Location - almost direct access to a clean spacious beach and with a bus stop outside the front where you can get to pretty much anywhere at a very low price. Not a lot in the immediate vicinity. Service - all staff are super friendly and obliging. A small tip every now and again goes a long way. Clientele - if you’re British, and looking to chat with people forget it. This hotel is 95% German. We are here in November/December and the age range is over 70 mostly but we knew this when we booked it. Facilities - reasonable tennis court Astroturf, but bring your own rackets if you’re a serious player. There’s a ping-pong table, but it’s very windy so pretty much unusable. French boule available, shuffleboard and a very good gym. The spa is also really nice with a brilliant big spa pool with lots of different jets. There is a sauna with with a cold plunge pool, a steam room and a saltwater dark room pool. Organised activities - random is all I can say. They do different things at different times every day so you never know what is going on. It would be good if they did boules every day but no, it’s like twice a week. And when it’s too windy for ping-pong, they don’t change it to something that it isn’t too windy for they just don’t do anything. Quite disappointed with the daytime activities actually. Food - once again, very catered for the Germans but we don’t mind that. I am craving some spicy food it’s all quite bland. They don’t have a chilli in the place. I asked if they could make pasta spicy but no, the only thing we have is Tabasco. The lunchtime a La carte restaurant is lovely. We have eaten there every day. The coffee bar is also a nice addition. Drinks - you can’t get a drink in a glass until 6 pm. Until then, the only place to get a drink is at the pool bar and it’s all plastic regardless of whether you’re by the pool or at a table. Quite disappointing for an expensive hotel. In the evening, I asked for a gin and tonic in a specific glass and the waitress said that was a cocktail glass and I had to have my gin and tonic in a tall glass! I just fancied it in a nice crystal glass, but I wasn’t allowed! The wine is okay spirits are the usual. My husband likes the zero alcohol beer. The only drink you can get in the restaurant that is low calorie is Coke. Why? Please provide zero sugar soft drinks such as tonic, they are available. Tips. Bring chilli flakes!

Visited late Oct/early Nov as a special holiday for my big birthday. Oh my goodness - it was FABULOUS. Hotel was superb. Completely surpassed all expectations. Often, photos are taken from a good angle and the real place never looks as good. In actual fact, Costa Canaria was just as good as the photos, if not better. I have never enjoyed a holiday as much as this one and will definitely be back. Lots of other guests return year on year, which is a good sign. Hotel looks and smells beautiful from the moment you enter. Cleaned daily, staff working hard all the time. Little library and computer room at the side of reception hall. Reception staff were helpful and pleasant. Food was available even though we arrived late evening and it was past the official dinner time. Room was lovely - spacious, well equipped, clean and tidy. Safe optional, extra charge. Air con included. Kettle and some tea/coffee and water provided in rooms. Paid extra for a sea view. We were on level 3 and it was a lovely view. A bit of noise at night - I think from a neighbouring hotel? - but usually finished around 11pm and I can sleep through most things anyway. Hired an iron, €20 refundable charge. Rooms cleaned daily. Bathroom good, toiletries provided. The only negative thing was the odd position of a towel rail immediately in front of the sink, made reaching the sink and getting in/out of the bath a bit awkward, but we managed. We stayed half board. Food was fantastic. Such a variety! If you want to sit outside, queue up outside and the waiters will find you the next available table. Bit of a wait sometimes, just because there were more people than tables outside, but plenty of room inside. Sometimes at dinner a harpist or violinist would play in the background. Gentlemen have to wear long trousers in the evenings, no beach wear. People have complained about this on here, but we didn't mind - it's no big deal is it?! There are two sittings for dinner so it doesn't get too crowded, you'll be allocated either first or second when you check in. We were second, which was 7.30-9pm. Drinks such as water and tea/coffee were included on half board, which suited me perfectly. Could order and pay for other drinks if needed. Just check they charge you for the right amount - they charged for 2 glasses of wine when it was only my husband who ordered one (I don't drink wine). Easily rectified when we asked. Had such a big breakfast and dinner we didn't need lunch, so didn't use the pizza place and restaurant, but they looked popular. Water available from the bar throughout the day free on the half board tariff. The sunbeds idea is GENIUS. Last thing you want on a relaxing holiday is a sunbed race. Having your tags at the start of the week and reserving your sunbed takes the stress out of it. Just make sure you choose wisely at the start and get a good spot. We chose the garden as it was quieter than round the pool (but the pool was much calmer than anywhere else I've been, as except
