We studied sites for weeks thinking where to go , we decided on this one . We were apprehensive over the Canary Islands due to the political climate but we had no reason to worry, saw nothing of any protests and all locals friendly , so do not believe all you hear and read in the news. Right ,the hotel, lovely concourse and friendly front end staff, always helpful. We asked to keep room open but couldn't due to high demand. The reception did organise a courtesy room to have a shower etc which was fine. The inside of the hotel is amazing ,live plants , pools complete with a live turtle (normally on a rock if you spot it). Pool area is always clean and spacious, no issue finding sun loungers no matter what time of day. Pool is huge (and cold) but perfect . Only downside is there is too much going on around the outskirts regarding music, quite noisy and repetitive,also the usual selfish people with their own music playing like everyone wants to hear it. Pool bar is open 10am -6pm with the usual all inclusive drinks . The evening bar is nice and the bar staff were always polite and friendly,always looking for empty glasses to fill up. One downside is the lack of cocktails, there should be a lot more on the menu ( which is a qr code to download electronic version). There seems to be more seats indoors than out which if you want to see the entertainment makes it tricky(maybe in height of summer that changes). We booked the ocean view room, always clean, view is amazing and mini bar (free) is always topped up.Bed is so comfortable, the A/C is perfect after a hot day doing nothing in the sun too.Shower is good and powerful. As always we need to find a place with good variety of food as my wife is veggie, first 2 days were fine but after it was repetitive and things poorly labelled, i have a nut allergy so had to be careful what i had , i tried a couple of desserts that were did not have nuts labelled and they were in the cakes themselves. I would say 6/10 for food really. Sadly unable to prevent flies being all over the food too. Not much more i can say really, would i stay here again, yes sure ,but maybe eat out .

Fantastic hotel. Just had a wonderful week here. Facilities are amazing. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They take pride in making your stay the best it can be. Food was amazing, lots of choice and variety at every meal time. Other restaurants are also available within the hotel. Entertainment was good and the entertainment team work very hard. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is amazing From the first day the staff were very welcoming The rooms are very clean as is the whole hotel Food is excellent and there is plenty of choice

First impression of the hotel was lovely, Mark on reception was such a lovely man, checked us in so quickly, explained everything about the hotel, even the history, pointed out where all the restaurants where located plus when they were available, we was offered an upgrade to the reserve area which I'm so glad we did, the pool area for both pools are spotless with plenty of sunbeds, staff here are so amazing always smiling and all greet you, Anica is such an amazing young lady, so helpful in everyway, nothing is too much trouble, the reserve breakfast, every morning welcomed by Dragana again such a wonderful young lady so welcoming and helpful, Laura the waitress cannot do enough for you always smiling and making sure you have enough water, orange juice, tea and coffee, in the reserve pool bar there is, Jonathon, John, Carolina again such wonderful people always helpful, Jonathon is one of the happiest bar person we have ever come across, always smiling and singing, this man truly loves his job, in the Ginger bar, Marie and Kevin are again such wonderful people so helpful and happy, we tried all the restaurants, Malva, which is a buffet restaurant, there is a very good selection of food of a very high standard, La Graciosa, amazing food for lunch and dinner, the same applies to Samira and Cappella, we can honestly say the food at this hotel is one of the best we have ever had, a very big thank you to all the chefs who never seem to get a mention, you do deliver amazing dishes, our room was beautiful, very clean with a stocked mini bar, the shampoo, conditioner and body wash are of a very high standard, the beds are amazing, again the best we have ever slept in, the spa area, unfortunately was still being re-furbished due to the flooding but looked really nice, we didn't have any treatments so I'm unable to comment, there is a lovely walk way outside the back of the hotel, which takes you to shops and restaurants, a lovely stroll along the path or the beach, we cannot thank all the staff from reception to the very friendly cleaning staff, this hotel is a real gem.

Well fantastic hotel. Super friendly staff who always had a smile Food was excellent so much choice that when we ate out we missed the restaurant at the hotel Can’t fault a single thing Pool wasn’t overly cold mini bar stocked well and rooms tidied and cleaned well
