Hotels Near Barranco del Jable O la Cañada Melián in La Oliva

For context, two adults and an 11 y.old child, All Inclusive, 10-17th Sept. I'm not one for hotel/resort type holidays so had my reservations before I came but I have to say, the experience was fantastic and it was great to see us all enjoy the food and facilities. We arrived about Midday so with rooms available from 3pm we were able to put the luggage in the room by reception and avail ourselves of the food (from 1pm) and drink until the room was ready. The 'front of house' staff were really welcoming, as was everybody connected with the hotel actually. I booked a first floor with pool view given the odd comments on cockroaches, the room was great, beds really comfortable and a good shower. No noise from neighbours and slept like a log! A vast selection of food choice available for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. We're not big on eating fish/shell fish but we did try one of those options each night. There's always a couple of 'grill' options available (where most people queue) along with salad bars, cheese/nuts section, veggie section plus the standard pizza/fries type stuff for the less adventurous. I've a sweet tooth so appreciated the Haribo/Marshmallows as an addition to the ice cream ;) Really, a tremendous array of options - I was surprised given some of the reviews. Drinks on tap from morning to night although sometimes the carbonated soda for Pepsi/Fanta etc was flat at some of the pumps - basically you get to know where you go until everything is back to norm. Handy to have the pool bar although we didn't exactly prop ourselves against it! Pool activities in the morning (e.g AquaGym) kept some people busy and other daytime activities kept coming. The 'ActivTeam' members did a sterling job each and every day in keeping the pool activities going, a big thanks for being so generous with your time and for taking time out to chat to my daughter :) I read some comments re. lack of sunbed availability - I really think this must have been June to August as there were plenty available. I also think you'll get to see longer queues in the food halls and bars at peak season too so for me, September was a perfect month to go. Evening mostly revolved around dinner (we chose 19.45-20.45 slot) and then either hanging around to see the entertainment or walking the short distance to Correlejo Old Town. The in-house entertainment was may be one area the hotel struggled with although I wasn't expecting much to be honest and the crowd participation was a bit of a struggle for most acts to get to grips with! :D I appreciated the more 'rock' type music one night but generally we went down to just see what was happening. Drinks - local brand alcohol until 11pm and we got this on the All Inclusive. We're not cocktail drinkers so can't comment on the quality etc.There's a price list for known brands (e.g Smirnoff/Captain Morgan/Bombay Sapphire). The only aspect that was a little frustrating was the constant queue at the evening entertainment bar.

We stayed in H10 Ocean Suites for a week. We arrived after 2100 hrs and were told that the dining room would be set up again for us from 2230 as we had missed the evening meal time. No complimentary drink was offered to us on arrival but we did see others during our stay being offered one on arrival. No coffee pods for machine. When we were getting our bags out of room on last day there was a welcome card and complimentary drink voucher and chocolates sitting ? Staff - were very pleasant at reception, in the dining room they were too quick to clear your plates to the extent that you had just put last mouthful in your mouth and they took plate away sometimes even with your food that you were eating still on it. You felt that they were hovering over you. Food - not the worst I’ve had but certainly not the best. Breakfast had a fairly good choice, evening meal was repetitive and we were only there a week. Cleanliness- Bedding was clean and towels were freshened whenever you wished. Toilet seat kept coming off at joint, toilet wasn’t the cleanest and shower cubicle had mould round it. The area where you could sit out on wasn’t brushed daily so any food or crumbs were left caused ants we did try to keep ourselves from dropping crumbs etc. We did see a couple of cockroaches. Pool area - Sun loungers are a bit worn and hit or miss if you got a comfy one, not enough umbrellas for the amount of people and most of them were hard to get up some broken and were held together with tape, pool area didn’t appear to be cleaned regularly as marks and dirt from day before still there. The place is certainly in need of quite a bit of TLC and I would not class it as a 4 star more like 3 . I would not stay here again and would have to consider if I would stay in a H10 again

My 17-year-old daughter and I stayed at the hotel in August 2024, our second year in a row here, and once again, it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, the staff friendly staff exceeded our expectations. The reception team was incredibly welcoming and efficient, making check-in a breeze—our bags were taken care of before we even got to our room, which was a fantastic touch. Throughout our stay, the restaurant and bar staff continued this level of service, always friendly and eager to assist. We opted for the all-inclusive package, and it was a great choice. The food selection was extensive and there was always plenty to enjoy. The freshly made pizzas were a highlight, especially for my daughter! We also dined one evening at the Zensation restaurant, where the quality of both food and service was top-notch. Our waiter, Javier, was exceptionally attentive, making our dining experience memorable. We treated ourselves to a couple of massages at the spa, which offered great value for money. The spa staff, Fotou and Fernanda were both professional and exceptionally good at their jobs. Nothing was a problem. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, making it a perfect addition to our stay. While we loved lounging by the pool, we noticed there weren't many parasols available, and they tended to get reserved very early in the morning. A few more parasols would definitely enhance the poolside experience. We stayed in the Zensation suite, which was really comfortable and the air conditioning was brilliant. The room cleaning service was good, and the cleaning staff were always friendly. The hotel’s location is ideal—just a short walk to the El Campanario Centre, which has a variety of cafes, shops, and a charming craft market on Thursdays and Sundays. It's also only about a 15 minute walk to Corralejo and close to the beach, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local area. While we didn’t participate in the hotel's evening entertainment this year, we found plenty to do in Corralejo, especially enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of the Music Square. Taxis were very affordable for getting back to the hotel after our evenings out, which was a plus. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Sceptical from reading others reviews but honestly a really good hotel, pool was small but never had a problem getting a sunbed at different times of the days, life guard on duty at all times, cheap vending machine was a life saver when we arrived really late at night, location is close to a supermarket, beautiful views from the rooftop terrace. The terrace can provide food and drinks Wednesday to Sunday all day , the music was amazing on the terrace and if you’re into parties, make sure you go on Saturday nights because wow. Locals in the area are lovely. The hotel is located 5-10 minute walk from the music square and other places to eat and drink. We had a small room so we made our space work, only downfall was the size of the shower, just enough room to stand let alone lather some soap on your legs wouldn’t say the decor was dated but could maybe do with some tweaking from maintenance (shower handle was a bit delicate & missing a door frame in bed room) but honestly would recommend staying here, it’s clean, staff are friendly. We couldn’t comment on the breakfast as we didn’t have any here. Drinks are reasonably priced at the roof top aswell if anyone is wondering. For the price we paid we couldn’t complain, thank you to all the staff❤️

Loved this hotel, very isolated but great for what we wanted, really handy for the airport less than 10€ in a cab, pleasant walk into Puerto Del Rosario, Melissa on reception was outstanding in everything, very helpful & knowledgeable. Room was fabulous overlooking the sea, marked down slightly because the restaurant didn’t open until 8pm and nothing available to eat before, plastic style mattress protectors on the bed made me sweat but they were only minor things.
