Holidays to Golf del Sur

Barry Gamble

Honest review, I liked it here, thought the hotel was great needs a little updating here and there, but what hotel doesn't. The location is great especially for golfers (I'm not) just wanted a few days of sun and peace which we got from here. Close to airport, bus transfer really quick and easy. Straight to the door. Breakfast had everything u could wish for, really nice. We used the spa which was really good too and a fair price.

Our room was beautiful and spacious, we had a great view over the sea and beautiful sunrises and lighting. The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. The mountings in the bathroom were old and very used. Breakfast was ok: it was plenty but felt like canteen kitchen food.

Friendly, relaxed, and clean hotel that is situated in a fantastic location on the edge of Golf de Sur resort. This is the second time I have been and recommend it for those wanting a quiet (winter sun) getaway. The staff are excellent and always happy to help. Rooms are a bit dated (mainly the bathroom), but this doesn't detract from the whole experience. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel has won sustainability awards, which is important to me as I want to support businesses that are making this effort.

Me & my husband had a lovely 3 night stay here, staff were so friendly especially front desk, shops and restaurants across the road and the pool/sun lounge area was perfect. We only had breakfast at the hotel but it was lovely, lots on offer and never seemed too busy so no waiting for any special orders that where cooked fresh in front of you. I was a little disappointed as I had paid for an upgraded room but don’t feel I got that, although the room was still very big & nice so didn’t bother saying anything to reception. I wouldn’t say it’s a hotel I’d take my children too but for a couple who just want to escape from everyday crazy life it was perfect 😍 thank you

I have been to this hotel before and it’s in such a nice area, the hotel is really nice and the majority of the staff are so accommodating always greeting you when you come in or leave. However over the 10 days I was here a couple of male members of staff made my stay rather uncomfortable I believe they were maintenance always turning round to look at my behind when I walk past, they also covered the life guards breaks which they took this opportunity to perv on the sunbathers but making it really obvious. I do travel alone and I have never felt unsafe until my most recent stay which is such a shame as I have recommended this hotel to so many people however I now myself will be staying else where.

A fabulous four days. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Great food. bar, lunch and dinner offering a small menu but well presented, tasty food and drinks at good prices. Breakfast perfect for a day in or a day out. Great room, stylishly simple, immaculately clean and cleaned everyday. Clean / cold pool. Super location for venturing into the town to explore / shop. Guests very friendly, courteous and respectful. I'm just envious of the kite surfers. Thank you Playa Sur team.

Epic spot!! Thoroughly recommend this place. Wonderful staff, great rooms, a really nice restaurant/bar/pool area, a hotel bar at the far end that over looks the ocean, volcano and sun and literally in the beach. We’ll stay here everytime we come back. Only thing is no coffee/kettle/cups in rooms. Hopefully they will add this.

Small rooms without airconditioning, which is unacceptable in these temperatures in the Caranians. Small balcony. Poor breakfast, with few fresh fruits and vegetables. No fresh fruit juices. Limited menu and small portions. A lot of noice due to noice in the corridor and overflying airplanes every 5 minutes. Expensive room prices in comparison with the rest of the island of Tenerife. No gym room and no free pool towels for hotel guests. You can not walk around in the hotel with your wetsuit. So for surfers, kiters and windsurfers, not an ideal location. You can hang your wetsuit next to the pool, but they do not guarantee it won’t be stolen… And only one friendly and young staff member behind the desk at the entrance. Bizar for a surf and sportive hotel. They should become more friendly and luxurious for the price they ask. I was disappointed.

Lovely stay. Hotel has fabulous location. Just a short walk takes you to the main square by the beach. Rooms modern with a great shower and comfy pillows/beds. Breakfast more than adequate plenty of choice.

Ivo Bastian

Had a very nice stay at the beautiful hotel. Team is always helpful and very friendly. The restaurant is excellent. And the spot for watersports is amazing. I will come back soon. The storage area could be improved.

