Robinson Esquinzo Playa - All Inclusive

A truly wonderful private resort. The team of staff were extremely helpful and very courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is superb with the beautiful beach accessible via a short 5 min walk. The grounds are stunning with beautifully kept flowers and trees. The views from our hotel room was simply gorgeous. The various pools are exceptionally with choice for all kinds of water activities. The food was of a very high quality and plenty of choice each day. The entertainment was great, although mainly in the German language. Everywhere in the resort is clean and possesses a unique charm. We will definitely come back again!!

The Robinson Club is nice, but unfortunately, the watersports offerings have deteriorated. The head of the base is unfriendly and lazy. Ultimately, his focus is on preserving his equipment and selling courses to the guests. He doesn’t let guests who know how to handle the equipment go out on the water as soon as there’s a bit of wind. For us, this was a dealbreaker. Even complaining to the club management didn’t help. So, the only option left is to look for a base outside the club. We went to the Rene Egli Windsurf Center—top service, super friendly staff. It feels like the people working at the Robinson Club’s watersports base are the ones nobody else would hire.

The rooms have been due for refurbishment for a long time. But you know that when you book this place. You spend most of your time outside, so the rooms are not that important. Still they should have been refurbished 10 years ago and they are decaying more and more. Not even mentioning the ants crawling around everywhere… We have been here 4 times in the last 6 years. And what always made it for us was the food, the kids entertainment and the sport activities which always have been top class. Unfortunately, with the new management this has all gone bad: - Food: what used to be sashimi as the dinner special is now pita bread with beetroot from the can. They are just saving everywhere be it food, drinks. It is all just cheap now - Kids entertainment: our youngest son, who is 4 years old, was left alone for 1.5 hours in the „Roby Club“ because personnel was unexperienced and did not communicate - Sports: the cycling bikes are 20+ years old. Spinning classes become very difficult despite good instructors because the hardware is beyond repair For us, despite having been here 4 times, we will never go again. Defintetly not worth the money. There is much more bang for your buck in other hotels in the canaries.

We arrived to the warmest of welcomes from Bill, a expat front of house meeter greeter whose knowledge + affection for this hotel-and the island he has chosen as his home is infectious , we also had our first encounter with the bubbly receptionist Alina who we made a point of visiting on a daily basis simply for the joy of it As mentioned in other reviews yes the rooms are a little tired -and literally scuffed round the edges but the amazing housekeeping team ensure they are spotless (along with the rest of the hotel) The hotel grounds are stunning , and with the Robinson app the many events during the day are easy check on and to book (most are included -spa treatments and some craft events are at a charge) There a good gym , 3 pools + 2 bars The buffet meal options are fab with a wide range of options available ....there are 6 dining rooms , one restricted to over 16's, and one a open terrace -which is bookable on the app (although we at on it twice without having to) and yes in the main rooms most of the tables are sharing which is a lovely way to get to know other guests and teamsters (the hotel is their home and they eat with the guests) The evening events are fun , live bands , theatre shows , and a disco ...many themed with dress code suggestions listed on the app well in advance which the majority of people join in with from a Hawaii night to 90's neon !! and there’s a fun daily afternoon quiz Now to the thing most commented on ...yes it's a german company , it's primarily German guests, and the 'teamster' staff are nearly all german students (the service staff are locals) ...but guess what ....most of them speak English...And are more than happy to get to practice ! but yes-for those Brits hoping to make use of the childrens club, they may feel socially isolated ...or hopefully end the holiday with a new language skill , this is something that should be discussed but overall visiting a Robinson is a wonderful opportunity to get to practice german and the location language Our only issues were that our room (F block 305) was above the main route through the hotel-was noisy throughout the night , and that on a couple of occasions some of the staff were obviously sulking which is obviously not part of their job description . This unfortunately included the receptionist on duty when we left who seemed to have forgotten front of house training that last impressions matter to see clients off with a smile and warm comment And with this in mind , this is our second ‘Robinson’ experience …we although may not return to this one,we will look into others in the chain

The venue is very spacious. They offer many great sports activities such as tennis, volleyball, table tennis etc. the facilities are in great shape! The food is good. I would recommend this place specially for families.

Perfect service! Felt like we were coming home! Beautiful view from the room. Great food choice for vegetarians and vegans also. The gym has everything an athlete needs. We watched two evening shows and both of them were great, just the right length and very entertaining.
