Good value friendly hotel
Friendly service & a nice big room. Location was ideal as there's a bus stop directly outside the hotel so easy access to anywhere in the area including the airport.

It was fine. The room was a bit tired and would have been nice to have a couple of English TV channels but it was fine.

Everything was ok. Swimming pool pretty cool. The only things I didn't like: you have to pay for using WIFI inside the room and for using the safety deposit box.

For what we paid the hotel is outstanding, the Guy on reception is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area,, he can’t do enough for you. The hotel is really relaxed about bringing your own drink etc to the pool. The pool bar is superb and very reasonable cost wise. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re on a budget, very clean and the water in the swimming pool is immensely clean and warm in the bottom pool! Those wanting to cool off chose the top pool. We will definitely come back every year as this part of Tenerife is fantastic… thank you for a lovely stay

This apartment hotel was excellent. I do B&B and in my opinion the cleaning team are excellent. The desk staff were polite and helpful and available 24hrs per day. The hotel is 10 minutes easy walk the the beach and as a solo traveller I felt safe in the area. The apartment had a small kitchen area with crockery, cutlery, hob, microwave and sink. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend the place to anyone.

I got what I paid for. Wasn’t the best, but for the price was good enough for a few nights. However at night the bar under the hotel is very noisy until very late!

I came her by myself for a 6 day solo trip. After reading other reviews I was expecting loads of teenage groups and loud music all night long, but it honestly wasn’t that bad in my opinion. There were a lot of teenagers but I didn’t find them too annoying but I‘m also still young so that might be why they didn’t bother me. There was also some music at night but nothing you couldn’t ignore. Really liked the small apartment, lots of space, definitely too much for only one person but if you come here with a group I suppose it should be perfect. The pool area wasn’t super big but still very cute and enjoyable, with a little bar where you could get drinks and food. Staff was generally super nice and always willing to help, especially loved the people working at the bar!! So overall a really nice experience, probably a better fit for younger people though, unless you’re not easily bothered by noises and teenagers :)

Läget bra, poolbarens personal fantastiskts. Receptionens personal 2 toppen trevliga 2 har lite att jobba på. Mailade dem så fort jag bokade detta hotell ( ca 4 månader innan) om önskemål på rum våning 2 eller 3 och även då jag hade gjort två bokningar blev jag lovad att få behålla rummet hela tiden. Rummet jag fick låg på våning 1 , jag fick byta efter jag frågat i receptionen dagen efter och rummet som jag blev lovad via Mail att få behålla hela vistelsen ( frågade även halvvägs in i resan ) och det skulle gå bra. Sen kom dagen då den nya bokningen skulle börja och fick då veta att jag skulle behöva byta rum trots allt. Lägenheten som vi fick var toppen men tyvärr förtogs det av utcheckning och sendan en väntan på 2 timmar innan vi fick den nya lägenheten. Och mitt i detta har min dotter fått lunginflammation. Ingens fel såklart men det hade sparat orken med en flytt mindre.

Je n’ai pas pour habitude de donner des notes mais cette fois ci je me permets de le faire car l’hôtel est affreusement bruyant pour les raisons suivantes : rue passante et mauvaise isolation, voisins bruyants (musique forte, discussion toute la nuit sur les balcons, portes claquées jour et nuit, nombreux bus dans la rue…). Il y en a même qui se permette de sonner à la chambre la nuit. Autres inconvénients : - absence de climatisation et du fait du bruit il est impossible de dormir la fenêtre ouverte. - piscine et bar ferment beaucoup trop tôt (19h), ce qui me parait trop tôt lorsque l’on est en vacances. - propreté moyenne : rat dans le couloir (2 fois) et changement des draps trop rare quand on est à la mer (on ramène du sable). Gros point positif : le personnel est très agréable, très sympathique et très serviable ce qui est très plaisant.
