GF Isabel Family
The Hotel & Resort
Right in the heart of the popular resort of Costa Adeje, the GF Isabel offers affordable accommodation with families in mind. This hotel is a tardis! From the outside it looks like any normal hotel but as you enter reception you find a children’s play area, then, through the shopping and games room area you arrive into what looks like a traditional Cañarían Village. The GF Isabel is extremely popular with families travelling to Tenerife and it is normally a little cheaper than some other top family hotels on the Island.
Costa Adeje has been voted the number one holiday destination in Spain and it’s easy to see why. With beautiful, beaches, promenades, bars, shops and restaurants right on your doorstep Costa Adeje is the perfect place to stay. The white, sandy beach of Playa Del Duque is just 100 metres downhill. There’s a bus stop opposite the hotel offering free busses to places such as Siam Park, Aqualand and Jungle Park. There’s a shopping centre next door with a soft play centre and there are supermarkets, pharmacies and anything-else you might need within a stone throw from the hotel!
If you decide to hire a car during your stay, parking can be an issue. There isn’t any direct hotel parking. There are parking spots close by, but they aren’t 100 percent guaranteed.
Don’t forget… Check out our Hire Shop now. We have car seats, pushchairs, baby milk/water all of which that can be delivered right to your door.
The Rooms
You can choose between a standard apartment, a one bedroom bungalow or a two bed Villa that can sleep up to 6 people plus an infant! All rooms come with a kitchenette as well, which is perfect for families. Having the option of dining in or out when you have a baby can be a real-life saver. The rooms have large fridges, kettles, microwaves and a hob for cooking. Cots and highchairs can also be provided and all rooms have baths. Perfect for babies.
The Food
There is a large buffet restaurant serving excellent food options for all the family and you can choose from a variety of board basis from self-catering right up to All Inclusive as well. They have a children’s buffet area, highchairs and microwaves in the restaurant so you can heat up baby milk and food easily. You have snack bars, pool bars and a large entertainment area close to the buffet restaurant.
Kids Clubs & Entertainment
Within the hotel you will find play parks, mini golf and a mini club. There is even a multi sports court for kids. The mini club is available for children aged 3-12 years old. The mini club places must be booked in advance. We recommend you speak with the hotel about this when you check in so you don’t miss out. They arrange mini discos, games, water sports and more. There’s a soft play area, ball pit and climbing frame area supervised by the kid’s club team between 11am-5pm.
There is also an indoor play area for children up to 3 years old.
Worth noting…You must supervise your little ones if they are under 3 years old. They can enter the mini club and play areas but most always be supervised by a parent.
The hotel entertainment team are excellent and they work day and night arranging activities to keep the whole family happy. The hotel puts on a range of shows and live music performances every night.
The Pools
There is a large outdoor, freshwater swimming pool in the centre of the hotel. It is heated between November 1st and April 30th. The additional splash park which is located just to the side of the main pool is a big hit with little people with small slides and shallow water. It is perfect for toddlers.
