Rooms are tidy and cleaned daily. The room I was with my friend has a nice view to the sea, pool and to the beautiful city. The room was modern and old at the same time and it's great when you only sleep and chill in there. Our wishes from the booking were also listened and granted by the staff. One minus point is that there are only 2 power outlets. The service is extremely good and everyone in the staff is super nice and welcoming. To our hotel stay we had breakfast everyday and I was really surprised when we got to the first breakfast of the vacation. There was so many opitions where to choose and everything tasted so tasty and amazing. I really recommend taking the breakfast as a part of staying in this hotel. Just so delicious. The pool is pretty small but it's also big, and surrounding it there are great sunbeds where you can enjoy the sun. You can also either wake up to the birds singing or noisy neighbors. Walls here are kind of thin, but it didn't really bother us. The hotel is placed on a good spot and has great views. But still it's in the middle of nowhere that the closest market is pretty far away. The food places are also over 1km away from the hotel. We still walked everywhere bc it wasn't that bad even though there were lots of uphills. I recommend going to the hotel by bus or taxi if you have heavy luggages with you. It was pretty hard to climb up to the hotel in such hot weather with really heavy luggages. Thankfully this place has nice people who helps people. I recommend this lovely hotel…

Hotel basic Room 608 avoid like a broom cupboard and filthy we complained at 2am on arrival and was told we would be moved the following morning then to be told the hotel is full no rooms !! They would move us the next day but again no rooms free ! The rooms on level 6 are appalling the shower was so small you couldn't bend down to pick anything up the shower trickled like a dripping tap no pressure the hot tap in the sink had no water coming out at all, no balcony as shown in broucher or online!! The blankets on the bed were filthy we took them off and used only a sheet, the toilet was positioned at an angle so you could not sit on it front wards very strange set up it was like a hostel room ,the windows opened but awful and dirty, the receptionist was the bar tender which was a joke if he was doing something else you had to wait for him to finish at one point he had gone to some rooms in hotel and we waited and waited it was like faulty towers! Hotel food expensive 12.00 per head lot cheaper else where for the choice. The hotel is not close to anything we walked to the beach took us 45mins so taxis it was for 5 euros, there is a small shop out the back door and just down the road 5 mins max we found this by accident I have travelled for 40 years as a family now as a couple and this hotel is prob the worst rooms I have ever stayed in !!! The staff were aware of the room as they agreed with us and knew what room we were in when we spoke to them Hotel looks OK from the outside and maybe the new rooms are different but unfortunately we didn't see or get to go in one of those Would I use again defiantly not …

Dear Sam First of all we would like to thank you for devoting part of your valuable time to share your opinion about your stay at our Hotel. We are very sorry for the incidents that you have detected during your stay, we would have liked to have recorded them during your stay since they had been repaired or another alternative would have been offered, for this reason our technical service wasn´t able to assist you since we did not receive any communication during his stay of the aspects he comments. On the other hand, we also want to inform you that you chose a type of room called best price. These rooms have certain characteristics such as that they do n´t have a balcony. In any case, your room was located in an area where you could enjoy spectacular views towards the center of the port of loa cruz, we regret that you have not been able to appreciate it To the extent of our possibilities we strive to offer alternatives to our clients, for this reason what to you is a joke for us is to offer good customer service, despite the fact that the dining room is closed, any client can buy drinks at our reception In the vicinity of the hotel we can find 3 restaurants, two supermarkets and a cafeteria, our Hotel is located 1.2 kilometers from the nearest beach and the downtown area with different transportation alternatives such as taxis or using public transportation right in At the back of our hotel there is a bus stop where a bus goes to the center We will continue working in order to continue improving every day. Receive a cordial greeting from the Globales Hotel Acuario customer service team.

You get what you pay for. There is no indoor pool!( as advertised) Staff were very friendly. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Food adequate. Great resort but a bit of a trek to beach and other attractions.

me and my friend stayed 23rd to 27th Feb 2023. We were allocated a ground floor room very close to the main entrance. The room was small, but adequate and it was clean. There was an outside space but it didn't get any sun. Breakfast was good with lots of choice, evening meal not so good, there was choice but it was all luke warm and we didn't enjoy it, we ate out twice instead. The hotel is clean, a little dated but fine, unfortunately the bar was not open at all, you could get a drink at mealtimes but not even a coffee during the day, only vending machines available. To get in to the main town is a goof 20 minute walk down steep hills, and coming back is a good hour up the same steep hills. We walked up once, the other times we taxi'd but only 5 euros so no complaints. We would stay again as it was cheap and did all we needed it to do.…

For a 2 star hotel, this place is worthy of more, spotlessly clean throughout, breakfast top class, great selection to choose from and in plentiful supply. Staff are very friendly and always ready to help. Can’t fault the place at all, I sometimes wonder why people complain. You get what you pay for and more. The only thing negative is the location, but this is not a negative on the hotel at all , it is a climb not for the feint hearted or those in Ill health take a taxi, at €5 it’s nothing , overall top class in my opinion and would be happy to return .

The hotel for the money I paid was to standard, in location, and decoré. The staff however were above standard with friendliness from the restaurant staff to the cleaner. The food was again to standard and New Year’s Eve was amazing, with lovely peppered pork steaks! I miss my daily salad with salsas and salsa verde dressings! I was out most days at the beach or site seeing and nights partying but what I needed from my stay as half board, ticked the boxes! Thank you!😀
