The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama

Treat Yourself and book the Ritz Carlton Abama. We will coming back every few years for the luxury experience they deliver. Rooms are spacious and clean. Pool and beach area are very relaxing. The cocktails are pricey but tasty. Try to experience all the restaurants on the resort. Spa was exceptional. Friendly staff that couldn’t do more for every guest.

Overall, this is a beautiful hotel. The building is a gorgeous red, the pool facilities are nice, and there is a private beach. The breakfast buffet was also well equipped and the kindness of all employees here was exceptional. However, some things let me down, which I felt shouldn’t be the case at all 5 star hotel that is of a higher price category than other hotels in the region. Despite being fully booked, the hotel still felt quiet which was nice. 1. The funicular to the beach was broken, so to walk fr the main hotel to the beach takes 10-15 minutes. There is a train but this comes every 30 minutes, which could be more frequent. The walk is uphill and tiring on the return for older clients. 2. The beach had a cliffside next to it which had graffiti on it. This can easily be painted over and really takes away from the luxury. 3. The ‘beach club’ looks a bit worn down and is not as luxurious as portrayed in the photos. 4. One day, cleaning of the room was only done around 4pm and required 3 calls to check if they would be coming. 5. I specifically asked for separated beds and was promised that they would be two beds, but arrived to my bedroom to find one king sized bed. I then had to call to ask for this to be sorted, and wait half an hour for this. A small detail but disappointing as I asked twice before check in!

After a disastrous stay at the Crystal Apartments Tenerife, I moved to the Ritz-Carlton – Abama and was thrilled to be back in more salubrious surroundings.| |Whilst I wouldn’t normally be a fan of such a large hotel complex (circa 450 rooms), I was pleasantly surprised by the sense of tranquillity throughout the resort. The hotel has mastered the art of making a large luxury property feel intimate and uncrowded.| |The property has Moorish-inspired architecture, views of the Atlantic Ocean and La Gomera island, offers 3 main pools with thoughtful landscaping and generous spacing between loungers and access to the beach.| |The staff were well trained with the ability to strike the perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion. All service flowed effortlessly and felt natural, unscripted and warm.| |My room was large, spacious and modern, offering all the facilities required to enjoy a perfect stay. It featured a private terrace, king sized bed, table, sofa, handcrafted furniture, and marble bathrooms with both a rainfall shower and deep-soaking tub.| |I’d highly recommend dinner at El Mirador, where you can watch the sun set and enjoy the excellent local seafood.| |This resort exemplifies everything you’d expect of the Ritz-Carlton brand.

An amazing resort! If it’s sun and amazing food you’re after, then this is the place to be. It is a little dated in some places and good to hear the swimming pools are being refurbished in Jan ‘25 as they are in desperate need of it. If you want to be within steps of the beach then it’s also good to know that the hotel beach is a big trek down/up a large hill (there is an option of transport every 30 minutes though). Overall, we loved our stay and loved all the amazing food!

The hotel certainly surpassed expectations, the room was very well appointed, very clean and great complimentary toiletries. ||The whole hotel was very clean and well maintained and the amenities were very good. ||Breakfast had all you could think of, and again was good quality. The only criticism would be that in the quiet area a number of young children were allowed, which meant the area wasn’t quiet. Personally not a problem, but they could enforce this better.||We dined at most the restaurants, and in everyone the service was fantastic, with very good quality and (for a resort of this quality) was reasonably priced.||The beach service was good, we are beach people not pool, so can’t comment on the pool.||We have had a great week getting some sun, and would definitely return.

We thought the highlights of the hotel were the outstanding food offerings across many of the restaurants, and also the excellent Villas Club offering serving complimentary drinks and tapas all throughout the day besides all of the villa pools. The staff working around these pools were incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay really enjoyable. We had a couple of issues during our stay with our room and found the hotel reception staff not particularly helpful at swiftly resolving them which was a little disappointing. Overall the hotel club villas section is very nice for a getaway for a bit of sun - but you do pay a price for it!

We just came back from the most magical vacation at the Ritz Abama in Tenerife, and honestly, five stars aren’t enough to describe how incredible the experience was. I don’t think we’ve ever been to a more stunning resort. The Ritz redefines luxury and sets a new standard for what a resort can be. From the moment we arrived and were welcomed by name at the gate, we were treated like royalty. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel special every moment. It’s all in the details: twice-daily housekeeping, super-fast room service, a responsive concierge, their own locally sourced water bottles, even the valet was on top of things. It’s hard to overstate how perfect it all was. The property itself is breathtaking. There are multiple pools (including an adults-only one), several restaurants (with a Michelin-starred spot), gorgeous ocean views, and a breakfast that blew every other hotel we’ve stayed at out of the water. They even have a private beach that you can reach by their own cable car. Every inch of the resort just oozes luxury. During our stay, we mentioned we were getting married, not expecting much, but the staff went out of their way to make the day even more special. From balloons and desserts sent to our room, to coming back from the ceremony to find “I love you” spelled out in rose petals on our bed — the service was just on another level. Thank you to the Abama staff for making our stay unforgettable. We absolutely can’t wait to return!

