Hotel Hacienda de Abajo-Adults Only-Lujo

The buildings - interior and exterior - are beautiful. Every detail is painted in wonderful colours. You live in a botanical garden! There is birdsong, otherwise it is quiet. Everything makes you smile! Short walk to the beach, short walk to Tazacorte town. This is one of the best (two or three) hotels i have stayed in.

+1) Superb, opulent, slightly quirky decor and ambiance. All areas and rooms are overflowing with good quality very flamboyant antiques and works of art. An atmosphere of olde worlde luxury throughout. +2) Location is ideal - on the sunnier and less commercialised side of the island. Just a 5 minute drive down to the port, and a 5 minute stroll up into the town. +3) The grounds are beautifully and cleverly laid out as gorgeous, colourful sub-tropical gardens. Spotlessly clean, very well-maintained, and atmospherically lit at night. Many of the rooms look out over the gardens, and some have a small terrace area.+4) The top suite is more expensive, but absolutely worth the extra (see photos with red walls). It is really absolutely huge, with its own massive dining room, all luxuriously furnished and appointed fine antiques and paintings. Best of all, this is the only room with a sea view, and has a very large private balcony. +5) The pool area is attractive and well-maintained, surrounded by plants, flowers and trees. There are normally plenty of sunbeds in the shade, but for sun lovers see negative comments below.+6) Breakfasts are very good, including such friendly service. +7) All staff are really very good indeed, and so friendly - from the excellent manager, through all levels right down to housekeeping. They obviously take recruitment and training very seriously. English is spoken well by all customer-facing staff.

-1) Some of the lower spec rooms are a little dingy, with very poor outlook onto quite a close wall. I recommend checking this carefully before booking (see comments above about top suite and garden rooms).-2) For some obscure reason they now close their bar in the evenings. There is nowhere to relax with a drink after dinner. Guests now either have to walk up into town or go to bed early. Big mistake by management, and not what one expects from a luxury hotel.-3) The quality of service and efficiency of the restaurant does not match the very high standards of the hotel. Both the kitchen and front of house servers are badly inconsistent, and sometimes seriously chaotic.-4) Beautifully furnished, high quality rooms are slightly let down by a plastic shower curtain and no tea making facilities. -5) Most sunbeds round the pool are at least partly shaded. There are a few for sun lovers, but be warned this hotel caters for a predominantly German clientele and therefore their traditional (infamous) morning "towels on sunbeds" fiasco is often an issue! The hotel do not appear to discourage this.

The location was very good we did have breakfast because my girlfriend has family for the same area so we spent a lot of our time with them .

Nothing the Hotel was so lovely

Stunningly beautiful hotel - both internal decor and botanic garden. Our bedroom was also beautiful with excellent features. We would particularly like to thank the people at reception for allowing us to access our room early after we had been evacuated from where we had been staying because of the wild fire. The breakfast was also superb.

The well kept grounds and swimming pool were amazing. It felt like being in the Caribbean with the lush tropical gardens.The room was attractive and large.

We didn’t have the breakfast as everything you wanted had to be ordered the night before. In addition to that it appeared very overpriced.The tapas menu was good and varied but the restaurant menu has a limited choice and seemed expensive.I think the restaurant was trying to be more upmarket than it needed to be.

Fabulous rooms - antic splendors all around - cool pool and beautiful tropical garden

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Hotel Hacienda de Abajo and I have to say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, the level of service and attention to detail was truly exceptional. If you're looking for a peaceful and serene retreat away from the hustle of everyday life, then this is the perfect place for you.Upon arrival, I was greeted by the friendly and professional staff who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The check-in process was seamless and efficient, and I was delighted to find that my room was spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed. The hotel is situated in the quiet town of Tazacorte and surrounded by a beautiful botanical garden, which makes it the perfect place to unwind and relax. I enjoyed spending time on my balcony, listening to the birds chirping and feeling the gentle breeze.One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel's restaurant 'El sitio'. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. I enjoyed a variety of dishes, all of which were expertly prepared and presented. Overall, I cannot recommend the this hotel highly enough. The staff, facilities, and location were all outstanding, and I can't wait to return for another visit. If you're looking for a truly authentic and memorable hotel experience, this is the place to stay!

Quirky, different, small haven...lovely setting, pool and service...

Restaurant interesting but flawed, not worth the high cost, tapas down stairs a much better option but does not have the views and sunset...

Super helpful staff, excellent breakfasts, great ambiance, nice pool/jacuzzi/sauna

the pool area was very nice, our bathroom and balcony were both excellent.

the bar area was uninviting both inside and out, breakfast service was very hit and miss. It took us 25 minutes and 3 requests on our first morning to get a coffee.

Rooms and sauna are good. The food is awesome in the restaurant or the tapas bar

All good, a nespresso/coffe machine in the room would be nice.

Wonderful hotel with lots of character. Free spa area with great jacuzzi and outdoor swimming pool. Restaurant was great too.

Seems a little understaffed in the kitchen & restaurant, often long wait times.

it’s location, the rooms, gardens and staff

Beautiful unique hotel in an incredible traditional setting. Amazing pool. lovely soft bed linen. Staff and food were great

Exceptional friendly staff. Unique hotel experience. Extraordinarily high quality antiquity worthy of a museum in every room. Beautiful subtropical enclosed garden. Sadly spa facility were limited. Unique wine to this hotel.

Expensive supplementary water for the room.
