Hotels on first line in Tenerife

I am shocked to read some of the negative reviews, for the money you pay to come here it is very good value for money; if you want 5 star then there are plenty of them hotels in the area

Heard a lot of people talking about the brown water, we did experience this on the last night, but this happened to us before in another hotel around the corner

We just left the tap running for a few minutes and it was clear again

Thank you for a fab time we would definitely come back 🏝️

We stayed in E block self catering which is the block furthest away from the small shopping centre which hotel is attached too. Only been here 4 nights room very clean and spacious

Dated decor and furniture but that didn’t spoil the stay. Ours was ground floor with very large patio which backed onto the road but apart from the odd coach it was very quiet

Great holiday, Great hotel and the staff were amazing, literally couldn't fault the amount of effort everyone at the hotel put in over the xmas period, the rooms were spotless the whole resort was maintained and very clean, all staff were polite and there was always something to eat for everyone, the heated pools were spot on we couldn't keep the kids out! always activity to keep them entertained...

The food was was really good with great variety in themed nights and always enough ‘basics’ for the kids if they didn’t fancy oriental night! The pools are heated which makes a world of difference

A special mention for Marina who was an excellent lifeguard by the kids pool. Marina played games and kept them entertained and safe

Free bus to the beach was easy as well, we walked and it took half hour so nice to have the option

You might think that is a criticism, it's not, the heart of this hotel is the way it makes you feel and the staff. Were we nostalgic, yes, did it bring back good memories, 100%, and have we made more, absolutely

You’ll meet Shelby the kids entertainer, she’s absolutely amazing at her job there’s never a dull moment! Along side with her husband Miguel, he works the bar and again you’ll become good friends

Loads of different pools and plenty of sunbeds. Kids are in the hotel but you wouldn't notice them as it is very quiet

40 euro per person to use the thermal suite for 90 mins. - Gym looked good in the photos but I was disappointed when I saw it in person. Just a few basic machines and dumbbells that only go up to 22kg

Well sized, powerful showers with multiple jets, amazing bath. Beds are enormous and very comfortable. - Breakfast is the best hotel breakfast I've had. So many options and it is all high quality

I do not get why so many hotel gyms do not have the basics like a squat rack and pull up bar. - We only had the dinner buffet once but it didn't impress us as much as the breakfast

No noisy guests or sounds from bars like other hotels in the more party areas. - Cocktails were great and were reasonably priced. Cons - Spa is an added cost and it is expensive

If you are looking for a more buzzing hotel I would look elsewhere but if you want a peaceful one then this is great. - Hotel is very quiet overall

The pool is very well kept and a good system for allocating towels and sunbeds. The food is exceptional, so much choice. Very good breakfast with fruits, eggs cooked to order, rolls, croissants etc

Dinner also has great choices, beautiful salads, soups, cheeses, meats. Steak and fish cooked to order. The pool bar/snack bar and main bar are really comfortable and great variety of cocktails

Our room was on the side of the hotel with a view of the mountain and partial sea view. The room itself was fairly large and the bed was very comfortable as were the pillows

You never had to rush for a sunbed as there was always plenty available and you have a nice thick mattress placed on them

On some nights there was at least 6 or 7 people waiting for fish/meat to be cooked. The pool outside was lovely and warm

Back again to this wonderful hotel. When you have visited a place a few times there is always the worry that things won’t be as good but not here. They are friendly, professional and take pride in their work and hotel

Plenty of beds around so there was no need to get there early to get a sunbed. There were plenty of comfortable sitting areas around the bar. Drinks were reasonably priced and measures were generous

  Location was excellent with plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The highlights during our stay was Bellissimo, which was a restaurant on the hill opposite the bar seating area

And was away from the noise of the road and pavement near the carpark. A secluded but very private area with just a few apartments located along the side

We had a great stay at Ona el Marques. The apartment had everything we needed. Staff were helpful and thoughtful to our needs

  Unfortunately we didn’t book an apartment with a balcony so we didn’t feel we could sit outside to eat and drink as outside our apartment was a walkway.   The pool area was clean with toilets and changing available

