I have booked El Medano for July this year for 4 days, The reviews are not what I expected. Please please someone tell me it is going to be fine. I am coming off a sailing course where I will be confined for the week with 4 others and will be looking for a bit of space before flying home.... More

We had one night here after a late flight. WE drove around, and around, and around for about 40 mins then realised that there is no direct vehicular access to this hotel, nor is there a dedicated drop off stop. Perhaps it was a school boy error on my part in the booking, but it wasn't a good start. We... More

Read the reviews before we went so were open minded and the hotel is a real find of a place and looks to be on the upward slope. We had fresh linen every day, fresh towels and soaps and bizarelly tooth brushes and paste and a comb also. Staff were superb and very friendly with out being overbearing and soon... More

This hotel is ideal if you are arriving in the Airport late at night and want to get a room nearby. The resort is very spanish and not spoilt. The hotel is clean and the food is good. It is on the beach and less than 10 mins taxi from the Airport.

This hotel is very basic for the price.100 euros for one night bed and breakfast should get you more. Stayed one week, the cleaners only left soap once.The cleaning left a lot to be desired ,actually timed them one day 7 minutes to clean, says it all.That was how petty it became.The furniture and decor resemble a school dormitory.

Essentially ok and some staff were friendly and helpful, but I would expect both service and maintenance to be very good in a hotel like this on Tenerife. A lot of effort was made to provide a nice New Year's Eve party, but I could not help getting the nagging impression that management are only in it for the money.... More

Friendly staff don't make up for no kettle, no remote for TV, no air con, terrible breakfast, awful bathroom, towels not fit for a car boot sale, and no bar open on a Sunday night! The hotel is in a great location but it is tatty and obviously lacking resources. 88 euros for a seaview is taking a liberty.

Was nice clean hotel, bit on the old fashioned side. no kettle or air con. Rather expensive to upgrade to sea view but worth it. Food hall is really that, more like a canteen. Not especially good, but there was something for every-one. We stayed in August for a week, was a quiet area, mostly locals. Need a car to... More
