Just came back from a 6 day break in May 2013. We chose the hotel because it's reasonably easy to get to from the airport (25mins by taxi), is near to the town but far enough away to be relaxing. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable (even with good selection of TV channels). The... More

Just back from staying at the Riu Aceras which is a platinum hotel and totally lived up to our expectations. The hotel is set in beautiful picturesque surroundings in the gorgeous area of Playa del Duque. The rooms were spacious and immaculate with comfortable beds and white linen sheets and the food was varied and very tasty and well cooked.... More

Just came back from 2 weeks Riu Arecas. Had a great time. The hotel is large but not too large. There are many guests but not too many. You can move around comfortably. And the small walk to the fantastic El Duque Beach is a nice walk, not too far away. Every other day outings to watch dolphin's, vulcano's and... More

My only negative experiences were the following: The dining tables are much too close to each other , for breakfast it... More

We stayed at this hotel Riu Arecas in April 2013. The whole holiday was ruined when a ring went missing from our hotel room on the first day of our holiday. The management were un-cooperative and would not take any responsibility for the missing ring or for their staff. Make sure you use the room safe at all times.
