At the dinner buffet, you can even have your steak cooked in front of you.

The food selection at breakfast and dinner is outstanding, so much choice.

The staff are all very professional and also welcoming and the Breakfast is one of the best I've encountered in any Hotel with basically everything you can think of from freshly prepared smoothies and fruit juices to well made omelettes and crepes with everything in between.

In particular Leonora on entertainment, Nino on breakfast and Cosmino on dinner were brilliant.

Breakfast was amongst the best buffets we have experienced.

The staff in hotel are very friendly and polite.the breakfast is ok. Found the porridge to be very gloopy and the scrambled egg was always cold.

Positives: Location, Price point can be competitive, great breakfast mostly, wonderful staff mostly and some lovely rooms.

Fantastic stay - cosmin at breakfast time was amazing , so attentive to the family and my little one .

Everything 12/10
Entrance foyer, Spa, the bars, the restaurants..Delicious Breakfast Buffet.

I did give them a list of my intolerances so expected to be able to have choices, my choices were, unsealed bread , handled by the chef while he was cooking pancakes and eggs on the griddle,  bacon that was in close proximity to wheat items, zero separation for any foods I could eat ( bacon tomato mushrooms my only options) without separation.

I would say that the breakfasts and the evening meal options and the service 
we’re very good.

Breakfast was amazing and plenty of choice.

The rooms are amazing and the breakfast is top quality and a delight to look forward to.

Albert in the breakfast buffet prepared food for my mother, take-away to the hospital, every day.

Breakfast choices outstanding, all so fresh.

Breakfast was perfect, lots of choice, lots of fruit,.

Very poor indeed and leaves you wondering what they are trying to achieve?

However, I became worried when I saw a few poor reviews just before we came.

This was at the start of a prebooked TUI fortnight relaxation in the sun, and turned out to be a very poor start to that holiday that was saved by TUI when we were moved at our request to the GF Victoria.

What we couldn’t understand was there was nothing going on for our teenage son at all, and the entertainment was limited and when there was some, it was poor.

The balcony was a poor shape and you couldn’t even sit with your feet on the ground.

The Kids Club is also very poor with very limited activities.

The breakfast buffet had what we felt poor quality pork products; sausages, bacon, ham, and Serrano ham that was cut too thick and therefore virtually inedible.

Amenities in the room are poor and haphazard, it feels like a 3 star from inside.

And the San Sebastian plaza experience wasn't as good as expected, food average and table service poor.

For example I booked a facial in the Spa and asked the guest relations to check the booking as the receptionist had poor English.

The service is now poor in general & the staff (with some exceptions) are unco-operative to the point of being surly.

WiFi in the room was poor so I had to get an engineer to show me how to reboot it which I had to do once a day.

The fresh cold salad was poor and not much of it.

Sheets in the room are really poor to short for the mattress.

and all gredit to the poor poolside fitness chap who tried his best to get people involved in the various activities!

The breakfast buffet is plentiful and has the biggest selection of fresh fruit I’ve ever had at a hotel.

but as very plain eaters everything we needed and very tasty, both breakfast and dinner never hungry , pools well roof  top amazing lovely n warm ground floor too but preferred Upper pool,evening  entertainment  ok what we watched but like evening stroll,  would I go again you bet I will very enjoyable holiday staff all very hard working n very welcoming ,look forward to returning.

I’m not a big eater in the mornings, and also gluten intolerant so didn’t really dig into the breakfast buffet

The food is varied, well presented and delicious.

A special mention to Rosa, in the buffet restaurant who noticed we sat at the same table the first couple of nights & then set the table ready for us for the rest of our stay.

Very relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed the ability to dine outside for both breakfast and evening meals on the terrace.

Adults only and a 5 minute walk to the Comfortable room, polite, friendly and efficient staff (reception, room service and catering) and great buffet food.

Plentiful and varied breakfast and evening buffets, and situated within easy reach of the sea and restaurants.

Good selection of food at both breakfast and dinner.

We enjoyed breakfast and evening meal for the two weeks we were staying.

Friendly, helpful staff and lovely food for breakfast.

We like to eat breakfast & dinner early, soon after the restaurant opens always had a choice of tables in the Piazza.

At breakfast there is plenty of choice, both hot and cold dishes and is well served by very efficient and friendly staff.

Breakfasts were excellent, especially the egg lady!

Breakfast was pretty good with a large selection to choose from every day,

Plentiful breakfast- overall a lovely Hotel which we will certainly stay there again.

The breakfast is excellent and plenty of variety.

Thanks to Rosario and Jessica for our breakfast, Oscar at lunch, Patricia and Raphael on reception, feel like family!

The beds were also very poor quality foam mattresses and the bedding was poly cotton mix and not soft.

Evening entertainment generally good (apart from the poor Tina Turner tribute act last night) with vocalists, acrobats, flamenco dancers and a saxophonist.

A lot of the crockery was of poor standard and has had a few too many trips to the dish washer and was often chipped or crazed.

but it switched off a few times with poor tv reception.

Also sound insulation between rooms is poor.

Smallish room overlooking pool even having paid for a superior room…access to sun loungers poor with no control over use and with small pools.

Overall the hotel is tired and the food is poor

We were not able to enjoy the pool area as much this time due to the poor weather

The attendance for most shows were very poor which enforces the need for management to look at the way in which the acts are chosen or at least try and get some atmosphere going.

Also the standards of dress in the evenings in the restaurant were in contradiction to the notices asking people to look smart The entertainment is low key, some of the acts were poor compared to previous stays.

Minor quibbles:- lighting is a little dull and would benefit from the installation of brighter LED bulbs and the sound quality of the flat screen TV sets is poor.

ENTERTAINMENT-It is low key and not a lot of atmosphere in the bar area and some of the entertainment was poor especially the dance trio on the 26th December who were probably the worst and most basic act we have seen anywhere and one of the girls who we saw arrive looked as

Hotel still struggles (as with most of its peers) with poor quality entertainment Please release me & Green green grass of home just doesn’t do it for us.

b) the entertainment was quite poor in the evenings
Despite those 2 niggles, we would certainly go again.

Veggies don't look and don't taste good and choice is really poor.

The only gripe was with the entertainment which was poor .. just up the tempo please !

It seemed like cut backs had been made, also the entertainment I thought poor, again in comparison to other years, cutbacks? Again?

It was very low key on a night everyone seemed to go to bed early.

The entertainment in the evening was too low key for us so we went out every night and came back for a last drink around 11.30 each night.

Night time entertainment was pretty low key.

The evening entertainment was limited and low key,

Drinks can be charged to your keycard which we found to be very handy and we didn’t find any surprise charges like others have said.

One point we noticed as the hotel runs a card charge system, I would advice ask for a receipt when you swipe your card & ALWAYS check them off at the time of paying your bill ( we had extras added to our bill that we didn’t order) strangely  we were always given a bill except in the bar, we had to ask for one.

The entertainment is geared to an older age group and is very low key.

There was quite a bit of entertainment laid on which was low key

Your key card is used to purchase drinks yet you do not get a receipt for every purchase.

Evening you buy at the hotel is added on to your room key so you pay your bill at the end of your holiday.

Everything works exactly as it should, from the A/C, to the Room cards which you swipe when paying for drinks etc, to the allocation of sun beds (if you leave your towel on one and disappear for a few hours it will be removed - no hogging sun beds here).

but plenty of lovely fresh rolls, cheeses, & desserts and only other downside maybe could have some more upbeat entertainment as was very low key and more for the older clientele even though we are in our early 50s all in all a lovely hotel we have already booked again for next year through easyJet holidays on a bed and breakfast basis because there are so many lovely restaurants all around.

Payment for drinks could be done through your room key card and the bill settled at the end of your stay.

We didn't use the lounge bar/evening entertainment as it all seemed a bit low key - the clientele may all be in bed by 9pm - yes it is a little like that with everything at a slow relaxed pace.

Evening entertainment was low key and usually piano player, sax or solo singer.

but to remove guests towels after about 20 mins when there were some 40 beds still available seemed somewhat excessive.

There was no sign whatsoever of a Hotel Guest Manager and had to rely on reception to handle most day to day issues.

No sooner had the staff remove the covers from the beds, than residents started to put their towels out in their favorite spot.Why do people feel the need to do this when there are so many sun beds around , not only on the ground floor pool ,

If you want to play ball games in the pool then DONT come here .. if you like reserving sun beds then disappearing for most of the day then DONT come here .. if you just want to get away and completely relax then COME here .. big shout out to Nacho the Lifeguard .. who religiously removed towels that had been put on beds where people decided to 'go for a walk' a genuinely nice guy and was a pleasure to converse with him .. also the housekeepers ..

Reserving sun beds generally not allowed and towels do get removed.

but when the life guard arrived at 10 he removed them.

Sun-beds always plentiful, and any left unattended, other than to go for a quick lunch, had towels and personal items removed by the pool attendant, excellent!

Loads of sunloungers around pool , they do not like you putting towels on to save as on one occasion we did this our towels were removed by staff, not a bad problem

Saving beds was discouraged with warnings that towels would be removed, so we never found ourselves without a bed.

Never busy & alway plenty of sun beds (while we were there)
Guests did leave there towels on sun beds to hold them and staff never removed them.

The lifeguard did remove some towels off sunbeds if they were not being used after a reasonable length of time.

The hotel has notices up saying that towels will be removed from sunbeds which aren't occupied.

One thing that really pleased us is that towels are removed from sun beds if not used for a certain period.

although the pool lifeguard did remove random towels if unoccupied in the morning.

but they remove towels when the lifeguard arrives if people are not on their sunbeds.

With regards to the sunbeds, the first week guests belongings were very swiftly removed if guests were not sat on them,

There’s signs everywhere saying they remove towels etc if left unattended

Food and service first class I return at Xmas.I hope for non smokers.

Squid, sweat corn, green beans, spring rolls to name a few of the odd things we were offered for breakfast.

but not least, since we were there last, the hotel was now a none smoking hotel, So sitting on the restaurant terrasse enjoying our food or sun bathing at the pool was now a smoke free bliss.

A couple of points of feedback, whilst the hotel is mainly no smoking they bizarrely still allow it on the balconies/terrace unfortunately for us we seemed to be surrounded by chain smoking guests which was not so pleasant, it  slightly spoilt the enjoyment of the room sadly.

I put beachtowels over the balcony railings to stop the smoke coming up

Food, staff, accomodation are all 1st rate, the only badpoint was the cleanliness around the rooftop pool, at no time did we see the pool cleaned and gritty debris could be seen on the pool base, not bad

Now, I recall paying TUI about an extra £200 for a sea view room in Sorento Italy only to find that whilst on the balcony, at arms length, I could easily cover up “the Sea View” with my cigarette packet!

We were in room 229A, there was a disgusting smell of mothballs in this room to the extent that we have had to wash unworn clothing upon our return.

Only down side was room balcony was situated above dining room, every morning woken at 6am by smell of bacon cooking.

One thing we have noticed from our previous stay is that they obviously listen to guest feedback as have now created a non smoking area in their outside restaurant which is very welcome and maybe long overdue as there is nothing worse than having a lovely meal spoilt by someone blowing smoke all over you and perhaps should consider not allowing smoking on the balconies in this day and age?

The same was with the dining terrace until I complained: the day after the terrace was split into smoking and non smoking sections.

but the smoking at the dining tables spoilt it for us.Nothing worse than having a nice fresh salad only to have smoke wafting across your table horrible sorry.

