We stayed in this hotel for 10 days in July 2017. Hotel for adults-18+, no running around the floors and noise. wi-fi throughout the hotel: both inside and by the pools worked without problems at any time of the day. At the reception, they always solve problems with a smile, and quickly. "Zal" the safe-problem was solved within 5 (! ) Minutes, the master came in 2 (! ) Minutes. Safe-2evro per day. Bela and Ingrid speak good Russian at the reception. Cuisine: everything is delicious, the assortment is gorgeous: in addition to all the goodies that are prepared in front of you, you can "take" champagne, ice cream cake in the morning (with a choice of whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, etc. ), every day was (along with a huge variety fruits) strawberries, often a chocolate fountain. . . It is simply impossible to list everything that is offered for breakfast and dinner! At dinner, all alcohol and water are paid (payment upon departure from the hotel). The waiters are polite, take your dirty plate and say thank you too. There are enough tables both in the hall and on the veranda - there is no need to borrow in advance. we left for an early excursion, went to the restaurant before opening, no one said anything, served and fed without problems, the only thing was they didn’t fry scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs (as they always do with you). Pools: 2, towels are free (according to the hotel card), you can change during your stay by the pool as many times as you need, the bar-waiters are always ready to serve, there are plenty of sunbeds, it also makes no sense to borrow in advance. Room: clean, cleaned every day, towels are half-changed every day, shampoo (on the wall is a large dispenser) and soap, there is a hair dryer (well and strong), in addition to a large mirror, a round one is attached (approximately 20 cm in diameter) with a magnifying mirror, on balcony has a dryer, two armchairs and a table, there is a small refrigerator. The hotel always (during the day! ) observed the work of the deputy. director of the hotel Andres - always with a smile, do you have any questions? We will solve it! ), And just always smiles and asks how you are, everything is with a smile. You can go to the ocean past the pools (the key to the room opens the gate), by the way, the next hotel (a pool overlooking the sea) can also be visited by opening with the same key, you can, walking, go from the hotel to the left, along the "channel", and then along the waterfront. The municipal beach is clean, there are changing rooms and showers, however, the African sun is very hot, you can get burned even with the sun behind the clouds, cream protection is required. Bottom: sand, but sometimes shallow, and then sharply deep. Shops: Opposite the hotel there is a supermarket, but if you go from the hotel to the left to another brick-colored hotel, then among the shops there is also a hyperdino grocery store, it is cheaper there. If you go shopping or somewhere, there is a bus stop in front of the hotel, by the way, and a taxi is inexpensive, and in terms of a company it is even cheaper than paying for everyone on the bus. If you walk along the promenade, you can walk to the shopping center. You can write a lot, but it's better to visit! ! I recommend the hotel in all respects!

Good day! Rested with his wife together (late November - early December 2013). Were in Costa Adeje (South, but not Las Americas, the difference was significant at least for us, I will explain later why). Were for the first time. Hotel: The hotel of the German system RIU was called (I can make a mistake in spelling) AREKAS, 4 stars.

Good day! Rested with his wife together (late November - early December 2013). Were in Costa Adeje (South, but not Las Americas, the difference was significant at least for us, I will explain later why). Were for the first time.
Hotel: The hotel of the German system RIU was called (I can make a mistake in spelling) AREKAS, 4 stars. Accordingly, the hotel is 80% Germans, several Russian couples. The hotel is next to their own five RIU (I don’t remember the name), you can use the infrastructure of both hotels (sauna, swimming pools, etc. ). The hotel is not new, but decent, maintained in good condition, the rooms are clean (although we lived in one, we did not move). Animals in the form of ants and cockroaches were not seen. Cleaning every day, linen changed 1 or 2 times. Everything is clean and tidy everywhere - German order. They don’t speak Russian at the reception, but they try very hard to understand, in general, in broken English and gestures - there were no problems. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The pools in both hotels are not big, to be honest, they never swam in them, they only went to swim in the ocean. Territories near the hotels are also not very large, but clean and well-groomed. The hotel was a little (breakfast, dinner and slept), walked all the time, walked, went on excursions.
