My wife and I, together with our 9 year old daughter, stayed at the Riu Garoe from the 8th to the 15th April 2008. Here’s our review of the hotel together with some brief suggestions for things to do. SUMMARY The Garoe is a well-maintained hotel with friendly, accommodating staff and a good standard of cuisine. Although situated on the... more

We stayed at the Hotel Garoe in September 2007 and to be perfectly honest with you we would not return. We loved the rooms and the food was ok too but talk about the germans! don't even go there and some fellow brits can be snobs too. We are a normal couple in our 50s who like a bit of... more

The hotel is beautifully looked after.The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms spacious and clean.The grounds of the hotel are lovely.Unfortunately we had a group of(won't mention nationality)yobs in the room next to us who played cards on the balcony and were most abusive when I complained.They were footballers staying in the hotel-why in such a nice place... more

Just returned from an excellent holiday at the Riu Garoe in Tenerife. From the moment we arrived until the day we left we found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful, the best we have ever encountered. Our room was very clean, complete with welcome pack and hospitality tray, with a large balcony overlooking the lovely gardens and... more

This is an excellent hotel with the most wonderful array of buffet and freshly cooked food. The majority of the guests were Germans (no problem), the reception staff spoke perfect English and were more than helpful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the room was really good, especially the bathroom with the "his" and "hers" basins. Excellent welcome pack in the... more

Our second visit in 2 months to this wonderful, classy, clean and relaxed establishment that is well managed and well run with terrific, friendly and welcoming staff in the quieter and more select location of La Paz, in Puerto de la Cruz. Overall, the facilities, entertainment and standard of food on offer are exceptional for a 4 star holiday hotel.... more

Nice hotel but I would not stay there again. I went there on the recommendation of my sister and her husband who brought their three daughters there (all under 9) last April. My girlfriend and I went for the first week in November. I have roots in Tenerife. My grandfather was born in Guimar and I have a number of... more

The hotel is good BUT there are a lot of old Germans and they don’t like children. I do not think there is much to do here all at all. The Hotels entertainment is in Spanish and German only and most of the staff do not speak English. As for Thomson they dump you here with only a phone number... more

From the friendliness of the staff to the clean and resfull rooms, the location was just perfect, the food amazing, the bar staff - exceptional in every way! This gem of a hotel is at the far end of the... more
