“Great Location near Los Gigantis but average accommodation good if you can get it cheap”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
8
people found this review helpful

We went self catering as we like to get up late, eat out and do our own thing which we did every day!
The accommodation was cleaned every day except Sunday, the pieces of cutlery were limited but were replenished if reported to reception. The kettle would boil then reboil after 5 mins when the temp dropped, so you had to make sure you switched it off. The twin beds were hard and the sofa was uncomfortable and in need of re-upholstering or re cushioning. We had to make sure that we did not leave food around as there were many tiny ants who would come out of the woodwork, but it is what you would expect in a hot country.
Only major complaint was the water was cold at night so you had to shower in the mornings.
TV was limited only 3 english channels BBC World News, CBS Drama and Eurosport but they were free with only £10 deposit for remote which was refunded when you leave.
The safe costs £35 (£25 per week plus £10 returnable deposit) a bit expensive.The resort around the apartment was limited with a few bars and places to eat, plus two supermarkets.
However, Los Gigantis is only a few miles away with a great selection of places to eat and drink. Try the Public Oasis which is open until 6pm which is truely a great place to relax, eat and forget any troubles with a restaurant cliff bar and sun loungers. A piece of heaven! Worth the trip alone!. Or sit in the Square and eat 3 courses for just 9 Euros (It was delicious!)
We had a great time as we hired a car from Economy Car Hire (book before you go as it is much cheaper!), this is the only car hire that does not have any charges if you did have an accident!) Others offer you an extra policy with a charge of 70 euros for this!
Don't be put off by the negative comments of the hotel as you can pick it up cheap.
Go and enjoy the warmth and the sun!

“Hit & Miss!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

To start off, we were NOT supposed to be in this hotel. So our opinions on the whole holiday are less than what they should have been.

Rooms: The first room we had was a complete squalor, something you'd expect the yobs to stay in at Butlins! Plug sockets hanging out the walls, insect infested, dirty and just generally horrible. We were forced to stay in this room for 2 nights until the staff could allocate us something better.
2nd room was fantastic! 3rd floor, above reception. The only noise we heard were some noisy neighbours and our hallway was the maids morning meet up point.

Food: Do NOT come here all inclusive! The buffet food is in general terrible. You could piece together something but most of it was inedible- the onsite pizza restaurant- Morrcollo, was nicer so if you are all inclusive, do try to go there. For a better breakfast, go to the Sports bar just up the road. Drinks fine, snackbar fine- although burgers could do with being warmed up in your microwave!

Hotel Grounds: Pools, bar, evening bar and entertainment- fine if you like that sort of thing. Some parts very run down- don't bother playing mini golf!

Location: Fine, though if you go far you will have to go up/down hills to get anywhere interesting. Like the natural pool. Some nice bars and resturants around with good entertainment and food with friendly staff.

Room Tip: Avoid groundfloor if you can.

“If you suffer from asthma or are allergic to cigarette smoke, don't go here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This apartment hotel is very tired - rusty fridge, rusty bath, very uncomfortable sofa, 80s decor.
Very under-equipped for self-caterers - beans on toast would be about as gourmet as you could manage, and even that would be a struggle as there is only one power-point for a kettle, a toaster and a microwave.
Very noisy at night, with sometimes 2 competing discos blaring out their music. The hotel asks guest to be quiet after 11pm, but these discos go on until midnight.
We suffered from cigarette smoke coming into our room - we can only assume that it was because our next door neighbor was a heavy smoker, and it was permeating through the air-conditioning ducts.
The only thing going for this hotel is that it is clean, and is convenient for several restaurants.

“EXCELLENT HOTEL & LOCATION”

Just returned from a week All Inclusive with Thomsons. Hotel clean, well mainted, food good, drinks and snacks great. The evening entertainment was poor but nice to get out and go to some local bars with excellent nightlife (Especially Route 66).

I recommend you hire a car and get around to Los Gigantes, Masca Village etc. Also the boat trip to see Whales and Dolpins from los Gigantes was excellent. Just go down to harbour and book direct for about 30 Euros for 3 Hours incl lunch.

Room Tip: Ask to be on the RHS of the hotel as its huge with 600 rooms