The food was at a good level, there was meat, there were seafood (but not very much), cheeses, fruits, desserts, pastries and ice cream, everything is there, everything is edible (not to say that everything is amazingly tasty, but decently, rationally, everything is pedantic in German) , a couple of times gave champagne. For breakfast, disgusting coffee and tea, but they say this everywhere they have such a problem (they never drank good tea and coffee there). We took breakfast and dinner, next time we will be smarter - we will take only breakfast. There are a lot of cafes on the streets, the menu is in Russian everywhere, it’s not a problem to eat, they cook for every taste and every budget....if you go somewhere far away, it is not very convenient - you have to return to the hotel for dinner. If you have lunch in the afternoon, then you don’t want to have dinner in the evening, in general, it’s like anyone, but next time we’ll go either with breakfast or without a boarding house at all. Nearby was the fishing village of La Caletta, there are many small restaurants where they bring freshly caught fish for dinner, they were going to go there for lunch several times, but it didn’t work out (very sorry, we hope next time... ), in other places, although they say that the fish is fresh, but he himself saw the same fish in the window for several days in a row - they are cunning, a lot of seafood is generally imported (they simply are not found there), but they are passed off as freshly caught.
Weather: we suffered for a long time and read reviews, whether we are lucky or not with the weather, whether we will be able to swim in the ocean or not, whether it will rain or it will blow over...... It was everything: one day from 9 am to 6 pm it rained without stopping, in the afternoon from about 14 to On the 15th a hurricane passed. We have never seen such an element in our lives. Cast-iron hatches were knocked out from the wells with water, water flows everywhere, rivers along the streets, etc. All in all, it's a must see and experience. The next day - the sun is 26 degrees, wonderful weather! We were mostly lucky with the weather, there were no more rains. Temperature 24-26, very comfortable, not cold, not hot, not sweating, you can safely walk everywhere. It was hot for a couple of days, it felt like 30 degrees. The last day of our stay there was a very strong wind, not to say that it was cold (20-21 degrees), but the wind was very strong and the waves were strong - we did not swim. They tanned normally, not to say that it was strong, but noticeable - like we have in the summer.....
Swimming: We swam almost every day (except on a rainy day). The water is invigorating, it’s cool to enter at first, but when you enter, you swim quite calmly, the temperature does not bother you, it’s very comfortable. At first we walked along the surf along the beach, we were doused with water, gradually got used to it and went in quite calmly. There are no changing rooms and toilets on the beaches - at all, at best, one shower for the entire beach! With what it is connected, we did not understand. Toilets are free everywhere. All of this made me a little uncomfortable. One day in the morning there was a storm, the sun came out in the afternoon, the ocean calmed down and we swam...... We didn’t lie on the beach, we didn’t sunbathe on purpose, only when we walked along the beach along the surf - that was quite enough.
Summing up the weather and water - our summer (in the middle lane) is 24 on the street, the water is about 20 (it feels like I didn’t measure it), in general we swim at home and it’s not a problem there. Very comfortable climate, no dust,
Spending time: we constantly walked everywhere (along the promenade, along the streets, along the beaches), rode buses, took excursions. They did not take the car, they decided to leave this idea for the next time. I promised to tell you why Costa Adeje is not Las Americas - in Las Americas, more intense and hectic life, much more people (crowds), plus blacks scurrying everywhere, selling you something, dirtier, worse beaches, denser buildings, less nature - in Costa Adeje, all this is not there, a calm measured life, walks along the promenade, a respectable audience, there are no blacks. Excursions were taken to the Teide volcano, Maska Valley and a catamaran on the ocean. We liked everything, we want to go to Teide again, but with a funicular. The remaining excursions and a visit to the capital were left for the next trip. Shopping - there is a choice, everyone needs what they need, the prices are reasonable, even lower than ours (for some goods), cheap alcohol (liqueurs are rubbish), good shoes (but not cheap), I could not find a store with classic suits for men ( maybe they don't wear them.... ). It should be noted a fly in the ointment - our airline (I will not name), the weight of luggage is only 10 kg per person (plus 5 kg of hand luggage - they are also weighed)! We arrived, we had a suitcase for two of 18 kg, so you yourself understand that either bringing from there is a problem or you have to go light (by the way, they feed on the plane - lousy).....
