      @@blahmaas Yes, enjoyed it very much. Had no issues so nothing to be wary from us. My only recommendation though is you can book any of the themed restaurants up to 3 times so if you’re interested in doing so they book these as soon as you can as they’re limited seats. The dinner show is highly recommended.

    Just got back (yesterday) from a week here. 2 rooms, 6059 and 6064. The former had a great view of the sea, looking down onto the plaza canaria and across to Fuerteventura, but the latter (even though it was only a few doors down) had a large palm tree blocking most of this amazing view. Both were standard rooms, and the layout was similar to your room. We noted from the evacuation plans that some of the adjacent rooms were longer and thinner, with a much narrower balcony - around 1/2 the width of ours (and yours).
    Only the one glass fronted lift was working in the reception area, but we did see lift engineers working on the other several times during our stay but it was still broken when we left, and yes - it’s still slow!
    Sadly, as we were in the main building and on the same floor as reception, we didn’t get to experience the golf cart ride.
    Your review was a fair representation of this hotel, certainly not 5* in UK terms, but a good 4* with excellent, helpful and attentive staff.
    Thanks for the chance to reminisce back in chilly Suffolk, 9C vs the mid 20’s we were enjoying there.

      Thanks for your excellent comment.
      I think due to the odd shape and design of the buildings, many rooms will end up being different shapes and layouts. Walking around and seeing many hotels through out the canaries, it’s great to see many of them with plants, cactus and palm trees in the grounds. Having said that, I’ve seen many rooms that have palm trees completely obscure the views of balconies and always thought I’d hate to go to my room upon arrival, open the curtains and seen nothing but a huge palm tree!
      One of the lifts when we were there was out of service on and off but we didn’t have issues using the stairs.
      The “train” ride was certainly a novelty, added a bit of fun and gave us a tour of the hotel.

    Great holiday destination stayed in 2017 with my then 1 year old we went privilege cause when we booked was only an extra £400 bearing in mind this was pre Covid and also was our honeymoon so screw it the main benefit of you can have all your meals in the a la carte restaurant near the sports bar they literally make anything you want in reason even if it’s not on the menu they used to keep the 1yo busy so we could eat in peace best holiday we’ve been on if I’m honest

    Thanks for sharing. However this is not a 5 star hotel. It is more like a 4 star and very dated like from the 1980''s.

    • @terryandsiantravels
      @terryandsiantravels  3 місяці тому +2

      It’s a 5 star according to Spanish ratings but I would agree it’s 4 stars from what I would expect in the UK. However, it would cost considerably more to stay if it was a UK equivalent 5 stars. Hopefully from videos like this people can see what the hotels are like before going and make their own opinions as to whether they think it’s worthwhile.

    Sadly this hotel is not 5 Star. We stayed here in September 2022 and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. The food was mediocre, long queues at the bars, staff were often rude and the hotel complex is a little run down in places. The pools badly need refreshments. Not something you expect from H10 hotels.

      It’s a 5 Star according to Spanish ratings. It would cost considerably more to stay if a 5 Star at British star ratings. Either you went on a bad week, it’s improved since you’ve been or we went on a good week. We met a couple there that have been 9 times and love it. It could just be individuals personal preferences or expectations but I can only go by the experience we had on that particular week. It’s our first H10 hotel so can’t compare with the standards of the others.

      @@terryandsiantravels I’m sick of hearing that. I don’t book holidays in the UK. I visit hotels in Spain and I’ve stayed in 4 Star hotels that are far better. In fact one of them was the sister hotel the H10 Lanzarote Princess. Far better hotel in every way. This hotel lives on old reputations and isn’t as good as you make out. Tell me is the small river still dried up and full of debris. Are the pools still full of broken and cracked tiles. Is the food still lukewarm or cold. Are there still queues at the bars? All this is what holiday makers are looking at when they spend their hard earned cash, nothing more nothing less. It’s not 5 star it’s that simple.

      I agree with you, in my opinion it’s not what I would normally expect a 5 star to be and there is plenty of room for improvement. I also appreciate you didn’t have the best time there. Most of all I appreciate you commenting, thank you. When it comes to reviews it’s always best to hear the good and bad and personal experiences.
