Excellent

it was in a very good location, 15 minute walk away from the main town but still had some shops and bars near to the hotel. very clean, good selection of food.
Only thing was the pool could do with a good deep clean and tiles need a freshen up but other then that everything was perfect
Really nice hotel with seperate beach club, child free. Food was excellent and staff so efficient.

Large all inclusive hotel very close to the beach with nice rooms, several pools and food options. Personnel very welcoming and agreeable. Good location.
Everything went so smooth. They were able too check me in early, which after an overnight flight appreciated. Breakfast/ dinner are included and drinks are reasonably priced.
This was our second time staying at this hotel. The number one issues that we had was parking. Last year when we stayed there was ample parking. This year for whatever reason they decided to implement 9€ parking fee for a section of the parking area inconveniencing guest who have mobility issues and not to mention the set up took away 4 spots! If parking is an issue for staff and hotel guest the staff should be shuttled, thus creating room for paying guest. Additionally the hotel should provide a tag for guests who have cars to be able to get in and out of the parking.

Pleasant stay but too expensive
It was little noisy,I heard TV from other rooms, not always
good room service. Breakfast very good and also the dinner.Amazing 2 swimming pools and bar service there.
€250 euros for a 2 night bed breakfast and evening meal.
Breakfast was good enough, bed was comfy, dinner was satisfactory.
What more can you ask for.
Good price, clean, friendly, comfy bed, nice food.
right in front of the beach (3min walk), huge two swimming pools, convenience store at the entrance of the hotel, bus stop in front of the hotel, parking available, rent a car available in the hotel, gym and spa were great. We will come back.
The hotel is in a great location, a short distance from El Duque Sur and only a 20 minute walk to La Caleta. It is spotlessly clean with very service and facilities. We stayed half board and whilst the breakfast offered a great choice and catered for all tastes, the buffet-style evening meal was very disappointing, as was the meal in the Spanish restaurant. If it was available, we would choose to stay bed and breakfast. All-in-all, a very good hotel that we have re-booked for next year.

Lovely place and the beach club shared with the Riu Palace was nice. My gripes were that I’d booked on the strength of gym reviews - the gym is pretty poor in terms of equipment and had lots of machines out of order; I also think it is pretty shocking to charge for rental of the safe in the room.

Mixed experience.
Good: Friendly and efficient staff, excellent location of the hotel, great dinner, free parking (at least in the low season)
Bad: Pools are cold (not heated at all?); mediocre breakfast; noisy evening entertainment.
Tip: If you are having a room on the pool side, ask for a higher floor, there are much better views of the ocean
This is a lovely hotel in a very nice place. The only downside is the large number of steps to access the beach and boardwalk- it may not suit senior citizens, it was a bit of a struggle for my eighty year old father. We bought some really nice local wine, but the hotel would not let us drink it anywhere except our room, even when we offered to pay a corkage fee.
Fantastic staff and helpful.
We booked room facing pool area, which I recommend.
Service level up to 5 stars everywhere.
Beds are great but in 2 parts. I prefer 1.
Bathroom great big shower.
3 pools and one fantastic with view to the beach and only 50 meters from the beach.
Fantastic food. Something for everyone. Fantastic Friday party ❤️

The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely furnished. There is a large bathroom with a good shower. Negative is that shower gel and shampoo are sachets which are dealt out daily and not enough for two showers a day which most people have after sunbathing and swimming. Food is buffet style and on the whole very good. The Spanish restaurant is very good and we had a nice evening dining there. Staff are v helpful and very much in evidence. Pools are spotless and loungers v clean and in good condition. Evening entertainment was good and the drinks are very generous measures!!

Needs a refurbish!
Hotel is dated, rooms are old, paint on walls is chipped. Lobby staff was quite dismissive at times. I would not stay at this hotel again as the area has other far better choices for similar price. Lobby staff were cold and unbothered...some might say rude.

We were fortunate to be able to find a room when arriving a day earlier than planned. The property is lovely outdoors, very friendly staff in the restaurant.
They were shocked for a last minute booking so it was a slower check in.
We didn’t arrive on the best day, a strike for hotel employees was creating havoc. We didn’t have great meal experiences. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and no wine available.
The room was very tired with minimal amenities, uncomfortable bed and pillows.
The pool was closed at 6.

Terrible experience
There is on-going construction on an aqueduct adjacent to the hotel, so my 0800 wake up call was heavy machine punching through concrete. The hotel's response when I approached them on the matter was "It is on our website." They did move us to a better room but Tenerife is just so amazing I would not waste my time here again ever. The food was average at best as well.
The European Expedia gave the facility poor reviews as well. I wish I had known that before booking.
Det er et voksen hotel med stort V 60+ super lækker mad buffet vi er ikke til buffet men ikke en eneste dag samme mad super lækkert afvekslende💪 vi spiste slet ikke ude fordi det var så godt.hotellet ligger lidt væk for butikker
