HOVIMA Jardin Caleta

We have just returned from a family holiday here. This is a good hotel in a peaceful location, lovely walk down the sea front. The area is very quiet which suited us perfectly. Taxis into adeje were cheap for those who prefer busier resorts. Rooms were clean and the few issues we had were rectified straight away. Never an issue getting sunbeds at any point during the day. Food was nice, although difficult to order a drink sometimes in the evening due to the staff being so busy. The views from the seating area outside the restaurant were lovely. Entertainment was good, Amanda from the animation team is fantastic and does an amazing job with the children! My son did a variety of activities with her which he really enjoyed, such as t shirt painting. Amanda also let him join in the water basket game despite him being very young, which was really kind. She made a huge effort to greet us and our baby every day and is fantastic at her job. Sandro on the reception also was really helpful and explained everything well on check in. We would definitely return here in the future. It was well worth the price we paid.

Stayed 8 nights all-inclusive (2 adults, 2 children aged 10 & 13). Overall, a decent 3-star hotel and good value for money. Positives: Rooms are a good size with kitchenette and large balcony. Pool area is well maintained and the mini fridge was restocked daily with drinks. Food was better than expected for a 3-star—great salads, good breakfast choice, and nice stone-baked pizzas. Sunday BBQ was a highlight. Staff like Sebastian (sports pool), Jose (pool bar), and Amanda (entertainment) were excellent. Negatives: The hotel is clearly understaffed—long queues at the bar, tables not cleared quickly, and items like cutlery running out. Entertainment was limited and inconsistent. Rarely offered drinks at meals. Issues on arrival with air con and bedding. Pool bar ran out of beer during the day. Area is quiet with restaurants nearby. Beach close by is stony, but a sandy beach and Costa Adeje are a short distance away. Siam Park is a must. Overall, a standard 3-star—some good points but let down by staffing. Would consider returning at the right price.

We just got back from holiday in Tenerife we stayed at this hotel and we had amazing time ,rooms clean spacious, pool area is always clean , lovely entertainment by Amanda, she is such a sweetheart got adults and kids involved into activities. Hotel located in La coleta area which is so close to Costa Adeje and tbh everything , there is 467 bus that takes you los cristianos or Costa adeje easy communication, the beach near it with a black sand my child loved to explore. We booked as breakfast and dinner , breakfast there was always something to choose from , as for dinner some days we struggled find things we like but I guess it’s same at most hotels we ever been. Overall I would recommend the hotel for family holiday, away from busy roads and peaceful environments.

We had a lovely time at this hotel. Rooms were clean and enough for what we needed. We needed to switch rooms through no fault of their own but they kindly upgraded us which we didn't expect. Really close to the beach and only 14 minutes roughly to Siam Water Park. Close to the next town with a lovely sandy beach, shops and restaurants. The cleaners and reception were really polite and helpful. There was some entertainment on in the main sports bar but we never heard the noise from our rooms when we wanted an early night. Taxis are really cheap compared to the UK and reception order you one which turns up within 5 minutes. Right next to a little shop if you need water wine etc. Their was a good variety of food. All 5 of us found something to eat. The only problem we ate too much. The only disappointment was the other guests putting towels on the chairs and not going to pool! This isn't the staffs fault but I don't think it should be allowed. This happens everywhere though.

Overall good, I'll break it down more: Location; nice location, top end of Adeje, close to a small beach, a few shops, mini marts and restaurants around, if you want it more quite and family orientated go here, we took the bus [ 467 ] into Adeje a few times €8 for 6 of us so cheap enough, only downside here is the transfers, 1hr 30mins on the way in and 2hrs 10mins on the way home - not the hotels fault but On The Beach, if you want to stay here consider a taxi/Uber or car rental from Airport! Good views of the sea, parking around the back the street if you're renting a car, hop over the road to the beach (beach is nice but pebbly at near end) also on Atlantic so expect waves/breakers for small kids head into town and the more family friendly beaches if you want little ones to paddle etc, but great for us Food; not bad, its a small hotel, decent food the options obviously a bit limited but we ate well every day, BBQ one night, plenty of brekky to go at, lunch probably the most limited but tea was fine, pizza great (own wood fired oven - nice and crispy!) for coffee hit the Lavazzo machine - the other is a bit milky and weak! We also got free beer and soft drinks in the fridge topped up every day (all inclusive), Pool Bar good there is free hotdogs, hamburgers, nuggets, buns, coffee and ice cream, nuts and slushies, plus the usual drinks, bars are good and nice selection, though on last night we seemed to have a barman that made everything in a tumbler and was orange, before that we got proper Mojitos, G&T, Cosmopolitans (in a nice cocktail glass) Tom Collins and 'Love is in the Air' whatever that is ( didn't have one myself) Rooms; nice, air con in ours was a blessing, serviceable, yes a little dated but nothing wrong with them at all, we say dated you could just say it was their style, beds were fine, yes firm but clean, well sprung and I had really good sleep, linen always clean, cleaners did a good job and we never had issues Facilities; we didn't use the Jacuzzi on the top floor but used the pools a lot, both adequate, nice temp not freezing not too warm, played pool ( 2€) foosball ( free) and did the Aloe Vera class (free plus 2 bottles to take away) used the book swap, accurate weighting machine handy at leaving time as we'd lost ours, didn't try gym or spa Reception; all good, helpful friendly, as were the 'tourist / tour office' in the foyer, we booked Siam Park and Loro Park through them, very helpful with maps, booking times etc, advise on the AVIS rental (though the self service kiosk kept failing so we used alternative in town in the end), got there before room ready but they gave us wristbands and let us eat and roam - left our luggage in a locker room so thats good (had hotels that don't and get real fussy when you leave but they went at all) Staff; all helpful , polite, friendly, only thing I have to say here is a few times they were short staffed (not staffs fault of course) but meant that some tables didn't get cleaned on busy times and your drinks could be a bit late on arrival So overall a nice hotel, nice location, quiet at the end of there bay, if thats what you want great - we wanted quiet - we also had a quiet week, got bit more hectic as we left
