Back once again!
This was our 6th visit to this hotel and it was like coming home. We were greeted by the reception staff like friends rather than guests. Our plane was delayed so we arrived late, but the hotel had arranged a meal for us in the dining room, which was very much appreciated. This was our first visit since the manger Dominic left, it will be interesting to see what changes the new manager Eduardo makes. At the moment he doesn't have the presence that Dominic had ( we used to see him round the pool during the day, exchanging hellos to the guests), but it will take awhile perhaps for him to settle in. As usual the room was great, food was plentiful and with plenty of choice. Though we did see a lot of new faces amongst the staff, and missed some of the older more familiar faces. The waiting staff in the restaurant seemed sparser than before, perhaps lots of staff were on holiday. There have been some improvements since our last visit in January, there is lovely new comfortable furniture on the terrace by the lobby. The Jandia restaurant has had a facelift and looks lovely, though it would be nice to have a tablecloth or runner for the evening meal, as we have seen in other 4 star hotels, it would make it seem less of a canteen and more of a restaurant. As a fully inclusive guest it seems strange that you have to pay for certain cakes at Mike's bar, you can have a cookie or a piece of tart, but the nice cakes are reserved for privilege guests. As these guests have their own lounge which snacks, sandwiches and cakes in, it doesn't seem fair that we have to pay for something that at lunchtime or in the evening we can have in the restaurant. One big change we did notice was that there were more guests smoking and vaping around the pool and in the indoor pool, with staff not acknowledging this, we did inform the lifeguard on one occasion and he did speak to the gentleman, but it isn't the job of a guest to keep informing staff of this as we supposed to be relaxing and not keeping an eye on other guests to see if they are smoking or vaping. A simple solution perhaps would be to give out a separate leaflet stating that smoking and vaping are not allowed around the pool area and to use the designated smoking area, with a map showing where this is. As there are no signs saying smoking/vaping is not allowed, people are just ignoring the information that is on the back of the leaflet stating the opening times of the bars etc, that you are given when booking in. But it spoils the holiday for the rest of the guests as the smoke is quite strong smelling! This definitely needs sorting out. We also noticed that there were a lot more broken sunbeds and umbrellas than previous, which doesn't help when the pool is quite busy. We must give praise to Pedro, the temporary lifeguard, he was brilliant. He kept walking round the pool looking to see if everything was okay, he stopped people from diving in and it made a nice change rather than just seeing them siting and never moving. Wadji was his usual brilliant self, always full of eagerly and the bar staff in the lobby were as busy as usual, they work tirelessly to make sure guests are not kept waiting too long for there drinks. Overall, a good holiday, though there are still some improvements to be made,

We upgraded to the priveledge level which was absolutely worth it
Our room was front line with outstanding views and superb access to the beach Since our last stay they have an exclusive pool area for priveledge guests this is brand new and only a few months old
Our room was gorgeous and large lovely beds so a great nights sleep
The main hotel pool and restaurant ere 10/10
Lovely coffee shop and a well stock priveledge lounge
The restaurant was brilliant lovely hot food and a great choice
The upstairs balcony has breathtaking views and the most perfect place for a drink coffee/ cocktail
Many parts of the hotel have been spruced up with subtle upgrades probably the cleanist stylish washrooms bathroom/ toilets I've seen
Thanks again to all the staff at all levels they were proffesional attentive and made our stay so special
Thanks again and see you soon on our next visit

SIMPLY THE BEST.
This us our second time at the Esmeralda this year, it's such a lovely , clean friendly Hotel, good food, good quality branded drinks. The staff are all very helpful and really friendly this is a Adults only hotel. Wadji the animation guy can always be seen around the pool doing his activities, and on a evening having a boogie with the holiday makers. The new manager there Eduardo is very nice friendly and approachable keep up the good work. A big thankyou to Steph, for your kindness towards Roy & Christine. We've booked again to come back in January 2027 keep up the good work see you all then best wishes Keith & Donna Taylor Stourbridge, England.

Fantastic Hotel
My husband and myself went to the H10 Esmeralda Feuterventura on an all inclusive basis. The food was really good and rarely repeated giving us the chance to try new things. The restaurant was well staffed and even the hotel manager Eduardo pitched in even when not needed. The room itself was spacious with plenty of storage Fantastic hotelspace. We also had a nice Seaview The staff were very accommodating. We would really recommend this adults only hotel.

Very Good
This was our first visit and stayed between 6th & 15th October 2026 and were in Room 2206. Our holiday was booked through Jet2. We were All Inclusive and the hotel is Adults Only. The transfer from the airport was about 1 hour On arrival the staff on reception were very welcoming and informative. It was very noticeable that the staff were well versed in multiple languages, easily moving from English to German. We were given the All Inclusive (AI) wrist bands which also doubled for access keys to room so there was never the ever checking that you had a key to room every time you left. Different coloured bands were used for residents who had different board level and the bands could also be used to purchase drinks, making it cashless. The hotel is laid out with the reception at street level which is actually Floor 5 and all the accommodation is below on Floors 4 to Floor 1, with the pool area at Floor 1.Each floor is served by 2 lifts. The rooms were spacious and we had a shower over a bath, which was adequate. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The balcony looked over the pool and down to the sea. The food was OK but a criticism being that none of the dishes had allergens marked making it easier for my wife as an example who is Gluten Intolerent. Whilst you could ask staff they invariably had to ask someone else and it was easy for a misunderstanding in translation as to whether something was or not gluten free. This seems an easy solution with easily recognised allergen symbols put on the labels for food at the servery. The pool area was well laid out and it seems no hotel is immune from the inevitable “reserving” of sun beds with towels.
It became apparent that the majority of residents were German with very few British but the Germans are usually good at spotting a good hotel and this was no exception.
We really enjoyed the bar at the reception area. The actual reception desk is quite small but set in a huge setting with a bar in the centre and a great library of books as a focus piece. Water, including sparkling water is readily available 24/7 at points throughout the complex and again was noticeable how many residents had water containers. Breakfast started at 0730, Lunch at 1300 and evening meal at 1830, the main restaurant being on Floor 4. All the staff were polite and always engaging from the reception staff to the gardeners and the pool area was always clean. There were regular pool exercise classes at about 12 noon, including bikes in the pool.
Our transfer back to the airport was before the restaurant opened for breakfast but you can book an early breakfast at reception the night before your departure and booked ours at 0600.
One thing we found really novel but clearly an efficient and smart way of working was the use of Robots throughout the hotel particularly in the restaurant and in the pool.
Overall at great hotel and we would definately go back again
