El Silencio Coast, Canary Islands hotel rooms at the Independent

"Good Location for water-sports and trip pick-ups."

"Amazing! All staff were friendly and professional And the service was top notch. Beautiful room and the whole resort was very clean. A choice of several restaurants , all fabulous. "

"Clean and spacious accommodation, friendly staff, reasonably priced supermarket on site and plenty of dining options within a 5 minute walk. Particularly appreciated the filter tap in the kitchen so we didn't have to buy bottled water. Used the spa service for a massage and natural manicure, reasonable prices, enjoyed the pamper. Visited the hotel restaurant once, it is modern with pleasant sea views; reasonably priced though it is predominantly used by the older clientele; we preferred eating out but it's nice to have the option. Pool bar offered drinks and snacks, we didn't eat there but wasn't over priced for drinks and servers were quick and friendly. There's a pleasant path accessed by a gate at the back of the hotel, go left and you're in San Blas in 15 minutes, plenty of eateries, pubs, shops etc. Take a right and within minutes there's a strip of restaurants and a marina 15 minutes further on; nice views and a pleasant walk. Take mosquito spray, they're an issue if like me, you suffer from allergies. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing stay. It isn't for you if you want to be in the thick of it and if you have children that need lots of entertainment, it is a very relaxed vibe here which was perfect for us, and it's only 10 minutes drive from the airport. Would definitely return next time we need some sun and a few days to unwind."

"Fantastic trip with ten dads, middle aged. Fantastic hotel, pools, all inclusive, rooms were perfect for sharing - 2 per room (make sure you message in advance for this), we went for 3 nights, the weather, saxophone player around the pool, restaurants. Only niggle was music turning off at midnight. This hotel is a super fun hotel… not for anyone who wants a quiet getaway. "

"This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this hotel having also stayed for a week last year in Sept too. We had a brilliant experience first time and equally as good this time too. We absolutely love staying at this hotel and would highly recommend it. The breakfast is delicious with everything you can think of to eat, so much choice !! The pool is lovely and the staff so friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is so good being right on the sea front close to lovely restaurants, bars, beach etc and just a 10 min walk away from the brilliant Siam Park that you must go to as it’s fantastic !! As I’ve already said we highly recommend the Dreams Jardín and will definitely be coming back next year !! Love it !!!"

"Good apartment hotel. Helpful staffs. Nice pool. "

"Array of restaurants is impressive. The beds are comfortable and the food was very good. The wines are a bit overpriced but the staff were welcoming and attentive "

"What a wonderful hotel and the all inclusive was excellent. We enjoyed having lunch at Breeze overlooking the ocean - you could even have steak! Breakfast and dinner buffets were brilliant as well. The all inclusive included all drinks and the cocktails were freshly made. The wine was from a bottle and not on tap and very good quality. I recommend the pina coladas and Aperol Spritz! The pool area was well maintained - we could always find a sunbed. We hired a car which was quicker and cheaper than a transfer from the airport and have us the opportunity to drive up Mt Teide and to the Masca Gorge - both of which were stunning views and the landscape is beautiful. All in all a wonderful relaxing week away! Thank you Barcelo Santiago!"

"Room excellent, hotel set up fantastic for small children, but if you want anything extra like to see extra shows or extra visits to themed restaurants you have to pay, and game rooms for kids but again you have to pay"
