Review We've just finished a week staying at Haciendas 2 and was not disappointed at all. Don't read the negative reviews as the place was lovely. We had a one bedroom apartment with extra large terrace which had a double hammock, 2 sun loungers, table and chairs, 2 person seat and small table. The apartment was spotless, kids (ages 10 and 14) slept on the sofa bed which was comfy and we had the bedroom, the bed was also very comfy. Huge bathroom and a washing machine which was great for keeping on top of the holiday washing. We arrived at the airport just after 9pm, yes the security did take a bit of time to get through and the transfer bus (easyJet) was taking ages to leave waiting on passengers obviously still waiting to get through security so we got off and jumped in a taxi which was only about a 10 minute journey and cost just under €30. We told him where we were staying and he pretty much dropped us at the door to the apartment. The code for the key box outside the room was given to us by WhatsApp the day before so accessing the room was easy out of reception hours. The reception staff had also been very responsive to my WhatsApp messages in the days leading up to the holiday. I'm glad we took a taxi from the airport as where the bus drops off and being dark would have been a nightmare with the amount of steps here while finding the room. Yes there are a lot of steps as the apartments sit on a hill. There are a few restaurants and shops very close to the apartments but the walk down to the sea front only took about 15 minutes, slightly longer coming back as it's all uphill. Took a slight detour on first day walking to the beach front but if u walk down past Toby Jug, which is a great pub by the way, and continue all the way straight down the hill you can't go wrong. So many restaurants to eat at and we didn't have a bad meal once during our weeks stay. The apartments are only a few minutes walk away from aqualand, we didn't visit here but it always looked busy. We did book a boat trip, 3 hours to see dolphins and whales. We unfortunately didn't see any dolphins but we saw so many whales which were incredible to see in their natural habitat. The boat trip included a sandwich for lunch and unlimited alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. My daughter was desperate to visit a place called chill box (see on Instagram) we found it and were blown away by the cocktail slushies (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and milkshakes. They were really good and the staff were lovely. Don't get me wrong, lots of lucky lucky men down the beach front but if you politey tell them no then they leave you alone. You get them everywhere though and they are just trying to earn a living. Check out was 10am on the last day and there was a little room to store your cases in by reception, albeit it was just a cleaning/storage room. Bags were safe enough but you do have to get cases out by 5.30pm before reception closes. Our pick up time was 5.51 pm and pick up point was outside Iceland/Morrisons shop. The bus picked us up bang on time and there were a few more pick ups along the way. Airport was absolutely fine, we'd seen some awful videos and posts just from the day before saying folk had missed flights due to the new security machines but there were hardly any queues and it was quicker getting through than it was coming in. I heard a staff member saying that the videos the day before was because fridays are extremely busy in the airport. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Haciendas. That said, anyone with mobility issues, unless you hire a mobility scooter (and there are plenty to hire all around the area), this place might not be for you.

We stayed here for my 50th birthday we booked a One Bedroom bungalow with Chill Out Terrace and Whirlpool - Self Catering From the moment we arrived it was beautiful We used the whirlpool everyday which was so relaxing. The room was really big and had everything you needed ‘ washing machine , cooker ,fridge freezer, microwave , toaster,,kettle and a coffee maker all your plates cups ect They came and cleaned your room and changed towels half way through your holiday stay Our fan broke and with 30 mins we had a new delivered to the door The only thing here no air con !! The staff are very friendly and so polite We dis use the check online so when we arrived late It was so easy to do and key was in your log box next to the door we was given out codes and room number The parking was a bit of hit and miss but we did find somewhere to park even though it was at the top of the hill which didn’t bother us Loads of shops near by we used the food co only 3 mins walk and our daughter who’s autistic found Dr Pepper in there €2 for small and €3 for the big one which I thought was good for being abroad it also sold Iceland products!! Will definitely stay here again

“Loved it”

We enjoyed one week in the Luxury Villa in February. The heated private pool was perfect for the four of us and we enjoyed it a lot. We had daily cleaning so the house was in perfect condition every day. The villas are close to several grocery stores and a short drive away from a large Supermercado and Siam Mall which is good because there is no restaurant or bar at the Villas. There are a few restaurants close by, but the villas are quite far from the beach and all the restaurant and shops. I loved the villa but wasn’t very fond of Adeje as it felt too busy.

“Lovely clean accommodation spoiled by awful access and tired pool areas”

We booked the 2 bed bungalow (it’s an apartment) with large terrace and sea view for a family of 4. The accommodation was really good and spotlessly clean, well appointed and very spacious. The terrace had a lovely view and a range of furniture. Teens loved the hammock. It was very good. However the location is not great. Quite far out of Adeje and an awful uphill walk back. Then an equally awful uphill walk in the Hacienda Village itself - some 150 steps to our apartment. Ruined it really. Made it difficult to get luggage up there (no lifts) and raw concrete very steep slope to drag cases up; and with self-catering, to get any decent amount of shopping up there. If you were not fit, you’d be in trouble here. The pool you see advertised is separate to the main apartment block and instead there are two small very tired pools unless you want to walk down 150 steps, up a hill and up more steps (in the heat - er, nope!). Only 9 beds by each pool and with 60 apartments, this could get challenging if full (but we were ok). Rules re no music by pool not monitored and groups of boys whacking out thumping music by pool annoying. No toilets by pool and 60-90 steps for loo break depending if closer pool full. We had a nice time but sadly won’t return to this accommodation.
