This is a lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Our room was a good size and kept extremely clean with great view of pool. The location was a little disappointing as we found it too quiet although if you walk along the promenade for about 15-20 mins you get to more lively part of Costa Adeje where there... more

this is a lovely hotel i loved it when i went last year and could't wait to go back, no faults for us what so ever, spotlessly clean, lovely pool area, enjoyed the food and the staff are really freindly not a lot of english people or kids more older couples. a relaxing holiday ! more

This was our 5th time here in as many years. We keep going back as it really is a very good hotel with very friendly staff. This time we thought there had been a few cut backs, may be due to the recession. The food was 8/10 rather than 9/10. The air conditioning was turned down so some nights were... more

Had a great holiday at the Arecas. This is a 4star hotel but seemed more like a 5star. The staff could could not do enough. They were alway polite and I felt they had a real love for the hotel. We had an interconecting room which was great. The food was excellant. A large selection at breakfast and food cooked... more

We had stayed at the Palace over the road in December, and were only at the Arecas as a "last resort" late holiday. However I can honestly say the Arecas is better than the Palace, in many ways. Most of the rooms seem to have reasonable outlooks, the higher the better, and you do not -as at the Palace- lok... more

I have no doubts when saying that Riu Arecas is an amazing hotel! Big, clean, great staff, nice pool areas, lovely evening entertainment. You should know that you can access the Riu Palace Hotel (5*), but in my opinion, you're better with Riu Arecas. You can only find the Spa at Riu Palace but...don't waste your time. it isn't worth... more

This was our first visit to the Riu Arecas and it certainly was no disappointment! After reading a previous review, I was a bit worried as we too were arriving at 8.30pm so thought we would miss dinner. However, we were greeted at reception and welcomed in quickly and had dinner in the restaurant as normal so no worries there!... more

The hotel and staff were really nice for a weeks holiday in the sun. We took our 15yr old and there was no one for her to make friends with as all of the children were very young but she was happy to relax in the sun. The location is ideal about 10 minutes taxi from Playa Americas and a... more

I travelled to Tenerife with my partner and friends this June 2009. On arrival which was evening 12.30 our first thought was where can we get a drink to toast the start of our holiday? as we took a short walk down the road we realized there were no bars! so we went to the hotel bar which was closing... more
