Our Customer Rating
(Based on 420 customer reviews)
I have stayed in Babalu before and found it suited our self catering needs. Decided to return and bring my sister and her two kids. After booking I was advised that the pool was being renovated but would be completed by 30 June, that was fine as we arrived late Friday 30 June.

Just back from another enjoyable stay at Babalu - one of our favourite locations in the Canaries. Friendly staff, spacious rooms and large balcony offering great sea views. The communal swimming area is the best feature - unfortunately this time, the main pool was closed for our 1st week for essential maintenance putting a lot of pressure onto the 2nd pool and surrounding sunbathing area - particularly at the weekend. All pools were opened for our 2nd week so we were able to enjoy the full experience as per previous visits. Our stay coincided with the recent very hot weather and showed that the pool area would benefit from some more umbrellas between the plentiful sunbeds.
