Find the Cheap Acantilado de los Gigantes Hotels

Wow, what a great find Barceló Santiago was. Today is our last day of six at this hotel and it was brilliant. A little more pricey than others but well worth it. • Absolutely stunning views. It’s definitely worth a little extra for a sea view room. The feeling of walking into our room on Monday with the curtains shut and pulling them apart to reveal the view was the most amazing surprise. The cliffs of Los Gigantes are breathtaking and I couldn’t stop looking through the window. • Good location. There are a good number of shops and restaurants around the hotel. Not an overwhelming amount but good enough for us. Express supermarket just outside the hotel was handy, however the sun cream is so expensive there so if you run out, I’d suggest going to Lidl about 10 minutes up the hill where it isn’t overpriced. We liked walking toward the port of Santiago where there is a small beach and lots of shops and restaurants. It only takes 15-20 minutes and it’s not too hilly. You can also walk the other way towards La Arena which has many more restaurants, bars and shops and a larger beach. Just outside the hotel we visited Alfonso’s bar and Torreón which both do lovely food, we would recommend giving them a go. • Super clean and tidy. The hotel feels very new and the entire place is well kept. The cleaners do a wonderful job in the rooms and the communal areas. • Friendly staff. The staff are very cheerful and all speak good English as well as other languages. The restaurant and bar staff are quick to serve you drinks to your table which is nice. • Food. Although the majority of the food was the same each night they did make an effort with themes. Mexican night was a personal favourite and the food was generally well cooked and always hot. My partner enjoyed the meat and fish on offer each night, however I ate mostly different stuff as I am vegan. I managed to find plenty to eat at lunch and dinner though - lots of salads and veg was available as well as beans, lentil dishes, potatoes and bread. You do have to be careful with the labels on food though. Things had vegan labels but listed egg or dairy in the allergens so just be wary of that if you need to be. Breakfast does get a bit boring though as you are restricted to toast, tomatoes, spinach and beans because mushrooms might have meat added or cheese is put on the potatoes. • Drinks. If you are fussy with drinks, it’s probably worth going for all inclusive plus. My partner and I like cocktails on holiday but they weren’t great. They are the typical all inclusive pre-mixes that aren’t the best so the premium ones are probably better. I ended up sticking to soft drinks and spirits because that seemed to be the safer option. • Outside areas. There are multiple large pools which is ideal in a large hotel like this. There were always enough sun beds too which was nice, never had to worry about those annoying people who reserve sun beds all day and you never get a chance at using one. •Entertainment. We par

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 10 nights. We upgraded to platinum which we would highly recommend if you want a nice relaxing break away! Our room was outstanding with one of the best views in the hotel and also very spacious. There are two platinum bars that you can use, all with branded alcohol... one by the pool and one in the main lobby next to the entertainment. The staff were lovely, helpful and friendly... especially when we would go to reception every morning to ask for the mini golf equipment!! The highlight for us was the food, it was the best food that we experienced at an all inclusive hotel with different theme nights each night. As pasta lovers we were in our element!! We booked our trips out through the hotel which was very swift and easy to do. It was very easy to get a sun bed in the morning unlike other resorts we had been to. Which was nice as you can have more of a chilled morning and not have to worry about it! As a young couple there was plenty for us to do... mostly 3 different options every night to decide between which was great! Being platinum guests we could relax in the platinum area while also going and joining the entertainment games in the main pool during the day if we wished. We also enjoyed going out of the hotel to the highland paddy Irish bar (a 5 min taxi ride which reception book the taxi for you). My only fault which could not be helped were that there were a lot of fly's, the hotel tried their best to sort it but it just seemed like a problem in the local area due to all the banana trees around. Thank you very much Landmar we had an amazing time!! And would recommend to every type of person as it seemed there was something for everyone.

This was our 7th time of returning to the resort - that figure alone says how much we love this place! The facilities are what you would expect of a 5-star resort - it’s the staff and the service they provide which keep us coming back, year after year. Special thanks this year go to the Red Level for Families Team - Rosana, Naomi, and Alicia. They help us in the week before our arrival with advance requests and bookings. Then, when we’re at the resort, they are our angels in disguise taking care of our every need. We wouldn’t holiday without them! The Red Level for Families breakfast team were great. Jorge, Beatriz, and Kare looked after us wonderfully as always. For Jorge in particular, this is our 5th year with him - his big smile and infectious happiness start the day off in a perfect way. Oscar, the Head Chef, made some amazing character pancakes for our boys! At the Oasis Bar, Jacob is our bartender extraordinaire! Nothing is too much trouble for him, even going above and beyond by bringing our orders to our Bali Bed when the service from the Pool Concierge Team wasn’t as we would have expected from previous years. He made sure we had relaxing days where we were very much taken care of. Thank you Jacob! Our experience on the Bali Beds didn’t start so well. Management have changed the way they are serviced and it means that they are now looked after by Pool Concierge and not the Oasis Bar staff. However, there aren’t yet enough staff members at Pool Concierge meaning each individual staff member now has to look after far too many Bali Beds and the service sometimes suffered because of this. Charging a premium but then not delivering a premium service didn’t work for us. Despite this, and after we’d raised our concerns, Aaron, Leonardo and Fernando did their absolute best and were really good. Our feedback to Management is that more staff need to be hired or you need to go back to having the Oasis Bar Staff servicing the Bali Beds like in previous years. It was so lovely to see German on the Terrace Bar. In previous years he has looked after us on the Bali Bed, so he’s always been a special member of staff for us. The team at Diversion once again took us out on an amazing scuba dive. This was our 4th time diving with them. Our boys started with lessons in the infinity pool and then have progressed over the years to sea dives. The next step will be for them to do a PADI qualification which they can also do with Diversion! Their passion for scuba diving shines through. Their care and attention mean we always feel safe with them. A final note for the DJ who plays on the Terrace on a Tuesday and Thursday. He was the DJ the first time we came back in 2018 and we loved him then. We were absolutely gutted that his contract wasn’t renewed for a few years, so we were delighted when he was back this year. He is very talented and creates an amazing atmosphere on the Terrace at sunset! Please keep him for many more years to come.

I stayed almost 3 weeks at Pensión Alcalá. I liked the cleanliness and tranquility of the rooms. There is a small fridge which is very handy. It's very clean and very quiet, the beds are comfortable. The ocean is only a few hundred meters away and in 10 min. by foot you arrive at the very pretty beaches of La Jaquita and the natural swimming pools. There are bars and restaurants close by as well as a shopping street and two supermarkets within a few minutes walk. Parking is very easy, there are plenty of free parking spaces.
