Santa Catalina a Royal Hideaway Hotel

This was our 6th visit to this hotel and our best experience. The hospitality, warmth, helpfulness and professionalism of the staff and kindness of the management was exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to our 7th visit!

We had a 1 week family stay just outside UK school holidays; 2 parents in one room and 19 year old daughter in another. We had 2 superior rooms with balcony, and the hotel placed us next to each other without us having to ask. The hotel is lovely and calm - all areas feel peaceful and restful. The rooms are very comfortable and the super king sized beds combined with blackout blinds meant that we slept really well. There was no late night noise or doors slamming like you get at some hotels The pool has plenty of sun beds, including double bed cabana types. all with towels provided and refreshed through the day The rooftop bar in the evening serves nice cocktails and the piano bar downstairs is a lovely place to relax in the evening We ate at the poolside bar during the day and once at the 1890 restaurant; service and quality very good at both The hotel is about a 20 min walk to the pedestrianised shopping area in Triana which leads to the old town (Vegueta). Lots of good shopping and nice restaurants for lunch/evening meal In the opposite direction is the beach area of Playa de Las Canteras, with a long promenade of more touristy shops, cafes, bars, restaurants. The 25 min walk there is through residential/commercial areas (safe but not pretty) but a taxi was less than €10 The hotel was a lovely oasis of peace and quality service and we very much enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommend
