Amazing rooms and hotel. Dropped one star as the food is a bit hit and miss (either good or average) - but there is a restaurant down the road that serves higher quality food (for a price)
Staff are wonderful - the hotel itself is fantastic (and kid free - yay!) - the water villas where your “private” plunge pool that joins into the main “river” is truly beautiful.
I have to say that the designer of the hotel is award winning - spectacular decor.
Certainly will come again.

Great relaxed atmosphere. Cool concept with the river. Quietness and the birds chirping in the background. I think thats what one should expect from an adults only hotel :)
The cleanliness, however, could be better, hand towel had a yellow stain and the outside bedspreads and cushions were dirty. It can be attributed to the overall Spanish lifestlyle and attitude to life, I guess. :)
Breakfast is a 3,5 stars. Nothing really special and lack of choice. However, we stayed only 1 night, so was not so critical.

In September 2023, we were lucky enough to spend nine fantastic nights at the Royal River Hotel in Tenerife. As soon as we arrived, we felt an atmosphere that combined professionalism with a warm, almost family-like cordiality. Every member of the team was incredibly attentive and dedicated.
The hotel itself is like a magical kingdom. Every room is a little paradise, full of loving details. The pool area is particularly impressive - a real design highlight. The wellness area is a wonderful, peaceful oasis where you can relax and unwind with fantastic massages.
In the morning, a breakfast buffet awaited us that left nothing to be desired. From hearty treats to sweet delicacies, plus fresh fruit, muesli, cheese and sausage - a dream start to the day.
The hotel team really stood out, especially with their friendly and dedicated manner. The hotel manager Daniela Tadialova deserves special praise. Her attention to detail and warm-hearted manner made the stay extra special.
For anyone looking for a very special place, this hotel is the perfect choice. We can hardly wait for our next visit!

Highly recommended without hesitation. Definitely worth the splurge. It's absolutely gorgeous, facilities and service are exceptional. Multiple pools, restaurants, good gym, spa free to use as desired, great buffet breakfast. Exceeded expectations at every turn. Quiet & relaxing. We cannot wait to go back. We didn't want to be close to the busy touristy parts of Tenerife so it was perfect but if that's your thing, there's a bus or a long walk. Hiking was easy to access without a car. I'd bring hiking boots next time as there was more opportunity for that than we'd realised although doing nothing was pretty great too.

The place is absolutely amazing and the decor is great. However, the food is disappointing and needs a lot of improvement given the price tag. (The Surf and Turf and the Wagyu Burger in the Top Bar lacked flavour and needs a lot of work to justify the price. Also the fruit (particularly the melon) from the breakfast tasted of absolutely nothing which was impressive.
FYI - The bed in our pool villa consisted of 2 single beds that were pushed together (with a big gap in between) that kept moving apart. This is not very good for couples. This was questioned with reception who told me they would sort this with 'special sheets' but this was not actioned by the hotel.
I would recommend the hotel but would go to some of the local restaurants for much better food at reasonable cost. Unless 14 euros for a cone of chips hits the spot.
