Bra men uoversiktlig
Pros:

Flott område, bra fasiliteter

Cons:

Vanskelig å vite hva som var inkludert med all inklusive, de hadde for mange valg, var ikke klar over red level og at det var mange dårlige løsninger som ikke ble dekket av. all inklusive .
Uoversiktlig og mange ekstra kostnader som kom.
Beliggenhet var dårlig
Ingen sentrum i nærheten, vemmelige gater rundt. Måtte 25-30 min i taxi til shopping og restauranter .

I'd go back
Pros:

A lot of sports activities throughout the day. Nice staff. Clean. Great breakfast.

Cons:

Smell of sewage at night, likely due to illegal spillage.
No heating and no spare blanket. Pillows weren't comfortable either.

Achtung: 2-Klassen-Hotel!
Pros:

Telweise kostenlose Parkplätze, wunderschöne Poollandschaft, gepflegter Garten, teilweise beheizte Pools, Adults-Only-Bereich, großer Balkon.

Cons:

20-minütiges warten auf das Zimmer, obwohl Ankunft rechtzeitig angekündigt und bestätigt.
Lage des Zimmers gegenüber Glaskontainern, welche reichlich genutzt wurden.
Baustelle direkt gegenüber, welche in der Zeit von 09:00 -15:00 Uhr entsprechende Geräusche verursachte.
Genussvolles Frühstück nur bei zeitigem Aufstehen, möglich, sonst verbunden mit Anstehen und krach.
Angebot des Frühstücks gut, jedoch nicht exklusiv, wie von einem 5-Sterne Hotel erwartet.
2-Klassen Hotel, was nicht aus der Beschreibung bei Booking hervorgeht (einige Restaurants und bestimmte Bereiche dürfen nicht genutzt werden). Preis-Leistung enttäuschend.

La disposition de l’hôtel et son restaurant (sauf Oasis)

La piscine chauffée pourrait l’être davantage
Pas grand chose à faire en dehors de l’hôtel si ce ne sont les balades autour du Teide

Insgesamt enttäuschend
Pros:

Schöne Architektur, nahe am Strand gelegen, schöner Innenhof

Cons:

Leider war mein Aufenthalt im Hotel Isadora insgesamt sehr enttäuschend. Von Erholung konnte keine Rede sein. Bereits morgens ab etwa 6:30 Uhr herrschte eine enorme Lautstärke durch Kinder, die schreiend und kreischend durch die Flure liefen. Rücksichtnahme durch andere Gäste war kaum vorhanden. An Ruhe oder dem Lauschen von Vogelstimmen war nicht zu denken – zeitweise fühlte es sich eher wie an einem stark frequentierten Bahnhof an. Ruhezonen gibt es nur sehr wenige, eine Wohlfühlatmosphäre kam nicht auf. Insgesamt sind einfach viel zu viele Gäste gleichzeitig im Hotel.

Die Größe des Hotels bringt zwar eine grundsätzlich gute Infrastruktur mit sich, allerdings leidet die Qualität deutlich darunter. Das zeigt sich auch deutlich beim Frühstück. Wenn man nach 8:30 Uhr zum Frühstücksbuffet geht, muss man mit langen Schlangen rechnen – bereits bei der Registrierung, um überhaupt einen Tisch zugewiesen zu bekommen. Anschließend setzen sich die Wartezeiten fort: sowohl an der Kaffeestation als auch an der Eierstation (für frisch zubereitete Eierspeisen) bildeten sich regelmäßig lange Warteschlangen. Ein entspannter Start in den Tag ist so kaum möglich.

Die Zimmerreinigung war ebenfalls unzuverlässig: Mülleimer wurden nicht regelmäßig geleert, Seifenspender nicht nachgefüllt, Handtücher trotz Wunsch nicht immer gewechselt und der Glastisch im Zimmer war mehrfach nicht richtig gereinigt.

Auch die Tiefgarage empfand ich als problematisch. Sie ist sehr eng und durch die vielen Säulen unübersichtlich. Dadurch habe ich mir sogar eine kleine Schramme am Auto zugezogen, weil ich die Enge unterschätzt habe.

Zusammenfassend stimmt für mich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis überhaupt nicht. Zwar ist das Hotel gut gelegen und wirbt mit schönen Bildern, doch die Realität hat mich stark enttäuscht. Ich werde dieses Hotel definitiv nicht noch einmal buchen.

Lovely hotel and very friendly staff.
Pros:

It was a lovely hotel, just a little dated. The staff were all helpful and friendly, and the restaurants were also very good, especially the French one.

Cons:

Not much we didn't like, just the sales push to sign up for discount holidays.

Vi havde forventet en bedre oplevelse på et 5 stjernet hotel
Pros:

Meget flot hotel, personalet var meget venligt og hjælpsomme.

Cons:

Der var ingen hynder på solsengene.
At man skal bestille bord på restauranterne 48 timer før er ikke ok på et 5 stjernet hotel.
Skybaren var kun åben 3 dage.
Der var utrolig meget støj i morgenmads restauranten, der burde være et område kun for voksne.
Rengøringen på værelset kunne have været bedre.
Der burde også væres stillet frem vand på værelset hverdag, det fik vi kun den første dag.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Overall, the property is nice and has potential. The breakfast was good. Room service was fast.

Cons:

- When we arrived, the bathroom trashcan was overflowing with used sanitary products - it took a couple of phone calls and an interaction with the staff that ended with them saying “this is not my job” for that to be taken away. In general, the bathroom was in an urgent need of some deep cleaning (see the picture).
- We didn’t have bathrobes in the room, despite the description specifying they would be there - again, we had to call and wait about long time for them to be delivered.
- We were told to exchange one of the tokens we received at check in for pool towels, which we did. When we tried to return the towel, the pool concierge said he wasn’t working anymore (it was 6pm), refused to give us back the token and said we should take the towel back to the room and hand it in at checkout.
- When checking out, we noticed an extra charge on our invoice. When we asked what it was for, we were told “baby club”. It was removed once we pointed out we had no baby 😂
