Sol Sun Beach

What a difference the renovated apartments make ….( we’ve stayed here before and said we wouldn’t come back , despite the location &friendly staff) we are staying in newly renovated pool view 1 bed apartment and I can hardly fault it …. Sun on terrace all day … bathroom very clean with a powerful shower, handwash, shower gel and shampoo in full size bottles , a large flat screen tv that supports our fire stick , the beds are comfy, plenty of hanging and drawer space , two mirrors … with a ceiling fan that is ever so quiet and cools the room down, aircon is in the living room. The small kitchenette if you want to cook … two electric rings , microwave …. I personally would have installed a microwave with a grill and oven … there’s a full size fridge , again I would have preferred a freezer box inside the fridge for making ice … breakfast is breakfast in Tenerife …There are plenty of sunbeds scattered over large areas and pool towels can be hired from reception . There is a laundry room with large washing machines 5 € and a large dryer 4€……

It may be worth noting firstly that we got this hotel on a very genuine 'Black Friday' deal but if i had paid the full amount of 3.5k for the christmas break i would not have been happy. Hotel !!...It depends what you are looking for i suppose but its not exactly a luxury establishment but most definately a basic apartment complex aimed at families mainly. We had a poolside room and it was very noisy all day long to say the least so the balcony wasnt used at all. May as well book a cheaper garden room i would say. Peaceful is not exactly its main selling point around the pool but there are areas some way off on the rooftop sun areas just no adjaecent pool. Again this may suit some. Its very clean however in the public areas and reception staff were good and efficient at check in. Rooms!!...As seems to be the norm they are not like you see in the pictures but i suppose we all know that. Rooms were clean but furniture was tatty and sofa bed badly stained. Furniture was past its best. The bathroom was small but functional but towels again have had there best life and need replacing. On the plus side there was endless hot water at all times of day or night. The bed wasn't the best or most comfortable and again ready for replacement. Restaurant !!... There are no pictures of the restaurant if you notice of which we asked the question at booking. I would say that its because they dont want you to see how basic it is. The food quality was extremely basic but you wouldn't starve exactly and was of good quality. warm, and varied every night but just not much choice if thats what you look for. Salad is salad as the wife would argue. Again could be very kid chaotic at breakfast and certain evening times. Restaurant has strange evening meal time of 7-9pm. Raul and Sergio however the staff are just excellent staff at all times. Bar area !!. There is one but non existent. Was never opened nor entertainment if thats your bag Location !!.. Now this is its trump card. Its in the best spot ever if you like being entertained. Literally everything from shops restaurants and bars etc etc is outside the front door and the beach is literally 3-4 minute stroll. There is an abundance of places within 50 yds of the door but on the negative side our room could be noisy until midnight from it but not bad at all really. Overall !!.. Not for us as a couple because its a little too basic and if we had paid the full price it would have been very frustrating. Depends on who or what you are looking for but in short its a very basic, very family orientated, very conveniently located place i definately wouldn't stay again.

Second time staying here and only issue this time was work men drilling concrete ceilings during our last few days of our holiday Overall love this place and location is great to just chill out and relax. However this time each day during our second week had problems after problem 1. Work men fitting new sun canopy to various apartments drilling into brick / cement walls very annoying drilling 2. Swimming pool out of action for 2 days ? No one could confirm reason ? 3. Work men drilling holes along concrete ceilings Why no one knows ? Don’t get me wrong have stayed here before and really enjoy the freedom of sun bathing far away from the pool area or if you fancy more lively area sunbath around the pool
