"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."

"We were greeted at the curb by a very efficient and friendly bell staff. Delightful Amelie checked us in, answered all our questions, made dinner reservations and served us a lovely cava. Our luggage was already in our room along with a bottle of Tempranillo and charcuterie. The room was quite comfortable but especially the terrace with an incredible view of the ocean! We decided to have a light dinner at the bar which was perfect after a long flight. Dinner at El Mirador - we stopped by in the early afternoon on our way to the beach. My husband chatted with Tamara letting her know we ate gluten free and he casually mentioned we were celebrating our 20th anniversary. We returned that evening to find the best table in the restaurant;overlooking an incredible view of the ocean, decorated with balloons and flower petals! Just wow. Shango brought glasses of cava and Luis waited on us. The meal was fabulous as well."

"We had a wonderful stay at this luxurious hotel in Tenerife. The views were absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere throughout the property felt relaxing and upscale. Our room was very spacious, beautifully maintained, and extremely comfortable, which made it easy to fully unwind during our stay. One of the highlights was the breakfast — it was incredibly varied with a huge selection of fresh and delicious options every morning. The staff were also exceptionally friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. A particularly thoughtful touch was the surprise cake they prepared for our anniversary, which made our celebration even more special. The hotel also offers a convenient little train that takes guests down to the private beach, which is a lovely feature and adds to the overall experience, even though the last train back runs a bit too early in the evening. Overall, a fantastic stay with great service, beautiful views, and excellent amenities. We would definitely return and highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway in Tenerife."

"Disappointing experience. Booked a Retreat Garden Room having read the marketing hype. Expectations were heightened by a pre arrival email from the ‘Retreat Ambassador’ asking for details of our arrival and offering a tailored experience. The reality kicked in at check in - 30 minute wait in a queue to get our room key despite having already checked in through the Marriott Bonvoy app. The Retreat is in fact not exclusive. 30% of the rooms at Abama are in ‘The Retreat’. The Ritz Carlton Club Level experience, which I’d bought into is not what’s on offer. It’s a ‘Pool Club’ open between 1100 and 1800 with free beer, wine and snacks. Unlike a Ritz Carlton Club Level experience the snacks available are designed and timed so they don’t temp customers away from eating in the varied but expensive restaurants in the hotel. We stayed for 3 nights. No contact with our dedicated ‘Ambassador’. Not even to apologise for the inexcusable check in fiasco. The hotel promises a wealth of things - none of which are in plain sight and none of which were explained. The final confirmation of the absence of ‘special’ came with our booking at the Verona Reatuarant. Our room number 128, was a recognised ‘Retreat Room’ yet as a couple we were offered the worst table in the restaurant next to a table of 6 - 3 young children eating and 3 adults ignoring their offspring. Despite asking to be moved no alternative was offered and we left without eating. The Ritz Carlton experience is something I’ve bought into over the last 20+ years but in Abama the Ritz Carlton has lost its way."
