Colon Guanahani, Adeje, Costa De Adeje, Tenerife
Date October 2007

We have just returned from a week's break. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We changed room as we were originally located overlooking a busy main road. After looking at several bedrooms found the ideal location - overlooking the pool on the 4th floor. Would suggest anyone booking this hotel to request an elevated room overlooking the pool. The food was "help yourself" at breakfast and dinner and there was a good choice for all appetites. As we stayed half board, we chose to change dinner for lunch - this was served at the poolside bar and had a varied selection. On our arrival, we were not told that IF we had dinner the first evening, lunch would not be included on departure day! The bedroom were cleaned daily and fresh bedlinen and towels were supplied. My only disappointment was the actual building, it badly needed painting, updating in some areas and essential repairs to marble floors. The "live" entertainment daily was not to my taste but would appeal to an "older" audience! A courtesy room was provided to have a shower on departure day. The Playa Del Dulce was only a short stroll away but walking into Costa Adeje was "interesting" as there was alot of "Blackpool type shops and restaurants"!!!! - this certainly added to the variety of the holiday!

I am very surprised no one has mentioned the traffic and the busy roads around this hotel. No where in the brochures or on the web site are they mentioned. We where told, sea view, pool view or garden view. Sea view if you stood on the roof, pool view if you where lucky. Garden - well yes, just at the side of the road!
Also money went missing from the room but the guy on reception was not interested in our coins as 2 handbags had gone missing from a room the previous day. Sorry to say I do not believe that a stranger walked off the street, some one must have had a key to get into our room on the third floor.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel last year and were so impressed by the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff thta we decided to stay again this year and take with us our grown up children, their partners and our 2 year old grandson. Once again we were not let down and the hotel exceeded our expectations. All the family loved the variety of the food and the restaurant staff were extremely helpfull bearing in mind we had a 2 year old toddler with us. We were made to feel that our party of seven were very special to them. Our rooms which we requested when we booked were spotless and the chamber maid service surpassed all the other hotels we have stayed in in the Costa Adeje area even the 4+ platinum hotels . We had no problem getting sunbeds together by the pools even though the hotel appeared to be quite full. All in all an excellent hotel, well run friendly and clean. We are going back again later this year and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

Have just come home from a week in the Colon Guanahani (pronounced HUAN-A-HANI) and I must say it was very enjoyable. I have to agree with most of the above comments e.g. more an older crowd, buffet breakfast very good, staff very helpful,etc. We only stayed on a B&B basis and cannot comment on dinner but the poolside snack bar was much superior to what you would expect in that location. Admittedly, the bar and night entertainment was not the most exciting but as we ate and drank out every night it was a nice place to come home to unwind with a nightcap. The hotel is owned by the same family who own the Hotel Jardin de Nivaria across the road so guests of the Guanahani can use all the 5 star facilties in that hotel. The location of the Guanahani is also a plus. It is the southern part of Adeje so it is central to other resorts on the coast. Highly recommend it.
