“A fabulous week-wish i was still there”

I was a little nervous about going here after reading some of the reviews but I absolutely loved my week here.

I was a little nervous about going here after reading some of the reviews but I absolutely loved my week here. I arrived late and there wasn't a bottle of water or any towels in the room but a quick trip to reception sorted this. The beds are a little hard but this didn't bother me after the first night. Everywhere was clean and comfortable. Shower was decent, as was the air con. The pool wasn't freezing and there were enough sun beds. I had a good selection of drinks whilst there:-soft drinks, beer, rum, wine, sangria, local Baileys. I got given a map of Puerto de la Cruz which was handy as I went our most days. Being near the bus station was handy too as I went on a couple of trips. I agree the hotel is dated and there are a lot of cracked tiles in the lobby/restaurant and worn paint on bannisters but it didn't affect my stay. There is limited daytime and evening entertainment but I particularly enjoyed the Spanish entertainment in the evening. Food-I cannot understand people slating the food. I even heard some complaints when I was there. Some of the fruit was frozen and I did have a couple of broccoli dishes over the week that were cold but other than that I thought the food was great and I stayed all inclusive so was having lunch there too. Lots of fresh fruit, salad bar, freshly cooked meat and fish (some of the meat was a little chewy). I had a different paella every day and things like ham and cheese croquettes but they also had pasta, pizza, chips if you're desperate for them. It would be good if the hotel offered a packed lunch for those on all inclusive if they're going out for the day. I could see the hotel had taken other feedback onboard-there was music playing in the pool bar and the trees causing one end of the pool to be shaded had been cut down (which was a shame, I thought. All in all, a great stay and I would recommend it. If you're looking for a Brits abroad type holiday, it's not for you though. Mixed nationality clientele, quiet on the entertainment front

“Very decent hotel”

Very decent hotel, conveniently situated with a very short walk to the beach. The only downside is the food. If you don’t arrive early at the canteen, many things are gone. Many products are of poor quality, thawed rather than fresh (had one cake with ice still in it), overcooked (especially vegeta… more

Very decent hotel, conveniently situated with a very short walk to the beach. The only downside is the food. If you don’t arrive early at the canteen, many things are gone. Many products are of poor quality, thawed rather than fresh (had one cake with ice still in it), overcooked (especially vegetables), leftovers served at the next meal and it’s hard to build a coherent serving (foods don’t go with each other). Food is poorly labeled and sometimes you don’t actually know what you’re eating (thought I got an onion ring, but it’s turned out to be squid for example). If you’re not all inclusive, you can only get something to drink for free at breakfast. Beds are a tad uncomfortable, but we asked for extra pillows and got them with no issues. We got stuck in the lift once, but were rescued promptly (within less than 10 minutes). If you rent a car, it can be difficult to find parking near the hotel, most days I had to park 10 minutes walk away (in May).

“Great 4-star experience—don't listen to the negative hype!”

We just got back from a lovely stay here and would easily give it a solid 4/5 stars. Honestly, some of the recent negative reviews are totally uncalled for.

We just got back from a lovely stay here and would easily give it a solid 4/5 stars. Honestly, some of the recent negative reviews are totally uncalled for. We saw a guest have a go at a server over refrigerated water late at night, which was just shameful. The staff here work so hard and are incredibly sweet and efficient. The location is amazing—tucked away in a quieter spot but only a 5-minute walk to the beach and 15 minutes to the center. The hotel is super clean; they scrub the public/pool bathrooms at least three times a day, and our room was spotless. The pool area is massive, and we loved the big couch chillout area. Service at the bar and restaurant was lightning-fast. The only reasons I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 are that the 6th-floor room Wi-Fi was very poor (fine in the lobby), the buffet food could have been warmer (though meal times are long and the Mediterranean dishes are decent). The entertainment leans toward an older, international crowd. Premium spirits cost extra to upgrade. We had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

“Just ok”

Three friends, in our 40’s, looking forward to a fun ‘adult only’ weekend away but were really disappointed as there was no atmosphere in the hotel, no music around the pool or bar and we were easily the youngest guests (by about 30 years). The rooms, although dated & run down, were clean & comfort… more

Three friends, in our 40’s, looking forward to a fun ‘adult only’ weekend away but were really disappointed as there was no atmosphere in the hotel, no music around the pool or bar and we were easily the youngest guests (by about 30 years). The rooms, although dated & run down, were clean & comfortable. The staff were nice & friendly. The food wasn’t good - the breakfast buffet was cold (we were there only an hour after opening) and the dinner was just ok. Not a great selection of ‘snacks’ at the pool bar either and ice creams weren’t included in the ‘all inclusive’, which was disappointing. Unfortunately there wasn’t much happening in the area either - everything seemed to be closed so early. Good if you’re only looking for a relaxing time, but not if you’re looking for a more fun/lively time.
