GF Isabel

Another amazing stay. We went as a couple in 2022 and this time we went as a family (my wife, our son and daughter in law and grandson and me). The rooms were clean and comfortable and the air con worked! The food was nice enough and there was always something we could all eat. I would have preferred a quiet bar area as the mini disco and entertainment can get a bit annoying after a few days (why not open the pool bar at night?). My wife and I were also devastated to hear about Rafael who looked after us in 2022. Thanks again to all the staff . See you again soon.

GF Isabel is a great hotel. It has 3 swimming pools , one just for young children . The whole hotel is very clean. We had a bungalow and it was very spacious. Breakfast was amazing there was everything you could want and more . The staff are great and nothing was a problem. The evening entertainment was superb and we loved ABBA International. My husband and I will definitely come here again.

Second visit this year, visited in April/May last time 10 nights…this time for 14 nights. Not a lot has changed since last visit we were in the same apartment block 200’s…first room 217 had air con issues (not working) so went to see Isobel on reception to look for a solution which was sorted by a move to room 210 air con working OK 👍🏼. A couple of things to mention the hotel is having a good level of refurbishment ongoing which brings lots of noise during the daytime, so if an afternoon nap is planned you would struggle to sleep especially in the block our apartment was located, did mention this and advised some communication would have been grateful. Facilities OK, same issue with the treadmills in the gym area need servicing or updating one trips out whilst in use so please be careful, breakfast is OK could add a freshly cooked omelette station , we only stayed B&B so can’t comment on other meal times, courtesy room available if leaving late as keeping your room on after normal checkout time (1200) is very difficult as hotel always seems busy. Will come back hopefully to one of the newly renovated rooms for next year, please review some of the minor issues mentioned as these may potentially improve future stays for your guests. Again, enjoyed our stay and will look to stay again if everything lines up with us 👍🏼

Lovely stay, Alexander on the front desk was very friendly and always there to give advice on local area,

Lovely staff, incredible experience, near siam park, bus access, good food, chargers were not all working, high quality tv, comfy bed, bit too expensive, give the red haired bartender a raise as fastest and tastied drinks!

The worst hotel I've ever stayed in in terms of room cleanliness, service, and staff behavior. The rooms are dirty, the windows unwashed, and even though I know it's Tenerife, I expect better service, room quality, and food from a hotel I'm paying almost $10,000 for. The food is burnt, not good, monotonous, and tasteless. You have to fight for sunbeds in the morning, and the only good thing about this hotel was the drinks. The only good thing about this hotel is that it's in Tenerife. Nothing more. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

we booked 2 bungalow's for 5 adults there was lots of cats in the place. il give out of 10 reviews for the hotel. staff, especially the 'domestic'staff 10 pool 10,loved security guy taking towels of beds if placed. before 10am😁 spotless public toilets 10 village type layout of hotel 10 quietness at night 10 lay out of bungelow 10 powefull shower 10 bar prices were fair 9 food was fine ,but repedative 8 the room though was in need of upgradeing. even a coat of paint i can live with repaired bath panels,or lights attatched to rawl plugs or even 1 socket in kitchen but there was a damp/ stale smell in our room 544, and anytime we came in from beach,pool etc it was smelly.. so we had to continually spray air freshener. the air con was poor, we complained the night we arrived and the girl at the desk got us a standing fan and told us maintenace would be there next day. they did come and worked on the air con,told us it was sorted and that we should feel effect after an hour. sadly this didnt improve and after reporting it again the guy came back and tried to explain that all air cons dont work the same. but as we had rooms 542 and 544 we would be on same system so we should have had better air conditioning in the room.. so the room only get 5 outof 10 but the worst was our garden which had 4 chairs and a table. this could never be used. the smell of cat's pee was overwhelming and this despite the garden getting watered every morning. there was also cats dirt that lay there for 3/4days. we also had ants on tables and chair. though once reported it got sortedso we couldnt sit out side for breakfast or a drink in the evening garden get 0 out of 10 we paid over£7k for 12 nights b and b so kinda expected a bit better. However. given all the positives and the fact that we might just have been given the most delapidated bungalow the hotel overall i rate it an 8 out of 10 we will be back next year ,but not in room 544.

This hotel is only a 15 minute drive from the Tenerife South Airport- it is also very close to shopping centres and bars which can be found on the beach. There is a lovely atmosphere that is suitable for all ages, with things such as pool fitness, music, mini golf, table tennis and evening entertainment. Though, there is still plenty for the adults with both a jacuzzi and a solarium in the adults only section. However, the evening music can sometimes be a little noisy if you want to go to sleep early as it usually ends about 10:30-11pm The decor inside is a little dated but perfectly functional. We booked into an apartment on the second floor and were blown away at how spacious it is. The food is generally good, although some of the evening meals can feel a little bit samey, so perhaps there needs to be a bit more variety. Overall, this has been an enjoyable stay so far.

