Stayed for one week's R&R at the beginning of March and the hotel was just perfect. Room was lovely, 7321 and overlooked the pools and sea. The hotel itself was spotless and the majority of visitors adhered to the returning of their used plates/glasses around the pools and bars, thereby keeping the resort looking clean. Plenty of sunbeds available, even when we wondered down at 10, but you still get the ones that need a particular spot and feel the need to get up at silly o'clock. All the staff throughout where very friendly and accommodating, what we have come to expect and experience throughout the Riu chain. Our favourite place was the La Gomera bar, offering views of said island, nice place to sit and watch sunset with a lovely cocktail or 2! The food in the buffet was freshly cooked and good. We ate in the grill and the Italian and both of these although still buffet where very enjoyable. Although we where told that the hotel was full, non of the restaurants appeared manic. On our first morning we where told that the main buffet was full and where redirected to the Atlantico restaurant. No problem here, smaller restaurant but still same food/service and lovely view of the sea. We went straight to this restaurant every morning for breakfast. The Neon party was great fun, perhaps the best evening entertainment of the whole week. We knew before we went that there wasn't much in resort, but for a week that was fine, but I would struggle having 2 weeks here. We walked every day along the prom, in both directions and managed to get in in excess of our 10,000 steps. Would definitely return here in the future for some much needed winter sun.