Summary: We will definitely go again (most likely not alone), we really liked the climate, the place, nature, relaxation, the ocean..... In general, I liked everything there, I recommend it to everyone!

Greetings! Canary Islands. Tenerife. For a very long time I chose a hotel for price and quality, and I myself, using European resources for evaluating vacationers. Selected 1 of the best hotels in its category. Discounted price 2950 euros (2 adults + 1 child. The price was 2-3 days. Should be caught. So first things first.

Greetings!
Canary Islands. Tenerife.
For a very long time I chose a hotel for price and quality, and I myself, using European resources for evaluating vacationers. Selected 1 of the best hotels in its category. Discounted price 2950 euros (2 adults + 1 child. The price was 2-3 days. Should be caught.
So first things first.
UIA flight 6 hours 30 minutes (excellent), back 7-05 (the flight was delayed for 7 hours back, food stamps were issued at the airport, mediocre). The flight was not tiring, feeding 2 times, drinking 3 times.
Rio Arecas pleasantly pleased, and in all respects, starting with the resettlement - 5 points. We arrived late (I also went to a late dinner - at 02-00 at night after arrival, class), settled quickly. At the reception and in the restaurant they speak many languages, except for Russian, so that those who do not know English have certain difficulties.
We got a room on the 1st floor overlooking the pool and lawn, not bad. But the next day they asked for the 4th floor, after 2 days we received it with a respectful letter from the administration and a bottle of red wine with an apology that we could not immediately give the number that we wanted. In a word - the level of the German network of Rio is on top.
So breakfast for 4 * is simply gorgeous: 4 types of freshly squeezed juice (melon-watermelon, papaya-mango, multi-frutti, banana). Champagne twice a week. Food for breakfast is excellent: bacon, tuna, cheeses, sausages - an excellent choice, in short, everyone can find what they want.
Dinner surpassed all mental and unimaginable wishes:
everything is very tasty - this is breaded squid, king prawns, salmon, there are also enough meat dishes, 1 time in 2 weeks there was black and red caviar, of course not Astrakhan, but still.
And what is pizza 4 cheese, including Dor Blue. It is impossible to describe everything delicious, you have to go and try it.
RESTAURANT - 5++.
The hotel operates on the HB system. But this is enough to believe with your head.
The hotel is well located. There is a place to walk, a wonderful embankment, an evening sea breeze... Ehh.
Beach.
Located 7-10 minutes walk. It is one of the best in Tenerife and is called from memory Del Duque. Very big.
Air in the afternoon 32. In the evening 23-24, what more could you want.
Ocean (water 24 in the morning - 25 in the evening. The clearest water and azure color on the left side, from the entrance (at the end of the beach).
For 15 days of rest, there was both calm and a storm, when the wave overtook tourists even at the very top of the beach. Class.
Very good sand. We were 4 and 7 years old with children, you can swim when there are no waves (but it’s better at the beginning, there are smaller waves, or in the middle, there are a little more waves, but the water is many times cleaner --- we went there all the time).
Excursions - we took a car and drove ourselves to Loro Park (an hour and a half to go, the rating is excellent). Here is the largest collection of parrots in the world. Show of whales (5 pieces), dolphins, awesome show of seals and walruses, penguins.
We went by bus to Aqualand. Emotions flood with every memory. Especially the highest and steepest slide Kamikaze in the tunnel with sharks, makes the heart beat up to 180 beats per minute, many stand in line, but at the last moment they leave. Attractions are class for youth, adults and children. Everything is available and cheap.
In general, Tenerife is a magical island both in terms of location and sensations.
I advise everyone both the hotel and the rest there, at least once in a lifetime. And on the second you will definitely come back. Believe a sophisticated tourist with experience.
Would we return to this hotel, definitely yes.
