H10 Playa Esmeralda - Adults Only

It was the other positive reviews that made me choose this place. Only went for a short relaxing break. Was not disappointed. I chose their Privilege package which gave free access to the 2 other restaurants, Italian and ala-carte, however I have to say I found the Buffet excellent, especially dealing with so many guests at one time. There is 'show' cooking for some item's and the choice changed each day so there was always something different to choose from. The Ala-carte restaurant for both breakfast and evening meal was lacking in choice (For me anyway) so only chode to eat there once for each occasion (Breakfast and Dinner)..never tried 'Stromboli's' pizza restaurant...can get good pizza's at home and not my favourite for an evening meal anyway. The Pool front Snack bar was excellent, great choice of food for lunch, pleasant atmosphere and spacious. I had a room overlooking the sea right down the front and possibly as far away from the main hotel as was possible, so if you have walking difficulties be aware of this as the hotel is on about 7 levels in all (I think judging by the lift numbers) Plenty of lifts on-route, but did find the layout a bit confusing on arrival and the map was not exactly clear. (Anyway, once established it was fine). The room was reasonably spacious, clean and well appointed, Well stocked (free) fridge with drinks, and a coffee machine. Personally, I prefer a separate shower rather than one over the bath, but this was adequate, with towelling robes and beach towels made available. Nice comfortable bed and balcony with seating overlooking the beach. Just a warning, though, I had noisy neighbours on my last night who sat out on the balcony late at night talking rather loud so had to shut the door.....the air-conditioning then took over, The bars, both pool front and in main hotel are excellent and there is a great view of the sea sitting outside on the decking, with both comfortable arm chairs and tables. Now the staff...excellent, friendly, helpful and professional. Its a nice touch to get a glass of sparkling wine on arrival whilst waiting to check in too. Be aware that the hotel is quite a walk from the centre of Costa Calma, and there is not a great deal to do there. It was first vit to Fuertevetura and my opinion of that part of the island is that it is a bit desolate, so maybe a car would be a choice if you are there for a while to see the island.

The hotel is lovely and clean and the staff are so nice! The pool wasn't too cold and I was able to do loads of swimming. There was a nice selection of food, not as much as other hotels I have stayed at but good quality and plentiful. I am vegetarian and found plenty to eat. The cocktails are amazing and lots of premium drinks are included in all inclusive. Plentiful sun loungers no fighting to find somewhere to chill out, also lovely to sit on the lounge front over looking the sea. Cant think of anything negative!

We returned from our fifth visit to the Esmeralda in two years a few days ago and yet again it did not disappoint. Hotel was as lovely as ever and all the staff were as friendly and hardworking as previous visits. It was great to see everyone again and also meet some new members of the team. All the staff are a credit to the hotel. We cannot fault this hotel and it suits us perfectly for our needs. We always stay in Privilege and look forward to sampling the new dinner menu which launched a few days after we left. The new Stromboli Italian restaurant is a nice addition to the hotel and well worth trying. Costa Calma is a low key resort not for party animals. Looking forward to returning late October.

Nice location

This was our fifth time to stay in this fabulous hotel. Standards remain high and the staff are superb

Our third stay now and we weren't disappointed . From arrival you get such a lovely friendly welcome from the staff, and that continued throughout the holiday with all staff being so cheerful. All of the hotel is well maintained, always so clean and tidy. Our room was as usual perfect and the ladies that clean the rooms are always checking in to stock us up if we need anything . Enjoyed meals at all the restaurants and the entertainment was great. Highly recommend the Esmeralda
