Beautiful hotel, service exceptional, had a pool party yesterday, hosted by Ramon, what a guy, got everyone in the party mood, was great fun, loved every bit off the pool party, been here since Monday and it's a bit bland, up until the pool party, livened the place up a bit, hotel fantastic, just needs a little more oomph, during day, roll on next Thursday 😀 👍 come on Ramon.

We spent the most wonderful week here and can’t wait to return. The service was excellent from before we arrived and continued throughout our stay, with (almost) every member of staff going above and beyond to make the experience special. The location is great, right on the beach and steps away from the promenade which takes you along Costa Teguise seafront or, in the other direction, there’s a walking trail to Teguise if you’re feeling energetic! (Costa Teguise is not really a typical Spanish town - it’s very much catering for British/French/German tourists). The buffet food in the Malva restaurant was varied and tasty and we had no trouble booking all 3 of the speciality restaurants via the Meliá app - we enjoyed Capella (Italian) and La Graciosa (Canarian) particularly but thought the atmosphere and service at Samira (Lebanese) didn’t match up to elsewhere in the hotel unfortunately. We splashed out on the Reserve package as it was a special occasion and we felt it was worth it for us. The Junior Suite on the top floor was absolutely wonderful, we liked the quieter pool (yes it was cold at first but incredibly refreshing once you acclimatised!) and very much enjoyed the self service lounge. We tried the a la carte breakfast once but decided we liked the huge variety in Malva better! The Ginger bar was great in both the day and the evening and there was never any problem getting served - huge thanks to Marcos for his excellent service! The evening entertainment was low key but great fun with a variety of different bands as well as a DJ at the beach bar. My only real gripe, and it always gets me, is the inevitable timeshare/club/whatever they’re selling at this hotel pitch - just no! I’d also like a clearer picture about tipping - we do like to tip for good service and we did but it almost felt a bit clandestine! All in all though, it was an absolutely amazing and incredibly relaxing holiday and we are sad to not be lying under the palm trees with a cocktail in hand any more! We can’t wait to return.

“Fantastic hotel 5/5!”

What an unusual, but superb hotel! The rooms are modern & beautiful, food and service are worthy of the 5 stars. The beds are absolutely huge and really comfy memory foam. The pool is huge and even at peak season so many sun beds - pool isn't open until 10am and no sun bed reservations permitted.... lisää

What an unusual, but superb hotel! The rooms are modern & beautiful, food and service are worthy of the 5 stars. The beds are absolutely huge and really comfy memory foam. The pool is huge and even at peak season so many sun beds - pool isn't open until 10am and no sun bed reservations permitted. To be fair it's too classy for that shenanigans. Drinks are mostly branded & good quality. Pool is quite cold but refreshing in the heat. The a la carte restaurants are included but you need to book as soon as you arrive as they are booked up early on. Entertainment a local band if different styles each evening but it's a laid back classy relaxed affair. Shops bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommend this hotel for a chilled out holiday.

I had the pleasure of visiting this hotel with my partner and his parents in August. The hotel itself is stunning, the decor is second to none and everything is spotlessly clean. On top of that, I would say that the food is one of the best we’ve had at an all inclusive. The buffet has plenty of choice, all freshly cooked and delicious. But the real star is the Ala carte restaurants. They have 3 in total, our favourite being the tapas restaurant. The food is unbelievable and would highly recommend booking into all 3 on arrival. You can go to the tapas for lunch, order as many dishes as you like and they are all beautifully cooked. At dinner, it goes to a tasting menu which was beautiful. You are never without a drink and the views from this restaurant are beautiful. The rooms are perfect. Clean, modern and beds very comfy. The staff are all so lovely, with special thanks to Marcos. He always went out of his way to see us and say hello. But everyone is so lovely and nothing is too much. We did however have a poor experience at the ginger bar one evening. Whilst the entertainment was on we sat in the bar and waited 40 minutes to have our order taken. Before this my mother in law tried to go to the bar to order, but the barman was extremely rude, threw his hands in the air and shouted for her to go away and someone will be over. My partner then went to reception to complain, and the receptionist was lovely, went to speak to the bar and our drinks arrived 15 minutes later. But in total an hour is not acceptable to wait for a drink. Especially when the hotel is not completely full. We thought this may be a one off, but the next evening we had a similar issue with wait times and other guests we have spoken to have said the same about the barman being extremely rude. I think there needs to be triple the amount of waiters taking drink orders at this time. I will also add that upon arrival the check in desk try to push you into upgrading to the retreat option, which is an exclusive part of the hotel. The rooms are nicer, and has a small private pool for retreat guests, plus a restaurant for breakfast which includes service. We declined this option as we’re staying with our parents so wanted to spend time with them. But spoke with another couple who went for this option and said it was not worth it. It’s too quiet round the pool, so ended up spending their time round main pool. Plus the main buffet had more choice at breakfast, so was a real waste to them. They ended up downgrading back to their original package as it was £110 a night more, so requested a refund for the remaining nights which the hotel were happy to accommodate. Besides this, we had no negative experiences and would highly recommend. In summary, my positives are; - food is amazing - service/staff is great - rooms clean and modern - loads of sunbeds round the pool and the shack bar is good for drinks and food - entertainment good, not too cheesy but still good fun - decor in hotel is stunning - drinks are brilliant. All labelled alcohol and plenty of choice on cocktails. The local wine is beautiful, too. - plenty of places to sit around the hotel and relax, not just on the sunbeds or in restaurants Negatives: - pool is FREEZING, it’s nice when it’s cool and refreshing, but this was next level - rude Barman in the ginger bar & service slow in the evening - sunbeds are quite uncomfortable, all other 5* we have stayed at have cushioned loungers (this is just being really picky) I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. I would say it’s perfect for couples looking for a relaxing time away. Thank you for having us 😊
