3 Star Tenerife Holidays

Ian Arnold

Currently staying in the hotel on a 5 night break with Jet2 holidays. Rooms are adequate and cleaned daily except Sundays. Furniture does look dated but it's the same in virtually every Spanish hotel I've ever been in and as I only use the room to sleep and wash in it's more than adequate. Food is self service and therefore plentiful and is of a good quality, and suits every palate. I'm staying all inclusive and it's totally acceptable. Pool is located on the top floor of the hotel and is quite small but I've never yet had a problem getting a sunbed or in the pool itself. Pool area is kept clean and tidy. Hotel is located a couple of minutes walk from the main bus station in Puerto De La Cruz from where you can get buses all over the island and is about a slow 15 minutes walk to the city centre where all the shops etc are. Only downside to the hotel is that it is noisy with a hotel (be live Tenerife) on one side blasting out incessant music for most of the day and on the other side is a sports hall complex from which you get noise of cheering crowds and whistles from the referees. Apart from that I'd thoroughly recommend this hotel as the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to help.

The rooms were very dated and far from spotless- there was a bunch of hair stuck to the tiles in bathroom and nobody cleaned it for a week that we were there, same with some dust and more hair under the sink. Pretty disgusting. The furniture was dated but it was expected, beds and sheets were nice and clean. No sockets in sight- found one in a cabinet and one behind a side table- very uncomfortable. Swimming pool- clean but very small and the atmosphere there was horrible- feels like if you make a sound louder than a whisper you’re not welcomed. Parking on the street- impossible, so if you hire a car it will be a nightmare. The thing that was great about that hotel was its location and I think it’s the only thing going for it.

The hotel is nice and the reception seemed more like a four star hotel. I was impressed by the food waiting for us as we arrived late at night. It was much appreciated. The room was big enough, clean and comfortable with good ac. The staff were excellent. The food in the restaurant was good. The rooftop pool was small for a hotel this size and had a strange rule of having to not make noise! Seemed odd considering there was a separate area below with sun loungers. Surely that could be the quiet area? The hotel is close to a small beach and about a 15 minute walk to the gorgeous town centre of Puerta de la Cruz . The hotel was about 80% Spanish with 10% British and 10% German. We also had a nice sea view and mountain view.

Great location, being a 5 mins walk away from the beach. A great 3 star Hotel, situated approximately a 2 mins walk to the main bus station, and a supermarket also 2 mins walk from the hotel. Our chambermaid named Eugenia, was absolutely amazing, she cleaned our room 206 like no other, that we have personaly experienced on our travels. Our room was big spacious and spotlessly squeaky clean, Eugenia was very very thorough. I cannot comment on the Hotel food itself, as we came self catering, our only complaint being no toast maker in our hotel room..... Hotel G F Noelia, also boasts a roof top pool, with absolutely amazing views. A must visit for all to try, also boasted evening entertainment 😀 A safe deposit box costing €1.80 a day Also free Wifi, really cannot fault this hotel.

We have loved our stay at GF Noelia. We came for our honeymoon and they left us out a fruit platter and a towel display with petals. It was also my husband’s birthday during our stay and I put up a sign saying happy birthday and when we came back they left him a note with sweets wishing him a happy birthday. The service and small touches are amazing, would recommend!!! Rooms are a little dated but overall very good condition.

Absolutely great holiday with family and children. We arrived late night exhausted, and found hotel staff left dinner for us in the fridge - what a caring gesture from hotel, well appreciated. Hotel has a stunning green territory with own botanic garden, we spotted a rooster and 2 hens living there too, quite cute! Delicious food, lovely bar, great customer care and good value for money. Definitely would return.

It was very nice, the rooms were beautiful and clean with an amazing view over a garden. Food is good (should urgently have more vegetarian options). Nice gardens, 3 pools, billiard, table tennis, paddle. Tennis courts close by. There's a shuttle bus into town.

Great hotel, our room was clean and well maintained. We were only b&b, breakfast was good. Choice of hot and cold food, fruit, cereal, pastries, breads. A very good choice if you want a quiet location. Walkable to all the beaches but there is a courtesy bus that takes you to the commercial centre.

