We really enjoyed the food as there was a great variety of options, and most dishes were delicious. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the sea. The staff were very friendly and always greeted us with a smile. Our room was cleaned daily, and we received fresh towels every day, sometimes even twice a day.

The price for the stay felt quite high. While most of the food was great, the scrambled eggs at breakfast were a bit soggy, and the desserts weren’t that good. We stayed on the bottom floor and unfortunately found a cockroach inside one night. The pillows were also too high for my comfort.

The personel is great, hard working and all smilling. The room was big and clean and very cozy The food is very good.

I wish I knew from the begining that the drinks are not included. Except the breakfast, all the other time all the drinks, including water has to pay for it. Is the first 5 star hotel where you can see people carring boxes of water they bought from a local store.

The hotel has a great location very close to the beach. The building is a little dated. Bedrooms and public areas very clean and attractive. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Good choice at buffet breakfast with items being replenished when needed. Bedrooms/bathrooms appeared newly refurbished and were a good size. Lovely gardens, pool area and plenty of sun beds.

We were on half board and it was difficult to reserve restaurants as already quite full on arrival, apart from the evening buffet.

We stayed at the hotel during our honeymoon, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The room was lovely, very clean and comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing – such a wide variety and everything was delicious. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and professional, which made us feel very welcome. We’re grateful for the memories and would definitely recommend this place to others!

This hotel gets all the basics right - lovely bedroom with beautiful toiletries, pleasant professional staff, great quality and choice of food, nice atmosphere and great entertainment. Food and drink prices are reasonable so guests stay in and enjoy the hotel. Pools are great and sunbeds are plentiful. No wonder guests return year after year.

Location was great, staff excellent, very comfortable

Perhaps please put water free of charge in room for arriving guests. Doesn’t cost much and it brings smile

Our recent luxury hotel stay was a truly delightful experience, thanks to the excellent location, food, staff, and amazing entertainment. An incredible luxury hotel located by the sea which was a highlight, with amazing walks and stunning views. The food and choice at the buffet was exceptional and the service was brilliant. The multiple pool area with the fantastic infinity pool looking out to the sea is truly breathtaking and a standout feature that any guest would be lucky to experience. The view alone is worth the price of the stay, and the infinity pool gives the impression of being at one with the ocean. The variety of pools available provides a super range of options for guests. The pool bars are a great addition, offering a wide selection of drinks and snacks to enjoy while soaking up the sun. The menu choice is impressive, with options for both light snacks and more substantial meals. Plenty of WC facilities available which were very regularly cleaned. There was, what looked to be a well stocked gym and spa with plenty of beauty treatments on offer at a good price, which we did not use this time but maybe the next. Additionally, the cleanliness of the hotel was faultless and the beautiful decor added to the luxurious feel. Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable stay.

There were a couple of small shortcomings, the see-through glass panel between the bedroom and bathroom was a major privacy issue and caused light pollution at night which made it difficult to sleep when someone needed . to use the bathroom. The lack of a mirror at the dressing table was an inconvenience. There were not enough sockets available in the room, which made charging electronic devices difficult. These issues slightly detracted from an otherwise wonderful stay at this luxury hotel but not enough to dissuade us from booking another stay.

Our room on 4th floor had fantastic ocean view. Hotel has large, well organized and protected garden with sufficient number of sunbeds and pools. The beach with dark sand but otherwise clean is easy to access. Majority of visitors during our stay were middle-aged or older. General atmosphere restful, polite people, no loud music, no smoking. The only disturbing sign from visitors side was mentioned in earlier reviews: early morning reservation of sunbeds, sometimes not using them during the day. Good food, especially seasonal fruits and juices. Great thanks to hotel personnel, particularly reception, main and Krystal restaurant for the friendly atmosphere and nice touches.

Half day trip to Teide National Park organized by TUI (probably the only local trip provider at the hotel). We were not informed that English and German speaking tourists will be accommodated in bus with one tour guide, collection tourists from different hotels (bus approx. 40 seats) took more than an hour, the same on way back. Compliments to bus driver who did excellent job on serpentines. The national park itself is amazing, definitely worth to visit! Try to book in advance, several providers with informative websites.

The staff were superb - from arrival to departure we received excellent cheerful service from everyone. The food was great - a super large buffet for breakfast and dinner, with the alternative of two small speciality restaurants, one Spanish, one international. The view from the restaurant out over the sea made the dining experience even better. The music and evening entertainment, outside under the stars, was always something live, sometimes singers, sometimes a band, but always fun. A selection of lovely clean pools and pool bars, and easy access out onto the dark sand beach and the path along the shoreline of the Adeje Coast.

I cannot think of anything - we had a great time.

Breakfast was excellent with super choice ranging from fried English to fish, fruit etc. It was even better eating breakfast on the balcony overlooking the pools and the sea. Dinner was buffet style with plenty of choice. Waiters always polite and attentive. Room was fab - we had a sea & pool view on 3rd floor. Spotlessly clean Situation of Hotel was great with a lovely stroll along the promenade towards the more built up area of Adeje if we wanted it. Really could not fault the hotel. This was our 3rd stay at the Riu Palace and we recommended to our friends who came with us who really enjoyed it.

The entertainment was poor for the standard of the hotel. There were a couple of acts that were good but 3 out of the 5 we saw were very poor and seemed only to want to shout & scream to please themselves rather than play to the audience.