On entering room (230 A) we were aware of a rather pungent smell, like moth balls.

A couple of areas maybe could be improved, the evening entertainment was a bit mixed even though we enjoyed the flamenco and we really don't like the fact they allow smoking on the balconies

Only wish people did not have the option to smoke cigarettes everywhere!

Please have a Smoking section in the breakfast area and around the pool, nothing worse than eating breakfast and someone is smoking at the next table, same around the pool.

My only gripe concerning outside eating and sun bathing is the smokers!

The food (breakfast , lunch and dinner options) at the hotel itself is amazing and the special dinners we had in El Mirador over Christmas were spectacular, with a special mention for the pastry chef and her desserts!

I recommend half board as buffets for breakfast and dinner are excellent with plenty of choice.

You are spoilt for choice at breakfast time too.

We ate breakfast in the dedicated restaurant with great a la carte service.

The breakfasts are excellent (so much choice) and we have dined at the Pergola for lunch and dinner and love that too.

but the buffet is more than you could wish for .I wish you all a good Christmas and a healthy new year and cannot wait to return in April.

Breakfast was wonderful, we were seated straightaway every day, great selection of food and a chef on each day to cook your eggs any which way!

The food was excellent and we were greeted by Tiziana or one of her colleagues every morning when we arrived for the superb breakfast.

Buffet was so good that we didn't use the other 2 restaurants.

Regarding the hotel, breakfast was as delicious as ever and we ate there 3 evenings with delicious food on offer.

The breakfasts are fantastic, so much choice and excellent quality.

Great you can choose at diner for only buffet or buffet and main course.

We were well treated and the food was delicious.

Whether it be breakfast or the evening meal service was superb and delivered in such a friendly, light hearted, yet professional manner.

We eat in the restaurant, the food is excellent, you can order from the menu or chose the buffet.

Staff all friendly & efficient, entertainment is great, breakfast wonderful & facilities being updated & improved constantly.

We were half board and always found the main buffet restaurant had a wonderful selection every night.

& the cake and champagne was excellent. The surprise at breakfast was wonderful, (thank you Fabiola you are a little gem!)

although some reviews have said it had a lot of fish dishes we didn’t bank on the meat options being such a poor offering.

The sinks drained very slowly, indicative of poor maintenance.

The service was poor in many respects, and we are astonished that this quality of hotel accepts such a shoddy service.

But this was very poor, weak and not much flavour.

but no communication was shared - very poor.

The a la carte food for the price is very poor, a medium cooked chateaubriand that was grey in the middle, the service was awful, 3 hours for a 2 course meal.

but mainly open air so not good in poor evening weather, and the buffet restaurant.

Our experience was that it was poor and not a patch on the quality of the main restaurant.

Service in the a la carte dining restaurant was poor and the food was not good.

but the attention to detail was at times poor as some days towels were not available, there is no phone for emergencies and no water coolers or water bottles on site.

but for us it has been completely ruined by the noisy building works and poor weather.

What was disappointing about our stay was the poor service and attention to detail.

The service around the pool was poor too.

Door handles hanging off, a dingy shower which was tiny, rust on towel rails, poor lighting and so on.

Almost all the bartends, with the exception of 1-2, were very poor.

A couple of minor niggles - the wi fi is poor in the rooms okay in reception(

Other 5 star hotels we've stayed at are often let down by high staff turnover from all over Europe that only stay for a season or less, with poor motivation.

Food was poor and service lacking- as we were all inc - it wasn't much to concern us

The food in the restaurant was superb, and the breakfast and dinner had a huge selection of high-quality, tasty dishes.

The breakfast offering is one of the best, beautifully presented with a nice selection of everything you could wish for.

We were bed and breakfast and with the Star Prestige you got all your branded drinks and snacks so suited us great.

The dining room is buffet style and oh boy was there a large selection of food for both breakfast and dinner.

The breakfast buffet was out of this world, had a beautiful fresh omelette, great coffee.

