A superb hotel. Having visited Los Cristianos for many years this was one hotel we always said we’d like to stay at. We booked B&B as we know the area and the many restaurants around. We were not disappointed. The variety of food at breakfast was amazing. Something for everyone. Rooms are spacious and immaculately clean. Beds are super comfortable. Plenty of storage for clothes etc. All staff cannot do enough for you and all very helpful. Entertainment is of a good standard and well run. Pleased to see that any towels left early on sunbeds are removed by staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked again for next year. Five star experience.

An absolutely stunning hotel. You walk through to the reception & you look up to see the stunning chandelier & greenery overflowing from each floor, my mouth actually fell open :) The breakfast was lovely, a great variety of fresh food, we only went B&B, polite & friendly staff too. The cleanliness was exceptional, well done to the cleaning staff. My husband used the gym, he said it was an excellent gym, just a lady...a staff member who was so focused on doing a great job...became a little annoying after a couple of days, asking people that used it to make sure equipment was wiped down after each use, he used it 7 of the 9 days we were there. Even the tall young man who gave the towels out by the pool was always there giving a hand if he noticed anyone struggling to put up the sun shade umbrella's. The pool's were well maintained. 10/10 for this beautiful hotel.

Been to 5 star hotels around the world this 4 star plus is up there with them. Very grand entrance, clean and up to date, relaxing atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Gym is the best iv seen in ANY hotel. Poolside excellent. We were lucky enough to have a suite,  exceptional.  So much room and storage we had trouble finding things at first. Curved tv in bedroom. Larger flat screen in front room , Great views out to sea and over coast.  Had own sunbeds on one of our two private balcony's.  Food very good. Large choice something for everyone. Entertainment on every night, if not to your taste there is a large area for people who want to watch sports, last but not least there is also an outside area next to the pool area, which is beautifully lit up at night to sit and have a drink. All while being served by bar staff. Who are all very friendly.

Hotel This is one of the most impressive and beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Rooms Well appointed all the usual kettle, tea, coffee, two free bottles of water replenished daily, on the balcony are two subbed type chairs a nice touch because the balconies are suntraps. Pools Two one heated one not, also a jacuzzi which I did not try so can’t comment. There is a lifeguard on duty most of the time, he also distributes the towels which you can exchange daily. Next to the pool is a bar, which also has pastries and ice cream. There is a restaurant also which we did not use so can’t comment. Sunbeds Ok the nitty gritty is, if you want a bed in a certain place you are going to have to get up for it, but beware if you leave you bed with a towel on it, when the lifeguard comes on duty, he will remove it and your belongings if you are not there. Food Usual buffet style food, plentiful and well cooked, there is a grill chef each evening cooking steaks and fish, he is also there in the morning doing omelettes which are lovely. Bars There is a bar which has a piano player every evening, however they are so loud, if you want a pre dinner drink have it in your room, because you will not be able to hold a conversation without shouting. The entertainment bar opens at 8pm with live music, we did not see the headline acts because the supports acts were so bad we only lasted a couple of songs, apart Rom one a guitar vocalist (British guy) who was really good. Location If you want a relaxing pool holiday then this is for you, however if you like a look round the shops there are none nearby, there is a very small mall in the hotel, with a good leather shop, a costume jewellery shop, an electrical shop, and a ladies and gents outfitters. There is a Spanish style market right next door to the hotel every Tuesday and Sunday selling all the usual market fayre, a most enjoyable wander. Staff I’ve left this to last because I was so disappointed, with the exception of a very few friendly staff, most of the staff I encountered were just not friendly, some were downright surly. However if you are a returning guest you are treated like one of the family, VIPs I did wonder if that was because there might have been a tip at the end if the stay. I offer no apologies for this, these people are in the hospitality trade, it’s it the job title Be Hospitable Would I go back sadly no.
