Apr 24, 2025Rui relationship Ends here…
We were there as a family for 9 nights… We have been to many RIU’s before and were a great fan of them.. This Rui Buenavista has literally disappointed us.. The Rooms are good The staff is Good Food is really bad and they don’t change it at all.. the Breakfast The lunch the dinner. They don’t change it and food is always cold.. Entertainment is poor bad and really Basic nothing exiting like the ones I have seen in other Rui’s They have 5 pools including one kids pool. One is a kids pool One is a adults only pool One is a infinity pool which is cold 2 are family pools which are small and 100 people in each of them.. hardly any space… Will not recommend this Rui to anyone and will not be using Rui’s anymore

Apr 24, 2025Huge resort, mostly good, playa pariso is quiet and small
Hotel is huge. Always lots of sunbeds even late morning, but mostly in areas without shade later in the day. Everything very clean. Lots of pools to chose from which we're warm. We had 2 bedroom family suite. 3 rooms in all, best we have ever had for a family with teens. See you tube for videos. Entertainment was a let down. In house team were one of the poorest we have seen, and little of it too. Guest acts were OK. Food was plentiful, hot, freshly cooked and generally OK. But , there was very little variety. I know it's an all inclusive buffet, but you generally get the staples and things are added each night. Here it was the same for lunch and dinner every day save for a different meat or fish dish. What was there was good just no variety. Drinks were good with lots of self service so not much queuing. Playa pariso resort is small, on a hill and quiet. Few bars, shops and restaurants, nothing much. All hotels seemed to be all inclusive so not much call for eating out. So, huge hotel, lots of space but busy. Great rooms, clean food and Entertainment could be better. Staff all brilliant.

Lovely holiday, just as good as Dominican.
We were pleasantly surprised about the hotel! To start the staff on the reception desk were mainly helpful. Shout out to the girl with the tattoos she couldn't do more to help when we were hiring a mobility scooter for my husband & also making sure we had a close sunbed by the pool. The rooms were OK we requested a quiter room and we do feel we got this the balcony faced the car park wich we didnt mind. The rooms quickly got dusty even though they were cleaned ever day (I guess its just a dusty place no fault of the hotel). One day we were left a towel with a big hole in it wich was disappointing. We were on floor 3 and some morning we had to wait a long time for the lift for the mobility scooter as they were often full up and down. The food & drinks served in this place were excellent. We enjoyed the buffet and didn't get chance to try out the Asian or Italian restaurant. The grill restraint was disappointing and we wouldn't like to return. The food was always fresh and there was plenty to choose from. Loved the seafood night! We opted for this hotel as we were not bothered about going out much we just wanted a relaxing week away and this is what we had. From inside the hotel this was great I would not belive you if you told me we were in Spain, this was on par with holiday to the carrabien for me and my husband. Over all a good 4 star experiance and we would return.

Great Winter Escape with Family
We spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve 2024 at Riu Buenavista in Tenerife with our family, and we had a fantastic time. We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, which was perfect for us. The hotel is rated 4 stars and offers almost all the facilities you’d expect — although there’s no spa, everything else was great. As adults, we mainly enjoyed the quiet pool area, which was very relaxing. Our room had a view towards the Hard Rock Hotel, and it was peaceful both day and night. The food was good overall, and we especially appreciated the special dinners for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, which we enjoyed at the ocean-view restaurant (reservations are required in advance for those evenings). Every evening there was entertainment and music, and on New Year’s Eve, the hotel hosted a lively and well-organized party that everyone enjoyed. All in all, we had a lovely time and definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxed, all-inclusive holiday.

Husband became ill 3 days into holiday.
Hotel looks clean and staff work hard.The first few days we found food Ok Nothing special. The drinks were very poor Beer was very watered down and When I did go up to try a cocktail They were made up on the bar sitting for hours. We saw people bringing their own alcohol from supermarket.My husband became ill and so spent all our time in the room isolating from other guests. I do think Food temperatures should be checked regularly in main Restaurant.My husband is a meat eater I am vegetarian. I was not affected by sickness or worst. I went to see TUI Rep ( Babs) I felt it was my duty to tell her of my husband being I’ll. she said Holiday makers bring it to the island . Terrible attitude.On the coach to the airport to return to Uk We did learn that many had experience the same symptoms.We complained to TUI Uk . They denied any knowledge of sickness at This Hotel .Its just not Good Enough
