Hi Paul, I have visited this hotel for about 30 years and i always found it one of the best compared price and quality. Only the two upper floors do have airco and yes, the furniture is atleast 30 years old. Greetings from Belgium.
Our daughter stayed here last October.They paid for a superior room on one of the higher floors which had aircon .She went all inclusive and was happy with food .
I don't understand why people flick cigarette ash over the balcony when there's an ashtray on the table on the balcony. Some people just don't care and have no respect for others. I smoke when I'm abroad but I only smoke in designated areas and if i smoke on the balcony I use the ashtray and if someone next door are outside on their balcony I won't smoke until they've gone in.
Hi Paul. Hotel ok it's clean if a little old fashioned . When i see a sheet going all round the mattress, makes me think what are they trying to hide. Food looked a bit uninviting to me. Price was ok especially over half way through August. Thanks for a great review Paul.
Paul what fantastic video ❤❤loverly views but very special i stayed with my late husband in the 80s and very bad we had to move out as the hotel was vold nut we found something better due to his iilness i love bispam but blackpool no1 thank u and keep safe xp
Another great video Paul . as you say it looks abit dated , I’d stay there , but I would definitely need air conditioning pal , look forward to your next one x
I was turning my nose up at this place but for the price it’s not bad, especially imncuding food. We’re off to Tenerife tomorrow coincidentally. Thanks for another fun review.
Hi Paul The room was dated and the balcony on the first floor not good but I liked the idea that there was a good food choice and the public areas looked good .I think your room should have had a fan for you to use.
Hi Paul, interesting review. Nice to see a good food choice but that balcony has issues. It would be nice if some hotels had a balcony smoking ban in my opinion. Cheers, John.
We are using this hotel next month on b&b only. Didn't really fancy this hotel but price was cheaper than loads of others. Location decent and we're out each night anyway. We always go cheaper as we go away four times a year amd wouldn't afford all that if we went expensive. Stayed in better, stayed in worse. It'll do our needs fine.
Meant to say the prices i mentioned were room only noticed you paid for half board and i have noticed prices for this hotel have went up recently. I think Benidorm hotels are much better value for money than the Canaries .
I’ve stayed before on more than one occasion without any problems but the last visit my room had bedbugs. First I thought I’d had mosquitos in the room but I found Dead ones on the floor and when I stripped the bed found more. Covered in rash like bites. Never again. Don’t plan on visiting Tenerife any more after discovering the beauty and overall cleanliness in general of Lanzarote. Pebble dash old fashioned building needs a coat of paint outside! Wouldn’t recommend.
Great hotel designed in the Brutalist style of architecture. Room good as a base and price excellent for all that's on offer. I wonder if there is a Tenerife equivalent of EastEnders and if they have the same ludicrous storylines. As the hotel won you over Paul it speaks volumes about it's charm I've had buildings that make me feel uncomfortable and it didn't decrease so your experience must have been good. Nice family orientated holiday hotel, thank you.
Hi Penny at first it felt clinical and basic the outside looked like a hospital I use to work at lol, but the staff and family atmosphere once I settled in converted me into a big softy, I have heard not sure if true, that it's closing for a full revamp x
@@whoknowswhere Hi Paul yes the building certainly has that grim concrete look that we seem to have an abundance of since the early 60's in the UK. I hope they do refurbish because it's a hotel that's worth it. Aww I know you're a big softy (as well as being tough) means you're open to people and experience x
I think I remember seeing this hotel while walking in Los Cristianos and thinking I wouldn’t want to stay there as it reminded me of a block of flats. I can’t say it’s doing anything to make me want to stay here, unfortunately. I think I’d rather stay in that 2-star hotel you previously showed us. Thanks again, Paul, for sharing your video.
Hi Paul excellent video the hotel is dated but not to bad the storage space is great to and the bed is small the floor could of been a bit cleaner with the leaf on the floor and yeah the bed is small and the room does need a little tlc and no security on the balcony I wish people don't on balcony it's not good when you have kids with you and the mattress with a stain on it not good but at least the sheets are clean and the bathroom looks nice and a good size to and the public areas are nice and tidy and the food looks nice and the breakfast looks nice yeah you are right about the hotel is busy with school holidays to many kids running around If was to come to Tenerife I would go when schools are in or try adults hotel there is a adults hotel called the arona gran a nice hotel thanks paul excellent video take care pal from Keith 👍
It could be the brown curtains it's again basic and does what it says on the tin. What about milk for tea and coffee. Its a bit noisy the balcony does not look safe. I must agree Paul bathroom looks dated.
A 3-star hotel with no air conditioning and not even a ceiling fan to cool down the room surprises me because I've stayed in a lot of 3-star hotels in Spain and other parts of the world and I can't remember one without any air conditioning or a fan 🤔. Also it looks very dated inside and out especially the exterior and the room is stuck in the 1990s. Sorry but the food didn't look great to me but saying that obviously you only filmed part of the restaurant. Thanks for a great review. 👍
Had the hottest night of my life in this hotel its my least favourite in los cris be interesting to see your hotel reviews here , lots of 3 star dont have air con in tenerife and its crucial i think if staying long term i am often staying one night like yourself so no big deal. Have paid anything from £37 to £118 for this hotel its normally around the £80 to £100 mark which is over priced i think for this hotel.
Dont like this hotel the balcany is not safe no railings up, i realise its 1st floor but would still 'hurt' if you fell off, and all that cigarette ash a no no ! Food didnt look to appetising, but thanks for showing us your review 😊
Stayed their last year and hated it. Never again. Room awful, food adequate and pool side packed put and could not enjoy. I know, you get what you pay for
Hi Paul, I have visited this hotel for about 30 years and i always found it one of the best compared price and quality. Only the two upper floors do have airco and yes, the furniture is atleast 30 years old. Greetings from Belgium.
That balcony wall looked a bit low to me like the top rail was missing. Maybe the angle .
Our daughter stayed here last October.They paid for a superior room on one of the higher floors which had aircon .She went all inclusive and was happy with food .
I love how much depth you go into and taking the time to show others how to budget and make it possible to do these things 😊
I'd stay there - the cigarette ash would really annoy me though!

Thanks for video and review 👍
Hi Paul agree the security is bad such a low wall too no rail either 😳

We stayed there on our first trip to tenerife, never been back or will ever go back to that hotel.

Hi Paul, love your reviews. It would be great if you could review the Pueblo hotel in Benidorm at some point on your travels. Many thanks x
Meant to say the prices i mentioned were room only noticed you paid for half board and i have noticed prices for this hotel have went up recently. I think Benidorm hotels are much better value for money than the Canaries .
Benidorm prices are rising too
Hey paul 👋 I see you brought back the original intro.

Thanks for filming. Would not stay there- dangerous balcony, plus poor design on first floor rooms.
That is a dangerous baloney, if you tripped up your gone over it ,no proper rail and the wall is too small, not for me my friend, stay safe, 🤡☘☘☘
Paul it needs a complete dig out, not my cup of tea.😢
I think the hotel is due to close in 2025 for a complete refurb.
Anothr thought food looks uninspiring
Stayed their last year and hated it. Never again. Room awful, food adequate and pool side packed put and could not enjoy. I know, you get what you pay for
Not for me Paul
Errrm not for me this Paul.xx
Hi Paul the hotel not for me didn’t like it Paul I won’t stay there any Paul 😮
No way I will be booking there! Not for me !
