Sol Tenerife

"We stayed here mid February with my mum for her 60th birthday. I dont normally write reviews but felt I had to share my experience. To be very truthful, I read the reviews and was very close to paying extra and changing hotels, I even emailed Easyjet to see if this would be possible. I am so glad we didn't! When the coach pulled up to drop us off, I thought we must of been in the wrong place! The reception area was clean and spacious with a clear view of a great pool area & the beach. The reception staff were very friendly & welcoming. We stayed in Block A room 303 and I was pleasantly surprised with the room too, it was clean, big enough and not half as dated as I prepared myself it to be! It's definitely not newly renovated and could do with an update, but my understanding is that that is in the pipeline. Due to the reviews, as soon as we got in, we checked the bed for bugs, we stripped both beds just to be sure and found no evidence of anything, nor were either of us bit. The bathroom was very big with the option of a shower or bath. We stayed half board and the food was great. I'm a vegetarian and had so many healthy options, I didn't see any cross contamination with utensils either. All food was labelled clearly so I could tell what I was eating. They had a selection of different milks for tea and cereal too, dairy, oat etc. The hotel is right on the beach front & the pool is very well maintained. We had no issues at all with the noise at night, you can hear music but it sounded distant and with the TV on we couldn't hear hardly anything. There's also English channels in the TV. There's a reasonably price shop attached to the hotel, they give you sugar for free too which is nice:) Definitely bring an extension lead, I did and was glad of it. They do sell them in the hotel shop too though. Sol Tenerife exceeded my expectations & I would recommend this hotel & hope to come back soon"

"Good hotel. Close to local amenities. Friendly staff. Only gripe is the noise. We were right across from Leonardo's bar and they are LOUD. I had earplugs and still struggled. Apart from that nice hotel. A couple of Spanish women stole my sunbed on day 1 which personally annoyed me but it is what it is. If you want peace and quiet don't book here."

"For the cost of the holiday this was a superb choice of hotel. Location great - easy to take or leave the nightlife and easy to walk elsewhere. Food was great - always a great choice …and 100% value for money. Wide range of drinks and great choice on all inclusive. Entertainment team worked hard and were fab, waiting staff in restaurants and behind bar were great and worked hard dll day long. Evening entertainment was absolutely nothing to grumble about. I would visit again without hesitation."
