“So happy to go back. Love it.”

Nice quiet location. Great views to the sea and also the mountains. Charming friendly staff. Improved plant based food options from 2 years ago though this is not as consistent as it could be. Tennis court has been refurbished.

“Nice Hotel Base to Explore Tenerife”

In general, we had a very good experience staying at this hotel. I would give it 4.5 stars if that were an option, as explained below. Pros: - Room was as expected for this level hotel - breakfast buffet with large variety and overall good food quality - good location with quick highway access and several food options within walking distance -free parking (but see below) Cons: - primary parking lot is a bumpy, unpaved dirt lot shared with a church and various campers. It can fill up. Street parking also an option though space is limited. - in-room safe not free to use (this is ludicrous) - no conditioner or body lotion in room - pool towels have seen better days

“Relaxing”

I believe that this was our 5th stay at this Hotel. We have found it to be very relaxing and quiet. The location is ideal for the Botanical Gardens and the hotel is in a residential area. There is lots to see if you are able to walk without problems. They do a curtsey bus to Puerto de la Cruz. Plenty to choose from when it comes to meals. I have tried various small amounts of different things just to see if I like them so as not to waste if it wasn't to my taste. Entertainment is very low key and it depends on what you like. Staff very friendly and Reception have good knowledge and very helpful. When we first started to come to this Hotel we were wary as they have children, but that hasn't been a problem. Rooms are very clean and all the area's throughout the Hotel. Pool area you will see this being wiped down after various people get out of the pool to keep the tiles around from being over wet and slippery so other people can get about without being slipping. We have enjoyed coming here and we have now arranged to go again in December.

“Home from home”

Excellent hotel. Outstanding staff throughout. Juan Carlos deserves a special mention for his indefatigable energy. Always moving fast to seat clients and assist his team when required. Restaurant staff all well trained and fast to meet your requirements. Thanks to all- Sonja, John, Rossrio and others.Staff across the hotel like family, having been here for years and mostly living in surrounding villages. Bar staff attentive and quickly get to know your preferred drinks! Reception staff deal with queries in all languages efficiently and in a friendly manner. Gustavo on the pool deserves a call for his helpful work in setting up/ clearing subbed but always a step ahead of clients in meeting their needs. Thanks Gustavo! Welcome to new manager Javier. Good wishes for your future endeavours here.
