Colon Guanahani Hotel

"Another fabulous holiday at this relaxing hotel. So clean and well kept. Central to all of the restaurants and shops but still really quiet. The staff cannot do enough to make your holiday special. Cannot wait to go back again"

"Adults only hotel : Travelled as a couple , mainly couples there were but also small groups of friends Quiet , relaxing , no activities , games etc. no music by pool, evening meals on the outside terrace were accompanied by either a saxophonist, who was fabulous or sometimes singers. The ambiance was really relaxed. Reception on top level , lifts and stairs to access all floors . Pool areas Main Pools on ground level with a roof top pool also . Ground floor pool, one salt water , heated , other one bit cooler but still warm . Plenty of sunbeds with thick mattresses and always sunbeds free . They do have a 45 min window of (as reception put it ..sunbed police ) . However we only heard of 1 couple going out towels were removed . If you are in the pool bar at the lunchtime or during the day this isn’t an issue . The sunbeds are covered every night to keep dry and clean . 2 towels provided each day , change at 5.30 to 6.30 pm at the pool. Brilliant lifeguard on duty at all times . Thank you for watching over my husband who has disabilities . Alleviated anxiety for us both . Rooms Very good We had a ground floor room with sunbeds with good matresses on the patio. Beds comfortable , water bottles and coffee capsules replenished daily . Some rooms have balcony with chairs only. Restaurant Outside and inside dining . Weather dependant of course , we had a bit of rain , so used inside then . Service fabulous , lots of friendly , professional cooking and hospitality staff . Food is buffet or you have options each evening served at table . We had both but preferred buffet . Breakfast was amazing , evening meal very good , TBH initially I thought this is a small buffet .. but the quality was great . The hotel is a lot smaller than numerous ones we’ve been to hence the smaller food display . Occasionally the food temp was not hot enough but still good . Location We knew the location , on a hill ! having been in the area and looked in hotel before . Walk down hill to beach and seafront ( 5 min Ish ) . We hired a mobility scooter for my husband so we were fine outside . Close to lots of very nice restaurants . A lot quieter than Las Americas area but plenty of choice of bars etc. Read this if you have mobility issues Likely due to narrow corridors , mobility scooters are not allowed in any part of the hotel so you have to park outside . It is a locked area next to reception. We knew this before , but my husband found it very difficult walking to the room . Which is a pity as the hotel and service is fabulous . We were given a room close to everything as requested but still a challenge for him. They have accessible rooms , which are at the end of a long corridor . Need to access via lift . They are in great location for the pool and pergola lunchtime restaurant , but getting to the room would be a nightmare for us . Even further to walk . Think carefully if you have mobility issues . The 5 star sister hotel across the road allows scooters as a lot larger. Rooftop pool and upstairs sun loungers / patio Loads of loungers , great views , lift to both . Pergola restaurant ( lunchtime ) Superb value for money and quality food . Drinks eg.. wine was 4 euros a glass . Bottled water 2 or 3 euros . Delicious toasties and fries ranged from 7 to 9 euros and really filled you up."

"1 day to go then we are going home 😢 but the hotel is as good as last yr. Everything has been perfect which just goes to show that team work makes the dream work. Room,food,service etc have been second to none and we can understand why people return yr after yr. The added bonus is that it’s adults only and it’s SO quiet round the pool and no knobheads jumping in the pool. We will return again."
