Tenerife North Ski Holidays

Mixed Experience – Good Staff, but Several Frustrations Our stay was a mix of positives and negatives. On arrival, Expedia had incorrectly listed our children as infants, so we were asked to pay ~£700 extra despite booking a 2-bedroom family room for two kids - very frustrating. We also had to carry our own luggage to the room. Food was tasty but repetitive; breakfast, lunch, and dinner were mostly the same and themed restaurants were just minor variations of the buffet. No iron in the room (rentable externally for £20/week) and WiFi is free for only 4 devices. Never came across this in a hotel before,especially a Riu Staff were mostly friendly, especially the entertainment team, but towel staff could be more welcoming. Drinks were good quality, but tables and sunbeds weren’t cleared, guests are expected to dispose of their own glasses and plates. Overall, the hotel has good staff and basic comforts, but repetitive food and minor service shortcomings made our stay less enjoyable than expected.

The rooms were well designed and clean but we found the pillows really uncomfortable. Around the outside sun-bed area, the hotel staff decided to steam clean the beds for an hour which was noisy and annoying, I came on holiday to get away from the sound of a vacuum! The food selection was good but we found it luke warm, a microwave would be good so you could heat up the buffet food, lastly the orange juice was fake, I would of expected real orange juice in Spain also a coffee machine to offer a range of coffee would of been nice. The hotel has not much around it, but the local bus is reasonably priced and very reliable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Everything was perfect -the location, view, room, pools, spa! Don’t stay anywhere else. The hotel also has a cool history.

We loved our 3 day stay. The reception staff were wonderful. We had an issue with our room and they accommodated our request to upgrade. All staff members are very professional and helpful. The food was delicious and many dishes to choose from. It’s a 15 minute walk to the beach and plenty of things to see. Don’t hesitate to book!

You will be staying in a section of a large resort. Your room may well be in amongst the all-inclusive families. Not an issue for us but if you are expecting exclusive adults only, then this is not the place for you. If you are expecting 5 star luxury, then this is not it. Don't spend money on a "premium/luxury" sunbed, the system felt like a scam, the service was terrible. We enjoyed sitting in the sun, we enjoyed breakfast and our room but anything app or service related ended up being met with impending dread. We were called many times by the manager to check we were ok after we wrote a complaint but it was all very awkward. We ended up ordering food for delivery from a place in the next village on two nights, the best food we had all week! They commented to us how bland the food was in the hotel without any prompting from us so it obviously has a reputation. I would suggest staying somewhere smaller that cares about the customer experience more.

Staff are super kind Room was clean Bar too expensive ( 6 euro for a cup of tea, $16 euro for frozen drinks) for no reason while you are already paying for 5 star hotel stay
