We Arrived at the Hotel at 2215 hrs, The first thing the receptionist said was " Bad News - There is no Food for you !" Where a simple Hello and welcome may have been more appropriate after such a long journey. However we grabbed a quick drink before 11 o clock. The room was adequate but the noise was... more

I was a bit wary after reading the reviews but my fears were unfounded. Great value for money & a brilliant place to stay...have never been anywhere so friendly; thats other holiday makers & staff. Yes the food is a bit monotonous but there are a few bars/cafes around to break the boredom if you want a change. We had... more

Ok firstly, location very quiet but bus services outside hotel, means you can get out and about should you wish to do so... Food good, we never went hungry, have a wide variety of food, but very similar every day...not many desserts..but ice cream was available all day which was very nice.. All inclusive drinks were served until 11..we always... more

May 22nd to May29th Arrived about 8.45pm, informed that the Restaurant would be closing at 9.00, we foolishly thought that we could get a snack once we had unpacked...Wrong...no snacks???.The bar stopped serving free drinks after 11pm although you could still buy after that (2 for 1).. The room was clean, TV crap unless your American (CNN etc) or Spanish,... more

The merlin is very good value for money we booked on teletext holidays for 7 nights all inclusive. The transfer from airport to hotel was 30 minutes via the minibus. Our room was a decent size we could have paid an extra £20-£30 to get a double room. Before we came out to tenerife I had looked to find out... more