If Carlsberg did hotels . . . Excellent in every respect. The staff throughout the complex were so friendly and helpful, (special mention to Julia in the Spa and all the reception staff especially Carmel/Carmen and a very tall gentleman who spent the holiday writing directions for me on maps!) The food was delicious, fresh and varied, and for those, like my husband who likes his mouth burnt off, there are microwaves. We didn’t book the speciality restaurants because we were only staying for a short time and they were booked, but we could have if there had been a free slot, for €15 per head, which is still incredible value. (They are free in the inclusive package if you are staying for at least a week). Everywhere, inside and out, was scrupulously clean and the cleaning staff were very courteous and friendly. We had access to a lovely quiet lounge where there were nibbles, drinks, tea, coffee, and a lovely calm atmosphere, which we really appreciated. I’ve no idea why we qualified for this treat, but we appreciated it! An absolute gem of a find, and hopefully we’ll return soon. We frequently stay in Tenerife and have never had a bad experience but this hotel was a definite 5* and ten minutes from the airport.

Very clean room, cleaned every day. The hotel is clean and well kept. More than enough sun beds to go around. There’s enough choice of food, so you can find something for everyone, tea, coffee, snacks and drinks available all day. We were there for 11 days and enjoyed our stay, we spent a lot of it at the adult pool, as we went without kids. It was quieter, for us.

Lesley Dickson

Lovely hotel, staff extremely helpful & nothing was too much trouble. Went all inclusive and the food was great. Hotel is very clean. Would definitely stay at this hotel again. The only thing lacking was the entertainment, it wasn't great, maybe because we went slightly out of season I'm not sure. The weather wasn't the best, but who can control the weather, other than that we had a lovely relaxed holiday.

Karen Beckram

Stayed here from 18th march for 10 days. Great hotel. Great view of the sea from our room. Rooms cleaned every day. Clean towels every day. Meal times great. Fantastic selection and variety every day. Very tasty & well cooked. Staff very friendly & helpful. The one thing that let the place down was not enough seating for evening entertainment. If you didn’t get there early you had no chance of a seat. ☹️. Having said that the entertainment was great they all worked hard. Other than that no complaints. Would definitely stay again.

Julie Lawton

Hotel and rooms were great. Location not bad Irish bar and a supermarket just behind hotel. Only thing that let's this hotel down is the food and where you ate. It was like being back in a school canteen. And food was never hot. Only night when food was good was the Mexican night which you had to book also it was nice to be waited on and wine was better.

We are a family of 3 with a teenage kid, stayed in a hotel early April for 4 nights. Loved the experience! The staff is very attentive, hospitable and nice. The food is amazing including themed dinners. The territory is big enough but not huge, there is a lake for 5 minutes fun kayaking. There are many pools but only one was heated, so it gets crowded. Nice pool is by the sea, but it was too windy over there. The hotel designed as volcano with all the nice details, excellent lobby bar with a view. We took half board and it was more than enough. I particularly liked evening shows-they are 30-40 min. And different every time. There is an opportunity to take a walk at the waterfront with a views to cliffs and volcano in the sea. Supermarket is 5 min drive. It’s a bit far(30 min) from coastal touristic busy area but it has its charm. Also airport is very close so if you don’t like planes, it’s not for you, they are frequently flying. Overall, super nice stay.

I needed a relaxing getaway while working remotely, and Barceló Tenerife was the perfect place for it. The staff was wonderful across the board, but I especially want to commend the gentleman at Breeze Bar who served me every time—he was phenomenal! I loved the variety of free daily activities, along with the opportunity to go on excursions. The spa was absolutely perfect, and the food was excellent. I can't wait to return soon with my husband! Two suggestions that could enhance the resort experience: - Cleaning of public areas: I noticed quite a bit of dust and spiderwebs, particularly in my room, common areas, and at Buffet Drago. - Service at Buffet Drago during dinner: I came across other reviews mentioning slow service during dinner, and I experienced it myself. Having worked in the service industry, I completely understand that dinner is the busiest time. I even saw what seemed to be the manager and bar staff stepping in to help, which shows great teamwork. However, it might help to have additional staff scheduled during the dinner rush to improve service efficiency.

