Idyll Suites

K Massey

WOW is the first word that comes to mind when staying at the Idyll suites! We are arrived in the evening and we were greeted by Ester. Ester is fantastic and checked us in and then took us to our room (D5) The Idyll has 49 suites There are lifts available if the stairs up to your room seem to energetic for a relaxing holiday. Ester ran through the essentials, about the hotel. We loved our room and we arrived in the dark but could already tell we had a great view. We had a sitting room/kitchen area, a large bedroom, a bathroom with a shower and a very large balcony. We had a TV, table and chairs and a settee in the sitting area. There were a few English News channels. We could not get our TV to work, even though we had followed the printed instructions. Maintenance had fixed the problem within an hour of us reporting the problem (We needed a new TV box) The kitchen is very well equipped, a 4 ring hob and a combination microwave/grill and a fridge with a freezer compartment. There were plenty of plates/glasses/cutlery etc There were baking trays and plenty of utensils There was even washing up liquid, a cloth and tea towel, which is a very nice touch. We were Bed & Breakfast and had not planned to do any eating in the room,but it was definitely possible in this suite. The bathroom was also spacious and has his and hers sinks, a walk in shower, toilet and bidet. Plenty of fresh towels and decent size bottles of shampoo, soap & shower gel are provided. The Bedroom had two beds pushed together a large wardrobe with shelves and what seemed to be a sofa bed and a comfy chair The large balcony had a table and chairs, and 2 sun loungers The suite was spotlessly clean and was cleaned everyday except Sunday and Tuesday. The housekeeping team were excellent and did a very good job The wifi worked well in our room, and we were able to stream Netflix on our tablets. (It was not as good when the hotel filled up during a Spanish bank holiday but it did still work) As mentioned in other reviews there is no aircon, but there is a ceiling fan in the bedroom and on in the living area, it was 30+ degrees whilst we were at the Idyll Suites and the fans did keep our suite cool The Pool area was also huge and there were more than enough sunbeds for the guests. The sunbeds have a thick mattress which is very comfy, there are some wider sunbeds, which are a real luxury. As mentioned in previous review you are given a bag with a towel for your sunbed, a pillow and towel to dry yourself with. We could change these towels after 5 days. The pool is gorgeous, it is salt water and you can even see the sea whilst in the pool! The pool and surrounding area are cleaned daily and are spotless The pool bar is also where breakfast and food is served and this is at one end of the pool area. The hotel is next door to a small commercial centre, in the commercial centre is a Spar supermarket, a couple of bars, a handful of restaurants, a hairdressers, a pharmacy and an estate agents. (There are no other shops that we came across in Playa Del Cura.) The beach is a short 5 minute walk away. There are also buses that are extremely frequent, that can be caught from the bus stop just near the hotel. Taxis are also readily available close to the hotel. Meals are served in the restaurant area. Breakfast is served until 10.30am. There are cooked breakfasts, of omlettes and different types of eggs, as well as an English breakfast available. There are also continental options, Bread, cheese ham, yoghurt, toast, jam etc The food was all well cooked and delicious. Bea is a constant presence in the restaurant, she is very friendly and soon learns the guests regular drinks orders. Bea, as are the rest of the staff at this hotel are all hardworking, approachable and friendly. They are an asset to the Idyll Suites We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Idyll suites, the hotel is fantastic, well kept and maintained. The biggest asset are all the hardworking staff who really do make it a pleasure to stay at the Idyll suites

We had a suite on the 2nd floor that was a perfect position to over look the pool and have sea view . It was a loverly spacious suite , pool area great and the sun beds are super big and soft . It's a shame the restaurant/bar was not open at night on our visit. But in the near by resorts there are many restaurants and bar . Also at the night of summer (hot) I think the rooms would be hot as no air-con . Rooms did have large ceiling fans . We would visit again . Had a fab time .

Perfect holiday, suites are very well appointed and whole hotel is immaculately clean. The pool area is second to none, the comfiest sun loungers we've ever had and you get a super luxury towel and pillow! Playa de Cura is an ideal area to explore the island bus service is fantastic, 91 bus to airport is a lot faster than getting a transfer! As previously voiced by others Esther really does make your holiday easy and enjoyable.

We booked one room for only 2 nights and was planning to stay in different areas of the island, but at the end we have extended our stay to 7 nights! Amazing view, very fresh, high quality and calm breakfast experience, calm pool area, but we preferred the terrace to spend time also since its a huge place with 2 sun beds. Very large room with 2 bedrooms, one common living area with full equipped kitchen, nice table and sofas, and a huge bathroom. Every day cleaning, and suites itself generally very clean. Location is very convenient, there are many restaurants around and a small beach in 5 min walk, with the car all other beaches at most 15 min distance, it was very convenient location for us. Car parking is closed garage under the building where always plenty of space and very convenient. And one last word for all stuff is amazing, especially Ester made us feel like we are home, and we were almost crying when we leave the place. Very much hoping to be back here again.

Fantastic rooms all with great views of sunrise and the bay. Pool layout is great with plenty of beds, many of which are king-size; towels and pillows are ideal for the comfy mattresses of the sun beds. TV limited but then who needs it on holiday these days with tech gear and wifi is unlimited and decent speed. Pool is definitely not heated! Very big though with effective aqua jets and easy steps in/out. No kids, no inflatables, enjoyable swimming. Mini pool probably more of a hot summer attraction. 5 minute walk to beach but no bars just hotels there. Music from Centre bars is loud most nights but finishes by 11. Spar in Centre very good. Only problem for some would be slope/steps to get downtown and to bus stops. Fantastic bus service up and down coast and to Las Palmas. €1.40 for trip to Mogan, €20 taxi home. Ester is perfect host and will offer any help/info required. Will return!
