"Service, cleanliness, location, and the overall look of the hotel – 10/10!
Food
If someone complains about the food at this hotel, I honestly don’t know what they eat at home on a daily basis or what more they could possibly expect. The meals were fresh and varied, there was a great selection, and what impressed me most was the huge number of vegan and vegetarian options.
Vegans here are definitely not limited to fries and salad, as every day you can find things like plant-based milk, soy yoghurt, vegan mayonnaise, tofu, oyster mushrooms, seitan, vegan “minced meat”, plant-based “chicken” and many other options. Meat lovers, as well as fans of fish and seafood, also had plenty to choose from. It’s really hard to go hungry here — unless salmon and caviar for breakfast, octopus for lunch and shrimp for dinner still aren’t enough for you…
Pool
In mid-September, there was absolutely no problem finding a sun lounger — in fact, it was almost difficult to decide which one to choose :) I would only give a small minus for the fact that the loungers cannot be reclined completely flat.
I mostly used the blue pool because it was larger and you could comfortably swim there. The water temperature was perfect.
I would also give a small minus for the fact that there is no music playing at the blue pool, while at the green pool the music is sometimes so loud that it would be difficult to spend much time there.
Room
I had a suite in Building E with a beautiful view of the golf course. Although the room itself had not been renovated, I didn’t notice any actual drawbacks. It was huge and spacious, with a large bathroom, a kitchenette and a comfortable bed. It was cleaned every day and our towels were replaced regularly.
The only thing I would complain about is the air conditioning. Ours worked well and cooled the room properly, but it was incredibly loud. During the first few nights, I kept waking up because it sounded like a washing machine during the spin cycle. After a few days, I got used to the noise.
Children at the hotel
If you usually choose adults-only hotels, you’ll be happy to know that there aren’t many children at Marylanza outside the peak season, so their presence isn’t bothersome at all.
Reception
The hotel lobby itself is exceptionally beautiful and elegant, but unfortunately, the air conditioning in this area simply cannot keep up, so it feels very stuffy there throughout the day.
Overall impressions
If I ever return to Tenerife, I would seriously consider staying at Marylanza again. I normally don’t return to the same hotel twice, but I felt exceptionally comfortable here.
If I really had to look for some negatives, I think the thing that bothered me the most was… the hotel’s plastic neon wristbands. Because of their intense colour, they often ruined my holiday photos or outfits, and on top of that, the edges were quite sharp, so it was easy to accidentally scratch yourself with them or catch them on delicate clothing."
