Lovely place

Was a dream place for us. :-)
We had a feeling like we were at our second home.
The apartment was very clean and fragrant.
The view from the terrace was incredible and the sound of the ocean is immersive.
If next time we come to Tenerife, then we want to stay here again...

Just Great

We had a lovely stay here and would thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay. But..... and there are always buts. Firstly a car is an essential unless you do not intend to move off the site at all and eat all your meals in the pool bar or restaurant. With the car you will need a Sat Nav without which we would never have found it. I have a Garmin and the route it took going to the complex was narrow, windy and we wondered where on earth we were going but we got there. They give their address as number 11 and this is what we put into the Sat Nav. In fact the entrance is at number 14, just follow the road round the complex and you will find it. It is a dead end and you will be VERY lucky to find a parking place there but there is a turning area where we unloaded the cases before parking up round the corner. A different route out and still windy but not as narrow. The complex is relatively near the motorway so handy for getting around. It is an upside down complex you enter on the ground floor which is also the top floor. The floors are minus 1,2 and 3. We were told our apartment was on Minus 3, E12, but we could not find it and the receptionist had to come and show us. You will easily see C apartments which are up a few steps and D apartments which are down. The E were not obvious and are down past the D. I felt I was going into a pit it was so dark and gloomy and was a little apprehensive. No need the apartment was light and spacious. I soon came to realise that there were about 4 apartments on the E level that had the paved terrace in front of the glass doors with an addition of a further graveled area beyond so much more room. The apartment was East facing and had the morning sun but the sun stayed on the extended part of the terrace until 4.30 to 5 so almost all day sunshine. The extra terraced area has only about 9" walls around it and at the end there is a drop of about 4' onto a small service area and then a drop of perhaps 20' down so would not really suit those with small kids. On opening the doors the first thing to hit me was the noise, it sounded very windy but wasn't. A walk to the end of the terrace showed what it was, an inlet from the sea with a couple of large rocks and the noise was the waves hitting these, it was ever present but in a way quite soothing. The apartment was a sleep 4 but there were only 2 chairs on the terrace by the small table and inside there was the sofa bed which at a push would seat 4. There was plenty of room for a further easy chair and feel this should be provided. Kitchen equipment was pretty basic, a pair of kitchen scissors and a kettle would have been useful additions. I don't cook but a cuppa Is needed now and then and scissors to open packets of cheese and ham and the like would have been better that risking slicing a finger with a sharp knife. We ate one meal in the restaurant. The choice was very limited and the food was OK but not special, I would not have wanted to eat there on a daily basis. The pool looked clean but we didn't use it, it was not huge and there was a small children's pool and play area off to one side. While we were there there were no scheduled activities for children or evening entertainments. I do not know if these are provided in the height of the season. Absolutely not something that we missed. There is no shop on site and you definitely need a car to get to a supermarket. There is a small one in the town and a Lidl just on the edge of town. The reception staff were polite, friendly and helpful. They all spoke some English but seemed happier in German and most of our fellow holiday makers appeared to be German. The whole complex was as clean as a new pin. My assessment is that it suits older couples or those without children who are happy for a quiet place to stay. It comes highly recommended by myself and my husband.

grate place for us to stay

we were staying there for a week where most of it we spend traveling arround the island so location was very handy for us (very close to motorway). amazing view from our terrace (we had room E13) but we were the lucky one as we had the very bottom apartment with terrace. happy with cleaning service , equipment in he kitchen , furnitures maybe are not the newest one but comfortable . tv in room - most of chanels german but you can find some radio on it as well - which was good enough for us as we were there to relax not to watch tv. had dinner in hotel's restaurant once - was tasty but a little bit cold , very small choice. most of staff is speaking german not english but they are helpfull and friendly so language barrier wasn't a big problem for us. very quiet place so you can enjoy evenings on the terrace with glass of wine .

Nice, clean and spacious rooms

The hotel is very clean. In two weeks I didn't saw any bugs.
The rooms are spacious and each one has ocean view, but no conditioned air although is needed some days.
The cleaning service in rooms is made on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the service is very good, but there are just a few ladies and they can't finish the job until 1 or 2 o'clock so you can rest in room.
The kitchen is enough equipped, but they should let the detergents bought and used by another tourists in the rooms so every one which will come to have some.
The breakfast is fresh and enough but is so repetitive and contains food from the last dinner that they served. I don't think that in the morning they cook paella and different kind of stews. About fruits...they are hardly exist, but every morning they put one or two kind of them although in Tenerife are so many and cheap fruits.
The pool is very clean, too.
The entire hotel is very nice, you can very easy accommodate and use to it.
The furniture is old and is needed to be changed soon enough.
We loved staying here and we recommend it deeply!

Fantastic stay

We just stayed at this fine establishment for a week with our 3 and 6 year olds. We booked it through a discount travel agent so we were not sure what to expect...it was amazing! It is not four star...there is paint chipping on the balcony and the food is just ok...but that same balcony looks out on a gorgeous beach and the food is digestible and served by kind/helpful people. The pools (a child size and adult) are pristine and gorgeous. There were always enough dun chairs and umbrellas and never crowded or loud.
The apartment was also pristine and cleaned Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The one bedroom apartment fit us well and the beds were firm but comfortable...again, not four star but clean and adequate. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, dishes, pots and had coffee maker.
The complex also has a coin operated washer dryer and each apartment has a drying rack.
There is no air conditioning but we left the large sliding doors of the balcony open and that was enough.
I would bring towels as they only provide the small white hotel kind.
The beach from the pictures is a pretty good trek down and then back up a steep hill but it is easy enough....our 3 year old did it daily.
There is parking outside the complex...it is in a neighborhoody area in which we always felt safe. ALL of the staff are wonderful and helpful.
I really cannot recommend this place enough...it felt like we stumbled across a hidden gem....will definitely book again.
