Just returned from Med Palace. Had great holiday for two weeks. Nice Hotel but rooms let it down. Did hear refurb of rooms for 2012, bath/shower very dangerous, very slippery.
. Shampoo supplied but no conditioner. Our room we found clean but very dusty for the next two weeks, no bed cover put on the bed.
Pools- very cold, especially in Cleopatra. When I complained they said Temp. Was 25o I don't think so when the air Temp was 23?! Thought indoor pool was free. Charge 15e. Both Hotel pools cold. , booked this Hotel because I expected them to be heated! So what was the point! Sun beds at Cleopatra very hard. Come on management we've seen three star with mattresses! No entertainment at night in Cleopatra
Only in Med Palace, confusing entertainment Info Board doesn't tell you correct details...be wary of waiters - 'wrong change' given three times...
Food- we found good service, some staff could be glum but majority really excellent, it's how you are to them sometimes. Food wasn't that good. Except the freshly fried. Good hygiene standards in that department. If which I take particular notice. No cross contamination.
Great selection of fruits endless and ice cream- the best .
Breakfast. Get there either very early or late otherwise it's bedlam. Fresh omlettes, fried/boiled /scrambled eggs, typical strange sausages n bacon. Plenty choice continental, juices, smoothies and great coffee (if you know how to make it) I mixed cappuccino with expresso!
Great location Tenerife gone upmarket we'd go to entertainment bars after dinner then back to Hotel for Cabaret and Cocktails. Actually hotel drinks cheaper than outside Bars. Ok you can get cheap beer outside for 1 euro but I like Cocktails or Barcardi. Hotel gave good measures
Cafe at hotel. We lunched at every day. Very good food at reasonable prices.
We had free fridge due to medical condition. Free WiFi for everyone. Looked at rooms with splash pool. Very nice to have one of those.
Reception. We always found very friendly. Yes busy at times but people coming in all of the time.
One thing I missed at this Hotel, a bar where you can sit and have a drink with pianist/singer with song requests, there is nowhere to socialize and meet people, they have a single pianist plays for a short time but that's no goog. Management go take a look in Conquisidor at their lively bar!!! Med Palace has Sports Bar but who wants to sit there while their men are watching football. Comeon Management. Think about it! You'd get more in.
We would like to return to Tenerife for a month if Hotels pools were heated.
We checked in on my Birthday but was disappointed not to have it acknowledged.
Booked with Cosmos who have appalling Rep. Didn't turn up for one meeting. Didn't leave us a cancellation message, gave us wrong information about Xmas Festival of which we went for that reason. Told us procession was in Las Americas. It was in Los Christianos. So we sat for hours waiting and missed it - go figure! Tried to phone her Three times to re schedule a show no reply. Went to see her three times where she's supposed to hang out every day. Not there! In panic we tried her emergency. Number. No answer. No voice mail. How worrying is that! Eventually we found an email address though she hadn't given it to us.....
Weather was great every day. Bit chilled at night so need a wrap you ladies. Look out for 'Elvis, Elton n Tom Jones' same guy. Very good.
Book the Musical show. Amazing. Plus the Trannie night.
