Gf Isabel

A short 20 minutes drive from the airport. On arrival we were greeted by very helpful staff who quickly sorted us out with our rooms and bags transported to them . The rooms were spacious we had room 235 a corner balcony room at the far end of the village. As you enter room you have to put a key card in to the electric part to activate electricity. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was perfect for the temperature, the air con worked well and kept us cool. We had fresh towels most days if requested and the same for bedding also. The kitchenette was more than adequate there was a kettle,toaster, coffee machine,juicer, microwave and two ring induction hob, fridge with small freezer compartment. The dining area and sofa were perfect and the sofa bed ideal for my son ,all this was made up on arrival. The balcony had table and chairs . The bathroom was shower over bath and was very powerful, there were shampoo and body wash available and they were very nice , we didn't actually use ours at all.There were some handy items left on bathroom , shower cap,shoe shine, sewing kit and comb. The bedroom had a massive wardrobe with hangers and shelving and also a 6 chest of drawers. We had two patio doors out on to balcony . The pools were great the newest out towards the mountains had a gradual slope being good for all ages , the small one with slides was ideal for tiny children and the big one was good for all again having a gradual slope in it ,there were daily activities from water mat to aqua fit. The pool bar had good choice of drinks and food available for all inclusive. You could get food for all meals at the main restaurant and the choice was vast !! We ate here most days and always had something different on the menu and did theme nights . The evening entertainment was good and my son enjoyed the mini disco the entertainment staff were full of energy and good at including all the children. We watched a magic show and circus and there was also the 3 tenors , plenty of space to sit down in the courtyard as well as up on the balcony's if you prefer . The reception area was large and welcoming along with the staff . The courtesy room and luggage drop of area were very helpful when you had a late flight meaning you could check out and still have access to your bags and have a shower to get ready to go home . There was a small mini market on site which sold everything you could need . There was also plenty of pool tables dotted about and table tennis and some other games also for the children, they had different climbing frames around the village to use . The jacuzzi was lovely and was adults only there were plenty of loungers available to relax. If you needed a taxi the reception staff could organise this . There was a swap box in reception where people had left items for others to use , we had a bucket and spade out of there and left it for someone else when we left which was a great idea. The dining staff were friendly and there is always someone who goes above and beyond, you could only eat outside in main court yard for breakfast as the courtyard area was the entertainment centre for the evening. We had a fabulous 9 days in GF Isabel and will definitely be returning!

It's great I can't fault it much, however the complex is huge. The rooms are a good size and comfortable. I'm glad I came as the season is coming to the end, I don't think I could handle the amount of people that would be here at the height of summer. Food is alright nothing special but enough of it that you will not go hungry. There are enough restaurants within easy walking distance that offers nice food at a reasonable price. Beach is a short walk although hills can be tricky on the way back. My advice bring comfy shoes as you can do a lot of walking.

Reception manager great after a mix up with our rooms. Happy to change them and was very accommodating. Sandra in restaurant was excellent made specific efforts to meet my dietary requirements. Rooms very clean and grounds well kept. Strict rules around the pool not opening till 10am and lifeguards refusing to have inflatables at pool seemed rather ridiculous. Enterntainment was lacking and quite repetitive. Would I visit again No. Is this a nice venue for a 1 week holiday. Yes

We stayed here for a week from may the 19th and had an amazing time. When we first arrived at 2:30am the check in process was easy and staff made a great first impression, they looked after our luggage and took us to a small buffet in the empty restaurant where we had lovely fresh rolls with ham/cheese and fresh water bottles. We were then taken with our luggage on a vehicle to our bungalow, this is a really good service as doesn't wake other guests dragging luggage through the hotel to your accommodation. Our bungalow was lovely and had a private enclosed terrace, decor was dated yes but in my personal opinion was absolutely lovely and beds were nice and comfortable. No issues with the accommodation, we had an amazing spot which felt so private as was enclosed but still over looked the pool which was a bonus also featured a gorgeous view of the mountains which was lovely to sit out and watch in the evenings. Pool was fantastic and the entertainment staff made it so fun, my son had a great time and we spent much more time around the pool than we usually do on other holidays. Food was really nice, some nights better than others but overall we looked forward to eating breakfast & dinner. We didn't watch much of the evening entertainment but what we did see was highly entertaining and to a high standard. Cleaning staff were great and made our beds every day and even folded my sons pyjamas which was really sweet, they emptied the bins too. All the staff were extremely helpful and kind. On Check out day we had to be out our room for 12 in the afternoon and our transfer didn't arrive till 5:30, the use of a luggage room with changing facilities and showers allowed us to stay by the pool right up until it was time to wait for our transfer. The hotel also has a small sort of drive way with a bench which makes taking your luggage and waiting for taxis or transfers a lot easier. We will definitely be staying again and had an amazing time.
