Like a precious jewel in an idyllic setting, the Luxurious 5-star Boutique Hotel Royal River will open its doors on May 1, 2020.
Located in the most privileged area of the south of Tenerife, this exclusive Adults Only Resort of 50 villas with swimming pool is charmed with 3 spectacular views: the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean on the right, the green of the Costa Adeje golf course in front and the silhouette of the mountains and the Roque del Conde on the left.
Its elegant architecture and the originality of its contemporary design, together with the masterful use of natural materials from the island, make this luxury hotel a unique reference in the Canary Islands.
In its facilities, there are 29 River Suites surrounded by two large pools-river; a central pool with Cocoon loungers and tropical palm trees; 17 villas with private pool and 4 luxurious stilt houses on a lake with turquoise waters.
In order to enrich this experience of relaxation and romance, the Royal River has an infinity pool in the hotel's solarium to enjoy magnificent sunsets, a Spa with a thermal cave inspired by a Mexican cenote and a Hamman for beauty therapies inspired by Arab culture.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments and facials. You can take advantage of recreational amenities such as a health club, an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. Additional amenities at this hotel include complimentary wireless Internet access, concierge services and a banquet hall.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

So I didn't actually stay here I was staying along up the road, A Royal villas . A lovely taxi driver from the beautiful port dropped me off to river I got out unbeknown to me I was in wrong hotel only the decor i thought a different part of hotel that i had not seen lol ... so the lovely adorable sensible man on door realised I was in wrong building then kindly offered me transport to my hotel , I won't forget... things like this don't go unnoticed Royal River whoever he was a credit to you and your team. Thank-you bug hugs
My wife and I went to the Royal River for our honeymoon. The service, food, atmosphere, facilities, pools, room ... just the entire hotel, was second to none. There's a reason it has won the awards and has so many good reviews. It was perfect from start to finish. It is stunningly beautiful and kept immaculately clean. Each "room" is your own private villa. The stone roll-top bath in the middle of the bathroom is such a fantastic centre piece. We had a 1 Bedroom River Villa Roof Terrace with Sea View which was 100% worth it in my opinion. It was bliss being able to lay in privacy on your own terrace in the glorious sun (clear blue skies and 26-28 degrees in Feb). The small private pool you have that comes off the river is fantastic too; it's such a quiet hotel and privacy is maintained at all times and you can swim out into the river, which really is like a tropical paradise as birds fly between the lush green foliage. The service throughout was exceptional; you use whatsapp for any requests/room service which is just wonderful if you're lounging around on the cabana after a swim and fancy some croquettes, jug of Aperol etc! The food in all the restaurants was excellent. The spa was excellent and the massages were fantastic. I can not fault the hotel on any single point. Yes, it is relatively expensive, but there is a reason for that. It's elevated luxury, not just a "nice" 5* chain hotel, so in my opinion the price is justified. We're going to book again to come back on our anniversary as we don't want to be disappointed going anywhere else.
Love love love this hotel.
Our second stay. This time in a river villa. Lovely spacious two story villa. Clean and well furnished. Heated dip pool.
Used the spa quite a lot this time and particularly enjoyed steam room.
Ate there quite a lot and it’s very good.
But it’s the wonderful friendly attitude of all the staff that make this place special. Nothing is too much trouble.
This was a one week stop and flop and we really enjoying doing nothing.
Thoroughly recommend. We’ll be back this time next year for another recharge.
Lovely hotel. Lovely staff.
Wow. In the words of my wife, you feel like a member of the Royal family when you stay here. Having spent four nights at the sister resort (the Royal Garden) prior to arriving here we arrived with an extremely high bar to score this against and it delivered!
From the moment you walk in, the sheer luxurious quality of everything stands out - it simply oozes class. And, when you walk into the Villa (we had a Majestic Villa with Private Pool), your breath is taken away by the magnificence of the whole experience and setting.
Relaxation is integral and the resort cater for your every need with regular visits to offer replenishment of water, ice, towels, tea and coffee - what’s not to like?!
A swim in both the Green and Blue Rivers is a must, as is a chill in the jacuzzi. The Spa facilities are incredible, and for an evening meal you’ll do well to find anywhere that betters the experience of “The Top” restaurant. Incredible food, service and atmosphere.
Oh, and then there’s the poolside breakfast - wonderfully delivered and managed by Nancy, a jewel in the crown.
I can’t praise this highly enough 6 out of 5 is what I would give it if I could!
I hope we can go back again in the future but if we don’t it will be a memory that will live with us forever.
There was an article in The Telegraph newspaper about The Royal River Hotel and the article was spot on. The surroundings, views and accommodation are faultless. The hotel is graceful, sophisticated, lavish, an oasis of tranquillity and the staff, without exception, are professional and friendly without being intrusive. What The Telegraph article also said is that there are four restaurants but what it didn’t say is that there is only one open at a time. With the exception of a BBQ and an Italian evening, dinner is always in the same restaurant. Wonderful as the food is, after a stay of over a week, the menu becomes rather repetitive and just occasionally a simple pasta dish is all you want rather than fine dining. I would also say that the drinks are eye wateringly expensive and measures frugal. Surely spirit measures should be at least a double and a glass of wine large not small? We had a wonderful holiday but if we visited again it would definitely be B&B in order to go out for dinner some evenings and Royal River please review the cost, or at least the size, of your drinks.
