“Worth the effort of getting up those hills!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Our final hotel for the last 3 nights of our stay, and in my children's eyes the best because of the international style buffet (yayyyy, chips!).
Having read some of the previous reviews, I would like to say that once you get to within a mile or so of the hotel, there are now signs to guide you in, but it helps to have a navigator alongside the driver. But you really do feel you are going into a residential area to get to it.

Rooms were good; best mattress I'd had all holiday. Good modern TV. My daughter was quite keen on CNN by the end of our stay! Only the one English channel, but hubby and I watched the German channels.

We were on the first floor, with a little terrace outside, looking towards the swimming pool - the first I'd seen all holiday with a small shallow end for toddlers (or non-swimmers like my daughter) and with far-reaching views (past the residential bit) to the coastline. Water was cold, apparently. I wasn't daft; I just lounged about, reading. We enjoyed a game of mini-golf; didn't try out their 'paddle court', but it seemed popular. I had a reasonably-priced massage, and DD had a good manicure and french polish (much needed after days spent on volcanic beaches!). Their spa pool looked tempting, but we didn't try that one out. The spa staff spoke less English than their hotel counterparts, and I suspect that could lead to them appearing aloof. I had a lot of fun trying out my basic Spanish, and found the staff to be very pleasant. Spa / beauty treatments need to be booked the day before you want them.

A previous poster was annoyed that nobody was about in the bars. True; the place often looked deserted, but really there was no problem. If you wanted a drink, just ask at reception and lo and behold they'd bring it to you, wherever you were (ok, by the pool!); if you wanted towels for the pool, just ask at reception. If you want clubs for the mini-golf... OK, you get the picture. And if you didn't want to go down to reception, there's a telephone by the pool bar. Just phone reception!

We thought there was a good range of buffet food both at breakfast and at dinner, and my children were finally able to tuck into something they liked. We thought the quality of food was very good, so it looks like this is something that's improved over the past couple of years?

Wi-fi internet access is available in the reception area, but also they have a computer available at 2.50 euros an hour. The receptionist was kind enough to print out my on-line boarding passes for me for our flight home.

I thought this was a well-priced hotel and good value (once you find it, of course!). It's a bit out of the way, but doesn't take long to get anywhere with the car. We were a bit traumatised on the way there in trying to find the place (I had printed off directions via google maps, but they didn't always seem to match where we were, and street signs can be difficult to spot), and with the steep hills, so the following day we just got a taxi to take us to Loro Parque, which cost about 8 euros each way. Nice little treat!

We would certainly be happy to go back to this hotel if ever we were staying in the north of the island again.

“Hard to rate this hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2009

This is a hard one to rate as there were pluses and minuses. It has a great location up above Puerto de la Cruz and overlooking the valley and sea, but a car is essential plus a good companion to spot the hotel direction signs from Los Realejos.Parking is very limited unless you want to battle with the small spaces and pillars in the garage.The rooms are large and airy although we did have to change rooms as ours stunk of cigarette smoke despite no smoking in the rooms. The staff were very polite and helpful and gave us a glass of cava on arrival which was most welcome after the drive up.The buffet was cheap but really bad with dried up food and a small selection. After trying it once we went and had a really good meal down in the town at Los Realejos. We did not try the spa but it looked good. We negotiated a very good rate over the telephone at the last minute. Just four stars for its position, price and the nice rooms!

“avoid at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2009

Booked in for 5 nights Feb22 -27 2009 but stayed for one ! Poor location with no
restaurants or bars in walking distance and very difficult to find.Room not
ready when arrived at 2pm and swimming pool bar not open.Virtually no
staff on duty-had to request someone to come down from the restaurant
to serve a drink from the bar.As for the restaurant -self service-cold inedible food.Had to say room was very good but how this hotel has 4 stars
defies believe.Also not sufficient parking.Left at earliest opportunity after
leaving list of complaints with reception.Manager in but unavailable.

“Fantastic Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2008

Nice new hotel. Stopped here during Christmas 2007. Got great deal by ringing hotel direct. Bit hard to find but once you get closer, ring them for guidance. Fantastic spa facilities used nearly everyday. Puerto de la Cruz about 10 minute drive away, hire car highly recommeded. Staff very friendly
