HOVIMA Costa Adeje

Very nice hotel. Smart, modern, and clean with good attentive service. Rooms could be a bit more luxurious with comfier beds and satellite tv, at least with Netflix, etc. Air conditioning is more of a fan than actual temperatures. Food: Good standard, but the choices are not huge. Location: You can see the sea, but it's a bit of a walk down various steps and slopes to the beach itself. Entertainment: Fun, light hearted abd varied, but the quality could be improved upon. The furniture in the theatre area is like plastic garden furniture. Overall: A nice experience, but a lot could be improved upon.

Stayed for 4 nights…the price was good for an all-inclusive resort. That said, the all-inclusive wasn’t as inclusive as we expected. Our first shock came with the daily fee for using the in-room safe, which we’ve never experienced in any of our European vacays. You’d think keeping things safe and secure would be in the best interest of the hotel. There was also a rental fee for the iron/board and beach towels…which we did get back. Dining experience on the premises was mediocre for what you’d expect. You were limited on how many times you could have dinner at their “premier” dining room based on how many days you stayed at their resort. We found the premier dining to be lacking in flavor…there was a nightly theme (we ate during the Asian dinner). Guests do have full access to a breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet if they paid for the all-inclusive package (I believe there are two, we had the entry level package). The buffets were better…though the menu didn’t change much over the 4 days we were there. While we didn’t expect top shelf drinks like Hendricks Gin, usual bottom shelf options like Bacardi and Smirnoff were not included in the all-inclusive drink options. The service overall was ok—most staff were patient and friendly. However, the dining staff wasn’t as attentive to the basics as we’d have liked (offering drinks as we sat at the buffet was inconsistent, delayed plate pick up, etc). The room had its hits and misses. It was fairly roomy, with a decent balcony. But: the queen bed consisted of two twins pushed together, only one side of the bed had an electric plug, and the balcony light was controlled by the hotel…and didn’t get turned off until after 11 pm to 1230 am each night. Bring your own wash cloth as well, they don’t provide this luxury. The gym at the hotel was surprisingly updated and spacious—see pics. The hotel definitely catered to an older crowd (60+)…so don’t expect loud or current music options at the pools or evening entertainment. The location of the hotel was VERY convenient to the beaches and coastal walking strip in Adeje. While the experience wasn’t “bad” per se, we’ll look to a more contemporary hotel for our next visit to the area.

Just back last night from a lovely chilled week of winter sun. Hotel is immaculate, staff are friendly and always work hard. Food was ok but maybe we’re just fussy eaters. Entertainment was fantastic, especially the night from the entertainment team. Big shout out and well done to them all (the tall guy was absolutely superb!). Our only downside were the beds - you could feel every spring but we didn’t report to reception. Location is great with only a 20 minute transfer. Didn’t venture much out of the hotel as we like like to sunbathe. All in all a great week was had.

Just back from another brilliant time at this hotel. It was our 4th visit there in 3 years and once again we were thrilled. The food is excellent, the staff are great and the public areas are very well cared for and spotlessly clean. Got to mention the housekeeping staff who are superb, our room was serviced every day and the girl who did it was lovely. One word of caution at the moment, not the hotel's fault but the roads around the area are being repaired and re-surfaced and at the moment there are not many dropped kerbs for a mobility scooter to get about easily. I'm sure the work wont be long being completed although we never saw any work going on while we were there. We'll be back soon I'm sure.

Lovely hotel. Rooms a little dated. Great selection of food. Could not see microwave to heat up scrambled eggs in morning. Chips are cold at evening. Excellent entertainment with carnival night. Staff very friendly and gave 100%
