Barcelo Teguise hotels

"There wasn’t much selection when it came to the food, so we struggled with options throughout the stay. The resort itself is very quiet, with no music or atmosphere during the day, which made it feel lacking in energy for us personally. The pools look amazing visually, but they were far too cold to properly enjoy — even the supposedly heated pools didn’t feel warm or inviting enough. There also weren’t any daytime activities organised to get guests involved or create a bit of atmosphere around the resort. The staff were friendly, although not particularly accommodating. We asked if we could book the Crown service for just one day as we weren’t staying long enough to meet the three-day requirement, but this was refused and we were told it was at full capacity. In all honesty, the resort didn’t appear full, so it was disappointing they couldn’t be more flexible. Overall, the resort is beautiful to look at, but for us it felt more style over substance. It’s probably ideal if you’re looking for complete peace and quiet, but it just wasn’t the right vibe for us and unfortunately we wouldn’t return."

"Pools and rooms were clean. A lot of the pool loungers were broken but ample and the rooms were not soundproof at all. Housekeeping were very good and attentive. The food however, was not good at all. Beans at breakfast were like cold pebbles, the chocolate sauce for pancakes was more like chocolate water. For dinner, unless you like cold pasta or lots of seafood I wouldn’t recommend."

"Bed and breakfast only but food we had was excellent. Staff really good. Facilities good. Main downside was the room which has a crazy layout putting wardrobe behind the shower and washbasin and away from the bed. Washbasin stand was too small to put all cosmetics etc to be at hand. Nowhere to hang towels in shower. Sliding doors to shower and toilet awkward and noisy. TV was on wall in such a position that it was at an angle from both bed and settee. TV was fixed in one position so angle could not be adjusted. Mini fridge door was difficult to close. Coffee/tea maker on a different electric circuit (why?)which was faulty. The designer probably thought the layout was "boutique" but it was just annoying."

"Very good staff room good after 1 st room was not to good did however get better placed room but only 1 1 thing was we and bathroom door didn’t close as swelled up that much it needs replacing rather than a towel on floor to keep shut as you go to loo or shower "

"Excellent stay"

"Good location and friendly staff except for the men on reception. hotel needs lots of maintenance in rooms and spa area very tired. Food ok but cold if you didn’t go in at start of service and very limited choice."

"Truly excellent stay. From the food to the amenities, everything was top notch."

"Not clean, run down with skirting board hanging off walls etc, broken furniture, partial sea view was only from the bedroom window but over a building site for Kora Maresía (a new hotel). You could see a slight glimpse of the sea. The balcony looked onto the car park out the front and the kitchen to a burger shop and diving school. Locally there were only Irish bars with people drunk from 10am so there was not much for us to do. The swimming pool was disgusting with stagnant looking water with cushions around the pool looking extremely old and brown stained. The bedding was itchy from the bleach (we hope rather than anything else). "

"Fabulous and friendly staff really made the stay. Great cocktails and wonderful facilities. "
