Hovima Jardín Caleta Hotel in Adeje

La Caleta is beautiful and Hovima Jardin Caleta is a thoroughly lovely location to be based. The beach is right across the street (and down some steps) and is a lovely place to enjoy the sunset, with a cocktail bar and a live band. As for the hotel itself: Facilities are tired. Sitting in the adults only section (the unused rooftop bar, which appears to be opened only on Friday nights), no staff arrived to open the bar for the afternoon, as described in the hotel app so if you would like a refreshment, you need to go down four floors. No staff at all are circulating checking on the customer experience. The jacuzzi is waist deep and tepid, with the water line below the jets so they are unusable. Wait Staff at dinner are incredibly busy dealing with a volume of guests - clearly understaffed and unable to take drink orders. The hotel bar is completely unutilised, as the only real lounge in the hotel. It is dark and unwelcoming and not somewhere enjoyable to spend time. This could be a real asset during the day but it is currently abandoned, unwelcoming and unmanned. Regretted going half board as the food is fine if you have picky eaters (plain pasta and tomato sauce, chips etc) but not if you are expecting quality food. Skipped the hotel breakfast a couple of mornings to get a decent coffee and some (not tinned) fruit for my yoghurt. The rooms are spacious, superior room had two balconies which were used extensively, but showing their age, and the housekeeping staff do a great job in maintaining cleanliness. All together, if you have kids, especially those who are picky eaters, the hotel is adequate. It’s also lovely if you are there to enjoy peace and quiet of beautiful La Caleta on a self catering basis and sample the local restaurants. For everything else, I would choose another hotel.
