travelled with six friends to this hotel. Hotel is not located in the prettiest of areas, but what a suprise when entering the hotel, large bright foyer, polite and efficient reception staff. Lovely rooms, we were all allocated suites. Aparently the hotel was under occupied and this became obvious when we went down to get some sunbeds around the pool... more

We booked the Riu Buena Vista independently for one week after a looooooooooooong search for a cheap(ish) holiday to the Canary Islands. We flew with BMI (who were fantastic) on the 18th September. We landed at 10:20pm, and it took about 40 minutes to drive to the hotel from the south airport. The hotel is impressive from the outside, the... more

I have stayed in many hotels over the years and this one was one of the best. Although very busy the staff were well organised and coped admirably. The pool area was a little crowded but if you are willing to get up early for a sun bed you won't have a problem. The food i thought was very good... more
