Club La Santa Reviews

Read some of our fantastic customer testimonials about their experience at the world’s number one sports resort, Club La Santa!

Our family has been visiting CLS for 30 years, originally four of us now eleven! Although we have a wide age range there are lots of activities for us all to participate in. The facilities and help from the Green Team are excellent! – Trevor.G. (August 2022).

I have been going to Club La Santa since we discovered it in 1990, and have been around 60 times and it always comes up fresh. When we first went it was with our three sons aged 9 to 15, and I was specifically there with friends for the Running Challenge in November. We have been every year since then with our own groups for “The Challenge” and have taken over 200 people with us, many of whom are now regulars themselves. We loved CLS so much we have bought three timeshares and now go at least twice if not three times a year.

There is always so much to keep us busy, and there has been massive investment in the facilities which keep it at the forefront of sport training venues. However, it also caters for the non-sporty person with its leisure facilities, variety of eating establishments and relaxing and friendly atmosphere. The Green Team who are experts in every sport and recreation, are friendly and understand the different ability levels of the guests and the limitations of age!

We now use the “seniors” facilities and classes whilst enjoying other general classes as well. Apart from the sports facilities and friendly staff the accommodation is excellent at whichever level you choose. I cannot recommend Club La Santa enough; it is perfect for all age groups – Richard. I. (November 2022).

I first came to CLS in November 83. The weather was awful wet and windy, the aerobics were on an apartment roof and the gym was near to sport’s booking. Power cuts were often and if you had a bath it was in sandy water but I fell in love with the place as was told of all the plans for the future,some of which took decades but from 83 to now it’s unrecognisable. What the next 40 years holds is hard to imagine and I am sure it will look different ,but one thing that won’t change is the 8 o’clock exercises. Thanks to CLS for keeping me exercising into old age! – Graham.T. (February 2023).

We have stayed at Club La Santa for the past 40 years. I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that Club La Santa has shaped the family we have become. We are a very active family who run, bike, and swim all year round and in fact our daughter (who first saw triathlon at CLS) is now a professional triathlete.

My husband and I were 17 years old when we first went to CLS and at 57 we enjoy the resort as much now as we did on our first visit. We have made lots of lifelong friends at the resort who we keep in touch with in the UK. 40 years on we continue to enjoy holidays at CLS – Sue.C. (February 2023)

I first came to La Santa for Christmas the first year that it opened and have been coming every year since so I really can say that I have grown up there! I started coming with my parents and now continue to come with my own children, so they are now friends with my friend’s children and all our parents know all the grandchildren!

There is no place like La Santa, we can all be together or do our own thing training for our individual sports and the kids can be totally independent! – Saskia . G. (December 2022)

Our family loves CLS – as well as the world class sports facilities to be enjoyed by professional athletes and holidaying families alike, they provide consistently top quality service from start to finish. We return every year and are always keen to book again! – David. G. (October 2022)

I have just returned from the most wonderful month at CLS. Thank you ALL for your friendship, help, professionalism and just being you. CLS is like nowhere else in the world. You only have to experience it once and you are hooked for life. For me CLS is 3 holidays in one. The racket sports, Volcano, swimming, running track etc. Fantastic. Then you have the surf station which is a completely different atmosphere again. Windsurfing, paddle boards and kayaking. Wonderful. The Bike Shed. The most wonderful bikes in the world. Road Bikes to get around the island, mountain bikes to see the scenery and city bikes for those who prefer them. You have thought of everything. No need for cars!

For my children who love it equally at CLS they never have to limit their children on activities because one pays up front and then everything is free. This is a very important point for families especially in these hard times. No expense has been spared on the amazing alterations. The sporting facilities have always been Olympic, top notch. They still are but there is so much to choose from now. The gardens are quite beautiful and a pleasure to sit in.

The wonderful hotel which is the most amazing building in itself has changed beyond belief. Instead of green matting, fabulous tiles are in their place. The apartments are very modern and as always very clean. Club La Santa showers are to die for. After an energetic day of sport there is nothing nicer than to stand in your powerful hot showers and then have a cerveza! From a family of 3 generations ranging from 8Yrs to 71 years you have thought of all ages in sport, and activity . My 12 grandchildren have been to CLS since birth and have loved the Star night on Wednesdays, the Monday Green Team Show with all their big new friends and the Kids Club. The parents have loved the time out!

Thank you again for the last 25 years. We only wish we had known about you earlier. As long as you are there we will definitely be returning to our second home – Club La Santa! – Charlotte. B. (February 2023).

I am the current World and European Champion for both the Cross Triathlon and Cross Duathlon (off-road triathlon) and I can honestly say that having your magnificent facilities to train in has been a vital part of my athletic journey so far. Club la Santa is my ‘go to’ location for a warm weather training camp, in addition to your World Class facilities, the complex is surrounded by stunning terrain which is perfect for mountain biking and trail running – great prep for a Cross Triathlon!

Next year I am turning fully professional and in doing so I am very keen to encourage young women to follow my pathway and realise that ‘sporting dreams’ can come true. There are many young women who, like me, have great athletic ability. However, realising success at the highest level, in any given sport, can only come about via receiving and following good advice that allows the ‘keen aspiring athlete’ to change into a ‘champion.’

I will be working very hard over the coming months at building my own brand and promoting the various levers of my success. I wonder if there is some way that Club la Santa would consider taking me on as an ambassador and working with me to develop a ’story’ in order to encourage young women to join and benefit from the excellence of your organisation. I am very keen to draw attention to the opportunities Club La Santa can offer to ‘off-road’ athletes. Events such as Xterra Triathlon and Ultra Trail Running are really taking off and these athletes could hugely benefit from the services and facilities at Club la Santa! – Kerri-Ann. U. (October 2022).

I absolutely loved it. A week was not long enough. The Green Team was so encouraging. The food was nice and the complex itself was hassle-free, had everything I needed with a great shop that wasn’t overpriced.

The booking team in the UK was also very comforting. This was my first solo holiday. I was sharing a room with an unknown female and didn’t know what to expect. They helped me organise everything and talked me through how it all works.

My holiday was the best of both worlds, active in the morning, chilling by the leisure pool in the afternoon to then do a class at the Volcano (Stretch and Relax) at 5pm before tea time. I learned new sports and I will be back again to learn those I did not get to do.” – Lesley N. (May 2022).

This was the first time I’d booked to stay at Club La Santa leading a group. Hayley and the team were great and everything was arranged seamlessly. As a previous guest I knew the facilities are fantastic and this proved the case. We had a superb week’s training in a brilliant venue, on a wonderful island and blessed with superb weather! – Strive 2 Thrive Triathlon Club (January 2023).

We’ve just returned from running our 10^th annual @Streamlineswims trip to wonderful Club La Santa. Our swimmers loved the fantastic facilities and incredible range of classes – we all returned home, fitter, healthier and happier….can’t wait until next year! – Streamline Swim Club (January 2023).

Our company organised a five-day team building training challenge for our third year graduates at Club La Santa in December 2022. In fact there were two challenges back-to-back due to the size of the cohort this year! Each challenge involved a trail marathon and over 150km mountain biking in hot conditions across the tough volcanic landscape of the island. We had a fantastic time at the resort as well as on the trails with their knowledgeable and friendly Green Team guides. The staff and group booking team were exceptional with their service, feedback and constant communication to ensure we had a VIP experience every step of the way, from arrival to departure. A highly recommended location for team building getaways and we are already looking forward to our next trip in November 2023! – INEOS (December 2022).
