Just home from a 10-night stay in an Economy (or Promotional) studio, on a half-board basis. There are many returning guests which proves it’s a good place to stay. The hotel is nice & is kept very clean in all areas. All of the staff (who work hard) are friendly, polite & always smile & say hello. Rooms include aircon but you have to pay an extra charge to use the safe (I think we paid 27€). Rooms are serviced 5 days out of 7 & are equipped with the basics needed to enable comfort etc. The kitchenette has a kettle, cutlery plates & glasses. Washing up liquid & a tea towel are provided, too. There’s a standard fridge but which doesn’t have an ice box. There are several electric sockets but it would have been good to have a one next to the mirror in the room. The food is good, with plenty of choice at breakfast & evening meal, both of which are a buffet-style. Sometimes, the hot food could have been hotter, though. The dining room in the evenings was uncomfortably warm which wasn’t conducive to a relaxed dining experience. However, I’m unsure if this was due to some aircon issues as, on our last day, we saw some maintenance staff installing new ones. Any drinks or snacks ordered are charged to your room (no option to pay-as-you-go). However, we were pleasantly surprised at how cheap the drinks were so no “bar bill” shock at the end of the holiday! The pool area is well maintained & there are plenty of sunbeds & parasols. Some beds are quite close together, though, with very little space in between them. That said, we never had any issues getting a couple of beds at any time during the day. Usually, unless they’re cleaning the pool area, you can use the sunbeds from about 8.30. There’s a lifeguard on duty from 10am but you can use the pool itself from 9am. There’s a small supermarket just up the road from the hotel for basics & it’s a pleasant walk from the hotel down towards either the marina & beach area or the opposite direction towards Playa de Las Américas. Point to note ref Economy studios: We knew, in advance, that our balcony view looked out at the wall of another building. That in itself wasn’t an issue for us, but there was very little air circulating (when there was a breeze because it was very hot when we were there!) so it meant that it was always hot sitting there, especially because of the aircon unit. Overall, we had a good holiday & enjoyed our stay at Hovima Panorama.
