Apartamentos Playa Calera

Hotel je pomerne nove zrekonsteuovany, pokoje jsou velke a ciste.Meli jsme pokoj typu apartmanu s malou kuchynkou,ktera mela zakladni vybaveni. Postele byly pohodlne,jen se jedna o 2 luzka,nikoli manzelskou postel. Trochu neprijemne byly sklenene dvere a okolni vypln do koupelny.Ackoli vetsina byla mlecna,pokud mate radi soukromi,zde nebylo. Polopenze byla perfektni.Snidane byly v zakladu stejne (vajicka, pecivo, sladke, cerealie) ale denne byla obmena v nekterych potravinach. Pridala bych vice zeleniny. Vecere byly vyborne a dalo se nakombinovat plno chuti, vzdy byla 1 ryba a 1 druh masa. Na cestu domu jsme na pozadani dostali balicek namisto zmeskane snidane. Na strese hotelu je krasny bazen s vyhledem,jsou zde uzasne zapady slunce. Jine vyziti hotel nenabizi,ale vzhledem ke starsi klientele ci navstevnikum,kteri vyrazi pres den na tury, to ani neni treba. Plaz je do 100m od hotelu,je verejna. V zime nebyl problem s mistem, v lete si myslim muze byt preplnena.

We booked with Tui and were pleasently surprised , hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Room was huge we had a front room with seaviews, Kitchen was small but big enough to make a sandwich wouldnt want to try and cook as space is limited. Room was clean, bed comfy, balcony was a good size. Heated roof top pool was a bonus and the breakfast buffet was plenty. This hotel is centrally located to the seafront which has numerous resturants with a spa supermarket a 2 min walk. La Gomera in our eyes is a hidden gem and is defienitley worth the journey. It does take an hour from the ferry port to get to the hotel along some very bendy roads !!

There is much good to say about this hotel; location is good, rooms are big and nice, good breakfast buffet restaurant and nice pool area on the top floor BUT you don't know if you get a room with a good location or the opposite. We have stayed here before in a room on 3rd floor on the front side of the hotel with nice sesviews, and at point i gave the hotel 5*. This time we got a room on 2nd floor with very limited sesviews through some palms (room 201) and very dark. Absolutely no sun on the terasse. We had booked a "larger room with partial sesviews". And you dont know up front which type of room you are getting and it is not possible to pay extra and be sure to get a good room. So you are betting your holiday on a lottery. Would i do that again. Never!

Zero privacy on the room balconies. Rude and unhelpful staff. Noisy location. limited swimming pool times. Sterile atmosphere and architecture. The flimsy open-lattice panel between balconies enables people to see and hear neighbours on both side ( and they can see you ! ). The pool open times were 10:30 to 18:30 ( will change to 11 to 7 ) and were aggressively enforced by rude staff. My wife was told to at 18:10 to get out of the pool in 5 minutes, by an abrasive pool-guide . No chance of a relaxing morning by the pool then. A gang of noisy teenagers gathered to play football on the hotel plaza. After a few hours of loud noise we complained to reception, only to be told .. its a public space and nothing can be done ! ( we were given a different room some days later ). Breakfast was served until 10 am. One morning I started breakfast at 09:45. At 10:08 the waiter snatched my plate way. I objected but was told, in blunt terms, that the table had to be cleared immediately. The overall style of the hotel is modern mass concrete and polished marble , but it has zero ambience or personality. The hotel is over-priced. There is better value in other hotels. positives;- central location. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. They offered apologies. The room was big. The kitchenette was very good, as was the bathroom.

Visited La Gomera with a Tui package and really didn't know what to expect but this hotel was fabulous. Room was really big and quite luxurious with a lovely balcony you could see and hear the sea from. Very clean and comfortable. We arrived late and they had laid on a cold buffet for us in our room, which made us feel very welcome. Very friendly, smiley but hyper efficient staff. Our package included dinner and breakfast. Both, all you can eat buffets so we saved a fortune in eating and only needed the odd coffee or drink in other places. Impressive range of breakfast foods. Dinner also nice but mainly small variation on a theme and possibly geared to the predominantly German clientele. Some reviews have criticised the small pool but it's not that small! Sea water filled which I enjoyed because it's not so safe to swim off the beaches due to the ferocious under-tow. It's also on the roof surrounded by spectacular views and dramatic landscape. Felt very special swimming up there. The architecture is kind of austere and in the brutalist style but inside there is lots of space and light and our room was very quiet. A very happy experience.
