JOIA Salomé by Iberostar -Adults Only

Stunning , very private , adults only hotel, with the most amazing staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble and service always delivered with a smile. The stay was so good we extended by a couple of days. A special thank you to Ruth, Vicky , Michelle , Lourdes , Alejandra and Palenzuela at the breakfast service and pool bar and Walter at the pool , for making this such an unforgettable experience.

For couples or families who want rather quiet and relaxed holiday, this hotel is perfect. Escaped from the neon lights, you can experience serene nights. The butler was friendly and professional. He and she made our stay here so special and personal. We highly recommend the stay at Iberostar Grand Salome!

Coming to Salome feels like coming Home . This is now our fourth visit here and there will definitely be many more . The welcome you receive the moment you step into the hotel is second to none . All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming .The Rooms are bright and airy with good feeling of space and with fantastic uninterrupted views of the sea. The feeling of relaxation hits you instantly . Although every member of staff are fantastic, I want to specially mention Jocelyn , one of our amazing butlers . Jocelyn knows what you want before you do , her attention to detail is incredible. She helped us sort out a small issue with our daughter’s room in neighbouring anthelia , there was no fuss , it was fixed . Within minutes of Jocelyn being informed .. Jocelyn is every inch of the 5⭐️ ,As is Vicky who is in the Mirador breakfast room and pool bar , Vickys smile would light up the darkest room , she is so so friendly , She also has the greatest ability to know what you like before you do .. Like Jocelyn , I hope they go far in this Hotel , They are both in my opinion Hidden Gems . If you are looking for the best hotel in Tenerife , the best views. Food and relaxation then this is the one

Beautiful relaxing Hotel where everything is catered for, fantastic staff who are so helpful, the service really is second to none. This is our second time here and will definitely come back. The suites are very spacious and they are serviced to a very high standard each day. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

3rd visit to one of our favourite hotels. Start with the positives. The rooms are still excellent. The staff are amazing - especially Josilin, Vicky & Ruth and Rebeca. But all the staff are a credit to the hotel. Unfortunately this time we experienced poor food at dinner on more than one occasion. In particular I was disappointed by Poseidon this time. The food lacked flavour and the menu hasn’t changed in 13 months. I think the menu needs an overhaul. Seasoul continues to be variable. Good one night - awful the next. The hotel knows about this but haven’t tackled the issue. We had a reservation for Seasoul on our last night but weren’t prepared to eat there again so tried to change to the only consistent restaurant at dinner - Portofino. Unfortunately it was closed on a Thursday night for “winter hours”. This is t acceptable as was not publicised and the Iberostar app had no mention of it. We were forced to eat at the buffet, which was very average. Probably won’t return after this visit unless there is a significant upgrade on the food.

The rooms are great, the food is excellent, and the staff are lovely! Being in Salome you get to know the staff who do the breakfast and lunch service, and all the ladies are very efficient and up for a laugh - Vicky, Rebeca, Alexandra, Ruth, and more whose names i didn't catch (especially the bartender with the long blonde ponytail who often made our evening cocktails). Nothing is too much trouble - from menu changes to helping us decorate for a birthday. Everyday they bring round a drink at the pool and a little morning snack, and there's often an ice cream in the afternoon. You can have drinks in the Salome bar until about 10pm, and there's also the big Anthelia bar and events hall. Oscar was our favourite up there! Top tips - find out the buffet themes and book the a la carte restaurant for the days you're less fussed about. You can do this in advance or with your butler when you get there. You can go to the lunch buffet from your table at the Salome lunch place (Lagarta I think) and bring food back. You can also try Portofino for lunch. Try the hotel entertainment in Anthelia. The ones put on by the 'entertainment team' are of varying quality (though the acrobats are excellent) but the performers they bring in are brilliant. We weren't sure what Funky would be; ended up being the most amazing singers and dancers doing songs from Bob Marley to a brilliant Purple Rain (including guitar solo). The bar will make cocktails off menu if you ask - if they don't know them you can give them a recipe! They leave treats in your room every couple days (though you might be too full to eat them!) If you're a big group (we were six) you might struggle to always get sunbeds together if you're up later then 8am, although there are always some available. If you don't have sun before midday where you're sat, the sofas by the bar and by the cardio equipment will have some. Good spots to read the paper! Salome guests get free access to the spa, which has varying types of pools, a steam room and a sauna. They like you to book these days, which your butler can do for you - it's a good way to spend a cloudy hour.

Absolutely amazing hotel & what truly makes it is the staff. Every single person you interact with makes your day better! The service around the pool is impeccable, especially thanks to Vicky. The employees are so attentive and the cocktails are always delicious. Lots of choices for soft drinks also and nice iced lattes, kombucha etc. We also enjoyed the larger bar in the evening in the main hotel, Oscar is very good up there and in the disco. The food is incredible at all the restaurants including the buffet. My only comment would be sometimes at the buffet the vegetarian / vegan options aren’t as good as they could be. For example on Mexican night there wasn’t really anything vegetarian to eat in the themed section and it would be very easy to make some refried beans or vegan chilli. We have also enjoyed some of the evening entertainment in the disco, all of it is good but I have to comment on the Diamonds (they perform the night labelled on itinerary as “Legends”). We were completely blown away by them, they performed an incredible set and are all so unbelievably talented! It felt like a West End worthy show & particularly their performance of purple rain with the full guitar solo - wow!

Amazing hotel and staff with fab facilities and amazing food. You will not be disappointed staying here and for us this is the 2nd year running we have been here and we will be back. Having access to the larger hotel restaurants and facilities is great but nice to be in the small more intimate setting of the adult only part which is fab.