The hotel and staff were excellent overall, room was big, spacious and well equipped. hotel had a wonderful trail of trees from all over the world and a lot of activities/areas to explore and enjoy. Location distance to local shopping centre was not bad especially as they have a shuttle service and cabs too are very reasonable and reliable. Special mention to a wonderful bartender, Yasiel who made the BEST drinks. He definitely goes above and beyond with service and his drinks including his specialty drinks are quality. My family and I ordered quite a variety of drinks over the duration of our holiday and we were not disappointed ever. Another member who we interacted a lot with was Isaac who entertained on karaoke nights and during the day with a lot of activities. Brilliant place for an amazing relaxed atmosphere where you can tailor your holiday the way you want.

Really like this hotel. It is older, has two buildings, has spacious grounds and is peaceful. It doesn't have air conditioning and is a little bit out of town up a steep hill for those with mobility issues. Very clean, larger rooms, pleasant staff and good value for money.

This was the cheapest hotel we could find in January in Los Cristianos, we booked last minute and found a lot of the accommodation in the area was sky high in price. I'd say it was pretty much what we expected - as our expectations were quite low. I would say that the pool area was quite nice with plenty of sunbeds, and the staff here were very accommodating and friendly. We were also quite happy with the size of the private terrace we had on our room (our room was the most basic option). Also, the location is pretty good, close to the main areas. Two things let it down for me: 1. The beds were very uncomfortable, the staff did arrange for us to have a mattress topper put on but even with that you can't get around the fact that the beds are desperately in need of replacement, and we weren't able to sleep well on them at all. 2. The included breakfast, whilst having a lot of options was not the greatest. All of the "hot" options were stone cold on all 4 mornings of our stay, that is to say, the items weren't even slightly warm so I imagine most of the food is cooked very early and then left out rather than kept warm properly. I think go for the hotel if you're on a budget, a short stay here was enough for us though.

Food was beautifully presented buffet meals. Lots of options to suit everyone. Cooked fresh as you wait steaks, fish, etc if preferred.I did see small brown bugs coming up through a hole next to the food & running across it. I'm sure the Staff are aware of this! Can it be prevented in such a large Hotel? Wine was tasty. Gardens well-established & relaxing with smoking areas separate. Beautifully lit at night. My room was overlooking the pool & entertainment stage so I could sit on balcony to chill - East facing so sun all day until sunset. Noisy until Midnight with the various Acts but I didn't mind. Overall it was very relaxing but it's down to personal choice.

Wasn’t expecting much, but after all I was surprised with care and service Ive received at this hotel. I enjoyed the stay with all offers and had really pleasant time. Also Yoga with John in the morning was nice and relaxing and gave me nice start of the day. Time at the pool was peaceful and calm. Even though there wasn’t many kids at the moment of my stay, hotel was looking prepared for them and seamed very child friendly too.

I have given three stars to the location. Why? Well Tenerife is beautiful and many locations are as close to the beach and vibrant live around as this one. But Sol Arona seems to milk “location” way too much. Please just for the love of god buy new mattresses, put an effort on the quality of the rooms and facilities. Mind blowing that in this day and age you dare to charge the prices you charge for that quality. I have visited this island many times specially the north and I can tell you and everyone reading this, people here take very seriously quality in hospitality. Only one picture for those that want to understand my comment on facilities. Update based on their response: in order to get a good bed, maybe call them ahead to know which rooms have decent mattresses. It seems it’s okay to have bad facilities. So, seems to them it’s the guest who doesn’t know how to book a room. By the way the prices are pretty much the same. Now, actually thanks for replying I forgot to tell you that you can hear everything from the hallway to the next room to the outside.

This hotel is an absolute disaster and nothing like the photos advertised. Upon arrival, we expected our room key to be ready, as we had already informed the hotel of our arrival. Instead, we’ve been stuck in a queue of 10-15 people for over 20 minutes, waiting for the incompetent reception staff to handle basic check-ins. It’s beyond frustrating to see how slow and unorganized they are. The service is appalling, and the entire place feels like a relic of the Soviet era rather than a vacation spot on Tenerife. For €160 per night for two people, you’d expect at least some level of professionalism and comfort, but this hotel offers neither. The interior is outdated, the staff seem indifferent to the needs of the guests, and the overall atmosphere is just depressing. This has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had with any hotel. Avoid this place at all costs – it’s not worth your time, money, or patience. Absolutely unacceptable!
