We just returned from the most magical vacation at the Ritz Abama in Tenerife, and honestly, five…read morestars 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!

We stayed at Abama for our 15-year wedding anniversary. Drawn to the island for its wines, we…read morefound it far from the winemaking areas that we were most interested in visiting - however, the drive around the island was stunning and we enjoyed the privacy of the resort. The staff was universally helpful and friendly. The grounds were immaculate and we loved the private feel of the beach, even though it was a public beach. We tried almost all of the restaurants, and never had a bad meal. We appreciated the breakfast, which was included, and the focus on local fruits and produce. We would love to revisit this resort.

Once again, my husband and I, came back to this lovely hotel. We had previously stayed in a garden…read morefacing suite, but on this occasion,we decided on a city facing one. From our two balconies we enjoyed views of the Parque García Sanabria, the city and the sea. The suite is spacious, bright and airy, with modern and uncluttered decoration. Bed and furniture are very comfortable. The bathroom had a walk in shower, separate bath, double basin and separately enclosed toilet. We had a spacious walk in closet with a safe. The welcome macaroons, coffee machine and unlimited water were a nice touch. During our stay we visited again the spa; enjoying the spa circuit (thalassotherapy, heated outdoor spa pool, jacuzzi, plunge pools, sauna and steam rooms) and a 70 minute essential massage (I believe we paid £110 per person or so). While at the spa, I decided to get a facial treatment, this was also very good. The facilities are very well maintained and look elegant and uncluttered. The hotel itself and grounds are classic and elegant but have been renovated with a modern twist (I think the hotel was bought by Iberostar and renovated around 2014). You can still see the lovely marble all throughout the reception and the stairs, the lovely chandeliers and parquet flooring. The outdoor garden is lush and green, it's a very nicely tucked away gem in the heart of the city. The location is superb, you are across the street from the park, a few streets from the beach, museums, the Nuestra Señora del África market, etc... Regarding the food: we had breakfast at the hotel. There's a decent selection of pastries, bread, cereals. A small selection of a la carte options, some cheese, cold cuts, caviar, limited fruit. I would have liked some better quality fruits and more vegetarian friendly options but I understand the fruit and veg is limited and of poorer quality due to the geolocation of Tenerife (however I saw very good quality ones at the market a few streets away from the hotel!). During our stay we visited the bar for after dinner drinks, the Mango mule was absolutely delicious and had a tasty edible lemon straw. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout the whole stay. I would most definitely come back. If you want to see the real Tenerife, you must stay in Santa Cruz, La Laguna or La Orotava.

We used the map he gave us and his recommendations throughout our entire stay. We enjoyed the accommodations and amenities. The Restaurants and bars offer great food and drink with great service. The towel animals were so adorable, the children visiting seemed to really enjoy them. The only complaint would be that our bathtub backed up and caused the toilet to flood, the only remedy we were offered until the next morning was extra towels. That was on the first night of our stay, first thing the next morning we were in a new room.

The food here was fine and very reasonably priced. However, it was nothing to write home about. I…read moresaw the five star reviews and I was expecting magic. Instead, I got OK pork and fries and a so-so red wine that I can't even remember the name of. Again, nothing wrong with the food but nothing special. The service was very nice and I think it's a fine option for lunch if you're in the area.

Last year we had beef and rabbit which were excellent. This year I had the best duck confit I've ever had while my husband had lamb and it was truly delicious. The service is excellent if Miguel who is a sommelier is there. He actually remembered us from last year. And since he is a sommelier, do ask him for recommendation on wine. We've never been disappointed by his choice. Make a reservation whether you stay at the hotel or not. I think the maximum guests is 15 (and not arriving at the same time) which is reasonable though given there's only one waiter and one chef and one assistance in the kitchen.

The hotel is huge with numerous restaraunts and swimming pools. The food is great and there are plenty of it and despite it being a buffet you never really have to queue as there are is so much to choose from spread out over a massive beautiful dining room. Words cannot describe the look of the hotel and I highly recommend you find their website and check it out. The facilities, location, food and staff are fantastic and we will definately be returning (no I don't work there or own it - I wish!).
