GF Fanabe

Very nice hotel located just a short walk to the beach with local amenities just over the road. The room was a bit basic but had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, the bed was very comfortable as was the pillows ensuring a good night's sleep. I didn't interact much with the staff but from was I could see they were all helpful and very polite. The breakfasts was excellent with a very large and varied choice. My only concern was that on checkout they tried to charge me for drinks from the pool bar which I never used. Overall though it was a very nice stay.

Would you book a holiday here if you knew in advance that:- A) most of the pool is heavy in shade for large parts of the day B) you can only use the pools from 10am until 6/7pm C) That you can't leave your sunbeds unattended whilst you're family has breakfast D) if you don't sacrifice a member of the family to stay with beds whilst the rest go for breakfast they remove you're towels and someone else then takes them E) if you don't get up early at 5/6am you can't get a sunny spot for the day as they're all taken up with people sleeping to secure the families beds F) special rules apply for the disabled to get exemption cards so they don't have to wait with beds (they go as a family and eat breakfast together) G) if you're a regular or frequent stayer and you've befriended the towel remover you get special treatment nudge nudge wink wink H) That if you attempt to speak with the reception they tentatively listen and at the end of it point you to the poolside boards and shrug their shoulders (not their problem they comply with Spanish law) you're holiday is not their concern they've had you're money I) Around the pools there can be a very bad smell, no it's not the drains ( it's people smoking weed on the next or sunbeds close to you) easily solved you would think by management having a word (no not a chance they turn the other cheek and concentrate on you guessed it taking towels off) J) Cleaning around the pool is limited and if a family we're to vacate beds and you were lucky enough to get them you would most probably be moving all the rubbish that the all inclusive guests just left K) 410 rooms approximately and not enough beds for everyone and your like sardines in a tin (you only need the sauce between beds to rub up to the next person) L) Could you actually see yourself here ? (Think very hard before booking).

Stayed at this hotel many times over the years March and recently September We were a group of 5 ladies on a girls holiday . There was 3 in one room and 2 in another. My self and my friend were on the 3 rd floor room 369, the room had the most horrific smell we were above the kitchen over looking a entry it smelt like dirty cooking oil we were told that the kitchen wasn’t open 24 hours so it couldn’t be the kitchen . Ou friends in the other room 381 the leg fell of the bed and the bed lifted up we reported it in the afternoon when we returned at night they had just put the leg back under the bed , the bed was still broke , we went down again they sent some one to fix it eventually .The orange juice at breakfast time was that watered down you could see through it .the beans were watered down as well .I will not be returning to this hotel again and I was very disappointed .

Just returned back from a lovely family holiday. Room was very clean and cleaned daily. Staff were very polite and friendly. We had no issues with getting sunbeds. We always eaten out as I am a fussy eater. We enjoyed it that much we have just booked to go back in November.

🌟 My Home Away From Home: Two Incredible August Trips (Solo & Family!) Just returned from two separate, wonderful holidays at GF Fañabé (All-Inclusive) – a solo week from August 10th–17th, immediately followed by a family holiday with my sister, brother-in-law, and their three young children (girls aged 6 and my little nephew aged 3) from August 20th–27th. Having stayed here twice before in August (2022 and 2025), I already loved this hotel, but this year was extra special for me. A Massive Thank You to the Team (and Cristina!) First and foremost, I want to say a huge thank you to every single member of staff. A very special thank you to Cristina in Guest Relations: I cannot thank you enough for all our conversations prior to my arrival. I was recovering from major surgery and was extremely nervous about taking my very first solo holiday, but you completely nailed it when you reassured me I had nothing to worry about. You made me feel so safe and looked after before I even set foot on the plane! You also went above and beyond to reassure us as a family regarding the kitchen support for my nephew, who has ARFID. Knowing the kitchen team was happy to help with his food took such a weight off our shoulders. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. From housekeeping and maintenance to Reception, the bar staff, restaurant team, animation squad, and lifeguards: EVERYONE was incredible. Having worked in hospitality myself for 12 years, I know firsthand how demanding peak season is. The fact that the team consistently took moments to have genuine conversations, offer a warm smile, and deliver brilliant service while working so hard was truly special. A Gentle Reminder for Fellow Holidaymakers What actually upset me at times was the behaviour of a few other guests. On a couple of evenings, the internet signal at the pool bar went down. This meant waiting a little longer to order a drink, no issue at all! Yet I witnessed some argumentative behaviour toward the staff, which was completely unacceptable. Please be considerate, staff are doing their best, and I’m sure anyone can wait an extra 10 minutes for a drink! The same goes for general manners. It was frustrating seeing empty cups and rubbish left around sunbeds or pool tables. Interestingly, the three young children with us showed better table manners than some adults, my nephew and nieces actually found it exciting working out which recycling bin the rubbish needed to go in! 😁 The Hotel, Food & Entertainment The hotel itself is lovely. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and perfect for what you need (you don't spend much time in them anyway!). Food-wise, there was always a fantastic variety for breakfast (the pastries are amazing!), lunch, and dinner. For my solo week, having everything on-site meant I could just relax and recover at my own pace without any pressure to leave the resort. For the family week, it was absolute perfection. The kids utterly adored the dessert section, and we could always find plenty of delicious options for everyone. Regarding the "2 drinks per person" rule some reviews mention: I completely understand why it exists. Hotels have a duty of care and if rules like this weren’t in place, this could lead to some awful instances which they would be criticised for. However, the staff quickly recognised us during our family stay, knew we were ordering 3 adult drinks and 3 milk drinks for the kids, and were more than happy for one of us to collect them. Common sense and kindness always prevail here! The entertainment was brilliant and varied. If you want high energy, the animation team and evening acts are fantastic. If you prefer a chilled evening, you can sit at the front bar with live music and a cold drink. Location & Final Thoughts Costa Adeje is beautiful and GF Fañabé is perfectly situated: just 5 minutes in a taxi to Aqualand, 5 minutes to the beach, and 20 minutes from TFS airport. Thank you again to every single staff member for helping us create memories we will treasure forever. I loved it so much that I've already booked another solo holiday here for the end of October! I cannot wait to be back in your care. ☀️🌴
