Iberostar Grand Salomé

I just wanted to pop a little review on here although I’m only on day 2 of my weeks holiday here. This hotel is definitely worthy of its 5 stars. The AI package is worth every penny. Food and drinks are excellent. Beautiful suites, the cleanliness and particularly the obliging, attentive staff. Each and every one of them are a credit to this hotel. NOTHING is too much trouble! Thank you…

After the dismal UK winter we wanted a week of warm weather and this hotel was perfect for us. Good restaurants, pleasant pool area, lovely room all contributed to our relaxing stay but best of all are the staff; we were greeted on arrival by the butler Claudia and she was a treasure throughout the week, everything from dealing with our luggage to sorting out dinner reservations, nothing was too much trouble. The same was true for the staff at breakfast and dinner, they are all so friendly and helpful. We definitely hope to return for another week.

The hotel is part of Anthelia which we last stayed in 15 yrs ago. The grand Salome is adults only and has been refurbished to a good standard. The staff are wonderful very friendly and helpful, and really can not complain about service. The main hotel is a bit dated, and main areas could do with refurbishment. Overall a good hotel.

We have been to Anthelia several times before but first time at Grand Salome. We have thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay here, it is so quiet and relaxing, always plenty of loungers around the pool, and the staff throughout the hotel are wonderful - so friendly and extremely attentive. Nothing too much trouble - thank you to the lovely pool attendant for looking for my lost sun tan lotion!!! The bar and breakfast staff are lovely, especially Jessica. The food also, is exceptional. Our room is close to the pool too which is very handy. A very relaxing stay all round! We would definitely come back.

From start to finish absolutely amazing ! Rooms beautiful, specious and clean. Little touches like bottles of champagne in room, tattinger champagne at breakfast. Quiet peaceful pool area. Will be returning. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

The hotel rooms are beautiful with a nice view of the ocean. Breakfast is served a la carte and tastes really good - especially the coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff is really helpful and considerate and gave us a lot of great suggestions for what to do on this amazing island.

I was here for the second time and I must admit this is my favourite hotel in Costa Adeje. The location of the hotel is very good. As a Grande Salome guest you have access to some special areas like a separate pool, rooms and breakfast area. The rooms, service and food are excellent. The only critical point is the gym equipment of the grande salome spa, which could be renewed.

Our second visit, and by and large my comments from last year are still valid. We arrived around 8:10pm at the Anthelia and had to wait, as there was no one from Salome available, the reception offered us drinks we opted for water, and they started the check in process, eventually a butler from Salome arrived and escorted us to the room. After a very very quick orientation of the room the butler left. Fortunately as we’d stayed last year we ventured to the buffet for something quick, it had been a long and tiring day, however, we obviously chose an unfortunate area as the waitress was most unfriendly, maybe because it was coming to the end of service, we only asked for 2 beers and some water, we got one beer between us, I did ask for the second beer, she tutted, walked away and never came back. We paid extra this year for a room in a priority location (a few hundred pounds), we were on a higher floor which was nice, but the view was probably worse than last year as instead of the palm tree trunk we now viewed all the foliage. I would never advocate cutting back the foliage, but I wouldn’t consider it a priority location either and definitely not worth the extra paid as the room was essentially the same as last year just with a slightly bigger balcony, I think over £6700 for 7 nights, even though all inclusive, it is pricey. The room was comfortable and clean, the amenities are ok, although I didn’t like the dispensers in the bathroom, they were inclined to fail, and the creamer supplied while ok for coffee is unpalatable in tea. The location is quiet, the pool was a bit cooler than last year but was ok, the ladies at Lagarto and around the pool are lovely and the service is excellent. We ate at the buffet for breakfast mostly as there was more choice, however, the breakfast at the Mirador was good and the staff very welcoming. We also ate lunch at the buffet as we didn’t want a big meal, the food was ok but not very hot and as less people eat there lunchtime there isn’t a constant turnover of food, hence the quality at lunchtime is not as good as the evening, although apart from that first evening, the staff were very friendly and we had good service. We ate at both Sea Soul and Portofino twice, we weren’t keen on the menu at Poseidon, speaking of menus and the drive for sustainability we could not access menus on smartphone or on the hotel website or the monitors around, there was a glitch, a butler printed them off so we could decide where and when we wanted to dine. Sea Soul like last year was our favourite, however, I do think the inside dining area used in inclement weather needs refurbishment to make it more a la carte and less cafe. The first time we ate at Portofino, the lady in charge was lovely, the service was good, it was calm and welcoming we were offered an aperitif, the courses arrived in a timely manner and we were offered coffee to finish. The second time there was a gentleman in charge, he did not acknowledge us once, he made

The restaurant Poseidon is exceptional. It should have 2 stars Michelin in my opinion. The manager Mossi was welcoming and really commanded the salon with skill. The location is stunning over looking the sunset sea. Can’t fault it. It’s set within the Anthelia Hotel iberostar grounds. Hundred percent recommend visiting this hotel and restaurant.