And the breakfast … OH MY GOOOOOOOD …..

Breakfast is exceptional, activity and evening entertainment super .

The breakfast buffet was delicious with a huge variety of options.

The food is out of this world, the steak is to die for and the English back bacon is so tasty.

We stayed B&B and can honestly say the breakfast options and quality was perfect.

We went bed and breakfast, a good choice with so many good local restaurants and will be back.

Breakfast buffet was outstanding and the room so comfortable.

Hereby i want to give a big compliment to the staff and the complete , animation, team

Last year i was in hotel Gran Tinerfe and in the beginning i was not sure that i took the right decesion to go to Sabilla

But after a fantastic check in by Miquel,Aldair,Raul  and Gennarp and later one the perfect service of Caroline and the complete team of housekeepers, breakfast support and super animation team i am convinced, very happy and thankful and book again by Sabila for november 2024!

The quality and provenance of the ingredients are also excellent.

We felt this was an under-used area that could have offered a fine dining experience to change from the routine of the main buffet restaurant.

Breakfast amazing as ever and the whole ambience of the hotel is so relaxing.

They have a great selection of drinks and food, beautifully presented and delicious.

The food is excellent- the buffet for all inclusive is amazing with lots of fresh fish/meats etc cooked as you wait.

We'll pick something further away from Las Americas next time too, it is quite noisy from all the neighbouring hotels here if you have your door open at night, either side the hotels are "family friendly" so have late night entertainment.

Our shower didn’t work properly and the shower door didn’t close properly either.

Our room door developed a problem with the closing mechanism and once we reported it to reception a locksmith was dispatched to our room within 20 minutes to fix the problem and again a very professional and friendly gentleman carried out the work.

but the balcony doors were not double glazing.

The entertainment was also poor and we often spent our evenings on the terrace bar listening to the entertainment of the hotel next door.

but wouldn’t expect in a 5* - balcony door didn’t close properly, mini fridge was not cold, wardrobe door constantly got stuck, shower cubicle leaked), and the hotel foyer/restaurant/communal areas did not seem to have AC (meant it was cooler to sit outside than in!).

but the manager needs to take notice of feedback regarding lifts, they are problematic and one evening the doors closed on me giving me a nasty bruise on my arm and I know I'm not the first, so although he states he uses feedback to improve, it's obviously not happening and someone will get hurt one day.

Unfortunately, no,  the poor air con let it down for us massively and the hotel next door regarding the music

No locks on the bedroom door was concerning.

but should be addressed as it’s a 5 star hotel, the lifts didn’t always work, our card for door didn’t always work and on last day we couldn’t get into our room, balcony wasn’t cleaned the whole time we were there.

The doors constantly get slammed very early by other guests in the morning as people rushing down at silly hours to reserve sunbeds .

but I can't say this caused any problems when the balcony door was closed.

The only con to the room we never managed to sleep past 9am due to the cleaners and mini bar services coming to the door, some days this was even with DND sign on.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when we were heading downstairs for breakfast and people had formed a queue in the Star Prestige refreshment area so that they could get to the sun beds as soon as the door to the terrace was unlocked…..it’s a real shame that the hotel doesn’t ‘police’ the reserving of sun beds better, as you’ll never remove selfish people from resorts!

The door to my room jammed on the first night and I wasn’t able to get in

We had read a review that said next doors hotel entertainment was a bit noisy.

But it does finish by 11pm. Then on the sea view side the fun pub across the way, which gets pretty busy, with live entertainment and karaoke which can go on until late, then it’s just the neighbouring music and shouting noise…………etc, late night or early morning door slamming and chair dragging (why do people do that??)

If you want an immediate poolside bed in the rooftop star prestige area, then people will queue from at least 8.30am until the doors open at 9am.

There are one or two areas where things are beginning to look a bit tatty, for example pretty much every door frame is bashed and dented from the room cleaners trolleys, and it really detracts from what is quite a modern interior.
