What’s the backstory of the Royal River Luxury Hotel
As the brainchild of renowned Spanish entrepreneur, Luis Miguel Rodríguez, it was conceived out of a vision to merge ultimate luxury with the natural splendor of the island. Luis fell in love with the beauty of Tenerife on a family holiday and from a young age, daydreamed of creating a serene oasis amidst its enchanting landscape. These dreams eventually took form in the creation of the Royal River Luxury Hotel, inaugurated in 2014.
The hotel truly embodies Luis' passion for top-tier service and unparalleled environment. With an architectural design that mirrors the volcanic origins of the island, the hotel is a testament to the proprietor’s devotion towards Tenerife's heritage. The construction process itself was a labor of love, employing local craftsmen to incorporate traditional elements into the hotel's luxurious facade. The name 'Royal River' was inspired by the ancient Guanche belief that a once-mighty river birthed the island of Tenerife.
Price Range
The price range varies greatly depending on the type of accommodation selected, time of year, and the available packages. For a standard room in the off-peak season, rates start from €150 per night. During the peak holiday season, these prices can climb upwards of €300 per night. Suites and villas, with their extra space and bespoke amenities, tend to be somewhat pricier, but also significantly elevate the stay experience.
For those willing to splurge, the Royal Suite or the private luxury villas are the epitome of indulgence, starting from a robust €1000 per night. Before you wince at the price, consider the panoramic ocean views, plunge pools, and the extensive array of exclusive services that these options offer.
Amenities & Facilities
Among the hotel's standout amenities are a state-of-the-art fitness center, an on-site spa offering a myriad of rejuvenating treatments, and four impressive outdoor pools complete with pristine cabanas for when you wish to take a gentle respite from the vigorous Spanish sun.
For those of you traveling on business, the Royal River hasn't overlooked your needs. The hotel hosts a modern business center equipped with all the digital amenities you need to stay connected throughout your stay. Also, the hotel showcases several versatile meeting spaces perfect for hosting presentations or conducting important discussions. Not to mention, you can take advantage of their free high-speed Wi-Fi regardless of where you are within the hotel premises. Families haven't been left out either, with a children's play area and babysitting services available.

Overall staff is nice, but I find one thing quite weird that is the staff knock on the door before check out to check the mini bar, possiblly to see whether we consume any food and drinks. I really dont understand this, considered we paid almost €1000+ for room rate and have given our credit card for deposit. Honestly I dont think it is necessary to disturb the guest when they are still here to check the mini bar. This to me seems like not having trust in the guest, and when the staff came in and check the mini bar, I feel like it was at a point similar to interrogating criminals.
Suggest if the hotel is so scare that guests consume alcohol and not paying for it, perhaps can consider remove the expensive alcohol drinks mini bar in room.
But overall nice experience and dinning in hotel is delicious too. But more small details could take this hotel to a better stand point.
Outstanding service from Cristian . Very attentive. Made the difference .
Highly recommend !!!
