Top 10 Watermelon Hotels

This is an absolutely outstanding hotel with impeccable staff. If you are looking for peace, tranquility and stunning surroundings then this is the perfect hotel for you. Our room was the royal river room I believe it's the basic room, but when we walked in we felt like we'd arrived at a Maldivian island (we've visited there twice). The room was very large with a separate sitting room, double closing doors to the bedroom and then a double sink bathroom with a beautiful bath and rainfall shower. Outside there was a smallish pool similar to what you'd get in an over water villa in the Maldives, a gorgeous double bed, egg chair and corner sofa which we used in the evening for drinks. From our pool you could swim out to the river and take some amazing photos of the tree canopy covered river. They offer theme food nights we did the Asian and French nights both of which were incredible. But it is only a 5 min taxi ride to caleta where there are many other restaurants too. My husband had a small issue with hotel laundry with an expensive shirt however duty manager Daniella was incredibly professional, concerned and helpful she recompensed us for the cost of the shirt. And aside that in all our dealings with her she is clearly a real asset to this hotel. The only very slight comment is about the bathroom soap/shampoo dispensers they seem a bit cheap which was a complete surprise given that EVERY fitting in this hotel is clearly very expensive. It wasn't a problem just an observation. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay and we will most certainly be back.

2nd visit to the Rui Palace Tenerife, absolutely fantastic and will return again. The hotel is spotless, the service is excellent, really good choice of food for both breakfast and evening meal and a visit to both of the a la carte restaurants are a must. We stayed in a partial sea view room allocated on the 5th floor - perfect, very quiet. Hotel entertainment is good and a drink on the terrace is worth it. Great location, particularly if you wish to be away from, but close enough, to the centre of Adeje. Good walking available in both directions along the sea front.

My family and I stayed at this hotel in February 2024 and genuinely say we had a wonderful time. When you arrive at the hotel and walk into the entrance, you are impressed and the same feeling continues. As you walk around the hotel see the beautiful pools. The landscaping and the karen attention has been taken to ensure your stay is luxurious. . The food in resturants was excellent, and I I do particularly want to call out the main restaurant which we found the choice to be excellent service to be excellent and as of vegetarian I never struggled for choice. The rest of my family went as fussy as me and likewise had a fantastic experience. Plenty of choice of pools from Family one to an adult one and then some small ones, plus the infinity ball. We did not try the infinity pool as the water in there was too cold but I have to say it looked wonderful and I’m sure in the summer would be incredible to use. Where I feel Hotel could make some improvements harris follow :- ＞ it’s a bit We were reminded on a number of occasions by the waiters serving the family pool that we are only allowed to use their service twice in one day per room, after that, we would have to pay €6 per person. I believe there should be no cap, having one I found rather petty.. ＞ sports facilities were good such as Paddel and Tennis, but I was a little surprised you had to pay to use the facilities. We have stayed at other hotels, even four star and did not have to pay for the facilities. ＞ in the rooms there was clear notice that you could use the soluble coffee, but if you chose to use an nesprosso pod in the machine provided you had to pay. Likewise, you had some alcohol within the room which was all chargeable. You could drink the Coca-Cola, the water or the tonic water, but if you chose the fanta orange you had to pay. Given this is a five star hotel and all inclusive with no limit on any drinks you want to get from the bars and bring back to your room again, I feel this was petty.. Overall, a great holiday, do recommend this to other travellers, but just ask the management look at some of the comments above and change policy.

We first stayed here just as lock down was loosing its grip and we really enjoyed our stay. So much so we booked again this year ... unfortunately for us the last time, it's a really lovely hotel and so welcoming but it just lacks that something ... if we had children then absolutely all day long this would be my first option. We stayed on 10th floor sea view, star prestige, I kind of feel like it's more of a gimmick than anything special. Yes you get an endless supply of cold drinks and alcohol throughout the day but for the extra it cost it's probably cheaper to buy as you go anyway. The adults bathing area on the top floor was ok, seems to have the age old problem of people reserving beds and not showing up till the end of the day so very often there was no free sunbeds in any of the prestige areas . even one couple taking up 2 sun beds but sitting the whole day up near the hot tub . House keeping was great but for the love of god she didn't crack a single smile ,when we left we gave her €20 which she took not so much as a thank you! The lift situation is an absolute joke, as is their door card entry system. We had about 5 cards all of which would let us in different places, never the same place twice! Breakfast was ok, always really busy and just warm as you always expect. Shame because we had such a positive experience first time round ..... for me it was average. Fur coat .... no .....

Excellent is the summary. Hard to find many things at fault. A very enjoyable 5 night stay. Pool was very quiet and relaxing. Didn’t expect that in Tenerife. I thought the verde mar restaurant was truly outstanding although staff commented they have had mixed reviews- I couldn’t understand that. The food and service was just fantastic in my view. I didn’t like the El mirador restaurant at dinner (service not so good) but maybe we were just unlucky. The MB restaurant was a great experience and wine pairing made it a fun experience. Booked a villa club room and really glad we did this as the extra benefits are worth the extra cost. The rooms are currently being refurbished. We must have enjoyed the stay because we have already booked to stay next year, this time for a little longer! Look forward to returning next year.
