We visited this hotel for a week in May after lots of careful research & based on the excellent tripadvisor reviews. It is located in the north of the island about 1hr 15mins drive from the airport. We rented a car from Autoreisen (fantastic service & price). On the first day of our stay it was cloudy, we were worried... More

We have just returned from this lovely well managed hotel. The staff are great especially the bar staff. The food is of an extremely high standard and we were very impressed at the variety in the evenings. The room was very good with views of the sea and mountains. Have been to puerto de la cruz many times this was... More

My husband and I have stayed in Puerto a few times. We love this part of the island because it is greener and quieter than the southern resorts. We have stayed in other hotels but I have to say that this is the best. Yes it is on the outskirts of the resort in the La Paz district and walking... More

Our third stay at Riu Garoe. Great Hotel, with great staff, in a great location. We go for the peace and quiet and the rest, and it's easy to find here. We are sorry to leave, but will return soon! We have no hesitation in recommending a holiday here.

It has highly talented management & amazing staff! It's simply relaxing, low key & marvellous. As airline personnel, whom adore this island, and, who look to be accommodated in the best of... More

Just back today. The hotel and its staff are a credit to the Riu brand. We stayed here for a week and were treated to the highest standards of service. Staying on a half board basis can sometimes bring an element of repetitiveness to the food offering but hotel presented a vast and varied selection over the week that we... More

The hotel is on the outskirts of Puerto, but close to the Botanic Gardens and several nice restaurants. Excellent rooms, interesting interior decor, good service and friendly staff. Dinner is buffet style in two sittings, but don't expect a romantic candle-lit meal - bright lights and efficient service are the style here. However there's a wide range of excellent food... More

Just returned from a week here. Wonderful hotel, great facilities, food and very friendly and helpful staff. Should be a 5 star but probably not snobbish enough .The rooms and everywhere in hotel very clean, and hotel has recently been refurbished and all in tip top condition. Buffet breakfast and dinner always .offered plenty of choice and to high standard.
