Hotels Near Playa De Los Roques in Los Realejos

What fantastic apartments, ours was a standard , which was huge. With a large balcony overlooking playa de las Roques. Traditional Spanish style, with an AEG oven and hob and full size fridge freezer. Oh and 5 piece Roca bathroom . The staff are really friendly and helpful. It was very quiet, I would guess it was about a third full. The gardens have lots of plants and trees, there is a fish pond, a terrapin pond, and a good size Cesar Manrique inspired swimming pool . Being built onto the cliffs there are some steps down to the apartments, there is a lift from the reception area though. It is a bit tricky to find, The roads are narrow and very steep, with a lot of one ways, drive carefully ! The town of Toscal has plenty of restaurants and bars, it is very much a Spanish area, don't expect English Pub or anything like that. It is a little cooler on this side of the island, but still sunbathing in October. This is an excellent location for exploring this side of the island, The town of La Orotava , The Anaga Mountains and of course mount Teide. The capital Santa Cruz is great to walk round, lots going on, lovely. We went on Sundays, less traffic and easier to park. I would say, you really need a car. Focus absolutely on the road, road markings and speed limits. Learning a little Spanish would really help, this is not a British tourist area. Would we go again ? Yes absolutely it was a great holiday !

If you're a wheelchair user, please make sure to let the hotel know with plenty of notice. I use a wheelchair that doesn't fold and I couldn't get into my room without taking the wheels off as there's a wardrobe immediately as you enter the room. Fortunately, I am able to walk and only use my chair for longer distances.l, but for others, this could be a real issue. We stayed in that room for one night and they were happy enough to swap me into a different room in the morning. That first night was awful. There were concerning dips in the floor and the noise from being next to the ocean was so loud, plus the wind rattles the windows, it sounded like I was lost at sea. The receptionist was lovely and upgraded us to a family room, no issues, though I hope for the sake of others that there are double rooms available that are more accessible, not just family rooms. The family room was luckily on the other side, so it was totally silent. The breakfasts were quite stale and the milk for the cereal was warm so stuck with the crepes every morning. We did have dinner here one evening but unfortunately, when I got to the dessert stand, there was a cockroach crawling on the food. They were very apologetic and gave both of us a glass of wine as an apology, but then still had to pay full price on the meals. Fortunately, we did bring an extension cord as there weren't many sockets and not all of them even worked. There were no ceiling lights, just plug in lamps, which made it quite dim at night. The pool is barely heated but it takes a few seconds for your body to acclimatise. The mattress is quite firm and I found the pillows were far too high. Also beware that the hotel is on a VERY steep hill. Luckily, I can actually walk quite well in hot weather but I was definitely out of breath when I got from the bottom of the hill to the hotel. The WiFi is awful and I ended up just using my data. The zoo is well worth visiting though and it's a very short distance away. As you come into the hotel, it's got a huge lovely lobby which was lovely to sit in, so it really surprised me how poor everything else was. I have no ill intentions and the staff were lovely but I have to be honest.

The restaurant staff is extremely disrespectful and disgraceful to hotel guests! They embarrass you in front of other guests. I tried my best to manage well with my two little kids (8 and 6) and a 75 years old mother, but they did everything to make our holiday a very experience at the hotel! Their way of speaking and behaving (showing fingers while speaking to you all the time) is completely wrong. They have absolutely no understanding for the situation. The made a hell for us. We will NEVER go back and I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Even my little kids noticed clearly that restaurant staff were extremely unfriendly. We have been to Spain in different parts and never, NEVER, seen behaviour like this. Shame!!! One example: My little daughter (6 years old) needed to go to the wc in the middle of our dining. I, of course, had no choice but to take her to the wc. When we came back, the restaurant staff had already taken away our food and all the plates, water and wine from our table. We thought ok, maybe they guessed that we were gone for the evening. So we took food again from the buffet and sat on a new table. They came to us and told us harshly to leave, and told us we were not allowed to eat again because we were only allowed to enter the buffet restaurant once! For heavens sake what is this kind of treatment. They embarrass you in front of other guests. DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!! The view from our room on the 7th floor was amazing, though. Room: 2/5 View: 5/5 Pool: 2/5 Pool bar:1/5 (dead) Food: 2/5 Friendliness: 0/5 Recommend?: No!

The hotel was clean and tidy. Rooms are spacious with a separate bedroom. Kitchen has few utensils and pans and kettles so basic foods can be cooked. Balconies have two chairs and a table. Be aware that the balcony floor is very slippery when wet. Building D next to the road can be a bit noisy at times, trash truck beeping early in the morning etc. Hotel has a minimarket with mostly sandwiches, chocolate bars, beer and wine. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok, lots of fruit, bread and cereal but not much meat. Same goes with the dinner. Don't trust Google maps, there's no easy route to Puerto de la Cruz centrum. The area surrounding the hotel is steep hills to every direction. Sidewalks are narrow if they exist at all. Nearest grocery stores are closer to 10 minute walk away. Few restaurants are nearby. There is one hotel next to this one but otherwise the neighbourhood is fully inhabited by locals. We enjoyed our stay a lot though we found out that the only viable way to travel between the hotel and Puerto de la Cruz was taxi.

Visited 18th March and had quite low expectations due to a disappointing holiday at a similar star hotel in Turkey. Although it was a look little tricky to find after leaving the transfer bus but once we were in, the receptionist was very helpful and arrived whilst dinner was still available. Room: Small but very clean and comfortable beds. Everything worked with a decent sized tv too. Facilities: All of the sun loungers looked brand new and the pool was clean and clean poolside loos. Food: For the price we have no complaints with the breakfast and dinner on offer. The bar was a little bit hot and miss but no issue really. Staff: Friendly and helpful. Location: A good 20 mins steep walk to and from the town but we found a local bus route just behind the hotel for a couple of euro on the centre of puerto. Summary: For a 2 star hotel this is excellent. Expected a lot less than we received and very happy with it.
