Hotel Riu Buenavista - All Inclusive

The food is just a big disappointment. I understand it is all inclusive and I had very low expectations for the food, but is it just worse than expected. What makes this more sad, is that lots of other people comment on the same thing and it feels like the hotel has done nothing to improve the food.

How important is good food? I can live with a bad mean every now and then. But here you eat at the same place 3 times every day for a week. Then food gets really important for your vacation.

Everything else is really great in the hotel. Really nice rooms, great service, good activities. Really well done concept except the food.

I recently stayed at Hotel Riu Buenavista and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring our check-in was smooth and hassle-free.

The food was consistently excellent, with a wide variety of choices at every meal, catering to all tastes. The buffet always had fresh, delicious options, and the specialty restaurants were a real treat.

Although I’m not disabled, I truly appreciate the effort the hotel puts into providing accessible facilities for everyone. The seating areas and sun beds designated for those with disabilities are such a thoughtful touch, ensuring that all guests can enjoy their stay comfortably.

The pool areas were spotless, and there were always plenty of sun beds available, which is something I value highly on holiday. We never felt crowded, and the whole atmosphere was incredibly relaxing.

Overall, we had a brilliant time and will definitely be rebooking for 2025. I highly recommend Hotel Riu Buenavista for anyone looking for a relaxing and inclusive getaway!

Fabulous

The room was stunning with controls for the air-conditioning. The beds were comfortable. The room and linen were very clean, and the fridge in the room was cold.

The hotel is very busy, but the staff still managed to keep it clean, tidy, and maintained, and still had time to be helpful and friendly.

We never had to worry about sunbeds or waiting for drinks as there were plenty of bars and beds to choose from.

Our flight was late into the evening, so we asked for a late checkout, but unfortunately, we couldn't keep the room as the hotel was fully booked, but we were offered the use of a shower and a room to store our luggage so we could still get the most out of our last day on holiday.

We can't wait to stay again!

The resort has a very friendly staff and is spacious, featuring five swimming pools and entertainment for all ages. While the food wasn’t the best and snacks were limited (mostly leftovers from lunch), and ice cream was only available during lunch and dinner, the drinks were plentiful and all-inclusive. The resort is very clean, with spacious bedrooms, and is located in a touristic area of Tenerife, close to a shopping mall and the highway, making it a great base for exploring the island. This review includes more details, pictures, and a video to give you a better sense of the experience. You'll find additional insights on the resort, its amenities, and the overall atmosphere, offering a closer look at what to expect during your stay. Enjoy! 😉

Very clean. Friendly staff. Four restaurants, including Asian and Italian themed (both of which you can book once a week). Good selection of drinks and cocktails. 5 pools including one for small kids and one for adults only. Plenty of beds, I went down around 8.15 each morning and always managed to get 4 together, even though loads already had towels on. Went with 14 and 16yr old sons. Had one outer door and 2 rooms next to each other, each with own front door and balcony, allowing the kids (and us) a bit of independence. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was so much better than I expected. Really lovely views and staff are lovely. Very modern feel and always very very clean. It worked out cheaper for the group to get family rooms and it was so worth it. Very specious and beautiful decor. Would 100% return. It was just a shame we had some problems with the app booking into the Asian restaurant, we got the confirmation however when we went to go there had been a system problem and the booking didn’t go through. Sometimes with the all inclusive the food can be a tiny bit repetitive but the quality was always really good. The hotel is much bigger than I thought, it’s worth exploring the whole hotel when you get there to look at the pools etc. I really enjoyed going to one of the tie dye classes in the art area (just past the infinity pool at the side next door to the gym). The drinks were amazing. I just wish they did the white/neon party twice a week as when we arrived late on the Friday we missed it then leaving the following Friday we missed it again. Overall would come back to this hotel. Very impressed. To note there isn’t a huge deal around the hotel, if you walk out of the hotel and head up the hill there is a small convenient shopping centre, and more shops etc beside the Hard Rock Cafe opposite this hotel. Other than that it’s about €30 for a taxi to Costa adeje where there is a bit more night life etc.

A nice, big, clean hotel. Located further from the bustle of the city, with a superb view of the ocean from almost all rooms. The food was a bit repetitive but good and you always found something to like. Good drinks, no queues at the bar thanks to ready-made cocktails and beer, wine and juice dispensers left free. Large rooms, cleaned daily. The hotel staff is always smiling, kind, they work a lot but are ready to help. Riu Party was wow! Everyone danced and had fun. We liked it a lot, we warmly recommend it!

We stayed at the Riu Buenavista for the fourth time and are still thrilled with the hotel. The rooms are tidy and are cleaned conscientiously every day. The complex is well maintained, spacious and has something on offer for everyone. The restaurants are good and the food is varied. What makes the hotel special, however, are the people. The evening program is very diverse and both the performances by the entertainers and the shows by other artists are absolutely top class. The service and nice gestures are really available in very few hotels, which is why it's a clear 5 star rating.

Fab holiday, will definitely be back next year, ticks all the boxes for us.
Big place! We wanted some peace so the adults pool area was perfect.
Good restaurants, pools great, entertainment not what we are looking for, but looked okay.
Great views, just a really nice place, more like a village resort than a hotel.
Well maintained and very clean.
Thanks 🙏

This hotel (resort) is very nice! Stayed for 11 days. Everything is well-organized and the staff is friendly and happy to help. There is a lot of entertainment and things to do. People are more spread over the hotel grounds because there are five swimming pools, that's a positive note. There is a great variety in food, drinks and snacks all-inclusive. Some people stated that the food lacked variety, I don't agree with that. You have much choice and there is also food that can normally be expensive. Also the rooms and grounds are very clean, which is great!
The only small downside is the location, because you need to walk or take the bus to get to different towns. There is no big city nearby. But you get these insanely beautiful seaview spots in return! Nearest supermarket is on a 5-10 minute walk if you need anything else. That isn't too bad at all.
We would definitely recommend this hotel (resort)!
