews as well. I wish I had known that before booking.
