Hotel Suite Villa Maria

We had the best holiday ever! So hard to beat, that we’ve booked again for next year. We booked a duplex 2 bedroom villa with jacuzzi as a family of 4. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage. Kitchen well equipped with microwave, oven, hob and large fridge. Large bathrooms with good showers. Lovely outside space, with table and chairs, 2 sun loungers, and sofa. Also an upstairs terrace/balcony with lovely views and 2 comfy chairs. Staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We had an issue with being booked into the wrong room which was a shame but this was rectified on the 2nd day and we were compensated for this. Next year I will confirm room directly with the hotel before hand to make sure. Plenty of sun loungers in the communal areas (no need for anyone to reserve with their towels… on of my pet hates!). Pools were warm and there was a lifeguard on duty 10am - 6pm everyday. The breakfasts were absolutely amazing. Our children were in heaven (donuts, waffles, pastries, loads of lovely fruit, yoghurts, chocolate sauce etc). Also many breads, cold meats, salmon, and cooked breakfast items. Not to mention, juices and coffees were lovely too. And an actual fresh orange juicer. We walked to Calleta or Adeje most evening. It’s only half a mile up the hill from Caleta so really not a big walk unless you have mobility problems. There is also a general bus from the bottom of the hill to the bus station near Siam park (definitely worth a visit if you have children) in Adeje (only 6 euros one way for 4 people). The only negative I could honestly find was the beaches. But we compromised on that for the lovely hotel. We’re keen runners and found lots of running routes both road and off-road too.

Our happy place… we visited once again as a total group of ten, aging from 11 to 76. There is something for everyone here, bringing us together. We love this low key luxurious family resort. The staff are incredible, in particular the amazing Bea who runs the kids club, her wonderful sister Laura who is one of the supervisors at breakfast and lunch and Rafaella who runs the breakfast and lunch brilliantly. They go the extra mile to make us feel special. There have been some updates this year, the bar has moved upstairs and this is now a real destination. We will continue to visit so long as the sun continues to shine on La Caletta, the wonderful staff remain smiling and the standards remain high.

The villas are what makes this place 5*. So well equipped, with beautiful decor, comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture. There's nothing not to like. We used our villa and garden (with Jacuzzi) every day. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The pool is also very nice and mostly quiet. Never had an issue finding sunbeds at any time of day and there is a poolside snack bar for daytime refreshments. We never ate here during the day as we tended to eat at the villa for lunch if we weren't out for the day. Service is mostly excellent at this hotel. Most staff around the hotel are very friendly and helpful. The cleaning team always say hello and it makes a difference 😊 The hotel has the best of both worlds. However, I do believe slight improvements could be made to enhance the experience further. We ate at both restaurants in the evening and although the service and ambience was good, the food was quite underwhelming, especially for the price. I'd definitely recommend dining out in one of the lovely restaurants in La Caleta instead. There is a rooftop bar. The barman is great and makes lovely cocktails. There was a DJ on some (but not all) evenings. This created a nice atmosphere on those nights. It was empty at other times. The hotel did feel exceptionally quiet most of the time, so I do feel some further evening entertainment, such as live music might go a long way to improving the atmosphere. There is a plaza next to reception that is the focal point of the hotel, but this also seems under utilised. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would consider staying here again. With improvements to the food in the restaurants and a few more evening entertainment options, it could be even better.