Lovely stay - very friendly hardworking staff and very welcoming. Very well equipped rooms and very clean, Pool towels provided. Walk into the centre made easier with back gate access. Lidl and Superdino only yards away

It wasn't entertaining at all and this was one of the main things that sold this hotel for me and my partner. Being adults only one would expect a much better experience and one that was adult orientated

The food is lovely and a great range and the rooms are clean and very nice to be in

Hotel was spotlessly clean but some of the staff arrogant and the entertainment was atrocious. Foam party was one of the worst sights I have ever seen, evening entertainment lasted 1

The room, bedroom and bathroom are generally good, but the air conditioner is blocked by the balcony door and cannot be easily started. After repairs, it still does not work.

Service, is outstanding, the bar staff know your order the first day, and the entertainment team are hilarious and amazing with guests (they might threaten to throw you in the pool tho lol) The location is good, right I'm the center of everything really the only downside is there are a lot of hills but the taxis (usually) are under €5 to get places

Cleaners were amazing come into our rooms every day empty bins making our beds with cute little bows and cleaning the whole room for us and making it neat and tidy. Front desk Staff were always helpful calling us taxis

Despite what some booking websites suggest, the hotel is not quite beachfront: there’s a football pitch between the building and the ocean

The breakfasts and dinners were consistently delicious, with a good variety and great quality, and the Christmas festive dinner was especially memorable — beautifully prepared, warm, and full of holiday atmosphere

This 3-star hotel truly exceeds expectations and offers more than many 4-star properties. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and comfortable

The grill station, in particular, is a standout, largely thanks to the brilliant lady running it, who deserves a special mention. However, this is where the four-star claim starts to wobble a little

The staff throughout the hotel are exceptional, consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm, from reception to the restaurant and the cleaning team

In our two-bed room there was a single plug socket (apparently encouraging digital detox), no fridge, no kettle, and not even complimentary water

The walk from the beach back to the hotel is a bit lengthy to do everyday as it is all uphill and not ideal in the heat, which isn’t very avoidable as that’s where most things are located

Our youngest had her birthday whilst we were there and the staff helped to make it feel special by making a birthday cake and decorating a table for us in the Italian restaurant

But please do not be put off , I couldn’t recommend it more brilliant in every department so pleased with everything no complaints they must of been reviewing a different hotel because I can guarantee it wasn’t the one we stayed in … Thankyou playa real for a wonderful stay

The location is good if you like to walk, but if you have mobility issues, you may find the walk from the hotel down to the main area a little bit much

Don’t know how this hotel has got any bad reviews,a little apprehensive before we came because of them

But, there are lots of options such as taxi's, scooters and mobility scooters for hire

3rd time staying here, some bad reviews about this hotel, but I have never had a bad experience, always been absolutely fine and great value for the money paid, I have not been in high season so my review is based on Jan/Feb last time was Oct/Nov

The sister hotel is across the road and its a lot more expensive, there is a reason for that, you get what you pay for at both hotels. Rooftop swimming pool with great views

There was plenty of varied food , something for everyone at all times. My particular favourite being the hot freshly done Pork Chops. The restaurant staff had the place organised and kept on top of things

As far as food goes you have to remember you are in Spain, if you want English food stay at home. I agree it is not suitable for all inclusive as entertainment in the hotel is non existent

Rooms are dated but clean and tidy, if you have issues speak up, too many wait to complain after they get home, the staff are lovely and friendly and if they can help you they will

I would return to HC Magec without hesitation and would recommend that anyone reading the reviews should experience the hotel for themselves and make their own mind up

Winter break, quiet resort, local restaurants & supermarkets. Friendly staff. Clean accommodation. Tidy pool & garden areas. Plenty of sunbeds.

