I stayed at this hotel in August 2011, as a group of 5 girls. We were worried before arriving at the hotel but were quite surprised to find the staff friendly, check-in was quick and our rooms were clean.

We have just returned from sunny Tenerife and as usual after reading the reviews for the hotel Ponderosa we were pleasently surprised. We did not have to pay a deposit as stated on our paperwork and the staff were friendly and helpful, but very busy. The Christmas Gala was one of the best we have had and full marks to... More

The rooms were very basic with a shower that leaked, a toilet that just about flushed & a kitchen hob that I wouldn't even light a fag on! We... More
