The stay was great because of Moana's wonderful service. Everything else was average. During rainy days they do not pay attention to detail and i slipped and fell on the stairs at breakfast which i did not like.
J’avais réservé une chambre pour une nuit au Canary Hotel & Spa, et j’ai finalement décidé de rester trois jours de plus et j’ai même eu le droit à un surclassement. L’hôtel que j’avais initialement réservé était en rénovation, donc cela s’est avéré être une véritable bénédiction ! Je suis extrêmement satisfaite de mon séjour. L’atmosphère est chaleureuse et agréable, les chambres sont propres, et le personnel est toujours attentionné, bienveillant et prêt à aider. Les massages sont de très bonne qualité et à un prix très raisonnable. De plus, la plage se trouve à seulement 5 minutes à pied, ce qui est très pratique. Le petit-déjeuner est également très complet et varié, avec du pain frais, des omelettes, des fruits, du café et du thé… Si je reviens dans la région, je n’hésiterai pas une seconde à séjourner de nouveau dans cet hôtel. Une expérience vraiment agréable et sans souci.

Das Fühstück und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und toll. DasBet war sehr bequem, nicht zu hart und nicht durchgelegen. Das Einzige was genervt hat war, das der Roomservice öfters Handtücher oder Toillettenpapier vergessen hat und der Hahn der in den frühen Morgenstunden direkt neben uns am krähen war.Aber das ist jetzt jammern auf hohem Niveau...alles in allem war es super und wir würden wieder kommen.
