Hovima La Pinta Beachfront Family Hotel

"My family and I stayed at this hotel for the second time — we were here last February as well. We returned again this year and were not disappointed. The location is superb. The direct shortcut access to the beach is a huge plus — I could literally walk from the swimming pool straight to the beach and back in my swim shorts. The activities are great and keep both kids and adults busy almost all day (from 10am to around 5pm). The kids’ club runs twice a day for several hours each time, which worked perfectly for us. The buffet food hasn’t changed much since last year, and the daily selection is fairly similar from day to day. However, our main goal for this holiday wasn’t focused on food, so it was absolutely fine for us — even though I understand that some guests may expect more variety. The food in the Temático restaurant, in my opinion, has improved compared to last year. The only downside is that now you get just one free restaurant visit per week of stay, whereas last year it was two. What truly makes this hotel a winner is the staff. From reception to the cleaning team, everyone is incredibly positive and helpful. I especially want to highlight the animation team and some of the cleaners. I noticed a few cleaners even dancing during the mini disco — such a small detail, but it adds so much fun and really boosts the holiday atmosphere. The animation team is fantastic! Daniel, Georgia, Ambar, Alvaro and Paula — you are stars! Daniel, Georgia and Ambar have been standout performers for the second year in a row. I may not remember everyone’s name, but the whole animation team deserves a standing ovation. They work incredibly hard and truly make the holidays special for the guests. I definitely recommend this hotel and would happily come back again."

"We spent two weeks in this very comfortable hotel, everything worked smoothly, the structure is very good, the rooms have great space and are well equipped, also the environment is very well managed, the hotel personnel professional and kind, and all the people we interacted made feels us very well, we appreciated all of them, Raffaella, Giorgia, Daniel, Mariana, Ana, Amber, Marco, Nuria, Dominica, Rebecca and likely I missed some name, also our kid enjoyed fully all the day with people always happy to play with him. The swimming pools were heated well fr our needs. The hotel is also well positioned, in front to the beach, and allowed us to enjoy easily of the opportunities of Costa Adeje."

"We have just returned from La Pinta after spending a week half board plus. 2 adults and our 2 year old. This is an honest, genuine review. The hotel is in a great location, easy access to Puerto Colòn beach, immediately adjacent to a multi level complex of restaurants and bars (try Nex1 for excellent coffee). South facing so you will get sun all day and sea views out towards La Gomera island. The staff on reception were excellent and really friendly. You enter at the highest level, level 4, which is street level, the pool/restaurant etc is at level 0. There are 2 lifts to get up and down. If you want to hire towels it’s a 20 euro deposit per towel. Safe needs to be hired also. We had a family room next to the pool which was great. Slide open the doors and enter your own small terrace which is basically poolside. There is a small gate on your terrace which allows you to step out onto poolside. Really handy for families. Excellent access to pool/bar/restaurant etc. Rooms cleaned every day and staff very nice and friendly. Fresh towels daily. Main bedroom was 2 single beds pushed together, one of them had wheels that didn’t lock so I found d myself moving about the room every time I turned over 🤣. Big double bed in the main room was very comfortable. At night it can be slightly loud with singers etc performing in the nearby complexes. Only if you are on the balcony/terrace, Doesn’t affect you when sliding doors are shut. Food was fine, not amazing. Decent selection. Staff work hard in restaurant cleaning and preparing tables etc. There was no fresh food being cooked such as a hot plate for fresh meats etc or someone making fresh omelettes etc. food comes straight from kitchen but still fresh enough. Pool opens at 10am and closes at 6pm. No issues with sunbeds etc, there was more than plenty to go around in January. Lifeguard was really friendly and always a lifeguard on duty. Entertainment team were really good and excellent with kids. Shows were good, some better than others but worth going to see, generally last 45 minutes. Mini disco starts around 2015 until around 2100 then the evening show begins. No table service, and only 2 people working bar so there was so queuing for drinks at times, not really a big deal. You are given a wristband which is your door key and you can use it to charge drinks to your room etc, we did this with a few extra beers/cocktails etc. Pool area large and clean, larger pools are slightly heated. Toddler pool not headed and was pretty cold, just a heads up. We had a neoprene suit for our toddler. Toddler pool could do with being heated but not the end of the world. Pools will be colder in January than the summer. We had a really enjoyable holiday and wanted to stay longer. Would recommend the hotel. We had a look at booking again for next January but the prices are pretty expensive. We don’t think we can justify paying the price. You could probably find a similar hotel for a cheaper price. We have also noticed the local area is becoming increasingly more expensive for goods/meals etc. same as most places I suppose. You can access the beach via stairs next to the swimming pool, there’s a security gate you open with your wrist band. It gets locked at night for security. Beach is lovely. You can use the on site a la carte restaurant during your stay for free, we could use it once. Food was excellent. Service wasn’t the best, had to ask for bread, had to ask for Parmesan for our pasta, were not offered more drinks or water replacement etc. the girl was very nice though. Seemed she could maybe have had more knowledge of the menu. Perhaps she was new, again it’s just a little thing - no big deal. We had a great holiday. Could’ve stayed longer which highlights how much of a good time we had. Thank you."