Huge resort with great staff and only 10 mins from airport. Regular planes overhead but can't say they bothered us. Advertised as 5 star but only just 4 star in most areas. Bathrooms need updating. Rooms adequate but clean. Royal level worth paying more for with regards to food service and pool options but pool area only open for towel change/drinks at 11am. Far too late. No rush for sunbeds & plenty available. Dolce Vita restaurant was lovely. Food is fine but self service hotplate food always luke warm. Mugs in room don't fit under coffee maker so totally pointless. Numerous cockroaches in bathroom first night so moved to a lake view room, but so many midges outside we couldn't use the balcony. Would we return? No. Resort much too big for us, minibar chargeable if you want it restocked - even though all inclusive, Royal level isn't adults only and we'd prefer places to walk to as it's a resort with nothing to do nearby. Staff outshone the resort

Brilliant hotel, initially it felt like a maze but once we figured out where to go it was fun. Lots of walking around inside the hotel. The food was nice and they had themed nights at Drogo. Every night there would be some show and evenings fun masterclasses on local themes including making barraquito coffee, aqua gym in the pools, wine tasting, bingo, kayaking etc. There was an acrobatic performance one night. The animation team is incredible!! The Barcelo app imo is a very nice thing they have, it also lets you order from housekeeping or booking dinner breakfast inside the hotel. I think on the website all inclusive can be defined better(does not include the ala carte hotels). The staff was friendly and helpful. Metered taxis from the TFS airport is approx 20euro. The area is quiet and far from the heavily tourist areas like costa adeje.

Stayed here for 6 nights, absolutely lovely staff very attentive and knowledgeable about the resort. Enterainment was very good, particularly the Barry White tribute and the Freddie Mercury tribute. Luca was fantastic, always friendly and informative. Jamel was very efficient and served us promptly. The rooms were nice and spacious, and toiletries were high quality. Breakfast and lunch are very good but dinner could do with some focus. The heated pool is fantastic, however it did get quite windy. 5/5 ⭐️

Elisabet Santana

The hotel's location was perfect, with stunning views of the ocean and easy access to the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The food was delicious and varied, and I especially loved the themed dinners. I would highly recommend the Barceló Tenerife to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious vacation

Annika W.

Awesome crew / staff. Everyone is super friendly. Especially Victoria with her positive attitude is trying everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Lovely to sit at the waterfront for breakfast and dinner. What I found strange is that there is not even one free soft drink / water with the dinner, if you are not all inclusive. If you booked a sea view room, make sure to stay at a show or bar late, because otherwise you will anyway hear everything of the parties going on in the Plaza area. The animation team of active is also incredible. Can only recommend to attend the one or other workshop.

my 3rd visit and this time with my mum and we had 2 separate rooms, little disappointed that we were allocated rooms above kitchens which made for a for some interrupted sleep, as a my barcelo member i do wonder what the benefits are with room allocation/upgrades, as to date i have never received an upgrade no matter what hotel i have been at and there have been many. i was moved swiftly after raising the noise issue but would suggest these rooms should not be used until sound proofing rectified - but this was a disappointing start with a few nights of bad sleep. overall though we had a lovely stay, the staff are super helpful wherever you are, it was my mums first visit and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. will definitely return if i can be guaranteed i wouldn’t be allocated same room! Our second stay and even better this time, our first stay was before their official opening a year ago and was great, but this time, small improvements and it really was the perfect winter sun break, if you are happy with a peaceful hotel that never feels busy even though it was fully booked, good food and drinks with costal walks, I would thoroughly recommend, every member of staff was amazing, particularly Keny at royal level pool an absolute superstar, Samantha and Daniel too, every member of staff was so welcoming and helpful, I love how customer service is number one priority at this hotel. We will return I am sure.

Having a wonderful stay at Royal Hideaway, excellent breakfast, and food all around has been great, a nice Italian restaurant, and another buffet one on the other side of hotel, staff are all super friendly and helpful and a special mention to Justina, always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend as a whole.

Great hotel, with good food and very good drinks. Royal level benefits are awesome, like breakfast and dinner with sea view. Staff was also very friendly. Pool selection is nice. However, bathroom sinks and water taps could use an overhaul. Also, the neighbouring town is very loud and annoying. Will probably visit again in the future.
