Luxury Hotels in Golf del Sur, Tenerife

"A pleasant place, with friendly staff and good-quality food, that is let down by the truly desperate physical condition of some of the rooms. The grouting in the bathroom of the room we were initially given was black and ugly, and there were cracks where the sealant was coming away from the bath. We rejected it as unacceptable and were shown two further rooms that were far from pristine but not nearly as bad. How this place can be rated as five stars beats me. There are signs of underinvestment in maintenance all around the place, with crumbling and cracked paving etc. The state of the bathroom in the room we were allocated would disgrace a one-star hotel in most countries I’ve visited. Does the Tenerife tourism board not care about its reputation as a luxury destination? When was the last time it inspected Barcelo? There are plenty of facilities (seven swimming pools for example) and activities, with a stage and nightly discos and shows, if you like that kind of Butlins-type atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay but I wouldn’t go back - this looks to me like a place that has been on a path of slow decline for some time. In the end, the (mostly) good service can’t make up for the lack of spending to keep the property in a condition that justifies its star rating. "

"Best breakfast I’ve ever had with the largest selection and highest quality. The pool beach setting is fabulous. Staff is wonderful and the restaurants are really unusually good."

"Breakfast good with good service and selection. Would definitely go back . Enjoyed the live music in lobby and the layout of hotel is very good."

"Breakfast and dinner could be a lot better. No theme food on an evening"

"I had such a fantastic time here for my 26th birthday I came on a solo trip. I stayed in one of the villas right by the sea and it was the most relaxing and beautiful place I’ve been to. Staff were very helpful and the self accommodation meant I could cook my own food "

"Nice Location, amazing staff, didn’t try the food, pool and gym were standard. Rooms were slightly dated but when it’s 20°+ all day who wants to sit inside?"
