Nov 09, 2025Lovely hotel in a great location.
3rd time at this hotel. Just coming to the end of a one week stay. Nearly everything about this hotel is top notch. Very friendly staff and really great service. Breakfast and dinner are both fabulous buffets with a first class choice of very nicely prepared food. 3rd floor room with a balcony and sea view is very spacious and perfectly functional. Big bed, good plumbing, large walk in shower and loads of storage space. The upper pool area has two large pools with loads of sun beds and plenty of shade. The lower area with an infinity pool, terrace bar overlooking the sea is really lovely with a beach like area with sun beds and plenty of shade from parasols and palm trees. The beach is right outside and there are nice walks either way - turn right for la Caleta or left for el Duque beach and a lovely shopping centre. The hotel and grounds are kept spotless. This week has been very busy and for the first time we’ve seen the typical hotel rush to reserve sunbeds every morning! This despite the hotel stating it’s not allowed. But everyone was doing it so we joined in the fun!! I thought I was going to be able to reserve a bed in a good spot today until the gentleman in front of me managed to cover six beds with towels in one glorious flourish!! It was very impressive to watch and made me realise I’m an amateur at this game!! But I guess it’s a symptom of such a wonderful and popular hotel that’s it’s so busy that people feel the need to play that game. Overall, a wonderful week in a really lovely hotel.

Another great stay at the Arecas
Our 9th stay at the Arecas once again ticks all the boxes. As we tend to spend most of our time down at the beach bar can I say a special thanks to Anka for looking after us.I know the standard of dress for dinner is hard to enforce but men in vests need to be thrown out in my opinion also having to inhale other guests vape smoke needs looking at especially at the beach bar and around the sun loungers. Overall a great stay booked for nxt year already.

Oct 24, 2025Another Good Riu
Large hotel in a fairly quiet location. Access to promenade via several steps although there are alternative routes to avoid these. Good sized room and balcony. Sound proofing between rooms is good however less effective between room and corridor. This can be quite noisy particularly if located on the same side as the hotel's service area. Plenty of choices on buffet for both breakfast and dinner. Hotel entertainment varies and tries to cater for different tastes. Top marks for cleanliness and the very friendly and efficient staff.
