Fun, family holiday
We spent 10 nights here and all wanted to stay longer, we were 4 families and had booked 5 rooms and the hotel really accommodated our room requests on arrival.
The hotel is in a good location, supermarket and local bars and restaurants all just outside the hotel, everything else, beach / more bars and restaurants were within a 10 minute walking distance. Short Taxi ride to playa de Las americas and Los Cristianos, it is walkable apparently but we didn't try it.
The hotel was very clean , room cleaned daily, towels changed daily, beds changed at our request using a card left on the bed and the cleaners were lovely and polite.
Breakfast excellent choice.
Sun loungers around the main pool was a bit of an issue as people sat on beds from 6AM , we usually got beds though around the smaller pool at the back and the roof top area had beds but the pools are just small plunge type pools, it was nice up there though with a bar.
Entertainment was fine, what you expect from hotel shows. The only downside was there was a lack of seating so we would go out for food and there were no seats on return, so ended up sitting on loungers but then did not really get any waiter service, but we were not allowed to order at the bar ,one evening after we had been waiting 40 minutes for our drink order to be taken , I went to the bar and the man pouring drinks started flicking his hands at me telling me to sit down, when I explained how long we were waiting he just just starting holding up lots of order receipts at me , showing he was busy and again told me to go , which I think is poor and did let down our evenings slightly.
We had rooms with pool view and did not find it noisy once the entertainment finished.
We booked this hotel well over a year in advance and it was very good value for B&B , we did look to rebook for 2027 and it's more expensive and we did find that they only have room only basis , the 2 families with us found them a bit small with 2 travel cots in one room with them and need to have a kitchen area as there was nowhere to prepare bottles etc and also would like a 1 bedroom so they can put the children to bed so for this reason we have opted for the GF Isabel instead for next year as we enjoyed the area so much. But would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it .
No sunbed at 10am!
Have been at GF Fanabe x3 times,but no more untill they sorted sunbed issue. People awake at 5am to secure a sunbed! Gf fanabe, my advice do something! Allocate beds per room,otherwise loosing customers. Thank you
Lovely holiday
We loved our holiday here. Grandchildren spent most of the time in the pool where sometimes there were inflatables like a pirate ship to add interest. Animation team were excellent even though our grandchildren didn't join in. Choice of food at breakfast and dinner was wonderful with something for everyone. Everyone in our group of 5 could find plenty to eat. We asked for quiet rooms and that is what we got. There was a nightclub opposite but all quiet at midnight. Fabulous views of the mountains. The whole hotel was spotless. The cleaning team worked tirelessly. Having pool towels provided was a bonus. Yes you needed to be out reserving your loungers between 7.30 and 8 at the latest so we had breakfast in shifts. Not too bad. Close to a great supermarket across the road and close to Fanabe beach with restaurant s but we walked to next beach ElDuque which was beautiful with golden sand. Nearby are beautiful designer shops and gardens with
views. Hotel description said tea and coffee making facilities provided but we had to ask for kettle and get our own tea and coffee. Room was comfortable and large bathroom. Air conditioning was good too. We loved it .

Honest review from a family
DONT BOTHER not worth the money, time, nor hassle. Food was inedible most nights- nicest thing was the chicken nuggets and chips from the pool bar. If you want a sunbed not only to do you need to get up at 5.30am you have to sit on the sun beds till the pool opens at 10am. Me and my partner spent most of our holidays separate till 10am because of this. Drinks were awful made us all feel ill! All your typical holiday cocktails and spirits were not included. No lunch on your last day even if you’re not leaving the hotel until late afternoon. No inflatables or footballs other than rubber rings allowed in any of the pools even though they sell them in the hotel shop! Bar and restaurant staff were so unbelievably rude they made you feel awful for just asking for a drink! I’ve never experienced behaviour like this before. I’ve never once complained about anything but this needs to be said. Save your money and avoid!! Only 2 good things about this hotel. Rooms were cleaned every day which was lovely and the staff for the kids were incredible. We are absolutely gutted that this was our yearly holiday. Should be a 3 star at best.
Will stay here again excellent hotel and staff.
We have stayed for the last two years and this year twice and will be back again next year. They give us the same room as requested but I know this can alway be offered. From the moment you walk into the hotel the reception staff are welcoming, this is the same for all staff including the pool staff who welcome you in the mornings. Can I say that "will " on the roof terrace bar make your holiday. The hotel is clear bright and the food is excellent, I have heard people saying that food is rubbish and it looks like they live on Big M at home. There is always something to eat and some time too much, me and my wife put 6 and 7 pounds in a fortnight. What ever you do keep the roof terrace so us without children can sunbath in peace.
