“disapionted”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I travelled in september and stayed for 2 weeks with my Partner. we booked the appaartments due to the location and good reviews. Location cant be faulted but our next break will be spent next door at the colon ll. we went self catering and found the facilities to be of a good standard for a self catering appartment. thats about where the posertive coments end. the apartment was designed for disabled with ramps and grab rails, meaning every time we had a shower water ran from the shower area into the living area. Cleaners entered daily but did little, perhaps if they had done more there wouldnt of been such a problem with COCKCROACHES. Cleaners not even sweeping up the ones that where laid dead on the pathways. pool area could of been cleaner with yesterdays cigs still littering the poolside a day later . The family next to us woke up with cocroaches running over them while asleep.
I have stayed in accomodation of all budgets but never stayed where the beds where so uncomfortable.
There is a tv ( we dont go away to watch tv but if it claims to have one should have more than one english chanel) the only chanel to watch was sky news. although after a few drinks Dutch wrestling is entaining .

DO NOT post any mail in the hotel postbox we traveled in september and the one postcard we sent arrived in December.

Like I said we chose the appartments for the location. safe, near to beach, plenty of places to eat and central, but there are far better appartments in the area.

Dear Guest,

Firstly I would like to thank you for choosing our complex to spend your short break, and the time you dedicated on making your comments orientated on trying to improve the service for our clients.

It is a shame that you did not comunicate your dissapointment with the room during your stay, because we would have done something about it, but we can assure you that we do not understand how water ran into the bedroom when the shower has curtains. Some of our rooms, as in this case, are totally adapted for handicapped people, but not because of this are they totally different from the rest of the rooms, the only thing that changes is the rooms accesability, door frame wideness and some elements in the bathroom. In general, the room is practically the same as others, and lots of clients prefer this roomtype because the bathroom is bigger, especially disabled guests who occupy these rooms all year round and are very content.

Regarding cleaning, I will apologize if in any moment you could observe any elements on the floor, in the exterior area, because as this is a totally open complex with bungalows, garden areas, etc, it is like a park ,and on occasions there can be some elements such as cigarette ends that clients have thrown on the floor instead of in the litter bins. I can assure you that our cleaning staff endeavour every day to keep the complex in perfect state and daily, the head chambermaid and myself supervise their work to keep it this way.
On the other hand, we have a company that specializes in plague control, and they guarantee control of the insects on the complex, but as you should know, in other parts of the world there are also mosquitoes that are very hard to erradicate completely, which is why it is very probable that you had seen a dead insect or two in the exterior areas before daily cleaning had started.

I am happy to talk about the TV´s, especially to inform you that we will make an inversion on substituting the actual televisions with new ones and increasing the number of TV channels for different nacionalities, so there will be more channels than the two existing english channels.

I would like to remind you that mail service is produced in two countries ( in this case collection,Spain and delivery ,England), so we cannot guarantee how long post cards will take to reach their destination. In any case, we inform you that the hotels postal service is Spain´s official post service and they collect mail twice a week, we have never received a complaint until now.
I would also like you to clarify your holiday dates, as on your comment in Trip Advisor it says February, and you comment that you stayed in the hotel in September last year.

We are very sorry that your experience was not as positive as the majority of our guests, and permit me to recommend that if in the future you are not happy with anything during your holidays, please communicate it to reception so they can try to make your holidays as pleasnt as possible.

Lastly, just to say that there are various important complexes with a prestigious reputation in the centric and important touristic area in the south of Tenerife known as Playa de Las Américas. Within this group, and thanks to our clients comments, at this moment, Parque Cristobal is one of the 8th best hotels of 64 reviewed on this web page.

We will carry on with our dream each day trying to improve our services, instalations, and staff friendliness so to make our clients have a very pleasnt holiday and feel as if they were part of our family.

Best regards

Alexis Santana

“Not bad, but not as good as al the reviews...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We were traveling in January 2012 with 2 little kids, and searching for an apartment complex we came accross this hotel, with very positive reviews, so we booked.

Well, to make things short:

Positive:
- The only complex with nice bungalows in an area where you only find large hotels
- 2 heated outside pools (one a bit more than the other...), good to have in january
- the street just in front of the hotel is only just one traffic lane and a very wide pedestrian area, good for a nice stroll

Negative:
- Although they say 200m from the beach, it's a beach with rocks and stones, not valid for swimming. The nearest attractive beach (Las Vistas) is not far away however, about 1 km, an easy walk.
- The entertainment was not very substantial (crisis maybe??). During the day there was not much going on for the children, and the night 'show' was generally a low budget / no budget thing. The entertainers themselves are not to blaim, but it was really the absolute minimum.

“Very nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I liked almost everything about this hotel. It is very conveniently located on the main walking street. We took 1-bedroom bungalow and I can say it is spacious and well equiped. I can't say anything about the meals as we didn't take any. The maid did her job very well and was very friendly. The male receptionists were extremely friendly and helful, while their femail collegues were noisy and quite useless.
Wifi is free but works well in the reception area only. There is an equiped kitchen, however those, who want to fry fish or something like that will have to buy a larger pan (we did).

“Brill! am going back this year in may”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

we went to this hotel on the 3rd may 2011 with me, my partner, 2 year old daughter and our 6 month old daughter and it was amazing!! the staff was so friendly and loved the kids! they always go that extra mile to make you feel special. With 2 childrens pool and 2 big pools you can not go wrong! a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk (up hill) to good food shops (even a spar) it was very good and handy with 2 children! we even had a celeb staying here for a stag do with his friends (Andy from emerdale) so it cant be bad! food is basic but its what u expect with a 3 star hotel but still no complaints. we are booked in for 2 weeks this year as we felt a week wasnt long enough! most people staying at this hotel was mostly of germans and dutch familys but unlike other hotels we have been to it wasnt overloaded and most spoke to us in english!! if your looking for a cheapish, good, family holiday go here!!!

Room Tip: if you have children in push chairs ask for a bungalow without stairs up to it (we was unware and en...
