Just returned from a 7 day holiday here and had a great time.Weather was redhot and we had a lovely pool facing room giving us sun on our balcony all day . Meals were good with plenty of choice and all the staff were friendly . Listened to the entertainment on a couple of the evenings and it was fine,... More

We stayed at the Riu Arecas at the end of March with our 2 year old daughter. We had requested a sea view room but were not given one as they said they hadn't seen our request (so worth contacting the hotel yourselves directly to confirm). The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and, although we arrived at 8pm, we... More

This hotel is perfect for a quiet break. Set up a hill from the seafront, so would probably be unsuitable for people with walking difficulties, and in a quiet area away from the usual hustle and bustle of the Americas. The hotel is quite small by international standards. The rooms are well furnished with balconies. We were given a room... More

Great hotel we stayed twice, just the food...when you'll stay more than a week the food will be boring. Most travelers (average age 60-70) are German, English and some Dutch and Belgium The food is especially made for the German, was our opinion...lot of salad and not very exciting...the chef loves cooked vegetables with some slices union (the union seemed...

Just returned from 7 day holiday spent at this very well run hotel, which we found to be spotlessly clean and with the most friendly and helpful staff we have encountered in the past. The buffet food is what you would expect from a hotel but there was always plenty of choice to suit all tastes. Drinks are pricey but... More

My wife and I have just returned from a weeks stay. I've got to be honest and say from the off that I am a great fan of the Riu group of hotels. I normally find them well run with friendly, efficient staff. The Riu Arecas did not disappoint on that score. Although we had never stayed here before, thanks... More

The first thing to say is this hotel is very nice and we had a good holiday. The staff are pleasant and the service is as good as any four star Riu hotel. The pool area is clean and good for the kids. The rooms were quite small but clean and typical of most hotels. We asked for a pool... More

On the whole a well run hotel. As mentioned in nearly all previous reviews the staff were most friendly and helpful. The only downside from our point of view was the quality of the evening meal. which was invariably rather cold with some meats undercooked. We found the lack of a quiet lounge unusual for a hotel of this size.... More

We have just returned from a week's stay at this hotel. We have previously stayed in the Sheraton next door but decided to try this hotel as the Sheraton was very expensive for the week we travelled. I now wished I had pushed the boat out and stayed there instead as I thought the Riu was not on any level... More
