Gran Melia Palacio de Isora

I have just returned from a 5 night winter break here. I have travelled extensively but this hotel is up there with some of the best i have stayed in, certainly in Europe. The staff were all extremely polite friendly and professional. The pools and grounds were beautiful, but the town outside tge horel was very limited. We decided to upgrade to all inclusive on arrival which i would recommend due to the local town being limited for dining options. The dining on offer at the hotel was absolutely great and i couldnt fault it at all. The roon was spacious and clean but a little tired looking. I would have expected more minibqr items to be included with AI. The hitel is expensive but tge quality was spot on. We had the most relaxing lovely holiday

The food was very average at best - except the nachos which were good! even the non buffet restaurants were average rather than amazing. Food was very bland. Staff were ok some lovely but most just doing their job. Often a wait to be seated Sustainability was not really featured as a priority which I would expect of any 4 star hotel in 2025. On the last night we found 2 huge cockroaches in our room- the response was to blame the near by banana plantation! We got a second room to sleep in but we had to suggest that… No compensation was offered. The music was awful The sun loungers were old and super basic with no lower angle as an option so seated or flat. The service around the adult pool was patchy On the up side it is aesthetically beautiful the spa was nice, and the weather was beautiful.

A return trip to a beautiful hotel, food is amazing and location for me to enjoy the peace and lovely scenic walks is great! I enjoyed the varied sports programme with excellent Pilates and yoga sessions daily ! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming making it a very enjoyable week in the sun for me

Amazing hotel. Incredible pools and views. Would recommend. The heated family pool was very cold, but after guests raised their concerns it was eventually resolved. The staff did their best to support us and accommodate us. Can’t thank them enough for helping to make it special.

Stay clear - it all looks amazing from the outside and also the inside but the food in all restaurants is inedible - frozen / not fresh / awful awful food - my family didn’t eat all week we survived on crisps and chocolate bars and just about the breakfast was ok. Definitely not a 5 star hotel - if you have heard the saying champagne lifestyle lemonade pockets then this sums up the gran Melia.

I really liked this resort. We treated ourself to this 5 star hotel for our anniversary. They have an incredible pool, the biggest salty water pool in Europe and the Spa massage made me fly. The location itself is stunning and it's 30 seconds walk from the ocean. The staff has always been helpful and kind whenever we asked for something. Dream place and you feel like a king/queen. What could have improved: Big hiccup when we checked in. The reception OFFERED us a vip plan (red level) as a special thing for our anniversary, but the dream crushed when they presented me the price that was double what I already paid in my reservation. When I asked what was included with it, again lack of clarity in the explanation. I was in the end convinced to upgrade because it was deemed as sooo much better, but then when I realised that it was just a better room, jacuzzi, some kids free areas and more exclusive restaurants (that you have to pay separately) we knew it was not for us and we asked to downgrade (all this took 2h where we did not have a room yet). In that moment I wanted to give 1 star for that service. I give 4 stars overall as all the other staff members did their best to help us and make our stay a positive experience so 5 stars to them. Special mentions to Dieny and Mathias, super friendly and professional, who went over and beyond. Another inconvenience was that our room had a panel coming off above the bed that was full of dust behind. We changed room in the end.

Just had a great week at this hotel - beautiful hotel with a great view. Entertainment was spot on with something different every night, which really bought everyone together. The areas around the hotel has some lovely chilled areas with the most comfortable seating and incredible views. We paid for the all inclusive package, which isnt cheap - however so many rules and regulations around this made this painful and meant we needed to think about what we can and cant do (not what you want to be doing whilst on holiday). All inclusive stopped at 11pm, yet the Entertainment continued until 11.30, so almost ensuring you are paying for drinks at this point (including soft drinks and water!) Booking the al a cart restaurants was painful and needed to be done at 5pm every day on an app. Which required support from staff. Can only booked for 2 days ahead, so again causing a bit of inconvenience. When in the al a carte, the food was incredible, however to be told that we couldnt order particular items from the menu in the asian was a bit of a downer due to the volume of food we were ordering. (Even when we offered to pay for these items, not included on all inclusive). This was just some of the experiences when it came to the service around food & drink and i dont think you can market this as all inclusive, which is a real shame. If you are looking for a quiet chilled week in the sun, this is your place, however be aware of some of the above.

really nice and peaceful place

Very friendly staff. Pools are amazing. Breakfast was great

You need to be prepared to queue for meals which can be very frustrating. First time I have experienced this and could see this was especially frustrating for young families. Poolside snack restaurants you should expect to wait for 30 - 40 minutes. The standard of food was generally high although kid options were limited and often chips were cold. The al la carte restaurants (if they could be booked) the food was not as good as the buffet. There is no pool side service for drinks which meant a long walk to the one poolside bar (who refuse to provide trays). The hotel grounds were pleasant and there were plenty of available sun lounges around the adult pool. The gym although small had a good selection of equipment. The spa was nice. Location of the hotel not great - no local amenities and a taxi to the main resort costs around 40 EURs one way. Certainly not a five star experience but suspect its one of the better hotels on the island (from what I could see).

idk

A lovely resort but if you did want to eat in the non-buffet restaurants in the evening it is challenging to book! However there are some really lovely local restaurants serving delicious food in the town - just a short walk away. It is surprising that a 5 star resort doesn’t offer complimentary water for guests in the room. Or offer water fountains around the resort to ensure that guests stay hydrated. However the resort is lovely.

We loved this hotel, the pool is beautiful and just the prefect place to relax.

Amazing

Really first class. Wonderful and helpful staff with great facilities in a beautiful hotel. My only complaint is that I found it almost impossible to book the hotel restaurants. And some great local beaches nearby.

Brilliant place wish we had more time. Very clean and the surroundings are breath taking.

Our favourite hotel in Tenerife, this was our third time here. They have kept their standards high all the time. Excellent range of restaurants. Besutiful property and location.

An extremely well run large hotel with service minded staff and nice entertainment in the evenings.

Another lovely stay in Gran Melia. A welcome drink was offered on arrival which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travelling. We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast every morning in the beautiful plaza. We were made feel very welcome by all hotel staff. Every visit we enjoy the evening entertainment. Room has everthing you need and very comfortable bed. The only negative - please consider mattress toppers/pads for the sun loungers as they are not very comfortable!

Excellent hotel. Friendly staff and top facilities with large outdoor infinity pool. Excellent food and wide eating options as well.
