Pool

We stayed here as a couple from the 22nd June > 29th June on a B&B basis.  

We were met at the entrance of the lobby by a friendly member of staff who took our cases to our room. We received a welcome drink and some chocolates on arrival which was a very nice touch. 

The cleanliness and décor of the reception area and the hotel itself is outstanding. 
Our room was perfect, it’s cleaned every day and new towels are provided. The shower is excellent, probably the best I have come across, an ironing board and iron are also provided.
There is a water/ice station on each floor, we took our own bottles and used them every day.  
The breakfast is outstanding, so much choice and all freshly prepared, it’s very relaxed and never felt busy. 

There are plenty of sun beds around the pool so unless you want a specific area you don’t need to go down early to reserve. They give out free ice creams, drinks and snacks in the afternoon which is another nice touch and the afternoon entertainment around the pool was also very good!!
They operate cashless so you can either pay by card as you go or we just put it on a tab and paid at the end. 

The hotel is in a great location, just outside the front you have a few shops which we used to purchase drinks and snacks for around the pool during the day, at the back of the hotel you have a great selection of bars and restaurants. I can’t comment on the hotel entertainment as we went out every evening.    
 
Our best evening meals were the Seahorse for tapas and the Limoncello for steak.
We enjoyed watching the karaoke at the moonlight fun pub just at the rear of the hotel. 
All in all we had a great 7 nights stay here and would highly recommend this hotel.

Well done : )

Amazing hotel you will love it  - Excellent 😊

Check In:
We arrived just after midday to the hotel. We were greeted outside by a friendly staff member, who took our suitcases for us. Once inside, we were greeted by several other friendly staff members. We were asked to take a seat in the reception area, and offered a drink of our choice - our choice was Prosecco! This was then followed by chocolate truffles! 

A lady brought over two tablets, where we provided our information and checked in. As we were all inclusive, at this point, we were asked to choose whether we wanted to attend the first or second sitting for breakfast and the first or second sitting for dinner. We chose the later sittings for both. 

The reception area smells lovely! I think this must be an Iberostar scent as I’m sure it smelt the same as the Iberostar I’ve stayed at in Montego Bay. 

Room: 
We had booked 2 single occupancy rooms. We were given rooms next to each other on the Star Prestige level - 560 & 561. 

The rooms were lovely! Nice and light, with pleasant decor. 

The bathroom had a twin sink, along with separate cubicles for the toilet and shower. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and moisturiser were all included in large bottles attached to the wall - these were all really good quality and smelt really good too! 

I was lucky to have a double bed, which came with 6 pillows of varying firmness. Two blankets which were super soft (would have been lovely to take home)! A huge tv facing the bed, which had many English tv channels at hand. 

There were 2 robes and slippers in the large wardrobe, as well as an iron & ironing board. The safe was free to use.

We also had a mini bar in our room which was restocked daily. This included: 2 San Miguel’s, a mini bottle of Freixenet Prosecco, Coke, Coke Zero, Fanta Orange, Fanta Lemon, Minute Maid Orange Juice & milk. There was also a mini bottle of red wine. There was also a bottle opener, 4 glasses, a kettle, an ice bucket and a coffee machine. This had several coffee pods available, which were also restocked daily, along with English Breakfast tea & Green tea. 

There is an ice machine and water machine by the lifts on each floor, which is really handy. You also get a carafe for your room so you are able to keep iced water to hand. 

Our balcony overlooked a quiet road, with our neighbouring hotel in sight. You could also see the Iberostar pool and the harbour/sea from the balcony. 

Pool:
There are two swimming pools at the hotel. One is a rooftop pool, only available for the Star Prestige guests. The other is a large, saltwater pool on the -2 level (same level as the restaurant, gym and spa). 

There were plenty of sunbeds available each day. Although some people did reserve beds and not come back to them, the SOS/lifeguard team were more than happy to remove towels off any beds that they’d noticed hadn’t been occupied for a period of time. 

There were also plenty of parasols available for those seeking shade. 

There is currently work going on around the pool (end of June/start of July); however, this was really only background noise. It was no more inconvenient than the occasional loud guests around the pool! The staff around the pool brought round complimentary headphones with several music stations, and there was usually music playing around the pool - which seemed to suite a mixture of genres. 

The sun hits the swimming pool from around 9.30-10am until gone 7pm. There is plenty of sun all day as well, not many areas seemed to fall prisoner to shade! 

The swimming pool is lovely. Really big, and a quirky shape with little coves where you can sit. It was a really comfortable temperature too. Perfect for cooling off from the sun, but warm enough to stay in for a prolonged period of time. 

You are given a pool towel card at check in, which you swap down at the pool between 10am-6pm daily for your towels. They are really soft and actually a decent size to cover your sun lounger. 

Food:
The food here was superb. There was so much variety! 

Breakfast was catered for everyone. The scrambled eggs were some of the best I’ve had - really fresh & creamy! 

