"I stayed at Sol Tenerife for the second time from 20th January to 5th February this year, and once again, I had a wonderful holiday overall.
First and foremost, I cannot praise the entertainment team highly enough. Daniel, Noemi, Nadia and David are truly exceptional at what they do. They are the biggest asset to this hotel. They are knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and completely professional and consistently positive at all times. The fitness classes are fantastic, with a great variety on offer to suit different abilities and interests. I particularly love that many of the classes take place in the garden area – it creates such a calm, retreat-like atmosphere that makes the sessions even more enjoyable. The team bring such positive energy to everything they do; they are upbeat, motivating, and always manage to put a smile on your face and lift your mood no matter how you’re feeling. They are genuinely the heart of the hotel and a huge reason I continue to return. Their energy and enthusiasm enhance the guest experience.
The evening entertainment is also diverse and enjoyable and well worth staying in the hotel in the evening to watch and get involved in.
The bar and restaurant staff are also excellent - welcoming, attentive and always happy to help.
During my stay, I unfortunately had an issue in the restaurant with another holidaymaker who would not leave me alone. A special mention to Alberto, the waiter from the restaurant, who handled the difficult situation quickly and professionally, ensuring I felt safe and supported. I was incredibly grateful for how seriously he took my concerns and how promptly he resolved the matter, he handled the situation with outstanding professionalism. His response was exemplary and made me feel safe and supported, which means a great deal when you are away from home.
In terms of the hotel itself, there are areas that would benefit from a cosmetic upgrade, particularly around the pool where some of the paintwork is beginning to deteriorate. However, this did not prevent me from enjoying my stay, and I would not describe it as a bad hotel at all.
Unfortunately, my experience with the reception staff was disappointing. I had a significant issue with my room, as dirty toilet water was leaking onto the bathroom floor. Despite reporting this three separate times, I was not offered a room change and felt my concerns were not taken seriously. I ultimately had to go through Jet2 to have the situation resolved. This was frustrating and disappointing, especially as the rest of the hotel staff are so attentive and professional.
I would give the entertainment team and bar staff 5 stars for my experience I have had and genuinely cannot praise them enough. However, it is a shame that the front of house experience lets the hotel down. Front-of-house staff are the first point of contact for guests, and in this instance, they failed to provide an acceptable level of service.
That said, the hotel is in a fantastic seafront location and I’ve never had any issues despite Veronica’s being next door. Overall, it’s a great hotel, and in particular, thanks largely to the incredible entertainment team, they are the reason I continue to book this hotel. I have already booked my next two holidays here and genuinely cannot wait to return."
