Gara Suites Golf & Spa

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Price This hotel was noisy and overpriced for the level of service provided. The breakfast buffet was very limited, and some of the products didn’t seem fresh. The “orange juice” was actually just a sugary syrup mixed with water, not real juice. The room itself was very basic, lacking even simple amenities. Despite booking a two-room apartment, we received only two blankets for three people. There was no kettle in the room, and when we requested one, they forgot about our request. It took three calls and over an hour before it was finally delivered. The reception staff often provided inaccurate or confusing information—it felt like they didn’t really know what they were talking about. We paid €40 extra for a late check-out, and parking was also an additional charge. Essentially, any request comes with an extra fee. Overall, this was a disappointing stay, and we definitely won’t be returning.

The airline changed our flights so we needed one night somewhere else in Tenerife. We chose this hotel as it was a bit out of town, as didn’t want somewhere noisy. We were a bit apprehensive, but we were very nicely surprised by this hotel. We received a friendly and helpful service on check in - always a good start. Although the room was a bit dated, it was HUGE and clean with lots of toiletries for our stay. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The area surrounding the hotel was nice and we had a few miles’ walk into the town that night for food. There was music on until 10:00ish which was loud but I was so tired I went to sleep anyway. The gym had enough dumbbells and space to have a bit of workout. The breakfast room was nice and there were so many healthy (and vegan) options for breakfast. Definitely wasn’t expecting as much as there was! Our check out was as pleasant as our check in. We both commented on how polite the man was. Although the pool scene probably wasn’t for us for a longer holiday, this hotel gave us everything and more for what we needed for one night. And for the price… my 5 stars are based on this.

Just got back from a week here, I have stayed here before which was brilliant. hotel room is kept clean,lovely cleaners nice and big room. Beautiful pool area that was cleaned every morning and good selection at breakfast. Only things was people was sometimes loud at night by drunk people but that only happened on one night & one of the hotels staff was quite rude when we was leaving. Hotel is a 20 min walk away from the main bit but cheap in taxi which are always waiting for you.

Large bedroom, huge bathroom and really big living room! The balcony in my suite was wrap-around and had really pleasant views across the golf course. I enjoyed a lovely full body massage in the spa and then sat in the whirlpool and sauna afterwards. The spa experience was, on balance, very pleasant but I think someone forgot to turn the steam room on that day as it was cold. Slightly less positive would be my breakfast buffet experiences.. the hot food is not always super nicely-cooked and it was often cold when I got to it (and I had various breakfast times). If you're very careful with what you choose, however, you can really fill yourself with things you'll enjoy (if you're a versatile eater). The staff were generally quite professional and friendly but, common to Tenerife, there seemed to be an underlying resentment simmering below the surface in around half of the people I interacted with. It's hard to complain about that when the very problem is the people they are serving... us tourists that don't often speak Spanish! Lastly, the pools are lovely and warm - actually heated, not just for show! I enjoyed my stay at Gara Suites and would stay again. Just don't expect much at the buffet and wear something on your feet as the floors aren't especially clean...: manage your expectations of what is a relatively cheap hotel and you'll be happy.

Mixed Experience: Spacious Rooms and Great Location, but Several Drawbacks! Pros: Big room & bathroom Big balcony with pool view Big swimming pool with warm water Enough beds around the pool Digital safe box in the room Good location (easy to access the city center by walk or by taxi) Close to Siam Park Easy to get to the TFS airport (15-minute ride) Cons: The rooms were not soundproof, making it easy to hear noise from neighboring rooms. The furniture in the room was old and outdated. The bed and pillows were basic and not so comfortable. There was no iron or electric kettle in the room. Some of the food and fruits at the breakfast and dinner buffet were not freshly made, and the coffee quality was very poor. The hygiene measures at the restaurant were lacking; I found a fly on the meat (where they were serving a warm dish) and a live worm in the salad! The entertainment during the day and night shows was minimal and did not attract many guests. There was no free tap water at the restaurant; you had to pay for a glass of water. The gym equipment was minimal and most of it was not functioning properly. The staff, in general, were not friendly (except for the animation guy), so you did not feel welcome at this hotel. You had to pay a deposit of 20 Euros to borrow a pool towel, and you could only renew it between 10:30–11:30 at the spa. Parking was paid at 10€/night. Poor WiFi in the room.
