Costa Adeje
Located just beside La Enramada Beach in the area of La Caleta in the popular holiday region of Costa Adeje, this appealing apart hotel is a favourite both among families with small children and athletes. Families love the facilities for children such as the heated children's pool, athletes prefer the Sports and Leisure Centre “Tenerife Top Training” next to the hotel. The next golf course is within 10 minutes by car.

It’s NOT even in Costa Adeje, it’s out in the sticks , literally
DO NOT EVER GO OR BOOK THIS HOTEL
You get what you pay for
The hotel is lovely, abit dated but you get what you pay for. The pool is 10/10 although rather deep in the round pool. The rooms are clean and have everything you need. Beds are comfy. We only had a tower fan in room which was useless so had to sleep with patio doors open which was still roasting. The internet signal was rubbish in our room but ok round pool and in bar areas. The reception staff were so helpful. Caleta is a very quiet town, 1 decent cocktail bar and lots of fish restaurants so we got taxi to adeje most nights for £8. Reception called them and they arrived in minutes. The hotel supermarket is pretty cheap, there is a spar up the road for more choice but prices are about same. The meals were my only issue with the hotel. There was never enough mugs in the morning, the glasses for juice always smelt abit funky. There was a shortage of bowls for dessert at evening meal. The was a violinist in the restaurant one morning which was lovely whilst eating breakfast. The food itself was ok but my kids had pasta for 5 days because the choice was limited. I personally wouldnt come back unless there was a self catering option as we had to eat out a few times and this made the cost rise. The sports bar is decent priced but there is only 1 barman who doesnt rush and on busy nights when theres decent entertainment on you wait a while to be served. The evening entertainment was good, we watched an abba show,a magician and a fantastic Michael jackson but there arent enough seats in the bar and there were kids sat all over the floor blocking the route to the bar

Amazing resort. Food needs improvement.
The hotel the staff and atmosphere was amazing. Our hotel rooms and the pool areas were clean and spacious. The entertainment was brilliant, we even had a harp player playing music one evening while we ate. I only have one negative thing to say and thats about the food. I dont eat sea food so some nights i only ate pasta and lettuce, my daughter is a fussy eater and she didnt eat anything at dinner for the whole 10 days we were there. There is no childrens food section and everynight seem to be seafood based. Breakfast was the same every morning but we enjoyed the options they had. Everything else about the hotel and location was amazing and i would definitely return maybe just as bed and breakfast. The location is perfect, plenty of bars and places to eat in the area. A shop next door and a beach with a bar 5minutes walk away. You can take a taxi or bus to the nearest town for around 8 euros (taxi) If anyone has any questions feel free to message me 😊

A pleasant stay in the jardin caleta
A pleasant stay in the jardin caleta. Pool area is really lovely and no issue getting a sun bed. Roof terrace with jacuzzi for adults also very nice. Everywhere was kept spotlessly clean. Drinks prices at the pool bar reasonable. Didn't use the bar on an evening but presume prices are the same. We didnt have children with us but there seemed to be plenty happening to entertain children. Found the food to be typical of a 3 star. No frills but plenty of choice. Water was offered as a free option at all meals which we've had to pay for at other hotels so thats a bonus. You can eat indoors or outdoors and outdoors is opposite the sea so very pleasant. Rooms are very traditional Spanish in design. Nothing wrong with that but dont expect modern if you go. Many rooms arent serviced by WiFi. If WiFi is important check you've got a room that has WiFi. Similarly only some room types have air con. And whilst fans are in rooms with no air con they barely help. We had to upgrade. Staff are lovely. Particularly Ana, Julie and Francisco. One gentleman who generally worked as a waiter and occasionally behind the pool bar could do better!
We got the titsa public bus to the airport. 1 euro 45 to the station at adeje on the 467 (takes about 12 mins) then swap to the 40 at under 4 euros to the airport ( takes about 40 minutes)
We got the 467 to los cristianos a couple of times and enjoyed the 6 miles walk back to the hotel along the front.
We also walked to paraiso. Fabulous walk. About 4 miles each way. Bit hilly but you are right on the coast
La Calete itself is gorgeous. Small with only a dozen or so fish restaurants but so picturesque. Sunsets are amazing. Theres an oriental restaurant on the front at caleta called something like oriental 88 that does bottomless brunch for 21 euros. Didn't try it but the restaurant looks lovely so maybe next time!
Would recommend both the hotel and La caleta.
Family holiday
Room clean enough but badly needs updating. Stated it has a sofa bed in the living area no it is just a seating area with a sheet on it. Cleaners in 5 days out of 7, always left fresh towels but bedding not changed. Food not the best but always found something to eat, best thing was the pizza freshly baked. Never had a problem with a sunbed at anytime we went to the pool but they are not comfortable. Most of the staff we spoke to were nice. Location was a little bit out of the way but buses or taxi near by.
