Hotel Noelia Sur, Tenerife

Advantages: Quality, Family Friendly Hotel
Disadvantages: Non really, just needs to sort out the sunbed situation

...I have just got back from Tenerife and staying at the Hotel Noelia Sur. My family go to Tenerife every year and this is the second time we have stayed at the Noelia. It has always been known as a quality hotel, but like many hotels it has its blips. Our flight was with Monarch airlines and to be honest it did leave certain things to be desired. I was told to expect to pay £10.00 for the inflight meals, which basicaly are crap, but Monarch tried to hit us with a £15.00 bill for them.As there were 7 in my party, this would have been an extra £105.00. I honestly do not think there is a need for such a price, as this would bring in more than £5000 revenue for the company, just for the inflight meals. They already charge a price of £3.00 for a 330 ml can of beer that costs 60p in an off license. On top of this there is a hire charge of £1...

Hotel Paradise Park, Tenerife - Great Base

Advantages: Good food
Disadvantages: Mega Hill

...I am pretty new to this and the following is a rewritten review. I have only done this by advise from other members to make it a better presented review. I hope you enjoy - ************ROOM********* The hotel room had brilliant air conditioning (an absolute must in the hotter months) and a little fridge that could easily fit a big bottle of lemonade as well as a bottle of water in it and still have room for some food. I personally liked this as there is nothing worse than warm water. There is refurbishment going on at present ( Apr 07). Be sure to request a room with a pool view as the rooms overlooking the road at the front of the hotel are a little noisy. *********FOOD********** We stayed on a half board basis and had breakfast every morning in the hotel restaurant. The food was always fresh and there was plenty of it. If...

Las Dalias Hotel Costa Adeje Tenerife

Advantages: great pool area and good entertainment
Disadvantages: on a slight hill not good for people with walking difficulties

...this is by far one of the best hotels i have stayed in in tenerife, it was so good i have been three times this year, all inclusive is the best way to go with this hotel as it has so much to offer in the range of food, we have stayed all inclusive three times now and never get bored of the variety of food on offer. hotel has three swimming pools which at most times of the year are absaloutley freezing, for a couple of months between october and january one of the pools is heated but is usually filled to the brim with children. Hotel has fantastic entertainment every night for children and adults at least two shows every night and a childrens club to keep them entertained most of the day, other activities such as water polo bingo archery and riffle shooting take place around the pool during the day to keep everyone entertained. if...

Review of Iberostar Las Dalias, Tenerife

Parque de La Paz Hotel Review.

Advantages: Excellent location and fantastic value for money. Highly recommended.
Disadvantages: Nothing stands out as being an issue.

...Please bear in mind that Holidays in Tenerife are usually aimed at the 18-30 age group. The Parque de La Paz hotel is located in Playa de las Americas on the south of the Island. It is situated nearby a supermarket and a mere 400m from the wonderful beaches. Tenerife's reputation certainly goes before it and I found many of my ideas surrounding the island were wrong. It is true that Tenerife accomodates a large number of english tourists, however, i felt that part of the culture of the island remained in tact and the standards were certainly not low. As for the hotel i thought it was excellent value for money. As a £200 package holiday I felt the rooms were a great standard. The rooms were a good size with a lovely balcony and all the appliances you need. The rooms are cleaned daily by a cycle of friendly maids. Despite having a large...

Review of Hotel Parque de La Paz, Tenerife

Tenerife - The Good The Bad and The Ugly

Advantages: Spectacular and unusual scenery. Duty-free
Disadvantages: Large resorts are lager-lout territory.

...We went to Puerto de Santiago/Los Gigantes, which is northwest of the two most ?popular? resorts, Playa de las Americas & Los Cristianos - muchos Ingleses! These two, in my view, are awful, and visitors going there for the first time expecting something with a foreign feel will be disappointed by the usual rash of "See Leeds v Barcelona live tonite on Sky" cafes and bars. What they do have is beaches. It?s not just us either. The Germans are catered for in a similar way. I suppose Tenerife is like the best and the worst of southern Spain in that respect. Los Christianos does have one saving grace - it?s the ferry port to La Gomera, one of the other islands, which makes for a fascinating day out in itself. Puerto de Santiago hasn't got much of a beach but the pools in the hotels & apartments are usually fine. It has a good...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

A Taster about Tenerife Pearl Centre

Advantages: Nice Loos!
Disadvantages: An oyster must die to gain the pearl.

...I am a Vegetarian but one place that I love to visit on the Island of Tenerife is Tenerife Pearl. I rarely buy pearls due to how they are obtained but I love to look around Tenerife Pearl. There are many fascinating facts to learn about pearls as well as some extremely beautiful sites to see. The centre also sells semi-precious gems, watches, chains and other souvenirs. In addition to the beautiful hand crafted masterpieces (The carnival costumes for instance) that you would expect from this internationally valued company, Tenerife Pearl also produce a whole range of cheaper costume jewellery, to fit even the smallest of budgets budget. Many of these pieces make spectacular and yet also affordable gifts for friends and other family members. With prices well under those of the 'High Street Jewellers' even by Tenerife standards, there are...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Tenerife..Paradise Found

Advantages: Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants near by.
Disadvantages: Can be a little noisy if you are near the Varonicas centre.

...Tenerife..Paradise Found,Well that's my opinion anyway. I believe Tenerife is one of those places, that you either love or you hate. I have heard many varied opinions from friends and family, some good and some bad. I would now like to give you my own opinion on Tenerife. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and its's location, just off the north coast of Africa, gives it a fabulous year round climate. Tenerife is very much an Island of contrasts. In the south, which is known as the sunny side you will find the more well known resorts which include Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos, the landscape is very baron and dry. Plants mainly consist of cacti and palm trees, except around the hotels and apartments, where you will find a more varied variety of flowering plants, due to the easy access to water...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Tenerife - not on my short list

Advantages: Cheap car hire and petrol
Disadvantages: Unpredictable weather, expensive food, lots of time-share touts

...the local red-light district, and a mecca for prostitutes throughout the night. The hotel has been on 'Holidays from Hell' twice and I have also seen some very bad write-ups about it. The area of the resort we stayed in was compact, with a wide abundance of food restaurants of unfortunately, not brilliant quality and generally overpriced. At breakfast time, we saw food advertised at around £1.95 a head, trouble is the drinks prices were not publicised and we ended up paying around £5 each for an orange juice. We ended up eating in the pizza hut/kentucky fried chicken cafe. I had heard that Tenerife was the island of warm weather all year around, whilst we were there we had a few sandstorms, rain, a hurricane, and could not visit half the places we wanted to, as they were out of bounds and had been sealed off by the police for safety...

Review of Tenerife (Spain)

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...