Only things that we're included that we found were ice cream and crisps. Pool activities (if you wanted them) were available aswell as outdoor tennis, table tennis, pool & kids room

-archery is sticky pad kids archery -if you want to use the tennis courts you have to pay €9 each time -lots of the kids equipment/toys were broken -the pools may be heated but they are NOT warm! Pros: -great location, quiet but with some fab places to eat and drink within walking distance

The hotel is modern, very clean and tidy, the staff are excellent and plentiful. The apartments are great and have everything u need including washing machine and dishwasher with tabs to use them too

We stayed here for 1 week, there was a storm apparently so was unsure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with the weather and no rain all week

When we enquired at reception we were told where the linen was in the room and that we were expected to make the bed -shower was either freezing or boiling - staff were often abrupt and rude - the entertainment “schedule” is more of an idea of what might happen

I'm a small person and had difficulty climbing in and out of the bath to shower as it is very high. What I like about the hotel is the comfort, the spaciousness of our room

Rooftop swimming pool and bar super. Although breakfast good evening meals pretty average. Staff in restaurant from top to bottom require serious training in dealing with clients

I understand the hotel has no control over this but a solution would be to install soundproofing of the balcony door. My only other concern is the combined bath and shower

There are also a lot of people passing by having loud conversations and in the morning early deliveries to the hotel happen

The breakfast buffet is excellent and finally the wonderful location and the friendliness of all the hardworking staff

Very nice place will definitely come again staff were very helpful and friendly

The General Manager also personally took the time to speak to us and ensure that we services met with our expectations. The facilities were wonderful and allowed for some much needed down time

The service was excellent, the facilities very nice. I missed fresh orange juice for breakfast and Serrano ham for dinner, for a 5-star hotel, it's a gem. But overall, it was very good

A perfect holiday at El Mirador. The hotel staff were amazing, in particular, Paula, Patricia and Rita who went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect

Some nice restaurants in the area as well so you don't need to just rely on hotel cuisine

Incredible hotel. Staff was amazing. Property was beautiful. Great location.

We would definitely recommend this hotel

Breakfast was included and had healthy and English or continental breakfast options. Got 5 sunbeds daily and used the pool bar/restaurant for drinks and lunch

The reception had told us they had arranged some food and so we went down to the restaurant to be greeted with a cheerful Hola from the waitress ( don't forget its midnight by now) the food was superb fruit meats cheeses fresh bread seafood all freshly prepared

Fabulous hotel in great location for stroll to beach for pubs and restaurants. It was their hotels 35th anniversary on our arrival and we had a bottle of fizz and biscuit on arrival to celebrate

The staff are friendly and helpful booking taxis and a table booking in next resort. Room is cleaned daily with fresh towels room and pool available too

It is a quieter hotel with no music or big groups of people or children which we gave it a relaxing vibe during the day and then walked along the beachfront for nighttime entertainment

Spa did not have room but sister property did next door which was fantastic. Rent a car if you want to see the island. Some lovely restaurants with great views and good seafood nearby

I had a lovely stay at Club Tarahal. Location is excellent and the staff were kind and helpful. My compliments to Miriam and her colleague at the reception as well as to house keeping, that did an excellent job

I recommend Appartement a bit old but the view was great from the apartment as well as from the pool. Very good reactivity from the reception as well. Could find a parking lot with no issue. I recommend.

I hope they are all well appreciated by management! Some apartments need a makeover of the kitchen. Well equipped! My only buts are the carving knives as well as the size of the bed, only 190 cm long

When we arrived the room first smelt strongly of bleach maybe to disguise the drain smell

I'm still here, but it's a pleasant resort in a pleasant area,reception staff really lovely,nothing too much trouble, the apartment was clean and had all neccesaties, a lovely view and garden topped it off nicely,I've stayed in many places,and I'm NOT disappointed

A bottle of wine on the table was a welcome sight after a long day of travel: amazing balcony, kitchen, bedrooms. And just a 5-minute walk brought us to awesome sidewalk restaurants with 5-star food

We had a large room with a private terrace (with a small table & chairs) and 2 sun loungers that were in the sun all day. We chose to use the main pool and didn’t have a problem getting any sunbeds at 8

The hotel is located very close to the Playa Fañabe beach and strip with plenty of restaurants available near by. The apartment we stayed in was clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen

The location is also great, with a supermarket next door and plenty of bars and restaurants in front of the hotel and a 5 minute walk down to the beach front

The rooftop terrace was an added bonus which we did not realise we would have. The pool is an excellent size with a lovely poolside bar and restaurant

The property was nice and clean, staff was amazing. Location was central to everything, shops, restaurants and beaches.

