“Relaxation in a bottle ”

This hotel is exactly as described by every other 5 star reviewer on here. The staff work tirelessly, they all go out of their way to help, assist, serve, greet, clean & maintain Iberostar Palace.

This hotel is exactly as described by every other 5 star reviewer on here. The staff work tirelessly, they all go out of their way to help, assist, serve, greet, clean & maintain Iberostar Palace. I read a review that said 'speak to reception if you have an issue". I second that opinion. They are trained to iron out any issue. We had a room issue, Yolander sorted it, we had a safe issue, the maintenance person came within 15 mins. The attention to detail is apparent. As well as a daily maid, there is an evening maid too who pulls curtains, replaces any towels & leaves a chocolate on your pillow. Thoroughness is well observed here. I am very into fitness & I was impressed by the gym, although small, it was well stocked & maintained with a good range of free weights, barbells, safety clips, medicine balls & even a weightlifting cage. Often resort gyms have damaged, out-dated equipment, not with Iberostar Palace. I've uploaded gym photos of the weights section as I always wish someone else would do this when I'm reading reviews. To the hotel, could you purchase a barbell neck support please for guests to use? I also had a massage. Coral, my masseur was phenomenal. When lying on my front, she placed a towel under my feet for comfort & when on my back; a towel very lightly over my eyes to ensure I relaxed. She was very experienced & didn't scrimp on time. I left floating on air. The Japanese restaurant was worth a visit. It was a fun evening. Someone commented that reserving sun beds is frowned upon; that didn't stop people putting towels down I'm afraid. We like early morning sun & were often settled around the pool by 8.30. We are normally beach people, but having the sunbeds overlooking the sea made the convenience of the pool attractive. The sun bed mattresses are very comfortable & the pool is blissfully quiet. Staff came around with a trolley offering melon or a sneaky late afternoon cocktail. We even had a saxophonist serenade the pool one afternoon. I particularly enjoyed not having to remember to carry a room key. It was delightful to have the room key chip in the form of a wrist band. My top tips for the hotel are: If you are a water guzzler like me, the karafe in the room won't see you far & Iberostar Palace is ethically plastic free. Bring a large water bottle to keep topping up. Swim up rooms are worth every penny, but rooms on the end of the block are a bit of a push to call a swim up room. These tips are not related to the hotel: The beach sun loungers are €15 a day cash only There's a public toilet on the beach but the lady's door doesn't close, take your own loo roll with you & don't flush it down the loo! There is a toilet at the cafe too. There's a fantastic running path at the base of the hotel access to the beach. You'll need your phone torch if you're going pre-sunrise, but watching the sun rise on your run back is outstanding

“Great hotel, corporate leadership have let their team down”

The hotel and the staff could not have been better, absolutely superb. Big shout out to Rocio and Libasse in the restaurant who were phenomenal. This was all slightly overshadowed by a corporate policy decision to only allow long trousers for gentlemen in the roof top restaurant. This is moronic and also sexist, as women are allowed to show their legs. I had to go all the way back to my room to change smart tailored shorts to jeans (a scruffier option). This is 2024, get with the programme. Other than that the overall experience was great, star prestige well worth it, beach was lovely. You have a great team of people at this hotel, shame the senior decision makers at head office are living in the 50’s

“No privacy and not 5* experience”

I'm staying at the hotel right now in Side Sea View. I was hoping for privacy, peace and relaxation and I can't find it here.

I'm staying at the hotel right now in Side Sea View. I was hoping for privacy, peace and relaxation and I can't find it here. The hotel is badly designed so that most of the rooms look towards crowded pools or busy highway which is close so you hear traffic noise. Our room look towards the tree and pool bar (with loud music twice a day) and that's the best they could offer us even I asked them for a quiet room when booking 2 months ago). All public spaces have zero privacy. All of them are around pools and occupied sunbeds and under direct burning Canarian sun. There is no open areas under a shade. It is a shame that to get decent experience in this 5* hotel you had to book at least see view room or higher. The hotel facilities are okayish, some need a renovation. Public toilets are not very clean and smelly, furniture could be better maintained or timely replaced. On a bright side, the food in the main restaurant is good. It is a pity it is not Spanish food but everything is fresh and made of good ingredients. We will survive, but I'm disappointed of what we got for the price we paid.
