Grand Muthu Golf Plaza Hotel & Spa

Perfect get away for a few days ! The hotel is definitely not a 5 star by UK standards however the food was lovely and the facilities were brilliant. We enjoyed a massage in the spa and a sunbathe by the pool. Rooms were spacious however dated but for the price I couldn’t complain. There was a cockroach in the bathroom and we spoke to reception who had a Maintinence worker at our room within 5 minutes who thoroughly took care of the bugs and even returned a few hours later to see if we’d had any more issues! Upon leaving our taxi to the airport didn’t show up so security called us a taxi and waited with us for it as he didn’t want us being outside by ourselves in the middle of the night as two young females. The care & service of the staff at the hotel was brilliant !!

We had a pleasant holiday overall. I think this place is great value for money, but avoid it if you are expecting a 5 star treatment. The rooms are spacious, although a bit dated. The cleaning service is fine although the blankets in the room had a bit of a strange smell. In general, the whole structure could use some modernization, it looks like it has been like this since the 80’s. One downside is the strict adherence to check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 12 PM, even with the all-inclusive package. On the day of arrival, we got there at 9 AM but had to wait until 3 PM to access the buffet. On the day of departure, our wristbands were cut at noon which us something I’ve never experienced in other all-inclusive resorts. The food was very good with great selection(and we’re Italian so believe us!!), and the all-inclusive offer was acceptable. The show cooking chef was so kind to us we really enjoyed the small talk!! However, it was disappointing that you can’t enjoy any meals on the day of arrival or departure especially considering the large amount of food that goes to waste. Regarding its location, the hotel is very close to the airport, so frequent flights pass overhead, it didn’t bother me personally. It’s also conveniently located near Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, both easy to reach by car. However, getting to the north side of the island takes over 40 minutes on the highway. There isn’t much to do in the immediate area around the hotel, so in the evening, it’s better to head to Los Cristianos. However, you can reach sandy beaches like playa tejitas or playa de las vistas within 10/20 min by car, just keep in mind that in some parts of the day (3PM and 6PM) the streets are congested.

We had what is called a "Day Pass " to enjoy the spa and lunch at the hotel. The spa was good, but we did expect better at a 5* hotel . More therapeutic jets around the pool, please. A couple of things we didn't like were the fact that the tiles are quite slippy and it looked like people had glasses of water from the free dispenser, I hope that they were plastic cups that are much safer around a swimming pool. The buffet was enjoyable, and we felt that there was a very good variety of food to choose from. We actually had a good laugh at some of the other diners, especially the man being fed by his partner because he was too busy with his phone and the woman who was filling her pool bag with extras for her time by the main swimming pool.
