Hi,

Look in the hotels reviews section under Tenerife then Tenerife Palace Hotel (RIU). There is also a few reviews on http://www.tripadvisor.com. Did you book direct with the hotel?

I stayed at the Riu Arecas which is next to the Riu Palace and was able to use the facilities of both hotels. Both excelllent, well run and in a nice location.

The only problem that we had was that when we were dropped at the hotel we found out that Portland-Direct/Thomposn had not booked our room and the hotel was full. This had happened to three other couples on that day, this is not uncommon and is the latest way for travel companies to get your money and then put you in a different hotel which is not doing very well.

Because we refused to move and because Riu Arecas found us a suite we stayed there for the week and paid the extra which we are now trying to get back from Portland-Direct/Thompson.

Suggest that you email the Riu Palace and confirm that your room is booked and then have a good holiday.

Got tickets for 12th May so emailed hotel again to check if they had now recieved booking, they replied saying they had. How relieved are we after reading previous posts of hotel being overbooked and having to be moved elsewhere also thought would ask for upgrade on room which they will try but cannot guarantee. Can anyonr comment on rooms etc

Splendid German owned resort hotel. You should not be disappointed, good choice, if not expensive! It's located at the extreme end of Costa Adeje, near the village of La Caleta. Too far to walk into Playa de Las Americas, but you will probably have all-inclusive arrangements and will not want to leave the hotel compound. Hire a car and escape to see splendour of the rest of the island. It probably hasn't changed much from the 90's, but the roads will be noticeably better.