The location was ok, but quite a steep hill to get to the beach area which is nice.A 10 minute walk. Its a big complex, like a small village with everything you need. We even got a lift to our block in a little wagon as it was a long walk. Was grateful for this as we had cases and hand luggage and no sleep for nearly 24 hours. I gave the driver a 5 Euro tip I was that grateful!. The atmosphere is nice, staff friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and large. Ours was a 1 bedroom apartment with balcony on the 1st floor. Clean towels every day.It had good air con too. Had to complain at reception after a night of people in our block dragging furniture and shouting about at 4 am that woke us up.. Reception were very nice and said to ring them if it happens again and security would come and deal.Thankfully it didnt happen again. The restaurant is huge and a selection of food for all nationalities at every meal time all be it a bit repetitive. The entertainment was ok every night. The only thing was 7 or 8 children running around the tables and chairs and up and down the stairs shouting about the last night we were there. A lot of people were annoyed with this with some leaving early to get away from it. Always got a sunbed at the small pool. Didnt go in either of the pools as they were both full of kids. The smaller pool should be for adults only as the big pool is huge and enough space for kids., There is also a lovely paddling pool for the smaller children with a little water slide. Smoking zones scattered around the complex also. The large pool had a nice cafe with snacks all day ,, the small pool bar did coffee drinks etc and small snacks. All in all we enjoyed it. I must admit I like Lanzarote better as its not so big and prefer smaller hotels,. Good value for money though.

Lovely hotel, grounds were spotless, bright and pretty. We had 2 ground floor bungalows with connecting door which was great. Only downside to being on the ground floor we had a few cockroaches because someone kept leaving a door open 🥴. Big pool at the bottom, middle pool had some small slides and the top pool which was smaller but we preferred it as not as deep so safer for the kids but deep enough to swim a few lengths. Pool snack bars were good, ate lots of lovely fresh salads. Pretty close to the beach but as we were with someone with reduced mobility we got a taxi which was 4 euros. A few shops next door plus a handy supermarket. Found the staff on reception very helpful and happy. A few of the bar staff could be a bit frosty but not a problem. Daytime Kids club was good, well organised under a breezy shaded area. Kids disco at night was rather cheesy I’d say any kids above 5/6 would find it cheesy, it’s more sing along than a dancing disco. We enjoyed our holiday, if it wasn’t that we like to try somewhere new each year we would go back.

This was our 2nd stay in two years having booked again (this time for 10 nights) after such a wonderful stay last year and we were once again not disappointed. The hotel is located about a 10 minute walk (downhill) from the beach/promenade and has a supermarket next door with everything you might need which was really helpful as we were staying B&B and a shopping center on the opposite side. There is also a bus stop nearby and also close to a taxi rank. We used the bus to get to Playa las Americas and it cost around 1.50 euro per person. We also booked a car through Cicar which is based in the shopping center on the opposite side of the roundabout behind the Marylebone pub for a trip to Loro Parque. I would highly recommend doing this if you do want to go as it was cheaper, quicker and much more comfortable than travelling on a bus. The hotel itself was very clean which was a prominent factor in our stay last year and this was evident throughout. We stayed in an apartment which was situated to the east of the hotel. The apartment itself was basic but met our needs. I would say it was slightly more dated than the room we stayed in last year but was clean nonetheless. You get basic kitchen utensils, plates, hob microwave and glasses. Shower is decent and our towels were replaced daily if we used them. The beds were also quite comfy, slightly firm and pillows were good too. Our balcony faces the sun in the evenings so could get quite hot (which we liked) and although we were the bottom floor, the room was just slightly elevated from the main walkway which gave us some privacy unless you literally stood against the wall at the front. The pool area was clean and regularly tidied by staff. Having bought drink tokens last year and didn't feel it was great value for money, we opted for just paying for drinks ourselves this time. We felt drinks were quite reasonable having been to other hotels previously that would sting you if you weren't AI with cocktails at about 8 euros. You could take cans round the pool too but not any kind of glass which they are strict on. The main pool itself was a great refreshing temperature and has a separated children's area. BE AWARE you are not allowed any inflatables in the pool except for babies. The children's pool was also very popular with our 4 year old and is lifeguarded too with sunbeds and shaded areas available. We didn't visit the top pool during our stay. Every other day the entertainment team would roll out the mat across the pool which was both fun and great entertainment for all those watching. I would recommend having a go regardless of your age/shape and size! Evening entertainment was mostly good with a variety of shows. Our daughter loved the mini disco although (and this is just my opinion) there didn't seem to be as many English speaking songs this year so whilst she copied the actions she didn't understand it as much as last year. The later entertainment was varied and we really enjoyed the Kenyan Boys and the Magician/Clown (apologies I can't remember his name). My only criticism was the evening where there was a lot of hype around what we found out was a glorified DJ. There seemed to be loads of external guests for this one but to be honest as a lover of dance music it was a bit rubbish and didn't seem to excite the audience. As we were only B&B we only had breakfast and this was similar to what we experienced last year. Lots of choice (albeit mostly the same each day) and the food was mostly always hot with staff regularly refreshing the stock. One thing we did notice is there did not seem to be as many staff clearing and tidying outside which allowed the pigeons to often take food from tables so beware if you leave your table for something and you want to eat what you left. Whilst I appreciate there is probably little the hotel could do, last year with more staff the pigeons seems to be ushered away more often. We sat outside for breakfast for all of our ten days and as long as you are mindful then everything is ok. The restaurant does get busy the later you go for breakfast but there was always seating outside. Finally service throughout was always very friendly and helpful, particularly the staff at the pool bar and on reception. Again we didn't feel there were as many staff on in the evening in the entertainment area and it did take longer than expected at times to order drinks. The staff are also not keen on you going to the bar to order either. We really enjoyed our stay and were glad that we booked ten days this time. A couple of things were 'different' this time which may have had a very minor negative impact compared to last time however we would still highly recommend and stay here again.

