Hovima Jardin Caleta

We absolutely loved our holiday in Tenerife. Staff in Hovima hotel were excellent, very friendly, helpful. Hotel was clean, pool area too. Food was ok. We liked the location, it was quite but close enough to nice beaches but a bit far from busy night life. There is a bus stop nearby and its very cheap to go to Las Americas or Adeje, easy to walk there too.

Arrived late in the evening and we had food and water waiting for us in the fridge. Our apartment was a superior one which was so spacious and absolutely immaculate. Cleaners in almost every day and I could fault nothing with cleanliness (I'm quite fussy and check mattresses etc and they looked brand new) we had a gorgeous big balcony with stunning sea views. The breakfast had a varied selection but to be honest we didn't always get up for it. The evening meals were really good. We went out a couple of nights and had planned to go out more but didn't as we enjoyed hotel food. There was always a good selection of starters and breads, hot food was always replenished even when we arrived at 8.30pm. There was a bbq one night too which was great. The pool area was so clean and had a pool bar. We had no problems getting a lounger no matter what time of the day. Entertainment at night was always good but wasn't really a lively hotel and bar was very quiet in the evening when the entertainment finished. Short walk to the right to la Caleta which was just beautiful with restaurants and nice cocktail places. We also got a bus to busier area of adeje and was only 3 euros for both of us. There is a beach basically across the road but we walked a bit further to a lovely sandy beach called El Duque. Overall it was a perfect and relaxing holiday as a couple and I would definitely return to this hotel. The staff were all very friendly Sebastian and Marc in particular and we always felt very welcome and looked after. Can't wait to go back.

Very good value for money. This was our second stay as we liked its quiet and convenient location. The staff are lovely and helpful and the room was very clean. Our balcony had a good view over the sea front. Nice pool too. Overall, good selection of dishes.

Firstly, the entire place was impeccably clean, rooms, bar, public areas. A credit to the staff. Standard rooms again VERY clean but in desperate need of refurnishing. Staff friendly no problems there. The surrounding area very quiet only a few bars within walking distance. The hotel bar was very reasonably priced. Please note the bar is cashless room number or credit card. The only ****** we had was the food. All well cooked and presented but choices limited. Felt like the kitchens were run to a very tight budget. Note to hotel management. PLEASE STOP using reformed bacon, it’s absolutely vile.

This hotel exceeded expectations. I went there on a family holiday and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant and food was very reasonable, there was evening entertainment every night in some form or another and the rooms were pretty spacious. The view from our room was stunning, overlooking the sea, and our room was also near to the pool. The pool was quite large and a nice area to be in. One nice touch was the hot tub on the roof in the adults-only zone which I visited daily. The hotel is also next to some small shops and very close to a couple of nice beaches. The only problem was perhaps the curtains in the lounge area let in a lot of light at night and there aren't lots of big shops nearby. Overall a very pleasant stay for 10 days.

La Caleta is an old fishing village very quiet with a selection of Lovely restaurants. The Hovima Jardin hotel was really nice for a low rated 3 star. Staff were lovely. Unfortunately the Entertainment Very Poor, FOOD was the main issue it was Absolutely "Dire". Selection & quality very poor. After complaining to the Receptionist, He was quite dismissive. We booked via Tui and find that their standards have really dropped, there was No Rep. or any Contact to liaise with. A lot of the guests chose to eat out, thankfully at the lovely Restaurants that La Caleta has on offer. The Hotel hosts Teams of Athletes from various countries as there is a Training Complex 1/2 a mile away, not that this affected us, but it is something that needs to be borne in mind as it gets very busy on meal times. I do hope this Review Helps Carol T

Stayed here 9th to 16th, beautiful area but way too quiet for us, stayed in a standard apartment which was very basic, beds were too firm a couple of plug sockets were hanging off just very bland in general. Just a few restaurants around nearby so if you want some entertainment i.e bars and music you have to travel into adeje centre which is a 30 to 40 minute walk or 10 euro taxi. Hardly any entertainment in hotel nothing during the day and very poor acts at the night that started at 9 o'clock and some only lasted 30 to 45 minutes, only good night for us was the guitar player/singer on Wednesday. A lot of athletes stayed here using it as a base camp for the training centre which is about a mile away. Food was very basic same choices a lot of the time I think we counted pork as an option on 5 of the nights. Pros Near to sea Nice views Cons Apartment very basic/bland No entertainment nearby Food very basic Entertainment in hotel virtually none existent So to summarize if you want a really quiet holiday near the sea with nice views then stay here but if you want it a bit more lively stay somewhere closer to adeje centre.