Everything else was clean and we had an issue where I had locked us out of the room safe (my fault!). The hotel sent a maintenance man within 10 minutes who fixed it for us

Rooms can be more up to date but they are spacious and clean therefore would not complain. Pool bar reasonably priced , £3 pint, £6 cocktails etc. Enough sun loungers and free towels from the lifeguard :) would come back

The lobby is very lovely and polite workers. Fed just super,great choice of dishes,vegetables,fruits, cakes. The waiters are like bees and also very cute

Lovely clean hotel, excellent breakfast and good location. Close to the town centre around 20min walk or £3:45 by taxi just outside the hotel

Located in the center, a huge number of shops and cafes, the ocean 10 minutes away

The cleanliness was excellent and staff was very attentive. Far superior to other hotels that I have stayed in. The pool areas were quiet and relaxing.

Beautiful, sleek and modern hotel, most definitely five star in standard throughout. Our room was very well equipped and spacious with a good view towards the sea and with a large terrace including sun loungers

Roof top pools added a ‘wow’ factor and afforded stunning views. Location close to the old fishing village of Caleta was great for an evening walk and drink or meal out, booking a day ahead highly advisable

Although we knew the swimming pools weren’t going to be big they were still a little disappointing in size and a little maintenance around the ground floor pool wouldn’t go amiss

I hesitate to give 5* rating because it might encourage others to go there and mean there’s less availability for me in the future, but I really feel like they deserve it!

There was strike action while we were there and only room service and a limited cleaning service was available but it did not affect our stay

I really like it. The customer service is very good. I can also store my luggage. The most important thing is that the room is beautiful and you can see the sea.

The location is good, the room is spacious enough, and there is a small balcony. I left early and didn't take care of breakfast

The environment is great, very close to the beach and Loro Park, the facilities in the hotel are very complete, the garden is very beautiful, and the staff are very friendly.

I can book it next time! Hygiene: OK, very clean Service: Very warm and good Facilities: A little old Environment: Not bad

The breakfast was really top notch and delicious, with a lot of fresh fruits and food varieties. Sadly, the location is a bit inaccessible and not that close to either of the airports on the island

My friend's cash and credit card were stolen from the room while he was downstairs for breakfast. Luckily, the card was locked in time and the money on the card was not taken

The heated river pool is absolutely stunning — a real highlight of the stay. It’s beautifully designed, relaxing, and adds a unique sense of luxury that sets this hotel apart

The restaurant food was excellent, with high-quality dishes that were consistently delicious. Breakfast was equally impressive, offering a wide variety of options with fresh, high-quality ingredients to suit all tastes

The staff were outstanding throughout our stay: extremely courteous, genuinely friendly, and always attentive without being intrusive. Their attention to detail really stood out and made us feel truly looked after

⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding 5-Star Luxury Experience The Royal River View Hotel in Tenerife is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everything about this hotel felt like true five-star luxury

Special mention to Nancy who was super friendly and efficient ensuring everyone had everything they wanted at breakfast and throughout the day. A wonderful winter break at a stunning hotel! We will be back

Our villa was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and maintained to the highest standard. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a perfect night’s sleep every night

She always made the beds and left us a bow tie out of the one of the covers each day. The food I enjoyed and found a lot of variety providing you didn't want chips and pizza every night

We hoped, that bedlinen would be changed in the middle of week. One day room wasn't cleaned at all. But view was very nice and staff very friendly and helpfull

Great sea views from the balcony

You can sunbathe on the balcony, just like on the beach! The food is plentiful, the quality is 4-5, the drinks are scarce, and the coffee is average

Spent 10 nights at this quiet and relaxing hotel but could definitely do with some small improvements. Room was nice with a lovely sea view but never cleaned fully on a daily basis

As we had just breakfast and dinner included, we bought some coffee or soft drinks at the bar for very fair rates, all in all a very good hotel!
