Dream Hotel Gran Tacande – Costa adeje – Tenerife

Last year we went to a hotel in Menorca & were very disappointed. This year’s half term break we did quite a lot of research on this Internet site & Trip Advisor, etc, with pretty accurate reviews from those who have already visited. We were very impressed with this hotel.

As already described, it is adjacent to the beautiful Playa del Duque beach. The hotel has 3 swimming pools & although the largest isn’t heated, it didn’t bother us or our children.

The dining was excellent with a good choice for breakfast & dinner (not sure why Chinese is offered every night?!). The chefs were excellent in accommodating anything slightly different. The entertainment was a bit hit or miss but, as they say, if you have seen one-you have seen them all! However, it’s all pretty professional, no X Factor amateurs here!

Finally, the hotel was quiet during the day with a mix of older folks & those with younger families. Very pleasant really. No tattooed wives of Dutch lorry drivers here! Same goes for the beach.

The only negative areas would be: tennis is €10 per hour (and I have never paid to use a tennis court before), whilst the helo pad has free landing fees! There is no free wifi in the hotel room, however, you can pick up free wifi from the balcony from nearby hotspots!

We don’t often return to the same hotel/resort but we will definitely return here as it ticked all the boxes for us.
