Hovima Jardin Caleta

Perfect location with rooftop jacuzzi and loungers and spacious apartment. Spacious balcony with beautiful views of the beach and across to La Gomera. Five minutes walk to village seafront restaurants. Good swimming pool. Outdoor breakfast area.

Hotel built in the late 90s, right on seafront with panoramic views of the bay. The apartment was clean, beds comfortable, large balcony with pool view. Food was - ok- very slow to replace empty dishes. There are no sofa beds, just L shape sofa for additional guests. If you like walking turn right out of the hotel and head for La Caleta and their gorgeous fish restaurants, head for the steps that take you up to the headland, turn left out of the hotel and follow the beach path/promenade towards Las Americas and beyond. If you don’t want to walk take the bus instead, bus stop round the corner. The staff were all very nice and they did a great Halloween with everyone dressed up and pool disco at night. Will definitely return as we loved the quiet location

When we arrived in the night after a long day we were horrified at the room and comments made by people in the bar. After a good nights sleep things looked totally different. The room was tired and shabby but spotlessly clean. Good shower. The pool area is lovely. The restaurant is fine, lots of choice you can always find something you like. The staff are really friendly. The bar is ok, not a lot of choice of spirits. There was entertainment most evening’s some better than others but it was fine. Rooms were cleaned 5 days out of the 7 There isn’t a lot to do in the area mostly fish restaurants but the bus was every 20 mins to the next resort, very cheap and regular. After what we thought was a disaster we had a great time.

We have had a fantastic holiday. The staff here are so friendly, welcoming and work so hard to ensure you have a great holiday. The rooms are spotlessly clean, good selection of food and no problems getting a sun bed! The area is just stunning and we were lucky enough to have a balcony with a beautiful sea view. You could never tire of seeing that view - we really don’t want to go home ! Thank you to all at Hotel Jardin Caleta for a wonderful holiday we hope to return some day .

5 good points: 1. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful. They were all so kind to my children 2. The kids loved the pools. It was never too packed and there’s a lifeguard a few hours per day. It felt safe 3. La Caleta, where the hotel is, is beautiful, with a beach across the road 4. The one bed apt is enough space for 2 adults and 2 children, with kids on the sofa beds and adults in the bedroom 5. Ample food selection, including child friendly options like plain pasta and chips, fried English breakfast, they even have brown sauce 5 negative points: 1. Virgilio, who works mainly on the bars is cold and unfriendly. Avoided serving customers and pretended to sort the bar a few times 2. There were some cockroaches occasionally found around the hotel. They were mostly dead so they obviously treat them. It’s hot and humid so not that unusual 3. The bin trucks are very loud and come round at silly o clock in the morning 4. More of a mistake on our part but…it was too hot and we didn’t get aircon 5. Cleaners don’t come round every single day. Not a huge issue, but it meant we found a roach in our room one evening. That freaked me out a bit as we don’t tend to get them in the uk Overall, with a 3 and 6 year old, I would recommend, for this budget. We had a lovely holiday and the negative points did not ruin it for us.

Stayed here in May and appears to have got even better. We’re not ones for sitting by the pool all day but if you are get up early. If you are a couple there are beds on the roof terrace complete with jacuzzi which is never overcrowded. Hotel in a nice quieter area but if you’re looking for action only a short bus ride away. Great view from the room on the top floor with a remote controlled sunshade
