Gara Suites Golf & Spa

Cannot fault the hotel rooms which were lovely - nice balcony, spacious rooms, cleaned daily, great bathroom and a mini fridge. However the biggest problem for us was the food, we were half board and found each morning and night we were presented with lukewarm and pretty bland food. The hotels location is fine if you are up for lots of walking, it’s a fairly steep hill to get out of the hotel and a twenty minute walk to get to the closest town. Any mobility issues and you’ll be having to get taxis to and from daily. The pool was nice and not super busy, no problem getting sunbeds at any point. Although we visited in June, the hotel seems very quiet and the evening entertainment is almost non existent resulting in a pretty dead atmosphere.

Stayed here for 5 nights as a solo female traveller and overall had a good stay. I’d previously stayed at the hotel on a girls’ holiday, which is one of the reasons I chose to return, as I remembered it feeling safe and comfortable. I arrived after 10pm and check-in was friendly enough. My room was quite a walk from reception and there was no assistance with luggage, which wasn’t ideal arriving alone late at night. There was no welcome drink, but I was pleased to find a large bottle of water in the room, which was appreciated after travelling. I stayed in a standard suite and was pleasantly surprised to have both pool views and lovely views over the golf course without paying for an upgrade. The suite itself was huge, with a separate living area that I barely used because I spent most of my time exploring or relaxing by the pool. The room had some positives and negatives. The air conditioning was excellent - almost too good at times! Housekeeping visited daily and fresh towels were provided every day. However, cleanliness could definitely be improved. The first thing I noticed when entering the room was a number of dirty footprints on the floor, along with marks on the walls and flooring. The floors also didn’t seem to be swept properly during my stay, as hair remained on the floor throughout the week. The bed was comfortable enough, although I could feel the springs slightly, and the sheets had some marks on them when I arrived and weren’t changed during my five-night stay. The pool area was one of the highlights. There were always plenty of sunbeds available with no need for early morning towel reservations. The pool was refreshing without being unbearably cold, and it was cleaned every evening. Music plays around the pool throughout the day, which didn’t bother me, although some guests seemed less keen! The atmosphere was good, with a mix of families, couples, groups of friends and solo travellers. I only tried breakfast on my first morning and personally wasn’t impressed enough to return. Instead, I used Uber Eats for most meals, which worked really well, with deliveries usually arriving within 15 minutes. One thing I did notice was that bottled water at the hotel seemed quite expensive at over €3 per bottle. The location worked well for me. It’s around a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride from the main resort area. I preferred being slightly away from the busy strip and didn’t mind using taxis when needed. One thing to be aware of is that taxi fares seemed inconsistent. For example, I paid €8 from the hotel to Safari Centre but €15 on the return journey, and a trip to Siam Mall cost €8 one way and only €3 back. Overall, I think Gara Suites offers good value for money. While there are some housekeeping and maintenance issues that should be addressed, I enjoyed my stay and felt safe throughout as a solo female traveller. Looking back, I probably noticed more of the smaller details this time around than I did on my previous girls’ trip! Despite the negatives, I would consider staying again if I found a decent deal.

Amazing hotel !! Would definitely recommend! The rooms were such decent size with air corn which worked so well, the cleaners came in everyday with fresh towels and changed the bed sheets. The swimming pool was heated which was lovely and there was always space around the pool. The swimming pool area was also cleaned everyday in the morning. The staff were so friendly - especially Angel ! They always helped with everything we asked for and were brilliant at helping with any questions. For us this hotel was perfect location as was about 20 mins walk into las Américas and easily can get to Los Cristianos or Costa Adeje. We used the scooters a lot which were parked out the hotels, and these were €2 for 30 mins. So would definitely recommend using these as makes it very quick to get around. It would take us about 10 mins to do a 40min walk!! We only had breakfast included which was okay, if I had to be picky sometimes the cooked breakfast wasn’t hot, but there was so much other choice it didn’t make any difference. But 100% would recommend this hotel, was absolutely amazing.
