“Relax in the sun”

Hotel built in the late 90s, right on seafront with panoramic views of the bay. The apartment was clean, beds comfortable, large balcony with pool view. Food was - ok- very slow to replace empty dishes. There are no sofa beds, just L shape sofa for additional guests. If you like walking turn right… more

Hotel built in the late 90s, right on seafront with panoramic views of the bay. The apartment was clean, beds comfortable, large balcony with pool view. Food was - ok- very slow to replace empty dishes. There are no sofa beds, just L shape sofa for additional guests. If you like walking turn right out of the hotel and head for La Caleta and their gorgeous fish restaurants, head for the steps that take you up to the headland, turn left out of the hotel and follow the beach path/promenade towards Las Americas and beyond. If you don’t want to walk take the bus instead, bus stop round the corner. The staff were all very nice and they did a great Halloween with everyone dressed up and pool disco at night. Will definitely return as we loved the quiet location

“A generally lovely hotel and a pleasant stay”

We stayed here at the end of October for a week and very much enjoyed ourselves. The views from our balcony were superb - we all spent a lot of time just admiring the view, particularly in the evening. I was a little dubious as to the food situation having read some recent reviews, but we needn't have been concerned. Lots of choice at Breakfast and dinner and run as a tight ship, meaning nobody was waiting around or queuing at any point during the week. My son is an incredibly fussy eater and even he found food that he enjoyed. Apart from the balcony, the room was definitely dated - the lighting was poor and we had to swap a lightbulb that had blown! I had tried to book an excellence apartment but they were all taken. As a result we stayed in a Superior apartment, which although dated, was extremely clean, and kept so throughout by the lovely maids, who were both cheery and friendly. Pool areas were kept clean and tidy, as was the hotel in general. Good service from hotel staff, most of whom were fantastic with our young children too, although there was one member of staff who seemed a little more grumpy who was on reception on a few of the days. Location of the hotel is fabulous if you want to be away from loud, busy nightlife, which is partly why I chose this hotel. That being said, there are a few quiet bars and several lovely restaurants just up the road in La Caleta itself. There is a mini-market next door and also a cafe too, both were very useful and we used both several times. The only thing I will comment on is the courtesy room used for tourists who are waiting for their flights after checking out - it is located deep in the bowels of the hotel and is tatty and extremely basic - plus you only have half an hour to shower/change. Whilst I accept that this is a service provided essentially for free, its the first time in my entire life of travelling that I had had only a half hour slot made available. The room that was provided was also in such a poor state that I am amazed that the hotel leaves this as the very last impression when guests are leaving. This is a minor complaint however, and overall we had a lovely holiday at the Hovima Jardin Caleta.
