Beautiful mostly clean hotel with architecture in the dining room which needed to get used to, bookable with half board. The average age was in that travel season for couples over 50, almost all without children.


Location

Optimal location for the 'beach combers', with beach entrance right in the area. Stores and the bars with little live musik in the immediate area. 'Spar' against 'Netto' was cheaper in a few articles. So for example Netto cost Aquarius 0,5L 1,55 Eur, at Spar a liter bottle was for 1,53 Eur. Spar was however farther from the hotel. After Morro Jable best on the beach promenade at a few restaurants.The port there was not really worth seeing, since there were still restaurants in the fishhall with fresh fish offers. In the other direction the path along the mainstreet stopped at the Ibersostar hotel, walking farther at the water, pay attention to the tide times, since it was partly no longer possible.

Always friendly employees. At the reception, in the restaurant and in the spa area German was always possibile. Room cleaning without complaints. Only once met the Canarian 'insects' in the bathroom and killed it.
My wife used the spa area several times, and there was no reason for complaints, the employees there were also experts and one could relax there well. Payment was individual and not on hotel bill. At a departure after noon, with request the prior day for staying in the room, when not necessary, or a shower room reservation was possible.


Gastronomy

Mornings empty table choice to 11am, evenings at an assigned table for the holiday with one assigned waiter. Evenings 2 courses, in the summer 6:30pm - 8pm and 8pm to 10pm. Gladly there were mornings at the restaurant entrance a bulletin with the listed food of the buffet, so that one at least saw what wasn't offered anymore 1 hour before the end of the second shift.
At breakfast 3 sorts of juice, 2 sorts from machines, several packs and fresh preparation, however too warm, at the omelette buffet.
On the island only little agriculture, and since almost all was imported, one noticed it on the fresh products, which were so often replaced with cans. Even the easy products and banana were only visible at 8:30, otherwise also the dark bread types were very desired and only available at the beginning of the buffet. Evenings the bread became a lacking item. We always were full, but in this hotel category we had already had better buffets. Pay attention to the 2 course also to which cooks had their shifts, according to the team already at 9:30pm they ended work and closed the buffet, and as well other cooks gave fresh fries at 9:45pm .

With the great beaches around we didn't use the pool. Only at arrival we relaxed at the pool, the beach chairs were always availbable. Pool hand towels were free available and exchangeable. Tennis lessons were possible with the trainer in the hotel. For activities only 1 employee at this hotel. Evening activities in changed daily between shows and piano player.


Room

Suns

Sufficient size, with filled minibar and water cooker for tea and coffee.
Cappuccino packs were availabe at the morning buffet early. Bath with bathtub, bathrobe and bath slippers, which were however with use already during the holiday worn out soles. Air conditioner was in order, TV with a few channels. Rental safe 1,80 Eur daily.


Tips and recommendations

The German bakery/pastry were at the Cafe 'Caracola', WLAN free, in the second row behind 'Esprit' or Cafe 'Colonia' behind the 'Fundgrube'.
Excursions: Oasis-Park (animal shows, animal park with ca. 250 different sorts of animals and largest botanical garden Europe) with free bus from bus stop 'Stella Canaris' Adults 18 Eur, 10 Eur children, and with information at the register for the hotel tourists in Jandia was per person 4 Eur sale. Whoever didn't see all on one day, could use the entrance ticket when stamped within 60 days without additional pay.
Excellent also was also the individual trip with Antonio in the small bus with maximum 8 persons on the island away from the tourists. Routes, booking for 55 Eur, payment at location, already in Germany over the internet was without problem.
