Royal Hideaway Corales Beach

This really is a top notch hotel. The rooms are large, well planned and luxurious. The restaurants are all excellent at both this hotel and the Corales Suites next door. The pool and communal areas are well thought out and very comfortable. What makes the difference though is the staff, they know their roles well, do everything with a natural warmth and always have a smile for you, whether it’s the lovely ladies who clean the rooms, the waiters or the pool guys. Management are to be commended, this kind of service doesn’t happen by chance, you need a well trained and contented staff and they certainly have this at the Corales beach.

After having booked our week at the Royal Hideaway Adult suites i was delighted to read the most amazing reviews here on Trip Advisor.......and to a man (and woman) they were spot on correct - this is a tip top hotel! Our 4th floor Junior suite was superb if maybe a little chilly at times in the evening - but easily solved - they provided a small heater! Ultra modern and totally spotless with every single amenity. Ok, i guess if you like more privacy in the bathroom area then this may not be for you....the toilet and shower (brilliant ceiling rainfall shower) are enclosed behind frosted glass doors leaving only the stand alone bath and two basins fully exposed. One of the other secrets of this hotels success is their staff - outstanding, especially the guys and ladies who help you around the wonderful 5th floor pool / bar/ chill area and the DJ who plays from 5pm till sunset gave us the most relaxing hour of the day! We had the half board deal as it was offered on our package and similar to the other Trip Advisors thought the breakfast buffett was excellent - sadly my wife and i arent really breakfast people but the layout and selection was outstanding especially the juice/ smoothie bar. Our only criticism (and it is the only criticism) surrounds the evening buffett. Now i must preface this by saying that we really dont like buffet's, but we felt that there was some "room for improvement" here on the main courses. Its also quite nice to be sitting outside even on a chilly evening with wonderful space age looking patio heaters around you. Finally, we ate in the Italian restaurant "Il Bocconcino di Olivia" which i shall review separately - i will say this......one of the best Italian meals i have ever had!! This hotel is set in a quiet (clearly growing) area called La Calete and a distance from the main Costa Adeje, but oh so much quieter and you are still only minutes away from shops and some excellent restaurants. We absolutely loved it and will no doubt return next year.
