Wow—just WOW! The couples massage my husband and I received from Diana and Barbara was truly *out of this world*! Hands down the **best** massages we’ve had in ages. I knew my husband was in heaven the moment I heard those relaxed, happy snores!
Diana and Barbara were beyond amazing—so warm, so attentive, and completely focused on making sure everything was perfect for us. The spa itself was spotless, peaceful, and the very definition of relaxation.
This experience was an absolute **10/10… honestly, more like 12/10!** We will *definitely* be back!

The River villas are amazing, own pool that offers access to a pool that looks and feels like a river - it connects all the pool villas. The price is very good for the ammenities and location. Staff is very polite everyday, in every situation. The room service food could have been tastier - the restaurant food during the day is amazing. And the rooms should be better equipped because this is a 5-stat hotel. Should you book it? Of course. Do I feel like coming back for more. Of course.

Absolutely fabulous hotel with equally fabulous staff.
This is an adult only resort and is just perfect for a peacefully quiet relaxing stay.
Every detail, to ensure your personal needs are catered for has been considered. The exceptional personal service at breakfast and evening meal is unrivalled.
We personally would recommend b&b and select the nights you require evening meals in the hotel. The food is outstanding, very rich, beautifully presented, with huge portions, but for us the menu was quite restricted over an eleven night stay, especially if you cannot eat fish, or dislike steak tartare. We would have preferred a couple of nights with very plain food.
You will need to take a taxi or hire a car if you want to get around. The hotel is quite isolated with no local shops in close proximity, but that adds to the totally relaxed atmosphere.
If you want a thoroughly relaxing holiday this is the hotel. Everything about it is outstanding.
We are very much looking forward to our return visit in 2026.

We have returned to Royal River 5 or 6 times in the last couple of years and can say the whole experience is amazing.
We have always stayed in a River Villa, which has a large bed, bathroom/dressing room, living area and outdoor terrace. There is a small pool which leads out into the ‘river’ where you can swim between villas.
The spa is so tranquil and relaxing and the massages/facials are excellent.
The food/restaurants cater for everyone and there is everything you can imagine at breakfast. We particularly enjoy the musicians who play at some breakfast/dinner times (violin, harp, piano).
The entire hotel is clean and spotless and the landscaping around the hotel is lovely.
The staff really make the experience, they are all so friendly and always like a joke. They recognise us when we return which makes it extra special and all employees are the same each time which says a lot.
A special shout out to all the restaurant staff who we like to chat to and are always fantastic.
We are very sad we won’t be coming back for a little while as we’re expecting our first child (hotel is adults only). However we will come to the sister hotel next door and return to Royal River when we can.

We stayed a week at the Royal River Hotel in Tenerife and absolutely loved it! It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive and the whole resort looks stunning, every corner feels thoughtfully designed.
Our villa was spacious, private and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. It felt like being in our own little bubble away from the world.
