Bahia del Duque

whilst the position of the hotel is really beautiful with views out to sea, many different outdoor swimming pools and plenty of poolside seating, it is far from being in its prime. It has an air of faded glory, needing an uplift. The bedroom we occupied was a garden room, but felt more dated than purely traditional. It was, however well equipped in terms of wardrobe space; a very comfortable king-sized bed with linen that was always clean. We had a lovely bathroom with separate cubicles for shower and toilet plus a double sink. There were plenty of fresh clean towels and good toiletries. We booked on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was very good - plenty of choice and adequate seating. the staff here and everywhere in the hotel were very good. The reason for the average rating overall is because the hotel food was dreadful in all the restaurants except the Brasseries and the Ulla Loopa. Room service was efficient and served by very obliging staff. Despite sending dishes back when served because they were cold to tepid. When we ordered we always asked to be presented with a meal that was piping hot but this didn't happen - not once - and the actual dishes were tasteless often, I would guess that the chef was at best, inexperienced. Not once did we complain officially until the last day when after being extremely ill following the gala dinner for new year's eve. we explained our views, in the hope that the hotel can 'up its game' in this area. I doubt that we will return within the

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas, largely thanks to the incredible staff who truly delivered a 5 star experience. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, including the teams in all of the restaurants, where both the service and the food were consistently good. A special mention must go to Patrick in Casas Ducales and Luis at the Beach Club, both were outstanding and made our stay feel extra special. The only minor letdown was the pools, which were unfortunately far too cold to comfortably swim in. It would be great if at least one pool were heated to a more comfortable temperature. The rooms were clean and spacious but felt a little dated in places and could benefit from a refurb. Some of the plugs didn’t work, and a few modern updates would really help bring the rooms in line with the otherwise high standard of the hotel. Aside from that, the exceptional service and dining were real highlights and helped distinguish this hotel from many others.

We enjoyed a fabulous family holiday here just now. The hotel is beautiful with loads of places to sit around the various pools and a highly professional staff team. Breakfast was an event in itself! Would definitely come back.

Had a fantastic break at the Bahía. Superb facilities, gardens, pool areas and the hotel buildings are beautiful. Overall, the food is very high-quality with superb service Not perfect for families, but still pretty amazing overall

We had the most fantastic stay over Christmas. The staff couldn’t do enough to help the food in other restaurants was excellent and the facilities superb we came with three teenagers and all really enjoyed this day in this luxury hotel.
