Domes Baobab Suites

"Fantastic family holiday for a week in Baobab. So was booked a pickup through the hotel and that was smooth. Upon arrival, Elena and Fabio took great care of us at reception. We had two rooms but the one for my parents was quite far from reception. Massive thanks to both Elena and Fabio who organised for a closer room the following day, so my elderly father would not have far to travel each day. We did not even have to ask, they clearly picked up on the need and began to make the changes so really appreciate it. The hotel is great, and the pool outside your room is fantastic for those with kids, shallow enough they can have hours of fun in a safe environment and if you want to head to the main pool, you can but we rarely did. My parents had the hot tub and that was also fantastic, just make sure you put the cover back on the right way to keep it warm the following day. I also want to thank Herrardo (I hope spelt correctly) and Dina, who also took great care of us the entire stay. One thing that stood out, given my elderly father, is that reception really kept an eye on him whenever he was passing through or asking for things. Thought that was a really great touch. Few other things to call out: The apartment is huge and that’s a great plus. Lots of space, can cater for yourselves should you need and we did that, making light snacks for lunch when the kids out of the pool. Dishwasher and washing machine too, so we kept things clean and minimised the load of washing to bring home. Breakfast was great, has all the necessary options. Staff attentive and also the same in the BB Bar upstairs above reception. Taxis easy to get from hotel where ever you need to go. Things are walkable but given the elderly parents it was easier to taxi most places. Pity as the walk would have been nice more often. Bear in mind it’s uphill. Very close to Del Duque shopping centre and the beach, again a great option. Check out Tapsitas in La Caleta for a great seafood dinner. Also had veggie options including a Veggie paella so caters for all. Overall, a really good holiday. We’ve stayed at Domes of Elounda and Domes of Algarve, all very different but the uniqueness of the pool on your balcony along with a huge apartment is a great option I’d recommend."

"We have read some of the recent reviews saying there are no local shops, how far it is to the main part of Adeje, that it's not a hotel etc which is the opinion of those reviewing. We will give our opinion and try to be informative for future visitors, again this is our opinion and others will think differently. We have not long returned from our 3rd stay at the Baobab Suites and each time we’ve stayed, we haven’t been disappointed and have two more bookings made. What we both love about Baobab Suites is from the second we arrive, we’re made to feel like we’re returning “home”. We’re greeted by either Dina or Loren who always have big smiles on their faces, and it feels like they’re genuinely happy to see you and it is always remembered if you’re a returning guest. Again, this is down to the amazing team that are at the Baobab Suites, Alain, Dina, Loren, Hugo, Frank, Siddi and many others who cannot do enough for you. The hotel was built as apartments, so this is what you will get - not a hotel room. The rooms are large, comfortable with a full kitchen and very large balconies which are cleaned daily to a good standard, towels changed daily and beds changed every 2-3 days. Car parking is free (in an underground secure car park) you just need to ask reception. If you want to walk into the main area of Adeje, its about 10 minutes downhill. You can get a taxi back up the hill for approx. 4 Euros. The hotel provides a free taxi to the beach, just ask! If you want shops, and have a hire car, there is a Hiperdino and a Mercadonna a few minutes drive away. Hiperdino you can walk to in 20 minutes. If you don't have a car, you can use taxis which are cheap again just ask reception and they'll help you. We like the location of the hotel, which is peaceful. There isn't any pool music or evening entertainment which we feel is a plus, not a negative. The included breakfast can either be a box delivered to your room, book this on the app or with reception the day before. Or you can go to the buffet breakfast which is fantastic and has plenty to offer everyone or you can book breakfast at the BB Lounge which is table service and well worth doing once or twice during your stay. The BB Lounge also offers light meals throughout the day and up until midnight which we enjoyed and feel are reasonably priced. Outside there is an independent steak house called Char and across the road is Kar Bon restaurant and sports club which are owned by the hotel. You can walk to Del Duque shops or the beach in less than 10 minutes, or use the free taxi. La Caleta is a 5 minute drive away or a quick taxi ride. We had a friends daughters 7th birthday while we were there and Dina very kindly directed us to a locals shopping centre so we could go to Toys R Us. I was craving cake and once again, Dina very kindly gave us 2 recommendations for “English Bakeries” close by. Dina's the best! We have a favourite suite and I know Dina/Loren/Alain and the rest of the team do their best to ensure we are allocated our favourite suite. We hope this gives you a little insight in the Baobab Suites and why we like it. We heard that Domes had taken over management of the Baobab Suites but, so far, nothing major appears to have changed and we hope this continues as the last thing we want is for the peace and tranquillity that we desperately need each time we stay, to be ruined with loud music or aerobics by the pool or rowdy live sports shown on a big screen. If we wanted that, we’d go to Hotel Suite Villa Maria! All in all, we love Baobab Suites for the convenience of having your own apartment with the added benefit of a daily maid service. Obviously we love Adeje and the weather but what really makes Baobab Suites 5* for us, are the people. Alain, Dina, Loren, Frank, Hugo Siddi – they all make you feel like you are the only guest they have spoken to that day when, in actual fact, they have probably already spoken to 50+ other people!! We can't wait to return!"

"Booked through Jet2, two bedroom suite, no pool. We were allocated a suite at least 10 minutes and two lifts away from the main reception which was a pain when coming and going. The hotel is located up in the hills and is a good walk into adeje, it's also all uphill back which is fine if you are able bodied. The welcome from reception was absolutely miserable, we were told we needed to give a £200 deposit which is returned after check out, we didn't know about this before hand, our room wasn't ready for check in until 3pm so we had to hang around for a few hours after arrival. The room was great, comfy beds, decent Aircon, well equipped kitchen with everything you would need for self catering, had a washing machine/drier and dishwasher. A good space with a lounge area and a good sized balcony with sunbeds and table and chairs. The cleaning was below standard, I'm over cautious due to a health condition and wipe down touch points and the wipes were absolutely disgusting, I don't think the room had a good clean for sometime. The floors were so grotty, I don't think they were mopped during our whole stay and I threw out our white socks as they were gross after walking around the room. A buffet breakfast was included in our stay and it was spot on, best we've had for a long time. We hired a car and there was plenty of parking space in the underground carpark. Overall, underwhelming for a 5* we weren't inclined to use the sport or pool facilities as the hotel just didn't have the wow factor and we went out everyday instead."
