H10 Tindaya

Excellent hotel and facilities with direct access onto beach. Few English guests, but this was not a problem. Good food choice but would have been good with theme nights - became a bit repetitive although always well presented. Good variety of drinks and not in usual cheap plastic cups. Entertainment available during the day if you wanted it but not pushy and there were quiet pool areas for those who wanted to relax. Evening entertainment dominated by world cup matches so didn't experience much of usual hotel entertainment. Rooms clean and good size bathrooms, most having a sea view. Lovely beach but watch out for the nudists!! Chipmunk type animals can be found in the rocks next to the beach. Only a handful of shops close by. Car hire beneficial to get around the island which is a must - experience the sand dunes in the North. Some lovely fish restaurants in the South. Windy most of the time but this is not a problem.

We had a great stay at the H10 Tindaya, mainly due to the great facilities and the weather (which was perfect for April). Everything you need is there to have an enjoyable time, and it all works well. Things I would change are: opening the gym, spa and pools earlier than 10am as we are early risers. More staff who speak good English as we had trouble explaining that we required gluten free meals. Otherwise it is a great place to stay and there is plenty of space for it to not feel too crowded. Something we found out when we got there, is that the southern end of the island is generally visited by Germans and the north by the English. I am not sure why that is, but is resolved our confusion as to why people spoke to us in German and why there were German signs. It didn't bother us at all... Tip: be careful when sunbathing. Because of the lovely breeze you do not feel it is that hot, but the sun is strong and many people (including us) were getting sunburnt.

Great hotel with excellent facilities. Too windy to sit round the pools but went down onto the beach which had sunbeds and windbreaks and was a lot more sheltered. Great beach with beautiful clear water. Recommend it if you want total relaxation.

Third stay at hotel. Accommodation and food excellent as usual.

Fourth time at the Tindaya and we've thoroughly enjoyed every stay. In no particular order, I offer you the following. Staff are really good, with some exceptional (Josie in the restaurant was great - nothing too much trouble). Smiling, courteous and always ready to help. The animacion team are really enthusiastic and can offer varied activities for both children and adults throughout your stay. The hotel is starting to show signs of wear and tear particularly around footpaths (broken floor tiles), but that's to be expected with the amount of people staying. I'm sure the maintenance team will start repairs soon, as they were always out cutting grass, installing new fencing, and doing other stuff. The restaurant always has a great selection of food to choose from. The only problem that it's not always hot. One thing that may get to you is the lack of orderly queues when at the restaurant buffet counters or the bar. Walls between rooms are thin and you'll think next door have moved in with you. This is so common you just accept it. Too many sun loungers squeezed around top pool. Could do with removing some to give you a feeling of your own space. On the whole, you should stay at the Tindaya; it's a great experience. We'll be going again.

Generally good with very professional staff and nice pools. Minus areas included absence of blackout curtains in rooms, small bathrooms, vegetable soup every night for all 7 nights (sometimes both soup selections were vegetable!) and "hot" food which was often cool. That said, the food was pretty acceptable and well flavoured and fruit selection was always excellent (as were deserts).

Very good hotel, excellent staff and service.

As a minority of English speaking guests most of the staff were unable to converse with us in English. We would ask a question in English and the staff would respond in Spanish. We were in the hotel for one week and the whole time we were there the floor which we were staying on was stained with splash marks. Despite this out room was cleaned daily, jut not the corridors

Hotel was advertised as a Spa hotel but there was no communication that the spa incurred an extra charge The Spa treatment facilities were completely inadequate for the size of the hotel - only 1 therapist with no treatment appointments available at any time during our 4 day stay. Spa and Gym facilities were completely closed on 1st January without prior notification Quality of food was very poor

This is my third time at Costa Calma, I've tried two other hotels, I enjoyed the stay at the Tindaya and would go back again. there were two or three niggles, but nothing more than that!! The food in the restaurant wasn't always very hot, but it was always being topped up with fresh stuff & there was a very good choice. There was free WiFi but that was very hit or miss. Probably the worst thing is the smell of sewage as you walked near to the front of the hotel, but that's from the plant across the road, but the smell no way entered the hotel..There was quite a bit of rubbish & debris at the side road to the hotel, although not the hotels land, I do think they should accept some responsibility & clean it up?? I have only mentioned the 4% of negatives, the other 96% were all positive Had a great stay & I'd definitely stay at the Tindaya again
