Great location and excellent service, but Sleep Quality Needs Improvement
We had a pleasant stay overall, with many things to like about this hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach, and it’s a great base for exploring Tenerife. The property is beautifully maintained with plenty of greenery, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel offers two swimming pools, and guests can also use a third pool at the nearby sister property, which is a nice bonus. The food was consistently good, everything was very clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
There were, however, a few disappointing aspects. We were surprised to find out that drinks during dinner are not included and must be paid for, as this wasn’t mentioned to us during check-in. The soundproofing is also very poor. We were woken up at 4 a.m. by guests talking loudly in the hallway, and unfortunately we didn’t sleep well because noise travels easily through the hotel. The beds were also firmer than we would have liked.
Another downside was the spa closing at 6 p.m., which felt quite early for guests who spend the day sightseeing. Finally, although reserving sunbeds is officially not allowed, many guests did it anyway, and the staff didn’t seem to enforce the rule, making it difficult to find available loungers later in the morning.
Overall, this is a clean, well-located hotel with excellent service and good food, but improvements to noise insulation and enforcing the sunbed policy would make the experience even better.
Excellent hotel

Brilliant, will be going back.
This was my first adults only holiday and it was amazing. There are no activities at the hotel, which was absolutely fine, but there are a whole load of the most beautiful shopping centres and eateries in very close proximity and some lovely walks to be had. There is an amazing market a short walk away a couple of days a week. The hotel itself was great, couldn't fault it. Great atmosphere, the rooms were lovely, the beds were very comfortable (most important), it was spotlessly clean, the food was wonderful, the staff were great, loads of sunbeds and the private beach and pools are amazing. I have never gone back to the same hotel twice in all my life but I will definitely be going back to this one!

FABULOUS!!!
Amazing food, great staff, and a wonderful stay! We had a fantastic time at the Hotel Riu Arecas. The food throughout our stay was absolutely amazing with a great variety of delicious options. Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, but a special shoutout goes to Roberto on reception. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after. The rooms were spacious and immaculate. The pools were amazing and lovely and warm! Great location on Playa del Duque. The excellent service at this hotel, combined with the relaxing adults-only atmosphere, made our mini break absolutely perfect. We highly recommend this hotel and have already booked to return in September!
Fantastic hotel
First time going to Tenerife as we always have done Turkey, hotel recommended by our travel agent who has been to Tenerife several times. Honestly, this hotel is fantastic, rooms are very clean, spacious bathroom and a great pool area, bar staff can't help you enough, gym is decent, we used it four times while staying at the hotel. Food, wow, its some of the nicest food we have had in any country, amazing choice with tasty meats and fish every night, breakfast has a range of options, omelet freshly made, fruit as much as you like and yogurt, washed down with prosecco. Staff so friendly. My only gripe is the location, if you don't mind walking its great but anyone who struggles with mobility, its not the best. Overall its still a fantastic hotel, highly recommended
