Iberostar Grand Salomé

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Grand Salome. It was our first time at this particular hotel but most certainly won???t be our last. We received a very warm welcome from the reception staff on arrival and were then greeted by Kim who was so lovely and extremely helpful. We were shown to our beautiful room which was very special with modern decor and gorgeous views. All the staff are a credit to the hotel and nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is in a fantastic location with plenty of restaurants, bars and shopping on the doorstep. We would like to thank Kim, Diego and all the staff and we can???t wait to return.

This was our second visit to the Grand Salome in Costa Adeje and again it doesn't disappoint. The suites are just beautifully positioned overlooking the hotel's pool and the sea and so quiet. The breakfast room again, stunning views across to La Gomera, the buffet is very good, but you have the option to cross over into the Anthelia Breakfast room, which has a far bigger choice and take your breakfast to the Salome's breakfast room with the stunning view. The team in the breakfast room are very helpful, very friendly and efficient. The suite was just as last year, but with an eye to the environment with bath products in larger containers attached to the walls, so much better than those fiddly little bottles. The bed is very large, and comfortable, large TV on the wall,a safe that's not fiddly to operate, an Iron and mini ironing board, an excellent hairdryer and straighteners too, never had that before and nice addition. Plenty of wardrobe space, drawers and space for shoes. The sitting room has a large sofa, plus chair, coffee machine, free water delivered daily, fruit and of course a bottle of fiz and chocolate covered strawberries, to welcome you, oh how I love those strawberries! TV lots of plugs, a desk with chair. A very large covered terrace, with table and chairs and sunbeds, with towels, privacy if you want it. The pool is absolutely fabulous, there's no problem finding a place, sun or shade, with double sunbeds or single beds with canopy, a Hydro pool, oh loads of space. There is a check of the pool water on a regular basis, so you know its safe to swim in, what's interesting is the pool side is never busy, so no need to put towels down to reserve your place, lots to go round. Free alcohol at the poolside bar, its just there help yourself. Free afternoon tea with very tasty cakes. The hotel is completely separate from the Anthelia, but we can dip in to their entertainment or drink in the bar listening to the excellent pianist. There is a Spa we didn't use this year, but very good Masseuses. You can eat in the various restaurants in the hotel, but we prefer B&B as there are lots of excellent restaurants within walking distance, one is spoilt for choice. Adeje is beautiful, quiet no loud music and lovely beaches. Something for everyone, we will return.

We were on an all inclusive basis. You do share the restaurants with the bigger Anthelia hotel. We enjoyed many meals at Portofino where the food was excellent and the staff were lovely. The buffet at Zeus wasn't bad. The food choice was very good but we do prefer to be served at the table. The fine dining restaurant, Poseidon , was a big disappointment. Serving ice cold red wine and when my husband asked for a port to finish his meal, he requested that it didn't come from the fridge, they heated it up and he couldn't pick up the glass! We cancelled all our other bookings there and wouldn't return! On our anniversary Kim arranged a meal at Seasoul (originally booked for Poseidon!) which is just outside the hotel and open to everyone. The food was excellent and they made a fuss of us too, which made the day very special. We will certainly return to the Salome in the future. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so very special.
