Alexandre Gala

We had a wonderful week long stay in January at this lovely family-friendly hotel in Costa Adeje, Tenerife. The facilities were great and we really enjoyed the choice between a heated and a non-heated pool. A place to cool off when the sun was hot, and a heated pool to still be able to swim when there was a breeze and cooler Jan temperatures. The restaurant was excellent offering delicious and different meals every day. The food was always fresh, beautifully prepared, and there was plenty of variety to keep everyone happy. Drink prices were very reasonable. The hotel was nice and quiet, and the rooms clean and comfortable. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and genuinely eager to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Frank, Andi and Katerina on the reception desk looked after us very well. We were able to invite friends who were staying locally to join us for dinner in the hotel restaurant which was a highlight evening! We appreciated the well-equipped little gym in the basement, which was regularly checked and cleaned. One of the best features for us was the hotel’s location—once leaving the grounds it was a very short walk across a sea front road to a beautiful shallow beach with fun waves. Overall, a fantastic place to stay, and we look forward to returning! Thanks! Sam

Le soleil, la qualité de l'hôtel, le spa et la salle de fitness

Au restaurant, il faudrait remettre, comme les années précédentes, de la sauce caramel et chocolat pour la glace et, le dimanche au petit-déjeuner, veiller à ce qu'il y ait toujours une bouteille de cava pleine.

Gebouw als geheel en zwembad

Bed te hard, schuifdeuren kast lopen niet (vorig jaar ook al niet, zelfde kamer, dus niets aan gedaan), koffieapparaat werkte niet goed, nog steeds doorgezakte bank (mag wel een vernieuwd worden), eten in de bakken vaak te lauw of koud, lang wachten bij vlees/vis braden (te weinig personeel), Zijkanten (witte) tafels vies.

Zeer vriendelijk personeel aan de receptie. Zeer goed ontbijt en genoeg keuze bij het avond eten. Zeer goede ligging van het hotel.

Het avond eten mocht soms warmer zijn.

5 night winter sun half board break for a bargain price with Jet2 Holidays. I was a bit worried after reading the bad reviews about the noise level in the rooms from the bars in the Veronicas strip and the food not being good, but was relieved to find that was not the case at all. I emailed the hotel in advance and asked for a quiet room and that is just what we got. Probably the quietest room we've ever had in a hotel - room 253. Apart from that the food could have been a bit warmer (which I think you find with most buffets anyway). There was a good choice of food at breakfast and dinner. Every night was a different theme for dinner. The drinks from the bar and in the restaurant were reasonably priced and the entertainment in the evenings was good. The only thing that wasn't good was the fruit juice machine at breakfast. It was the worst tasting fruit juice from a machine I have ever had at a hotel. The hotel wasn't rowdy at all, despite being over the road from the Veronicas. A lot of the guests at the hotel looked like they were aged 60+. You could always get a sunbed round the pool areas. The kids separate water play area looked excellent, but luckily there were very few kids in the hotel when we stayed last week. Rooms were cleaned daily. Pool towels are available for €15 deposit which you get back when you return the towels at the end of your holiday. If you want to change your towels it's €1 per towel to change. The safe was €2.50 per day. Everything is charged to your room card and you settle the bill on checkout. The spa was very good and they gave us a voucher on check in for 2 for the price of 1 which cost €17 for the 2 of us. We couldn't keep our room on despite leaving at 5pm as the hotel was full, but the free courtesy room was absolutely fine. If I wanted to stay in Playa de las Americas again I would stay at the Hotel Gala. I have actually stayed there before many years ago when it hadn't long been open. The weather was quite cloudy for our first couple of days but at least it didn't rain and was still warm, and when the sun did come out it was hot.

We’ve stayed at the Gala many times and it’s always good value for money. Great location, facilities, hotel and activities staff and always a lovely welcome.

Great hotel for a quick winter break, the food. was good as was the entertainment. Shame the weather was not playing ball.
