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 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.

I have recently returned from the Riu Arecas and overall had a very good experience but there are some downsides (not many) the positive points are well described by many other contributors so I will not expand on them.

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.

This was our third trip to Costa Adeje, i decided to book the Arecas for one week on a half board basis. We arrived around 2:30 am and was met by a very helpful member of staff, after checking in we were informed a cold meal was waiting for us. I was a dissapointed with the room that was allocated...
