This is the second time at this hotel. If you are looking for a place to relax in relative comfort then this is a good venue. I'd recommend booking a room/paying the extra for a sea/pool view - it makes such a difference having such a lovely view of the pool, sea and La Gomera. Personally I'd only ever go... More

This was our third stay at the Playa la Arena Hotel. On the two previous occasion the hotel was Spring Hotels but changed in 2011 to Be Live Hotels management. The Hotel is superbly located. The premises are still very comfortable, but we noticed that the standard of service has dropped dramatically since the change over of management. It is... More

We have just spent a week in this large hotel, and had an excellent time. The hotel was very clean and obviously well looked after by a very large staff.

This being our 3rd visit to this hotel we were looking forward to our trip despite the ownership having been changed in 2011 from Spring Hoteles to BeLive. Sadly we were disappointed. Whilst the hotel itself is still stunningly beautiful with superb gardens and flower hung balconies and a lovely atrium complete with hanging plants and fountains, spotlessly clean and... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in November 2011 for two weeks and having travelled the world staying in 4 or 5star hotels we found little wrong with this hotel. Reading some of the bad reports on Trip Advisor I now find it hard to believe the persons stayed at the same hotel. Of course it is not... More
