Bull Costa Canaria & Spa - Only Adults

Before I write my review, I have to take James S from Paphos to task. His January review is an insult to many of the holidaymakers and effectively mocks those who are less agile than him. At his age I was playing tennis three times a week, badminton twice a week and golf regularly. For various reasons, none of which are his business, through no fault of my own I now have severe mobility issues at the age of 75. However, my wife and I holiday as often as we can and, although envious of people like James, who are fit and healthy, we thoroughly enjoy life. This hotel is absolutely superb. It is spotlessly clean everywhere, the staff are without exception fantastic and the (free!!) spa is unbelievable. I wasn't over-impressed with the food at lunch and dinner, albeit there was a lot of choice, but I am not a fan of buffet meals. Nevertheless I was never hungry and the breakfast spread was amazing. I am not sure who ate the broccoli though! The pool bar is excellent and the food there at lunchtime is really good. We didn't expect entertainment so it came as a pleasant surprise. Some of it was excellent, some a little less so, but to have any entertainment at all was a bonus. And as stated above, Vanessa was very efficient and welcoming. The alternative entertainment at the pool bar was sometimes worth a visit. We will be going back to this hotel, probably more than once. And finally, to James S, I hope his words don't come back to haunt him. It would be awful if, in twelve years' time, other guests at a hotel he is staying in look down on him as some sort of inferior being if he ever becomes infirm.

My third visit to this hotel, first time with my adult daughter and then twice solo. On arrival I was allocated a room at the bottom of the gardens right away from the main hotel in a dark corner. The bathroom was very outdated with a plastic shower curtain and no bidet. I went back to reception and said I wasn't happy and as I was on my own I wouldn't like to walk down there at night. They quickly found me a lovely room on the first floor in the hotel and okay it was at the side so I had no view apart from extractor fans and a big tank but it didn't matter as I never sat on my balcony. I love the fact I can sit outside for breakfast in the sunshine with my bucks fizz! The food at breakfast is great. The pool bar for lunch is fantastic the gambas are amazing and the steak on the hot stone is fab, I also had the chicken bites . I noticed this year the staff were very attentive at the pool bar as the English sometimes used to have to wait a while! The evening meals aren't great , I wonder if a little less choice better cooked would be better. The sea was very rough this year so I only got to paddle, Both pools are nice and I braved the cold one a couple of times. I did the aqua gym most days which was fun. Tennis with Bella (not sure if spelt right ) was great and she remembered me from last year. I also did the stretching and Tai Chi. The spa was lovely as always I love the dead sea pool its so chilled. I did think the pool in the spa was a bit colder this year. The jacuzzi on the roof top was definitely colder which was a shame as I loved going up there at the end of the day to catch the last bit of sun. I did mention it to reception but it didn't get any warmer. All the staff this year have been amazing, it can be a little daunting going on your own but they were all very kind. Thank you

We been a number of times to this lovely hotel and often taken friends and family with us, who always been just as impressed. The resort is a quiet and pleasant place to visit with good bus connections to other parts of the island. The hotel, which is superb, is set in stunning grounds. Rooms are generously sized and well cleaned. The food and drinks are excellent. The staff are wonderful too. Overall, a very comfortable adults only hotel that is well suited, but not exclusively, to a more mature age range. The hotel has everything that you could want all in one place, including a lovely Spa. We particularly like the sunbed tag system where you reserve your sunbed for the duration of your holiday - we only wish that other hotels would do the same thing, as it saves a lot of bother or hassle!
