The Ritz-Carlton, Abama

This property is gorgeous and lived up to the expectations of staying at a Ritz-Carlton. The location and views are incredible! We're a family of 4 that visited from the U.S. We were blown away by how friendly and welcoming every single Ritz team member treated us (that hasn’t always been the case on our other trips abroad). There is so much to do without ever leaving the property (although we did enjoy a couple of trips to close-by Playa San Juan and Costa Adeje). We enjoyed the main pool, the private beach, the tennis/paddleball courts, the fitness center, and three of the restaurants. Everything was fantastic. The highlights of our stay were: • Dinner at Txoko. Daniel was such a FUN server. He took really good care of us (including treating us to a shot!) and has a great sense of humor. • The food poolside is delicious as well – get the lobster roll! • Hannah and the team at the Front Desk made sure we had beautiful rooms (with a nice note & welcome bottle of wine). They made sure we knew everything we needed to about the property. They were also a great resource for when we ventured off-property. • Dinner at El Mirador – amazing views and phenomenal food. • Convenient “mini-train” to/from the private beach (which had a bar, food service, and beach chairs). Everything about our stay was perfect. Thank you to the entire staff – you made our Canary Islands vacation an experience we will never forget!

Wonderful property and great value. Very good service. 2 MAJOR issues keeps it at 3.5 stars only (I gave it 4 to be nice though it doesn’t deserve it) and we won’t return because of it. The first is all the restaurants are booked and hotel guests are left scrambling to find dinner. For our special dinner on the last night of our holiday we had room service. You read that correctly. The second, is that there is no store to get general items beyond a few pool supplies/shirts and sun cream. For anything more substantial (toiletries/bandages/aspirin, snacks, wine etc) you will need to get a taxi and go to a nearby town. Never seen this before from a 4 or 5 star hotel. Also never seen a property not warn you beforehand of such issues. Finally, it should be noted that it is NOT a resort golf course. You need to present your handicap card or else you can’t play. The course is not related to the hotel fyi. Not a deal breaker for me on this trip, but can imagine some are left seething they can’t play. Would like to see if the hotel responds to their shortcomings, but would expect a disappointing reply as there is really no answer they can provide. “Buyer Beware”.

We decided to visit Tenerife for the first time and booked The Ritz Carlton Abama, and we were delighted with our decision. The hotel was absolutely stunning. We were staying in the hotel to celebrate my wife's birthday and the staff ensured she had an amazing experience. We booked a room in the adults area of the Retreat and it was amazing, so quiet and relaxing. With staying in the Retreat you can enjoy cava beer and soft drinks around the pool all complimentary. The staff were always on hand to assist. The Retreat Ambassadors were so helpful, nothing was too much for them, Lorenzo, Fransico and Fanni were standouts but all we met were so professional and helpful. Our room was on there ground floor allowing us to walk approx 20 feet and we were by the pool. Breakfast was served daily in El Mirador, and you can choose to eat inside or out on the terrace. The choice on the breakfast buffet was outstanding but you can also order al a carte too. We dined in Verona (twice) M.B and Akira Back. All three restaurants were superb, M.B was a special treat and we were not disappointed. The rigatoni with beef in Verona was beautiful. Ritz Carlton Abama is a perfect place to escape from the world, the place never feels crowded, nothing is too much for the staff and it ticks so many boxes whether its golf, amazing food, stunning beach club or just to unwind this is the perfect place to get all those things. This may have been our first trip to Tenerife but it definitely won't be our last. Thank you all

We stayed for two nights at the end of February and were thrilled to be upgraded to a sea view room. Both the hotel and our room were exceptional, and the staff could not have been more helpful throughout our stay. We were celebrating our daughter’s first birthday, and the hotel truly went above and beyond to make it special. A lovely welcome display awaited us in our room, and the restaurant and beach teams made a genuine effort to create lasting memories for us. We dined in the bar on our first night and at El Mirador on the second. El Mirador was a real highlight—especially experiencing the sunset show, which was absolutely stunning. The hotel is very pram-friendly, and staff were always nearby and ready to assist whenever needed. As we were leaving, my wife and I both agreed that we wished we had stayed longer—which really says it all.

We stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Abama in February 2026 with our 7-month-old baby and had a wonderful family holiday. We booked a Villa Suite which was perfect when travelling with a baby – spacious, peaceful and very comfortable, with plenty of room for all the baby essentials. The resort itself is fantastic for families. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming with our little one, and the whole property is very easy to explore with a stroller. We loved the beautiful beach area and enjoyed some amazing meals at several of the restaurants across the resort. Everything felt relaxed, high quality and very family friendly. One of the best recommendations from the hotel was booking a babysitter through Great British Nannies Tenerife. As parents travelling with a baby, this made such a difference to our trip. The nanny was professional, caring and extremely experienced with babies. Our daughter was only 7 months old, so it meant a lot to feel completely comfortable leaving her for a few hours while we enjoyed dinner. Great British Nannies Tenerife were excellent from start to finish – very responsive, organised and clearly focused on high-quality childcare. The nanny quickly bonded with our baby and it gave us total peace of mind. Being able to have a few relaxed evenings together while on holiday really made the experience special. If you’re visiting Tenerife with young children and staying at the Ritz-Carlton Abama, I would absolutely recommend booking with Great British Nannies Tenerife for babysitting or nanny services. It truly made our holiday and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again on our next trip.
