The hotel environment was excellent. Since we had a car, we could drive directly to the parking lot, so climbing stairs wasn’t an issue. The breakfast pancakes were especially delicious—highly recommended! Dinner was different every day, so it never felt repetitive. The staff were all very friendly. I highly recommend this hotel!

Great place to stay. The rooms were large and although we didn't pay for a sea view we did have a good view of the sea from our balcony.
The food was really nice and varied each day. Slight negative was that we weren't informed of the option to use the restaurant downstairs on our arrival. When all inclusive you can swap the buffet for a meal in the restaurant downstairs. Unfortunately it's only open on a Friday and you have to book at least the day before so we missed out on it.
The gardens and pool were sheltered from the breeze which made it a great sun trap. The pool was decent size and there was no need to get down early to get a sunbed as there were always some available.
Cocktails were really nice and most were available in the all inclusive even with branded alcohol. Bear on tap was Amstel.
The walk down to the town was fine but lots of steps. They do however have a free shuttle bus down if needed which we didn't use.
The old town area of the port was lovely with great restaurants and walks along the front.
We hired a car which did mean that we had to pay for parking at the hotel. You have to book and it was €35 for the week but you do get your own spot.
Great place and will go back.

The location is about a 15 minute walk to the main town,241 steps is the quickest way down if on foot,but 241 steps coming up is a challenge.
The hotel does put a bus on that takes you down and back.
There is a little shop 5 minutes walk for essentials and one bar 10 minutes away.
But the hotel is all-inclusive ( if you choose).

tldr: it's ok, clean, good service, usual Spanish Hotel food - aimed at Euros, not British, but I'd go back.
Visited December 2024. Half-board. Extra for safe and kettle. water/beer/soft drinks in mini bar, pool towels with deposit. Rooms are clean, and cleaned daily, no sign of bugs in my 3rd floor room. Some other reviews report cockies, perhaps they had ground floor garden rooms. I paid a bit extra for a Teide view, tbh it's just the absolute top of Teide as the hotel is in a shallow dip, but this is nice as it keeps the wind off.
The food is probably good but not aimed at Brits. Breakfast is the usual Spanish hotel streaky bacon, weird sausages, watery baked beans and the vast array of continental stuff. If you're not into the full English you'll find something decent to eat with plenty of cheeses, cooked meats and fruit yogurt combos. One day they had actual British sausages, I mean they were low end greasy spoon sausages, but I've not seen anything other than weird little coloured sausages at a Spanish hotel before, so kudos.
Dinner was a decent selection of two fresh grilled proteins at the service counter, sometimes actual nice fish, usually run of the mill chicken or pork, a stew type dish, veggies, some kind of chips. Always plenty of cheeses and meats, a soup, a bit of salad and the usual array of tasteless, tiny deserts. Redeeming feature - every day there had really good Canarian potatoes and passable mojo sauces. A decent wine selection in the restaurant.
Now, the entertainment - if you're German and aged 70+ you'll love it. One night the "musician" didn't even sit with the organ/keyboard while it played it's mind numbing selection of ancient hits. A night of Spanish guitar/modern pop that had the euro wrinklies strutting their Strictly stuff all over the dance floor. I was wondering why the bar closed at 11pm but it was cause most guests went to bed before 10pm. Banging it is not, but if you want a quiet hotel this is the place. If you want more of an interesting night life go to the Plaza del Charco in the evening but be prepared for the usual tourist trap type restaurant.
I actually found this a good base to explore from and situated with a nice garden and (not too cold) pool. The park outside is well used by locals and good for a swift constitutional. On the other side of the park is The Hotel Tigaiga, which is a slightly nicer version of this hotel with even less going on in the evening. But it does have a nicer A La Carte Restaurant.
If you want to try some splendid and interesting food and wine go to Vinoteca Con Pasion (let them choose a wine for you). Visit Alberto's Bar across the park for a drink with great views. If you want a silly and good fun/value local cooking lesson see if Bodegas Monje are doing Mojo sauce lessons. If you are renting a car there's a free car other side of the Taoro Park, busy but possible to avoid paid hotel parking.

Lovely staff. Hotel very quiet around. Nice and clean rooms. Great food. Location is close to city centre (if you like it). Charge for car park located by the hotel 8€ per night or you can use a free car park 5mins walk away from hotel :) Highly recomended. It's really nice.