Hotel's Favorite
This was our 10th Spanish all inclusive family holiday and 2nd visit to a RIU hotel. Overall, I would say that this hotel was excellent, with a few exceptions. First impression are of a spacious and well maintained hotel. The whole site is spotlessly clean and well maintained with staff cleaning throughout the day. We had a double interconnecting family room which was huge with a large shared balcony on the quiet side of the hotel - this meant it was quite shady and with limited views but quieter than a room facing the pool area. The A/C was efficient and relatively quiet if you want it on at night. We both have bad backs and found the beds very comfortable (rum and coke may have helped in that respect). The site has 5 pools including a children's play pool and an adults only pool area. It is built on sloping land and the pools are positioned on different terrace levels, each with their own large seating area. Whilst this is a large hotel, the layout of the pools mean it never feels over crowded and you can pick the area that suits you best. There are plenty of sun beds and whilst people are up early to put out towels, if you don't want a large group together and are not fussy about where you sit, then you can get a sunbed throughout the day. We were a group of six and we found we could get six beds in our preferred location at about 0845hrs each morning - so you don't have to get up super early. The pool areas are scrupulously clean. The pools appear to be chlorinated salt water (environmentally more sound) and were pleasantly warm. With the exception of the shallow kids pool, they are 1.1m deep and have lifeguards on duty. Towels are provided by the hotel and can be exchanged for fresh ones as often as you wish. During the day, you are never very far from a bar - where there is self service beer, wine and soft drinks. There are also plenty of toilets across the site and we always found these clean - which is often not the case in similar hotels. There is a short walk to a small cove and man made beach. This is formed from volcanic stones and sand and difficult to walk on without suitable footwear (in terms of both heat and comfort). If you go at low tide there is a route into the sea made of sand rather than stones. The sea drops of quite quickly and so for anything more than a paddle you need to be able to swim. There was a reasonable current but this pushed you back towards the beach so was quite safe in that respect. It is a rocky area and there were several people snorkelling. If you are a fan of a day on the beach, this is not the hotel for you - but okay for a dip in the sea. In terms of food there is a large main restaurant and also an Italian, Asian and Grill themed restaurants (more of these later). The Grill restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch as an additional food space - but we found the selection was better in the main restaurant. The main restaurant has a large indoor and outdoor seating area and we managed pretty much always to get seated in an area of our choice. There was a decent all inclusive selection of freshly grilled meat and fish with veg, pizza, pasta, salad, soup, bread, cheeses and desserts and other dishes. We found that the food was reasonably hot and fresh and always found something that we liked. It may become a little repetitive for a 2 weeks stay. The dessert selection was better than our previous experience in Spanish Hotels and the ice cream was particularly good (including the new experience of Toasted Cornmeal Ice Cream - a taste sensation!!). The fresh pizza was good and at lunch there were freshly grilled burgers with toppings either prepared or self assembly and we found the quality of the meat to be very good. I would not normally have burgers on holiday but these were tasty. In my view the veg selection was not great - and generally overcooked, as was the grilled fish. The stews and curry were poor I felt, both looking and tasting unappetising. In the evening their is a daily roast which was very nice. The restaurant was kept very clean, with lots of staff cleaning tables. We also saw the in-house food hygiene inspector checking the areas and food temperatures a number of times which is reassuring. On balance, I have had a better food selections on other all inclusive but this was pretty good on balance and if you cannot find yourself something to eat that you enjoy you would be pretty picky. The presence of themed restaurants (see below) meant that there were no themed nights in the main restaurant, which we have enjoyed elsewhere. And so to the speciality restaurants. The Italian and Asian has to be booked via an app - there was no explanation of this on arrival so you have to discover this for yourself. I am not sure how you can get a place as the tables are only available on the app two days in advance and each time we checked they were fully booked. So disappointingly, we never got to try them. To be fair to the hotel we could have asked for advice on this and maybe there is a way of successfully booking. The same cannot be said for the Atlantic Grill - they clearly have an issue with poor attendance as we were pressured to book a table immediately on arrival (and the receptionist got quite cross with us when we declined). We were then approached most breakfasts by staff asking us to book a table for that evening. We chose not to eat at the grill (having found the grill at another RIU hotel to be disappointing) so cannot comment on quality, but you would certainly not have an issue getting a seat. If you need a snack during the day there is a snack bar open from late morning through to 1800hrs. This offers burgers, hot dogs, chips and what appear to be carrot sandwiches! The quality was decent and they were being freshly cooked for several hours of the day - after about 1430, they are available by have been kept warm in a hot cabinet so not to fresh. Still good for kids who don't want to miss too much pool action. The same snacks are then available from the lobby snack bar from 1100hrs and through the night with a microwave to warm them. In terms of drinks, as already mentioned there are multiple bars with the main drinks available self service. Staff provide a range of cocktails (pre-mixed in the day and some freshly mixed at night), local spirits, tea, coffee and flavoured milks. Beware of the red coloured slush from the pool bars and the colouring is powerful stuff and stains both teeth, lips and clothing! The lobby bar provides service 24hrs and so there is no shortage of alcohol, but we did not encounter anyone unpleasantly drunk. Bottles of water for the room are available free from the lobby bar. There is a comprehensive range of entertainment for all ages during the day. The staff were pleasant and professional. One exception was the arrangement for the table tennis table. To get the bats and ball you need to find a member of entertainment staff (who cannot always be found) and they will sign them out to you for a deposit. One of the staff took a EUR 5 deposit but when we went to take them back no member of staff could be found - it was towards the end of the day and we were told they have gone home. We left the equipment in their office so as not to deprive anyone else and went to try and recover the money the following day. The particular member of staff could not be found over several days and when pressed the matter on the final day we were presented with a record of us having signed for the money back (but it was not our signature!!). When questioned at reception, they said there was no set deposit and the entertainment staff just taken "whatever they think". To be fair to the staff, the EUR5 was refunded pretty quickly and they said they were investigate - but the whole system is flaky and with the potential for abuse and could do with improvement. Evening entertainment was particularly good compared to many Spanish resorts. There was a show of some sort each evening (apart from Karaoke one night) and the production values were high. These are not West End shows but they were engaging and enjoyable. There is a large outdoor stage and seating area, although if you eat late you may struggle to get seated and are best to choose an outside table to eat as there is a good view and they let you sit there past restaurant closing time. On a Friday night there is a "white" or "neon" party night where the entertainment area is transformed into a Ibiza style club night (between 2100-2300hrs). We felt that was well done and fairly family friendly (with young kids also dancing and enjoying themselves). We have heard from others that they bring in guests from other RIU hotels - if this is the case then it did not feel overcrowded and it was all quite friendly. That being said, if club music is not your thing or you have very young kids then you will probably not enjoy this. We ranged from 12-70 in age and we all had a good time. On that note, whilst we enjoyed the entertainment, the layout of the hotel means that it is pretty difficult to escape from. There is a large and pleasant lobby bar area, but this has an open balcony to the entertainment area and it is pretty loud in there until 2300hrs. There is a pool bar with seating at the other end of the site open until 2200hrs hours which we used a couple of nights but seating is not all that relaxing. Equally, if you had a room with balcony facing the entertainment you would not get much sleep until 2300hrs and would want to request a room on the outside of the hotel. We did walk out one evening and there are a few shops, bars and restaurants. However, with the exception of one modern shopping centre it was all a bit run down and uninviting. There is a large Hard Rock themed hotel nearby and we saw people come back with bags from there and this seemed to be popular. On balance we were very happy with the hotel which was up to the high standards you would expect from RIU. We would definitely recommend and return. Probably best for families with kids aged 10+ and those who are happy to spend their holiday not venturing far from the hotel and bar. The staff were plentiful and very pleasant. One final note of caution would be for people with mobility issues. It is a large site and this means that it rarely feels overcrowded. However, it is some distance from one end to the other and there are steps and some quite steep slopes due to the terraced format. It is an accessible site in terms of wheelchairs - but I heard one family with a wheelchair comment that every route was a bit steep. This may be a consideration if you struggle getting about. Lovely hotel, decent food, plentiful drink - what is not to like.

Third stay at a Riu hotel and it's everything I expected! The hotel is kept very clean and the staff are always available and friendly. Plenty of food options in the buffet restaurant of which there are two of. Used the Asian and Italian restaurants, both very good. Plenty of drinks options available although I'm not keen on pre-made cocktails (maybe I've been spoilt staying at Riu Palaces!) Those complaining about noise levels, we had a room facing the entertainment stage and after 11pm we didn't hear a thing, even after the Riu Party! The hotel rooms are spacious with fridge and drink facilities, the beds are comfortable with extra pillows/blankets if needed. The hotel is right on the coast with great views and sunset over La Gomera. There's a shopping centre 5 mins away and a strip of shops/bars if looking for a change of scenery. Lovely hotel, will definitely return!!

