Princess Inspire Teneriffa

"The first time staying at this hotel and found the location absolutely spot on for what my partner and myself were hoping for. All the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as great as it was, from bar staff, daily activity staff, night entertainment staff, restaurant staff and not forgetting the forgiving cleaning staff. During our stay we met many new friends and hope to keep in touch and thats all thanks to Princess Inspire Hotel. I would honestly recommend staying at the Hotel Inspire and i hope to return ASAP because i dont want tk leave. XXX"

"Overall a lovely hotel. Reception - welcomed by Christian - fab, smiley and bubbly, helpful and caring. Frederika - massively needs some feedback on customer service and attitude. Everything seemed like too much trouble. Short and quick information shared to try and get you away from the desk (when no one was waiting and more information would be helpful). I experienced this at least 3 times with her. Restaurant - I’m vegetarian and sadly unless salads are your main choice (or pizza) then there’s very little ‘protein’. It would pay the hotel to ask a veggie to help design selections. More cheese (paneer, halloumi, feta) and plain boiled eggs. I asked for the boiled eggs - they were served with smeared tuna?! I do not eat fish. The chef said - I can do salmon…not helpful. Could be language barrier? I was glad I’d booked half board and after a feedback conversation with a kind receptionist - he sorted it so I could switch to lunch in the hotel ( I could live with salad lunch each day) & I ventured out to the many restaurants which happily catered to my needs. Next time I’d go B&B. Hotel Facilities - excellent exercise with the stairs! Certainly get your steps in! The big pool suited me, I like to swim lengths and it is a huge benefit when a nice pool is in place. Sun beds - worked well via the app. Spa - I paid the €20 for 2 hours but felt a bit ripped off - you just get access to a sauna, steam room, the 3 jet places in the slim outdoor pool and that’s it. If it’d been €10 that would have been a fairer ROI. Activity hosts - I joined the pool Zumba and both the female teachers were full of energy ( the one had to keep going and pressing play for every song as the sound system was broken- needs a quick sort). The man was woeful, he clearly didn’t enjoy the aqua gym and did less than 15 minutes!! Lots of people moaned about that! Cleanliness - overall the hotel was kept clean. My room was not always refreshed to standard - though the sign “room cleaned” was always placed on the bed! (I think they’d hope I’d be fooled). My balcony was not cleaned the whole week - I know this as there was a dead cockroach (the only one I saw to be fair) on the balcony all week! I would stay again but I would make it on my terms. My tip would also be to head to Pink Lady spa for a massage - the guy there is very professional and it was such a great massage I returned again! The massage was back neck and shoulder, 30 mins for €25. Cheaper than the hotel and less than 3 minute walk on the road out the hotel turn left, cross the crossing and go straight ahead."

"The hotel is absolutely stunning literally could find a fault from the look of the hotel. The rooms were some of the best I’ve ever stayed at however the air conditioning was lass than sub par at no point on the holiday was the room cool it just stopped it getting hotter depute being on the coldest setting. The location is a 5 min walk from the sea front and within a good distance of restaurants and bars around but it is a relatively steep hill to and from the beach front. We went all inclusive which I would not do again with this hotel and some of the drinks and snacks … weren’t included like a koppaberg wasn’t included, spirits were and some other beers and cider but if I’m paying as much as we did for all inclusive I would expect it to be all included as well bar snacks weren’t included and the buffet had some alright bits and some less than alright bits, they did have a seafood only night which was slightly frustrating as I am not a fan of sea food but that’s a personal preference but it’s like they tried to do some spanish/ canarian food and some English foods u would typically find at a buffet but because they were trying to do both well the didn’t succeed in either so I would say value for money room only 10000% but all inclusive definitely not. The rooms and hotel were kept to a very clean level and noise was non existent in the hotel room bar the evening entertainment. The only real grievance I have is the staff some were excellent like the server Kevin however others not so much for example one of the bar staff who had served me and my partner all night tried flirting with her multiple times to give and extra shot (keep in mind we were all inclusive) which was very unprofessional and left a bitter taste in our mouths because he tried multiple times despite having one seen us together the night he was on and after my partner had rejected his advances multiple times. Another service issue was when me and my partner used the pool facilities we forgot our towels which was completely our fault however when I went to get the outdoor bar staff attention to possibly ask reception for a towel to be brought to us at some point while I waited near the entrance he shooed me away and only after another 10 mins did he ask what I wanted to which he rolled his eyes and said “it’s not our job” which I fully appreciated however it would have been a safety risk to other guests to go inside the hotel while wet due to the flooring they have it would’ve become extremely slippery, the bar staff member then reluctantly asked someone to go to reception and she came back with towels with a smile and was very friendly so overall I would say the only faults I would say with the hotel is some of the staff members being unprofessional or being very blunt but if you just go to the hotel for the room and facilities (provided you remember your towel haha) it is definitely worth it"