Plenty of meats & cheeses, full English options, a fresh omelette station, lots of yoghurts (including dairy free alternatives), cereals, fresh fruit, porridge, pastries and sweet breakfasts like pancakes & waffles. 

Lunch & dinner was exemplary. There were so many options! One of our favourite parts was the meat & fish that was cooked to order. On our first lunch, I had a perfectly cooked steak. And on two other occasions we both had tuna steaks with the most delicious garlic sauce! Pedro, who is often found on this station, is an absolute credit to the team - he cooks the steak & tuna to perfection, with a huge smile & time to chat to customers! 

Ice cream’s were brought round the pool around 3pm as well, which was a nice refreshing afternoon treat! 

Drinks:
This is one of the best all inclusive drinks packages I’ve ever experienced! There were SO many branded options included in the basic all inclusive package (no need to upgrade to Star Prestige in my opinion). 

The wine was fantastic. Usually I’m not a fan of all inclusive hotel wine, but there were so many different options. Our daily favourite was the Anares Rioja - both the rose and red were beautiful! The rose was nice and crisp, and the red was lovely & full bodied. Definitely found a new favourite there! 

The Pina Coladas and Strawberry Daiquiris were some of the best I’ve ever had! 

Entertainment:
The pool team who run the Aqua classes are fantastic! As someone who works in a gym, their enthusiasm was unmatched! They made their Aqua classes fun, and there was no pressure from them to get involved! Which is always great! 

We only caught the tail end of the Elton John evening entertainment but that sounded good from what he heard! We also heard the end of the Abba night, which again seemed good! As we were only there for 5 nights, we didn’t catch the full evening entertainment but if it’s as good as everything else at the hotel, I’m sure it will be great! 

Location:
Although we didn’t venture out of the hotel (we literally wanted a chilled few days in the sun - which is 100% what was delivered), it appears the hotel is in a great location. 

There is direct access to the beach, which did look quite busy at the weekend (we were perfectly happy by the pool). 

There are several shops nearby, as well as bars and restaurants.

Staff:
The staff are what really makes this hotel a fantastic place to visit! They all have smiles on their faces, nothing is too much for them to do for you and they all work really hard day after day. 

A special shout out and thank you to:
Pedro (who I’ve already mentioned) above.
Antonio was fantastic and even remembered our drinks order after our first visit! 
Daniela was always so friendly to all customers and great at keeping the wine topped up! 
Eduardo, Monica and Fran also really stood out for us. 
Cubas was brilliant too, always had a huge smile on his face and really looks after the customers well. 

All the staff were amazing but the above just really stood out for us both. 

Pros 
~ Probably the best all inclusive drinks and food package I’ve experienced. 
~ The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is really good, never had any issues with it at all. 
~ The staff are all amazing and really make the stay a pleasant experience. 
~ The hotel is incredibly clean! From the communal areas, to the swimming pool, to the rooms - the cleaning was impeccable! 

Cons 
~ Probably more of a customer issue than a hotel issue, but you can hear other guests in the corridor from your room. Which was only really inconveniencing when they returned at 2am and weren’t considerate to other guests. 
~ As a female staying alone in a room, the locking system was a bit strange. It had a privacy button which you clicked but there was no safety bolt or peep hole. But again, this was something so minor & wouldn’t stop me from returning. 

There is such a variety of customers who stay here too. I saw some reviews which said it was full of old people, but this really wasn’t the case when I stayed here! There were young couples, and older couples, groups of friends etc; this hotel genuinely caters for anyone! 

I would 100% return to this hotel! I honestly had such a great time!

Fantastic hotel, amazing staff - would 100% recommend!

Our first visit to Hotel Sabila and it didn’t disappoint. What a fantastic hotel. We went with friends who had been there previously and had constantly raved about it and now we know why. We booked half board Star Prestige. Free branded drinks available 10am to 7pm, spirits, wines, cava etc. Food was out of this world - we loved Chef Pedro!  Rooftop pool was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Hotel was extremely clean and smells divine! Staff are so lovely and friendly and a real asset to the hotel. We’d been told entertainment was average but was actually really good when we were there, ABBA, Tina Turner and Elton John tribute nights were really good. Hotel is in the centre of the resort so plenty to do if you  venture out. An incredible hotel and would return in a heartbeat.

Excellent hotel

1st time at the hotel, and it won't be the last, Everything was excellent from the beds to the pool, and drinks, cleanliness of rooms getting cleaned and new towels every day, nothing is a problem for any of the staff, they are a credit to Iberostar, big thanks to Christa also for outstanding customer service..

Everything was great.

This modern hotel of 5* and adults only, nestled in the touristic centre of Torviscas in Costa Adeje, is very nicely situated within walking distance from the closest local beach. Puerto Colon marina can be reached after a nice stroll. Guests will also be able to find within the area a shopping centre with shops, restaurants and bars. The nearest airport is just 17 km from the hotel. This is a perfect hotel to spend a nice holiday by the sea.
