    The best hotel I've stayed at. The day after we got home, we booked to return!

    rating22 Apr 2026

    This was the best experience I've had abroad, so much so that as soon as we landed we booked to come back in 2026.We got there very, very late. We were greeted by a receptionist who was polite, helpful and gave us a welcome drink. The check in was quick and easy, and he said there was still dinner available if we wanted it (at the very least we should go in and get a bottle of water). We actually weren't hungry and had bottles of water with us already. It was too dark out to see anything and when we were directed to a room which was downstairs (floor 0 with reception and dining areas on floor 1) we were a little worried. But we loved the room, it was huge, clean, and had a perfect terrace.We were half board so just had breakfast and dinner included.Breakfast - plenty of quality food available and it is a buffet so help yourself.Lunch - they served lunch and it was reasonably priced. We had lunch a couple of times but more often than not we didn't feel the need to have it.Dinner - was always great. We are both vegetarian and there was always at least 6 options specifically for us, as well as the salad, and a number of other things available (pizza, potato dishes and other things).Every evening there was entertainment and the bar staff were fantastic.We loved the quite atmosphere around the pool (I can see a few people have complained that it is not for those under 50). We're 36 and 38 and honestly it was perfect for what we wanted. We wanted somewhere we could come and relax, read a few books, take a dip in the pool, talk to some other guests (there was a mixture of English, Scottish, German, and possibly other nationalities). All of the staff were polite, waiters/waitresses, cleaners, chefs, barstaff and even the maintenance staff (I would often be down at 7.55am for a quick chat with the maintenance man before I went for a morning swim) There are lots of sunbeds around the 2 pools - with plenty in the sun and some in shaded areas too - and there wasn't a mad dash for them in the morning.There was a shop just at the end of the driveway so we walked up there for drinks and supplies whilst we were there.A short walk (down quite a few steps) takes you to the beach and a nice walk. There is a shopping centre and a few restaurants and bars down there too.Overall, this is the best holiday I've ever had. As I say we booked up for 2026 as soon as we got home.

    Breakfast today disappointing

    rating20 Apr 2026

    Exceptionally long wait for breakfast service . Finally table cleared from previous occupants . Upon finishing the first course ( buffet breakfast ) returning with another plate the table was not cleared , ok , so we popped the plates out of the way on another table. The headmistress came and chastised my wife for that action !!! Disappointing we have used RIU previously and hope this is a one off , nevertheless dropped a star rating on this basis.

    We Will Return for a 4th visit.

    rating15 Apr 2026

    This is our 3rd visit to this hotel and I have to say it’s still perfect for us. Our room and the rest of the hotel is spotless. We really enjoy our breakfast and evening meal, there’s lots to choose from can’t imagine anyone would go hungry. All the pools are extremely clean and the surrounding areas and it’s easy to get a lounger. The staff are really friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Download the Riu app as it’s really handy for requesting extra pillows, hangers etc.

    Disappointing……

    rating30 Mar 2026

    Second visit to this hotel and sadly we won’t rush back as standards have considerately declined.The hotel is in need of a full renovation, furniture in our room was tired, stained, scratched with the drawers unstable.Cleaning staff woke us every day, early mornings so no chance of a lie in on holiday!To be fair our room was cleaned to a fashion daily.We paid for half board and found the food to be tepid as it’s cooked in the back kitchen and doesn’t retain its temperature. Quality of meals very disappointing being served cooked carrots and green beans for breakfast is not what most people would expect of a 4 star hotel.When we spoke to local bars they advised us they were busy with hotel guests eating there as the hotel had been bought out by a German company who were cutting corners to save money!Queues to enter the buffet style restaurant were large and the other restaurant at the hotel was closed during our visit hence we ate out.The lower infinity pool bar was closed for most of our stay potentially as the weather was hit and miss, however the sun loungers are stained, worn and uncomfortable. I mentioned the food quality at reception and the blonde lady shrugged her shoulders! Entertainment was as mentioned in previous reviews tailored to over 70s Overall a very poor experience Online Reputation Management, Owner at Hotel Riu Arecas, responded to this review Dear Charlotte,Thanks for your feedback. We're very sorry your visit wasn't to your liking. In order to fulfil every guest expectations regarding food, our main buffet and restaurants offer a great selection of exquisitely presented local and international dishes which are prepared daily with the utmost care and using fresh ingredients. We regret that we failed to live up to your expectations and we can assure that we do check daily our food offer, combining quality and variety catering for all tastes. Certainly, we will share your opinion for further consideration.However, we regret that our facilities did not meet your expectations. Please be aware that we are constantly working on renovating our properties and that your comments will be taken into account in this process.We place great importance in providing our guests with unforgettable experiences and it is disappointing to see that you left our hotel thinking otherwise. We appreciate our guests’ comments since they help us improve our services, and for this reason, your impressions will be shared with the relevant department.We hope to surprise you positively on your next stay.Sincerely, Hotel Riu ArecasOnline Reputation Management

    Lovely hotel.

    rating13 Mar 2026

    Lovely hotel in a quiet area of Adeje. A bit more upmarket than other areas. It was exceptionally clean and the grounds meticulously kept. The food was delicious if not on the cool side sometimes. Lots of choice. The entertainment was great. Not many bars locally but Fanabe isn’t far to walk too. Our room was garden facing. We would have preferred a pool view but none available at time of booking. Room well equipped and shower powerful. We had the bonus of a side seat view. Higher floor rooms recommended we were floor 3 and this was fine. Pool area lovely. Reception staff extremely friendly and helpful. We would holiday here again for sure. Shame the weather wasn’t the best.
