Playa de San Marcos

Large all inclusive hotel very close to the beach with nice rooms, several pools and food options. Personnel very welcoming and agreeable. Good location.

Hotel RIU PALACE . The best Tenerife.

Second time at the Hard Rock Tenerife. First time was back in 2018 with my then teenaged daughter on half board and this time with my partner on all inclusive. Two very different experiences. If going all inclusive you need to study the app like an easy exam. The restrictions, the times for à la carte, the 30% discounts and what you can drink on AI in one restaurant you may have to pay for in another. The one buffet restaurant has the same recycled food breakfast, lunch and dinner. Remember the À la carte restaurants are with a 30% discount or very lack lustre. It overall made the experience less enjoyable. I don’t normally book all inclusive as I like to explore and dine out but this short break over the festive was supposed to be chilled. Staff were ok. Can’t say anyone stood out or made the trip remarkable. The hotel was more on a revenue drive than service to its actual guests, which is a shame as I enjoyed it first time round but would not recommend unless it’s for the festive period or the events they host throughout the year. On the plus side the NYE party and the buffet was fantastic. If ever I was to return to a Hardrock Hotel I would do 1 overnight only to bring in the New Year.