This place has amazing active the animation team are brilliant and there's big Dave the cat the land outside is not very green but that's fine very good

Location was great not far from the beach is ok a slight hill , lovely atmosphere a mixture of families and couples . We stayed in a one bedroom apartment it was massive and very clean , the room was cleaned daily and the ladies were lovely . Great value for money we stayed 5 nights and found it very reasonable . The amenities were great the only thing I would say would be for more signs to show you were to go . Would definitely stay again !

Hotel was perfect 1 bed apartment spotless

Decent Family Hotel with Room for Improvement We recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a pleasant enough holiday. It's not a luxury hotel and doesn't do anything particularly outstanding, but it provides a decent base if you're looking for somewhere clean and reasonably comfortable. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful and always willing to assist when needed. The pool area was generally very good. It was kept clean, the sun loungers were some of the most comfortable we've used on holiday, and there was always a relaxed atmosphere. However, one thing that was frustrating was that the pool and sunbed area didn't open until 10am. For families with young children who are up early and eager to get in the water, this felt far too late. Opening at around 8.30am would make a big difference and allow guests to make better use of the facilities. The all-inclusive package was a little disappointing. The selection of food was average rather than exceptional, and while there was always something to eat, the variety could be better. The cocktail choice included in the package was quite limited, with many of the better options only available at an extra cost. The rooms are dated and could benefit from some refurbishment, but they were clean and serviced regularly. Unfortunately, we did encounter a few cockroaches during our stay, which wasn't ideal. One issue worth mentioning is that pigeons were frequently seen inside some of the public areas. While this may not bother everyone, it could be uncomfortable for guests who are nervous around birds. There are also a few areas around the pool where raised block paving creates a potential trip hazard, something the hotel may want to address for safety reasons. Overall, we had a good holiday. The hotel has its shortcomings, but the friendly staff, clean pool area and comfortable sun loungers helped make up for some of the negatives. With a few improvements, particularly to the all-inclusive offering, room updates and earlier pool opening times, it could be a much better experience.

Last time we were here was 2016 with the kids but just two of us this time. Emailed them prior to our visit asking for a bungalow with a private terrace as it was our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Great bungalow with private terrace and nice bottle of cava with card and chocolates.Breakfast was fairly ok but ate out for lunch and dinner.pool at bottom is great as main pool is always busy. Will definitely not leave our next visit for 10 years.

We definitely wouldn’t call this hotel a 4 star when compared to other places we’ve stayed. We travelled as a family with 3 children and were split into 2 bungalows. We requested adjoining rooms and the hotel did give us these. Unfortunately the condition of the rooms left a lot to be desired. I don’t think the floors were properly mopped the entire week we were there, towels were taken and not replaced and the bungalows were so dark (no ceiling lights, the only way to get some proper light in the room was to leave the curtains wide open). The main pool was good, the kids loved it and there were no issues getting a sunbed. However, we found the atmosphere and activities at the pool to be boring with very little happening. The evening entertainment also wasn’t great - our youngest loved the mini disco though. The food was terrible. We stayed all inclusive and the best meal of the day was breakfast. We found the selection at lunch and dinner not great and the vast majority of it was cold. We ended up eating out 3 of the 7 nights as a result of this. The hotel is in a great location, close to shops and the market, but it is located on a steep hill that some people might struggle with. And the reception staff called us a taxi if we were venturing further which arrived within minutes. We absolutely loved Costa adeje, but we wouldn’t return to the GF Isabel.

