Hotel Ramada di Costa Adeje

This is my 2nd time at Ramada Costa Adeje this year, having previously stayed in June. I arrived and was checked in by a lovely friendly lady who recognised me from previous visits, and was given the key to my room. I was allocated a room in Block D on the 3rd floor (One bedroom, ocean view) and upon entering I could tell I was treated to a beautiful and well equipped room indeed. The kitchen area was large, clean, spacious and had a fridge freezer, a dishwasher (well pleased!), oven, microwave and all the pots, pans, plates, bowls and lots more that I could ever need. In the living area was the usual comfy sofa, chair and it does appear that a brand new TV has been placed in to this room which is a massive upgrade from previous rooms I've been in. The bedroom was a good size and I forgot just how comfortable the beds here are. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space for all my things. I do think it's time to upgrade the bed-side drawers and dressing area cabinets, but they served their purpose well. In the bathroom there was a washing machine (thank you very much!) as well as a very large bath/shower, all very clean. Of course the best part is the balcony. The perfect size and kitted out with table & chairs, two sunbeds and a brolly. The view of the pool, ocean and mountains, especially at sunset, is just unbeatable. Over in the main pool area are two restaurants, Zacary's and Paradise Pool Bar. I didn't use Zacary's this time round, but yet again a big thank you to the amazing ladies at Paradise Pool Bar for their hospitality. Getting sunbeds on this occasion was fine however I noticed a huge difference in terms of sunbed reserving, with some very eager guests placing towels on before 7am which did make me chuckle... The main pool area consists of the large pool, children's pool and a jacuzzi, all very clean. What was even better on this particular visit is that the miserable soul destroying lifeguard (regular visitors and the hotel management will know exactly who I'm on about!) was off for the entire duration of my stay, so the vibes at the main pool were amazing all week! Ramada management take note of that! Bus route 424 stops out on the main road and runs around every hour to El Duque or Los Cristianos via Siam Park/Mall & Las Americas. If you can't bare the thought of all the hills/terrain then the lovely receptionists can book taxi's for you. Local shops are close by. All in all it has been a wonderful holiday. One more full day to go and then back to reality, but a massive thank you to all the staff on-resort who all do a fantastic job. I look forward to coming back again next year.