The best hotel in Tenerife. We have been here a few times now. The hotel is outstanding - there is a good rotation on food, the staff are so attentive taking an interest in your likes behind the bar and they really make the stay so special. The rooms are clean and well kept - no complaints. We look forward to coming back every time.

In General we had a great time at the resort. Room - we had a family room with separate bedroom. Room was clean on arrival, however I noticed that floor wasn’t cleaned up every day, we were not so bothered but after few days amount of dust was very noticeable. Also shower room is separate from toilet, which is ok but accessible only from bedroom, so if someone sleeps in a lunch sofa-bed they would have to disturb sleep. Shower room clean but no toiletries provided ( bring your own shampoo), but shower gel available from dispenser . Restaurants - we only used main buffet as it’s more convenient for us as a family with child who wishes to choose our food. In general there was a good choice available every day. We also were fortunate to be there at St Valentine day, as food selection was amazing. Bars - very mixed with quality, our best experience we had in bar with the view ( not sure the name). Quality of vine could be improved- we all only had few glasses on a first day and everyone had a headache. Entertainment- good especially aqua aerobics and salsa classes were my favourite. Evening entertainment is sad - boring musicians before 21.00 nothing to do for families who finished their dinner and need some time to relax and enjoy with kids- suggestion - magician show or more kahood like could be fun from 20.00-21.00 so kids can release their energy and go to bed. Kids club- not the best ( and we an experienced users) . Would be great to see more engagement.

Such a beautiful hotel we had a great family holiday. We were in a 2 bedroom family room with the most beautiful view in 458. Had sun on the balcony in the afternoon which worked great for us as our toddler had an afternoon nap. Also could see the sunset in the evening. Had a little fridge and tea/coffee making facilities too. Food in all of the restaurants are buffet style, there are also 3 other ones you can book to dine (Asian and Italian are smaller, which we preferred) you can book on the app a few days in advance, there’s 2 sittings and we didn’t have any problem getting a reservation. Breakfast and snack bar was always the same offerings, but lunch and dinner mixed it up each day. There was always something we enjoyed. We loved the choice of drinks on the all inclusive, better standard of cocktails than majority of all inclusive places we’ve been. There are self service areas for beer, wine and soft drinks, which really helped with queues, we never waited more than a minute or two. There are no straws at this hotel, we took our own reusable ones as not a fan of drinking an iced cocktail without one. Bottled water is also included from 24hr lobby bar. There is no shop on site, a little shopping centre with a big supermarket about 5 minute walk (uphill) from the hotel. A bigger choice if bars, shops and restaurants is about 20/25 minutes walk away. Entertainment was good, although from our room at night, it was quite loud. This was ok for us as little one was in bed by 8pm and gave us some atmosphere on the balcony! During the day a choice of activities in the pools and the Riu fit team, kids splash pool with a slide and little park at the side. There is a kids club, but didn’t use it. Evening had different music and acts, my little one liked the kids show, but was a little early at 5.30pm, so sometimes only caught part of it. The Riu party was great fun and they alternate a white and neon parties… loved it . We loved the app and found it easy to use and really informative and you can use it to report any issues or ask guest services any questions. The staff are incredibly friendly and nothing is too much trouble, we will definitely highly recommend this hotel.

This was a holiday for the girls so wanted sun and relaxation…When arriving lovely friendly staff are room had a lovely sea view,near reception. When I read the reviews I was thinking the food would be iffy but you know what go with open mind and heart there is always something for someone to eat. If you go expecting to be waited on and have a foodie experience this is not for you. The food was good the drinks local nothing wrong with that good beer on tap,the place was spotless the beds fabulous comfortable the rooms spotless too. Just go enjoy not working for a minute and soak the sun up 😊

It was our second visit In Riu buenavista and one of many in RiU hotels. First time when we visit Riu buenavista it was before refurbish and we loved all the atmosphere food drinks and entertainment. This time definitly the hotel area, cleanliness, new pools like adults only were great. Also the rooms are very spacious and clean - the only thing which can be improve is to have wentylation in the WC. - staff is very friendly and always polite like usually in most of Riu hotels - entertainment let me down the shows was not much interesting excluding one white party which we were very impress and well di for organization. Animation team should be more interacting with the guests like they do in Riu Papayas, Riu Bambu etc. - Food was ok, everyone will find something for themselves but was very repetetaive after 4 days you pretty much know what will be on breakfast, lunch dinner etc. Italian restaurant was great we were back there 2 times during our visit, Asian one was below our expectations ( the worst from all Riu hotels we had ). - drinks ! - and that's the part which make us down the most. The drinks was premixed ( first time I saw this in Riu hotel) and on the pool was even in the slush machine which wad awful. They did not had a good option for drinks like for example Aperol which we had in Riu Papayas and is same 4star hotel. In general we had nice time so I recommend this hotel for travellers with not much high expectations. I do not think I will be back 3rd time to this hotel ;) So Riu please keep your standards on every Riu hotel :)