The hotel is in a good location and is kept very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are very dated and not very well maintained. We were bed & breakfast and although there was plenty of choice the quality was very poor. Sound proofing in the rooms was awful especially when you had inconsiderate neighbours playing music on the balcony late at night and very noisy early in the morning. I also didn’t appreciate the amplified music every night until 11pm. The pool area is far too crowded and noisy, not my thing. I have stayed in a lot nicer 3 star hotels. I would not return to this one.

We stayed here in February half term as a family of 4 (children aged 2 and 4). The hotel was very good overall, plenty of space around the complex and in the rooms. What really made our holiday was the welcoming atmosphere for us as a family, plenty on offer for the children to do, 3 pools and a play area, suitable entertainment and the mini disco at a good time (i.e. after dinner). The entertainment team were fantastic for the children. A very special mention to Mario, who truly went above and beyond. Holly and Max loved you so much and Max still talks about "his best friend Mario in Tenerife" now! Thank you xx

This is out third visit to GF Isabel and we had another fantastic time, this time I brought my eldest daughter and her child, my grandaughter with us, and they're now big fans. We stayed in Room 662, just 5 metres from main pool. The whole hotel was kept immaculately clean by the excellent staff. We stayed Half Board and the food was really good, we ALWAYS found something we liked, some people complained about food but they are expecting restaurant quality, they cater for hundreds and do a fine job. Looking forward to coming back with more family

Just back from a girls holiday here. Rooms 105-102. Lovely to have a separate bedroom to living area. Hotel a little tired decor wise, but clean and comfortable. No problem with cockroaches. Food varied and we could always find something, some of it could be a little warmer, but did enjoy it. Service in the entertainment area very slow for drinks, on more than one occasion we had to go inside and ask to be served. Evening entertainment consists of kids club, then 2 different acts. First act always better than the second, but entertaining (not always for the right reasons 😂) Like the fact the pool area doesn’t open until 10 am so no towels left early and not used till lunchtime. Didn’t go out much but I understand it’s quite a steep walk back from the beach. Would I stay there again? Yes,

"Unfortunately, the standard of this hotel is well below 4 stars. The food is very weak. Breakfast is okay, but the rest of the meals just consist of pizza and french fries. You can completely forget about fresh fruits or vegetables. Also, not providing free drinking water is very disappointing. The staff is mostly unfriendly and sometimes even rude. The only star goes to the cleaning lady who was nice. After 10 PM, the hotel is dead, and you can only see cockroaches running around. Very poor experience overall."

10 night stay in June and would 100% consider returning. Some of the reviews on here are far too harsh from people who clearly expect far too much for their money and half of it is untrue. - Rooms are a little dated yes, but they're spacious and immaculately clean. You get amazing views from the 4th floor balcony's. Shower is sooo good and the beds very comfy. Clean towels daily left by the maids and bed linen would also be changed daily if you so wish. My only gripe with the rooms is there's barely any plug sockets so take an extension lead. - Food is exactly what you'd expect from a 4* AI. It wasn't at all to my taste at dinner and tea but that's just my preference. Everything you could possibly want at breakfast. You do need to take a slip to dinner and tea but its only so the staff know who is AI, not to limit your eating! The review saying there's no live egg cooking section is a lie. Snacks available during the day are repetitive but always kept covered to keep flies away and the area is kept spotless. - The all inclusive drinks menu is available to every guest via a QR code. It's stated clearly on there what is and isn't included so certain cocktails not being included should come as no surprise if people bother to check. Drinks as expected and wide range available. Says 2 per person but I often got drinks for our full group. In an evening you can either use the bar in reception yourself or receive table service at the lower level by the lovely staff who can't do enough for you. - Evening entertainment is dependent on your tastes. I personally don't enjoy acrobatics or magic so it was a bit meh for me but the nights they had a singer on were fab. Al Cafone was hilarious. Mini disco at night is louder than it needs to be but the kids there absolutely loved it which is what matters. Never saw any sunbed wars. Pool is absolutely massive and again, the pool and pool area were spotless. You can get clean towels to use on the loungers everyday. There are on site shops available but they're expensive. There's 2 hyper Dino shops within a 2 min walk selling the same things for far less. Location is ideal, 5 mins walk from del duque and fanabe beaches and over the rd from the market and the Duke shops. Overall the experience was nothing but positive and we had an amazing time.
