A charming and peaceful islet in the frantically busy tourist area of Costa Adeje and Playa de Las Americas.

Its lots of sportive and leisure amenities, the sophisticated fitness room and the numerous pools will satisfy most of the people.

We liked the Jacaranda a lot. It may lack a couple of the facilities of the biggest and best hotels, but what it does do, it does very well indeed. OK, it's a little far from the beach, but the rooms are large and comfortable, the food is good, there's lots of space for everyone and the kids will have a whale of a time. The hotel's unique charm makes of the Jacaranda a hotel definitely worth considering for a great family holiday.
This intimate, luxurious hotel is one of the gems of the island. A property of superlatives, it is the ideal place to spend a romantic break or for an up market group getaway. Consisting uniquely of beautifully appointed villas, it also has an exceptional restaurant and fine spa. Although some way in land, the hotel's surroundings and the views it affords are priceless. This is definitely one of our favourite hotels?anywhere.
Not only is this one of the finest hotels on the entire island, but it also one of the most complete. It excels in every category from the spacious, well appointed rooms to the fine restaurants and from the gorgeous spa to the excellent kids programme.

For the perfect luxury family holiday you can't do better than La Plantación del Sur.

The Caleta is everything you'd expect of any Sheraton around the world: great service, large, well appointed rooms, a good choice of quality restaurants and fantastic facilities for both kids and adults.

With all the above plus features unique to the hotel, we recommend this hotel without hesitation to families, couple and groups of friends.
