"Amazing Sangria lesson and tasting session with Omar, made with the most important ingredient LOVE... Great insight in Omars own touch and enjoyed by the whole group"

"We stayed here for 10 days at the end of November for my partners 60th birthday. We upgraded to Star Presige with priority location rooms with views overlooking the stunning beach towards the lighthouse. Rooms are large & bright with large comfy beds. Room had a very large tv with plenty of choice of channels for most major european countries. Room was kept spotless during our stay. Facilities for the star prestige are meal sittings / timings to your liking & an exclusive area in the restaurant. Waiter service for drinks provided with SP at evening meals. The exclusive area for SP guests in the day is excellent with help yourselves on a wide range of hot / cold / soft drinks & many alcoholic drinks inc wines, cava, spirits , beers etc. Fridges provide a range of sandwiches, fruits & snacks. The infinity pool & infinity juccuzi & uprated sunbeds make the area relaxing & peaceful. Loved Rueben on the SP area brining around the twice daily cocktails or 'vitamins' as he called them. The SP lounge had newspapers, magazines & books with comfy seats if you wanted to relax out of the sun in a peaceful setting. Also smelt devine. You ought to sell thst smell / perfume! As part of the birthday celebrations i arranged for my partners sister & elder kids to be upgaded in a SP room nearby, emailing the hotel in advance before arrival. Sabrina on reception arrranged everything & it all went flawlessly. The cost was priceless seeing the smile on my partners face when the surprise was sprung when she realised her sister & two nieces were here to celebrate. Thanks Sabrina you're the best! A couple of friends came later in he holiday for a few days who also stayed in the SP area. I arranged a party with the hotel for the birthday evening meal with table decorations & a celebratory cake. All arranged & sorted again by the helpful Sabrina. Meals / drinks at the restaurant were top quality. Food was excellent & covered all tastes. Loved the theme nights at evening dinner. Always something Iberostar excels at & why i always look out for their hotels. Particularly liked the omlettes made by the jolly Bruno at breakfast. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this hotel, even the maintenance men say hello in the morning. The staff are just so friendly you cant help but relax."

"We spent a week as two families with teens. I've been to all the islands in the Canaries but this is the first hotel where I felt I want to return here... Largely due to the exceptional, unbelievable beach, right in front of the hotel, you can walk for hours in the sand, it is simply magnificient. I woke up several mornings just to walk during sunrise! The hotel itself is great, very clean, nice staff, though really loud for our taste... (we wanted to go to the African market, but the animator told us he will not go only with the 3 of us, so we were just left at the reception... that was not very nice, but really this was the only negative point during the whole week). Now the food. That is the other reason why I feel I will return here. Fresh food, lots of choices, fresh made-to-order omlette for breakfast. very nice lunch and dinner, every evening a themed dinner with lots of freshly prepared food. I don't think I've ever eaten homard in a buffet restaurant... Our favourite was the sea night! The tapas bar was a disappointment though, there's no point going there when the buffet is so good. Coffee could have been better, the one at breakfast is simply too horrible to drink and the only bar with an espresso machine opened only at 10.30. But we enjoyed that the whole hotel was AI and nobody was trying to make us buy this and that, waiting for tips... I'm already planning my return!"
