GF Isabel

"We have just returned from the GF Isabel hotel. We were there for a week with Jet2 holidays on a bed and breakfast option. On arrival we were checked in very quickly and advised of all the amenities within the hotel complex. We were in an apartment (number 23) which was lovely and had the advantage of sun on the balcony from 10:30am until sunset. Unfortunately, I was not very well during the first few days of our break and had to call for a doctor. This is where the hotel staff excelled themselves - Katia and Isabel on reception were outstanding in their care and handling of the situation ( thank-you so much to both of you for the way you helped me). The hotel is very clean and all the staff were really friendly. I would advise buying books of tickets to use at the various bars throughout the hotel as this will save you money. There are books of 10 tickets for both alcohol and non- alcohol drinks. The non-alcohol are 25 euros and include soft drinks and coffee. The alcohol version is 40 euros and each ticket will get you one large beer or 2 glasses of wine (red, white or cava). Also, whilst we were there, it was my birthday and we came back to the room to find a card, bottle of cava and some chocolates - a lovely touch. Thank-you very much. The location of the hotel is slightly out of the way (10 mins walk to beach and 15/20 mins walk to main bars/restaurants). Breakfast was good with lots of variety - buffet style. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel as long as you don’t have mobility issues. Staff are superb and it is kept beautifully clean."

"We had such a fantastic stay at this hotel in Tenerife! The place is huge, with lots of rooms and bungalows, and even though it’s a bit older, it truly has everything you need for a perfect holiday. The swimming pool area is massive, with an outdoor bar, a kids’ pool, and plenty of space for children to play both in and out of the water. In the afternoons there’s also a lovely playground for the little ones. Breakfast and dinner were honestly the best I’ve ever had in Spain. So much variety and everything was delicious! I especially loved the fresh bread buns – soft inside and perfectly crunchy outside (definitely not hard, as some reviews say). Dinner was full of options: different meats, fish, seafood… everything tasted amazing. Even my partner, who is quite fussy with food, was eating three plates every evening! The evening shows were a highlight for us. One night there was a circus-style performance, another night acrobatics, and even a magic show. Before the main show, there was a fun mini disco for kids, which they absolutely loved. The drink prices at the bar were also very reasonable. The staff were friendly, fast, and always helpful. The hotel’s location is great too – close to the beach, restaurants, bars, and perfect for a nice evening walk. Overall, I truly recommend this place, especially for families with children. We were really impressed and would happily come back!"

"Positive Staff very informative and helpful. Grounds kept very clean. Plenty of towels for Sun beds. Stupid rule for 10am before you can get sun-bed. Get a little pack of washing up liquid cloth n tea towel Plenty of storage space Not so positive Double room is 2 single beds pushed together Bungalows on ground floors ours 658 was very dim and dull little natural light. The towels are tiny used sun bed towels all week Cleaners take under 10 mins to clean rooms Extremely poor Thank goodness we were bed and breakfast as the food is 2star. No omelette station instead they use the whole griddle pour pints of egg mix a lot 2 x 2 feet wide then just fold over and over cut into squares it’s disgusting and put on a dish that’s not heated means it’s cold. Everything you eat is tepid The bread is the cheapest bread they could buy it’s tasteless. The buns are rock hard. Coffee machine water not boiling. We looked at the lunch around the pool which was poor. Have been to Tenerife many times and they are far far better 4star hotels"
