Just back from 7 nights at the Mynd Adeje and had a fantastic stay! So the question I asked myself was, can a hotel be that good that it really justifies its 5* rating on here, the simple answer is yes it can! Hotel is beautiful, very modern and on arrival greeted by a lovely member of staff. Check in painless, almost self-check-in, with a welcome drink offered from the lobby bar. We had two double rooms booked and as per our request, they were close together, third floor. Looking out to sea - yes that side does look over a derelict building site but nothing the hotel can do about that and the view beyond is spectacular anyway. The rooms were bright and modern. As others have commented, there is a sink in the room itself which is actually really useful in that if the toilet/shower is being used then the sink is free. The shower/toilet area was massive, yes they are glass walls and door but they are frosted and so there is no issue with privacy at all if that bothers people. Shower was fantastic with rainforest style overhead shower. We were Half-Board and so benefited from the credit system. With 10% off bar and restaurant prices, the credits went along way and we didn't once feel like we were restricted to what we wanted to eat or drink during the day. Breakfast is vast and varied. If you want your full English, beans, sausage, black pudding etc, go elsewhere, this ain't for you. But if you are happy with a variety of fruit, eggs, bacon, yoghurts and various other healthy options its great. Breakfast served until 11.30 is a bonus so often no need for a lunch! Dinner is great to order of the menu a-la carte style. Its a large menu too so plenty of choice, including Canarian dishes plus they do four specials each day. Beers were good, El Aguila and Ocean on tap in particular. Wine choice was good too! Rooftop bar, pool and sunbeds is just spectacular, during the day and night. with sea and Mt Teide just some of the sites. Cocktails really good. View at sunset is amazing with sun setting behind the island of Las Palmas whilst we were there. DJ sets for a couple of hours on some days, chilled pipped music the rest of the time. Hotel is kept very clean with lots of staff. Restaurant and bar staff couldn't be more helpful and happier, lots of lovely chats and conversations. Pool area great, no worry about getting sun loungers and the pool whilst not heated wasn't freezing as it is not as deep as some pools we've been to Now the resort itself is very quite, couple of hotels, some apartments, two streets of bars and restaurants. So if you want the lights and chaos of the big three resorts down the coast then this isn't for you. The restaurants outside the hotel were good, Nebula being the nearest was great. Two supermarkets down the road too with good range of food and drinks if you want to stock up with snacks. Empty fridge in each room to use too. We hired a car for the week and plenty of on-street parking outside the hotel rather tha
