Can't fault the hotel, staff, food and amenities

Great four day break at the Iberostar Sabila, beautiful hotel, spotless throughout and very accommodating staff. Best pool bar food I've had, everything was fresh with many healthy food options available.

Just Wonderful...

Stayed for 10 days & we absolutely loved it.. From Check In from the time we was leaving the experience was wonderful. Rooms lovely & cleaned to a good standard. Thanks to our nice maid who occasionally did swans with our blankets on our bed & definitely made me smile. We only stayed B&B & breakfast had plenty of choice & lovely fresh Orange Juice. Pool area gets busy but we always managed to find a bed but still alot of people leaving towels on beds for hours.. Staff very helpful & always have a smile. Thanks for a wonderful stay we will definitely return & can't wait.

Highly recommend

We booked for 14 nights with our 4 adult daughters. We decided on the Star Prestige area so they could get drinks / snacks during the day. Firstly, the hotel is spotlessly clean. It smelt like a spa when we arrived. Chocolates on the bed most nights with some decorative formation of the blankets, such as swans. My daughter’s pool towels were made into a boat one evening. The girls took the towels to the beach/water park without any issue. The towels are in a nice beach bag as well so I didn’t use my own the whole time. Every member of staff smiles and says Ola whenever you pass which makes you feel very welcome. There were some small issues along the way but these were dealt with swiftly and with a smile. The rooms are not the biggest but have everything you need, including fridge and USB points. Beds and pillows are comfortable and there are blackout curtains. Showers have very good pressure. There are cold filtered water machines everywhere so useful to bring your water bottle. There are also ice machines. The hotel obviously has an excellent sustainability policy. We were in the Prestige area and had no problems whatsoever with sun beds. The large pool looked plentiful too. There are a few cabanas which were often available. There is a pool activity programme for most days, sometimes in the smaller Prestige pool (photo) but mostly I think in the large pool. There is a nice jacuzzi. Pool toilets were always spotless and dry. The ‘snacks’ were kept freshly stocked: fruit/yoghurt always, breakfast pastries and cereal, lunch cheese/ham sandwiches, vegetarian sandwiches and usually fish wrap, salad and either pasta/cous cous or rice. Late afternoon pastries. The food was so good we ate lunch here most days unless we were on a trip. Branded spirits, Prosecco, wine, beers, coffee, tea, soft drinks. Excellent value in our view. I usually took the fish from the wraps and added to salad! The pool staff were constantly taking empty glasses and plates and wiping tables. So impressive. The Prestige area has their own Concierge / reception manager (Zulayma ) and she is wonderful! She particularly went above and beyond to track my daughter’s case which didn’t arrive for 2 days and always found out whatever you needed to know. Breakfast was an excellent array which catered for all. There were around 6 varieties of milk! Egg chef and omelette chefs were kept very busy. Again the area was spotless. Prestige customers have a separate area with drinks, toaster and pastry. Shout out to Ivan for always having a smile and a chat and managing breakfast brilliantly. We had the evening buffet once but didn’t feel this was such good value. We’ve been spoilt at the Grand Salome. We also ate at the Gourmet Market on arrival day. The food was good, especially if you have a group of 6 like we did, with a variety of tastes. We often sat on the bar terrace in the evenings where Nieves ensured everyone was served quickly and with a smile and a joke. She works so hard. Cocktails were excellent. We didn’t find the hotel to be full of older people as some reviews suggest but this is probably the time of year. There are a mixture of ages now. I think there was entertainment most nights but we didn’t actually watch it as we were either out or playing cards on the terrace. There is work going on opposite our rooms (not sea view) but we don’t sit on our balconies so didn’t bother us. I don’t think they started work before 9 and none of our 3 rooms felt affected. We’re leaving tomorrow and the hotel is noticeably quieter today so the hotel have kindly extended our check out time to 3pm, for which we are very grateful. The location is on the edge of Playa de las Americas so if you like a bit of noise you can walk. We walked the other direction to La Caleta. There are plenty of excellent restaurants locally as well as nice cocktail bars, karaoke and live music. The beach is black sand (hot). Don’t wear you best flip flops as mine were ruined and I only went to and from the pedalos. Lots of other water activities to do. We hired a car for 3 days and the hotel parked it and collected it as it was a big 8 seater and my husband wasn’t excited about getting in and out of the car park! Overall, an excellent hotel which we would highly recommend. I’ve probably missed more wonderful things but have tried to give a comprehensive overview. Thank you for a fab 2 weeks!
