Went to Villa Mandi for a post Christmas break in Jan 26. Have been to Tenerife on many occasions but never stayed here before. Rooms… spacious, modern, cleaned daily with generous balcony space and a compact but fully functional kitchen. Pool area… plenty of sunbeds, never had a problem getting a sun lounger round the pool. Two pools to choose from. Both sunny and one heated… Food… not a massive choice but everything was well presented. Fresh meat and fish cooked to order daily. Never had a problem finding something to eat. We went AI and were very happy with choices for bkfst, lunch and dinner. Drinks… all fine, good selection of spirits and wine. Staff… all very friendly. A particular shout out to one of the managers Anna who gave us a lovely room, and was friendly and attentive during our stay. But all bar, restaurant and reception staff were friendly. Entertainment… not lots on offer because we were there at a very quiet time, but there was something on every night, much of which we got involved in and watched. Hotel is a little way from the beach/resort centre but it’s only a 20 min walk or a 5 euro taxi. Enjoyed the walk when we went out, and taxied back to hotel. Overal we had a lovely break at the Villa Mandi and look forward to going back there in September. Thank you for a great holiday.

“A nice hotel but a little too far out for self catering.”

Transfer from airport approx 15-20mins. Check in was a breeze, 2 key cards given with directions to our room (the hotel isn't too big so it was easy to find).

Transfer from airport approx 15-20mins. Check in was a breeze, 2 key cards given with directions to our room (the hotel isn't too big so it was easy to find). We stayed in room 222 with a balcony view of the pool and next door golf course and it also had a roof terrace which was an absolute sun trap (however our sun brolly didn't fit in the base therefore we were unable to shade ourselves whilst eating dinners). As we only used the roof terrace a couple of times, we didn't feel the need to mention this to reception. The room was spacious and modern with 1 X bedroom with 2 large singles and a double sofa bed which had already been made up. We found the beds to be fairly comfy, no complaints here. Plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The bathroom was large however water from the shower did leak under the sliding door and nearly flood the place so we had to pack it with towels after that (not a huge issue). Beds made daily and bin emptied daily also. The air con was useless and barely made any difference! Wish I'd have remembered to bring my octopus fan as it was difficult sleeping at night at times. In peak summer times I can see this would be an issue in this room. The small kitchen was more than adequate with a dual induction hob, fridge, toaster, microwave, kettle and plenty of utensils. Did not include a cloth, tea towel, washing up liquid etc. The pool area was cleaned daily each morning, always plenty of beds available however we felt an opening time of 10am was a little late. People were putting towels on beds from about 9:30am, at times notes were left by the hotel stating this wasn't allowed. The pool was a perfect temp for May and a lovely refreshing dip. Lots of kids had inflatables in the pool. Our only gripe here was the constant smell of cannabis from a group of guests smoking throughout the day. Not ideal! We were self catering so didn't eat in the hotel however we ate food from the pool bar on the day we were leaving and we were happily surprised given reviews we had seen. A lovely toasted tuna sandwich, a toasted bacon sandwich and chips. Toasted sandwiches were just over €6. A slush (small cup) was €3.50 and a large €5. Ice lollies also available at around €3. Supermarket situated underneath the hotel. Well stocked but quite expensive. Nearest supermarket is approx 10-15 min walk away (Mercadona - really good supermarket) which is situated amongst a couple of small cafes/restaurants, a chirros van, ice cream parlour, h&m, sketchers and a small kids play area. We ate dinner here a couple of times and the food was lovely and OK priced. The kids club wasn't mentioned upon check in but luckily the ladies (Nicole, Emma and Lupina) came around the pool introducing themselves and their service. Our kids loved kids club, the ladies were absolutely fantastic and it was a nice shaded break out of the sun for the kids. With the free Siam Tickets that came with our booking, we decided to visit. Initially apprehensive and thinking we weren't 'waterpark people'...we left having an awesome time. The park is great, well set out and the shops inside are good value for money. We decided to skip the free hotel shuttle bus at 10:15 and got a taxi there instead for €10, arriving at 9:20am. We got in at 9:30, situated ourselves by the large wave pool (walk through entrance and head right), got a locker for €7, water shoes for the boys €10/11 and had been on 3 of the large rides before the hotel shuttle bus would have arrived. Caught the free shuttle bus home at 17:30 from right outside the main entrance. *** As adults, we found the floor/paths to be very uncomfortable under bare foot but clicked on that people were leaving their sliders at the ride entrance/exit and just collecting them when they'd finished the ride...no water shoes needed. We are an easy going family and only complain when things are quite bad or need sorting. We didn't feel the need to complain about anything and enjoyed our stay here. Would we return...no! But that's nothing to do with the hotel as such, simply because Teneriffe (Las Americas/Los Christianos) just isn't for us...we found it too busy, too loud and we've found we prefer smaller village type places. I also think a lot of people would find this hotel a little too far from anything when self catering and not walkers like ourselves. ***Please also note, the hotel is approx 25 mins walk to either Los Christianos or Las Americas with little to no shops or anything much for that matter in-between. We like to stay on the outskirts and walk into places but this walk was too baron and boring for the kids, there was literally nothing along the walk till you hit town.
