Hotel stay with a big thumbs up
I stayed at the GF Victoria for a week with family. The hotel is situated close to the beach and is a short walk to restaurants, bars, & other amenities. The hotel is excellent. Modern in design, well laid out with 2 excellent family pool areas & is kept extremely clean. It also has a small water park & other sporting options such as paddle, table tennis, & a surfing pool to name a few. Every single member of staff was friendly and took the time to greet you in meeting. The pool side staff & sky bar staff were excellent and attentive. And the maid did a fantastic job cleaning our room. As we arrived we were welcomed by Nico. Very friendly and escorted us straight to reception. Our room wasn't quite ready but we were offered a room to get changed in so we could use the pools if we wished. The booking in was efficient but provided my only slight negative of our stay. Having stayed in many 5* establishments it is nice to be greeted with a welcome drink as part of the check-in procedure. Here however, there was a brief mention of the fact you could attend the bar and you would receive one. It felt as if they couldn't be bothered & that they'd of had a result if we didn't claim it. That said we did accept the gesture and had a nice cold drink after our journey. If only they provided it immediately upon arrival I wouldn't have had any negative at all. We stayed B&B. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Even English bacon & sausage on offer as well as local cuisine. Smoothies, fresh fruit, and array of juices, cereal, toasties, and an excellent egg station. There were always sunbeds available & towels available for use throughout the day. The rooms are on the small side but very comfortable. We had a room with 2 bathrooms which was brilliant so our 15 year old had her own time and space to get ready to go out of an evening. We ate out each night so cannot comment on any of the restaurants available within the hotel. We were however nicely surprised by the pool side food & drink value. It made a refreshing change that a family could eat & drink & not feel like they were being ripped off. Great value indeed. There is probably so much more to say about this hotel but I'd highly recommend you just go and find out for yourselves as its a brilliant hotel & experience in my opinion. But I will add the adults each get a free hour in the spa. Regardless of my slight negative I would give this hotel 10/10. I would have no hesitation in returning should I ever visit Costa Adeje again in the future. And a final sign off is the view from the sky bar. What a fantastic place to sit and unwind. Mountains to the rear & the ocean to the front. What more could you wish for......

Nice hotel, good for families
Decent hotel, nice big suite style rooms with separate lounge and an extra bathroom, which works well if you are sharing with your kids, or like to put all your kids in one room and don’t want to squash them.
Very large maze like layout which I didn’t mind. Breakfast was large and reasonably good with no queueing. Pool areas huge and while the upper pool tended to be busier we didn’t have an issue getting beds, but preferred the lower pool which is slightly quieter. There is a big mall right across the road with a couple of restaurants for lunch and a supermarket. Entertainment was typical eclectic Tenerife after dinner shows and we also went across the road to the hotel opposite to watch their entertainment and have drinks which was fun too. Didn’t eat dinner in hotel so can’t comment- always walked down the coast.
Two minor faults. Firstly turn down service actually happening was slightly hit and miss which seemed odd given we didn’t go out particularly late for dinner. Also they have a real standing water problem around their upper pool. Literally deep puddles from early in the morning which you actually would have to walk round if you were wearing shoes. This makes no sense to me, because firstly it’s just a bit grim and lowers the tone of it, and secondly it’s actually dangerous if someone was to slip over. They have a load of lifeguard/security types round the pool who were very happy to spend all day blowing whistles at kids taking their inflatables to the wrong pool but no resource to pay someone to sweep/squeegee the water into a drain a couple of times a day. I really don’t understand why they don’t sort this. Also no handrail on the steep stairs between pools, even with the steps often wet with kids going up and down. Such a bizarre safety miss even for the canaries- what’s it going to cost to sort these things out, literally nothing for a large resort hotel.
Anyway overall had a great time and would recommend.

Wonderful stay
Excellent hotel, perfectly located to nearby shops and beach. Hotel was immaculately clean and staff couldn’t do enough for you and were always approachable. Nice touch with the turn down service, delivering water and chocolates each evening and preparing the rooms for bedtime. Only piece of feedback would be to consider bottle refill station. The price of water in the hotel is quite expensive. There is a supermarket opposite in the downstairs of the shopping mall which sells 1.5litre bottles for less a euro.
Overall a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel to families and couples. Thank you GF Victoria, we will return in the future!

A wonderful week
A well run, exceptionally clean and all round excellent family hotel. Our kids (ages 5 and 4) loved the kids club and had to be dragged away most days! Lucia and all the girls there do a fantastic job. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice. The pools never seem too crowded, despite it being high season. The room (senior suite) is lovely but could do with more storage (a small issue). In terms of location, it’s close to lots of nice restaurants. We mostly ate outside of the hotel for dinner.

Amazing, but used to be better...
This is our 4th year at the hotel and in the main it is fantastic. The rooms are incredible. The facilities are great and the staff are all lovely albeit you don't make the relationships with them that you do in other places. However, that is due to the size and scale of the hotel.
So what has prevented me from rating it 5*. Well firstly, the entertainment is a bit rubbish. It's not on for long and it's never the best. This is a minor inconvenience as some people won't even bother with it, but I've had better at worse hotels.
Secondly though, and most importantly, there used to be a very stringent policy on not reserving sunbeds. This was a major reason for us rebooking. I am not one for sunbed wars. And those of you who will go down to the pool at 6am to reserve a spot have a special place in my hell. For the first couple of years, you could see staff going round, collecting towels (all provided by the hotel) off unused sunbeds. Meaning there was never a shortage. However the last couple of years, this is no longer done and it can be a nightmare to get a sunbed at any of the pools if you're not there early. Considering signage around the pool still states there is no reserving of sunbeds, it's frustrating that this is no longer enforced.
Other than this, there are some signs of age, particularly around the "slides pool' but that didn't negatively affect my experience.
