Traveler Reviews on Tenerife

Hotel Monopol

Jan 5, 2009

On arrival discovered hotel surrounded by roadworks. We were put into rooms on lower ground floor, after pre booking rooms with a balcony .Eventually moved, but room tatty and bathroom smelly. The hotel is also very noisey we could clearly hear snoring, and people talking and moving about. The area at the rear of the hotel, next to the police... more

Ocean Palace

Jan 5, 2009

I have never submitted a review prior to this, but I feel a sense of duty to all none German speaking, Ant hating, Thief loathing people like myself to do so. I took my family of four away for Christmas and new year, and chose this hotel because its description ticked all the boxes. we even have friends that had... more

Tenerife Sun Club

Australia
Jan 5, 2009

We stayed at the Tenerife Sun Club over the boxing day-new year period. The place was well looked after & the facilities were very good. The main pool at this time of year was too cold to swim in but our children were happy using the smaller heated pool. It is in a very quiet area & takes about 1/2... more

My wife and I stayed at the Riu Buena Vista, in Tenerife from 23rd december for a week and I felt I just to comment on our stay there. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, the staff at the hotel were absolutely fantastic. They were helpful, courteous, polite and never without a smile, day or night.... more

Jan 5, 2009

STAY AWAY!!!!!! I joined Tripadvisor just to warn away anyone who might be considering staying at this hell hole. I booked on line thru one of the pop up travel sites on Traveladvisor. When I tried to check in the young woman at the desk said I had no reservation, even after showing her the printout. She wanted to know... more

H10 Conquistador

Jan 5, 2009

We stayed at the Conquistador 25th November - 2nd December for our 25th Wedding anniversary, what a mistake the food is very poor not enough choices ok if you are German and evening meals seem to have a different start time which was on display at the restraunt door then the times you were told when you first booked in... more

Costa Adeje Gran Hotel

Jan 5, 2009

Just returned from 2 weeks stay over Christmas. Hotel rooms and the pool areas are lovely and we had great views of the pool and the sea. The hotels worst downfall is the food. It isnt even 3 star standard. We had to eat out 7 nights out of 14. Not much choice and the staff serve you and the... more

Arrived very late on 27th Dec too late for meal (on half board)so given voucher for last day lunch instead. Hotel could have blamed the airline and just said "hard luck", but this set the tone for the stay. New Year's Eve dinner ( no extra charge if on half board) was outstanding as was the way the dining room... more

Reading, Berksire
Jan 5, 2009

We stayed in the hotel from 20th Dec to 27th and I was not impressed by anything at the hotel. Reception is an indicator of how poor the quality of the hotel is....our 1st room was of poor quality and twin beds eventhough we booked double, second room was bigger with double bed but directly across from another hotel and... more

Hotel Los Gigantes

1/1 found this review helpful

This is the 5th Christmas we have spent at the Los Gigantes. Both the location and hotel totally meet our expectations with a calm and peaceful aura about the whole experience. Our room (522) was excellent although you could here the entertainment from TJ's bar so an early night was not an option. The food at both the buffet and... more

Apartamentos Playazul

Jan 5, 2009

The hotel is basic but is in a great location, its within minutes of the main strip and only 5 minutes away from the beach. The hotel room was a good size and had basic facilities. The maid didn’t seem to come that often which was a bit of a problem with 5 girls sharing a room! The hotel reception... more

Compostela Beach Apartments

Yorkshire,England
Jan 5, 2009

Having stayed here a couple of years ago we were looking forward to the cracking location and what is on offer around the apartments. We were lucky enough to get at pool view this time having had a road view last time, for the price we paid we couldnt fault these apartments, clean and comfortable. Had no problems with staff... more

Spring Hotel Playa La Arena

Lancashire, England
Jan 5, 2009

We went for a week over New Year. Very impressed with the hotel, it is quite overwhelming when you enter. The rooms were very large with a large balcony overlooking the pool and the sea. We only went bed and breakfast so can't comment on the other meals but the breakfast was excellent, choices plentiful, although on the first day... more

Golf Plaza Spa Resort

Jan 5, 2009

I spent a week at the Golf Plaza over the Christmas/New Year period. As others have said, the hotel itself is fine but even though we booked half board, we avoided the restaurant ("feeding area" is probably a better description). I definately won't ever forget New Year's eve. As we'd paid for the "Gala Dinner" we thought we'd give it... more

WE have stayed at this hotel 4 times now, always in december.

Barcelo Santiago

Jan 5, 2009

The hotel evening entertainment was poor, but the Route 66 bar opposite was excellent especially on Sunday, Tuesday -Thursday when the 50's - Current releases rock act Old Dogs New Tricks was on. We are planning a return visit... more

Oslo, Norway
Jan 5, 2009

After spending most of our time on Tenerife on the beautiful northeast coast, far away from the tourist industry, coming to Vilaflor and this hotel was a mixed experience. There was no staff at the hotel when we arrived. There was a sign that said staff would be there at 1800 hours, but the manager did not arrive until half... more

Ireland
Jan 5, 2009

Yes it was only a three star so we were only expecting as such. The hotel itself is old but we liked it. The staff were nice and there was a good atmosphere. Rooms were small but were very clean and the daily cleaning service was excellent. We stayed for 14 nights which was far too long to be sleeping... more
