Hacienda del Conde Meliá Collection – Adults Only – Small Luxury Hotels of the World

I am staying here at the moment. This hotel is fabulous in all respects. The staff are wonderful, cheerful and helpful, the buildings and gardens are kept immaculate and the food is delicious. If you are a golfer then the hotel is ideally located. We were here to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, the wonderful spa and the hotel facilities including the gym. If you are looking for lively nightlife then this is not for you but if you seek lush stunning scenery, a tranquil a**osphere and a relaxing holiday then this hotel has it all. We shall return!

All service was 100%. The room perfect and I enjoyed playing golf everyday for a week. We had the dinner buffet included, once a spa and unlimited golf. The views are stunning, the quality of the golf course great. Breakfast and buffet were high quality. I hope we'll get a change to go again soon.

It's 5 star and there's a lot to like, already detailed in other reviews. Lots of style, incredibly relaxing and superb for golfers. One or two little ******* though. Our sea view room... we could only see the sea if we were standing up! The balcony area resembled a concrete bunker - an architectural feature. Some rooms were very overlooked as well. Sadly we didn't think the food was 5 star. It's a shame they offer an evening buffet rather than a la carte dining (yes there is a small restaurant offering a tasting menu, but we didn't fancy octopus and goat.. although I applaud the hotel for showcasing local cuisine). As others have noted, the 'hot' buffet was anything but and we found the main courses bland and on occasions overcooked and tough. One or two waiting staff were really inexperienced but I'm guessing that the remote location makes for staffing problems. Would I recommend, certainly for golfers and on balance the peace and quiet and space just about overcome the disappointing evening meals. Interestingly there has been news recently about the pressures tourism is putting on Tenerife and increasing objections by locals. We visited a very quiet seaside area a few kilometres away to see graffiti saying 'Tourists go home' but there was no feeling of antagonsim anywhere.

What a wonderful, wonderful hotel! Impressive architecture over several levels on a hillside, extremely well kept and clean, delicious breakfast and dinner buffets, beautiful rooms (judging from my spacious junior suite on level 1), dreamlike vistas over the Buenavista golf course and the ocean - and: the nicest and most helpful staff one can imagine. Will I return? Yes. Should you spend holidays there? Yes.

Location, hotel, food and staff all top marks. We esspecially enjoyed Salazar, amazingly high standard of food with impeccable service from Beatrix, Yurena and Juan... so much so that we spent 2 of our 7 nights with them. Simply fantastic!

Hotel is located comfortably beside the golf couse with magnificent views. Staff is very helpful and friendly! Buffet breakfast and dinner works well. Fine gourmet restaurant Salazar is good and the staff especially good. Room was very spacy, bed is a bit on the hard side and bathroom and shower are very good. Noice insulation between the rooms is very weak and we were unlucky to have noisy neighbours. Overall very enjoyable week at the Hacienda.

Overall an excellent stay at the Hacienda del Conde. We had a junior suite sea view. The room was excellent with super king sized bed, seating area, balcony with seating, a separate walk in closet and large bathroom with both bath and shower. Robes and slippers also supplied plus a paid for mini bar. The hotel has a quiet, chilled out vibe with plenty of space, plenty of sunbeds and different areas to relax in. There are 2 pools, one is supposed to be heated, but if it is, it's not heated much. It was quite bearable though, once you were in. Included are a number of daily activities such as yoga and similar activities, also an occasional local excursion. An excellent feature is the lounge next to reception where you can pick up free tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks. Great if you're half board and just want something light for lunch. We went half board as there are not many restaurants nearby. Overall the food was good enough but not outstanding. Breakfast is excellent with loads of variety and a custom cooking station for omelettes, Pancakes etc. Dinner is similar and was good but we found the non cooking station hot buffet items not very hot. They do vary the menu quite a bit each day. They gsve snother restaurant but it's a paid for tasting menu, shame there's no a la carte for a change. Drinks prices we found to be reasonable. Overall service is relaxed, friendly and attentive. We didn't use the spa excepting the free activities. Make sure you take a walk or drive down to the coast. Great walks along the coast there. Also, we would advise not to follow satnav from the south. This will take you left at Tanque down multiple hairpin bends on small roads. Instead go through Tanque towards Icod on TF82. The roads are still very windy but better. It takes about 15 mjns longer but your heart will thank you. This is a true 5 star boutique, luxury hotel, we had a great time and will hopefully be back.

A tranquil wellness get-away with only a four hour flight from UK and a lovely 60 min drive over the mountain with beautiful views. What a difference between the crowded south of this island and the tranquil picturesque paradise north! Weather a constant blue sky 25... perfect for relaxing by the gorgeous landscaped pools, doing yoga/meditation in the shade of the botanical garden or on the sea view decked area. Hiking the most beautiful hills through tree lined sun dappled trails, open art coloured terracotta crags and flowering cacti... breathtaking. Breakfast can be a wellness treat of yoghurts, nuts, grains, fruits and kombucha juices or salads, cheeses, cooked choices, croissants and much much more! The Yhi spa is beautiful and the therapists are excellent. Waitress Mayer stood out to me as a genuine lovely professional person, but the whole team here are attentive and wonderful. Well chosen staff! My husband did golf lessons every day and has improved no end on this world class green - with outstanding views. His coach has lived here all his life and was so good with him! We will be coming back !!!!!!! Thankyou !!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Luci & David UK x

I've wanted to play Buenavista since we tripped up here on a day visit a few years ago so this island tour provided us with the opportunity to stay two nights here....I wish it had been more. THIS is what hotels should be like....no kids, luxurious, no kinds, quiet, no kids, relaxing...you get the idea !! Even our basic room was sensational and being away from the hotel was gorgeously quiet. The different levels take some navigating but the wonderful thing is you will always find space to be alone if you want it. The pools are lovely, loungers and towels plentiful. The buffet breakfast is one of the best I've ever had and even the evening buffet was remarkably good although the quality varied significantly over the two nights and we had cancelled our A la Carte night as the buffet was so good first night. My two 'gripes' you should NEVER have to pay for water in a hotel of this quality and perhaps there should be an all inclusive option for those of us who wanted to spend a little more time in the bar !!! The entertainment both nights was a nice touch ( the jazz band were superb) I absolutely love this hotel and we will certainly come back