The Ritz-Carlton resort in Tenerife is a truly stunning destination. The hotel rooms are beautiful, spacious, and many offer breathtaking sea views, which made our stay even more memorable. The entire resort is designed with luxury and comfort in mind, and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. The staff were excellent—friendly, attentive, and always eager to help, ensuring we had everything we needed. The restaurants were fantastic, serving a variety of delicious dishes with excellent service. We stayed during the last week of the seasonal holidays, but despite the busy period, there was still plenty of space to relax, especially for the kids in the pool area. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for families. Overall, it’s an incredible place to unwind, with luxury, beautiful views, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We just returned from the most magical vacation at the Ritz Abama in Tenerife, and honestly, five stars aren't enough to describe how incredible our experience was. I don't think we've ever visited a more stunning resort. The Ritz redefines luxury and sets a new standard for what a resort should be. From the moment we arrived -- where we were welcomed by name at the gate -- we were treated like royalty. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel special every moment. It's the attention to detail: twice-daily housekeeping, swift room service and concierge responses, their own locally sourced water bottle, the car valet guys also being on top of it... the list goes on. The property is simply breathtaking. There are several pools, including an adults-only one, multiple restaurants (including a Michelin-starred option), stunning ocean views, a breakfast that outshines any hotel we've ever stayed at, and even a private beach, where guests are taken down via the hotel's cable car. Every corner of the resort exuded luxury. We mentioned we were getting married during our stay, not expecting much, but the staff went above and beyond to make our special day even better. From balloons and desserts delivered to our room to coming back from the ceremony and finding "I love you" spelled out in rose petals on our bed -- the service was on another level. Thank you, Abama staff, for making our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return!

Struggled with the check in process which was a bad way to start a holiday. Typically expect a Ritz to handle details better.

Love the resort! Great spacious rooms with a view. Breakfast is included. The rooms are cleaned twice a day. Water and suntan lotion at the beach and pool. For those that left it in the room. Hospitality is top notch. Everyone is helpful and everything is great. Highest standards are held here.

The Abama Beach is a great little secluded cove with blue water, calm waves for families and even some rocks to jump off at low tide. It is run by the Ritz so when we booked the beach club restaurant for lunch we expected "Ritz like" quality. The view was the show but from tip to tail this experience was a disaster. We were 6 and menu is average to start with nothing particularly Canarian and could have been the Ritz in any country. We ordered simple dishes as fish was out (always nice to not have enough of the fish if the day) - burgers, salad, chicken. The first issue was they mixed our tables and gave our food to the next and then the dominos started. They brought meals out in random order so none of us ate together. One burger was wrong, the other was raw, the croquettes were cold, the salad bland and even the lemon we order for the water never came. It was a circus! Our waitress was so embarrassed that she could barely speak and this would have all been ok if the manager would have made it right but for some reason he doubled down and just ignored it ! This was supposed to be the sure thing..... go to ritz beach club for great lunch on the sea... right? As a Platinum Bonvoy for life that has stayed 1000 Ritz nights... this was my all time worst experience. Wow.

Best vacation of my life. Princess treatment and the best care by every worker in there. Truly felt like a luxury stay. Anything we needed was done for us within seconds. All of the restaurants were beautiful and unique. The room was absolutely stunning and the best shower of our lives. Lovely beach, with great tanning chairs and amazing service. The breakfast buffet was exceptional (not to mention the tasty caviar) and had everything you could ever want. Parking is easy if you want to rent a car. Otherwise, they offer efficient transportation at all times. Highly recommend kabuki and the beach club.

I recently enjoyed my stay at the Ritz Cartlon Abama. Full disclosure...my objectivity may be jaded as this was a business trip reward from my company. It is an annual pilgrimage for the top sales performers at my company. It is a 5 night trip to a different location and you are able to table your spouse/guest. This year was the island of Tenerife in the canary islands....Ritz Carlton Abama. The hotel is quite lovely, tremendous location with at least 7 pools and a private beach. 3 things made this trip very special. The room, I was given the most beautiful villa overlooking the infinity pool, ocean and cliffs. The service, the staff was outstanding. Anything I needed was taken care of in a NY minute Spending quiet time with my wife. 2 downsides Being in the villas, we would gave to call for a buggy (golf cart) to be transported to main reception. We could have hiked it but hell...I am on vacation The most I ever waited was 10 minutes. Most times we were picked up within 2 minutes. We were given buffet breakfast seats daily, the food was very good but the menu was the same daily and they never offered Eggs Benedict which is fat boy Johnnys favorite breakfast food. The first night they had a pool side party for us, between my company and the Ritz they did an outstanding job. Poolside Paella making, chafing dishes with spanish specialties....fantastic 2 other nights we had time on our own. Shuttle busses available....we hit de las americas area and found an outrageous tapas grill (review to come later) The last evening we had a white party on the beach. Again the food was fantastic. There are several restaurants on site including rooms service. Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to dine inside the restaurants. I had service at the pool and service at a lounge. Both times the food was delicious. Seevice at the pool was over the top, towels, ice, cocktails etc was excellent The Ritz Carlton is still top of the line for me.

The facility, food and stuff are great! We got to use the private beach, cable car and harbor, plus a few of pool side restaurants. Only wifi going down getting annoyed my friends, while I enjoy vacation from social networking. :-)

What a terrible place! Had the unfortunate luck to be there for the new year. The promised party did not happen. We had to rush out to another place at the last minute. Needless to say this was not ideal on New Year's Eve! This place is a mess. The golf carts used to ferry people around run on diesel! The fumes are unbelievable! Why oh why not use electric carts like a lot of other places? Just one of the many things overlooked. It's noisy, smelly, messy and just a disaster generally. Almost a fawlty towers like experience!

Awesome views. Exceptional Service. Great food! This place is fantastic! We went kidless and found great spots that were adult only. For the folks with kiddos it appears to also be a solid choice. The main pool was geared around families and they look several activities kids looked to be having a great time at.
