Whala!Tenerife - Formerly Marola Portosin

Prima hotel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel,mooie locatie

Four of us stayed for 2 weeks and we had an amazing stay. We had an end, top floor apartment with a very large balcony overlooking the pool. Location was great for us as we enjoy the walk to the beach, which wasn’t that far; and it’s La Vista beach which is the best beach ever! Added bonus was being able to dine at our favourite restaurant ’Chouky’s’, oh my days their food is amazing and staff uber friendly - true gem. So the alcohol fuelled stagger home after mega food indulgence wasn’t onerous at all. The hotel was great, Sun loungers, pool side and water cleaned every day. Tip - make sure the lounger is dry before parking your bum; no one likes a soggy bottom! Pool bar was the best we’ve experienced. Staff sooo friendly and the food absolutely amazing, well worth the money. My daughter regularly ordered a burger which was huge, good quality meat and stacked full with extras. I was privileged to be offered a bite (one time only I must add) and oh my god it was a taste sensation - heaven in a bun. €1 deposit on drink cups, but you get your euro back when you return them. People did queue for sun beds but it wasn’t necessary, but always fun to watch. There were plenty of beds and never be afraid to move them about so your group are together. Our apartment was a one bedroom. It was roomy and light with all the amenities for self catering, although no freezer compartment so couldn’t store ice which meant we struggled with space in the fridge because we had to keep our bottled water in there as well as food. But we managed. Whatever you do, do not rely on the hairdryer in the bathroom. It’s archaic, like 1970s, and only provides a warm waft of air. Tip - take your own hairdryer. Plenty of plug sockets but always wise to pack an extension lead to accommodate charging of mobile phones, vapes, headphones etc. we definitely needed the extra plugs. The only downside we had was the sofa bed as my two teenagers found it hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. They struggled more and more the longer we were there. Obviously younger kids would be fine, but the older they get, not so much. But we didn’t have a choice of a two bedroom when we booked, so not much we could do. So, great hotel, great apartments, great location and great staff - massive shout out to the pool bar, we loved you guys! One last thing. The use of **** throughout the resort was rife. Everywhere. It’s was overpowering some nights and wouldn’t be surprised if we were high from inhaling the fumes whilst chilling on the balcony.

Just returned (stayed 4th till 11th) lovely hotel, nipping clean & staff super friendly 10/10 Great location, 5 min walk to the beach, restaurants & bars. Pool view room & the corridor outside room great for people watching. One gripe however, the pool.. I have read reviews from the past about rawdy groups (stag/hen parties) in pool etc. however, the ruling of no floats or a ball in the pool, a little excessive. We traveled with our autistic daughter who likes to Bob away with a ball. The lifeguard blow whistle, they was not one person occupying a sun lounger at the time, seems really odd that the pool is off limits like that. We had days out at beach so wasn’t totally an issue. Having said that, I’d totally recommend, lovely place, lovely staff ❤️

Great place to stay Comfy beds , friendly reception/cleaning staff Room cleaned everyday & comfy beds! There’s also a really nice Chinese restaurant just a short walk down the road. We’re already looking to book for next year again, can’t wait.

We had a fantastic ten days holiday at this hotel. All the staff were friendly and helpful, the food served at the bar was great quality and there was always lots of sun-beds around the pool no matter what time of day we went down. They don’t mess about when it comes to hotel rule breaks, especially making noise at night, which is good as you don’t have people ruining your sleep. This hotel is not too far from the action either, a 10-15 minutes walk and you’ll be at the Golden Mile in Playa de las Americas. We would definitely stay here again! Gracias

Excellent service and staff. The hotel is just a 10 minute walk from The Golden Mile. Receptionists are always helpful with tips for things to do and calling you a taxi. Great pool area, with a nice restaurant, and wonderful staff. The pool is a but small, but the area layout makes it plenty of space for all the people staying. Good cleaning service.
