Not the worst timeshare I have encountered but certainly not the best. We were allocated a 2 bed apartment overlooking the sea for our stay. The apartment was large and considering we were overlooking the main road, it was fairly quiet. Although, considering this resort is marketed as a "Gold Crown resort" the apartment lacked many of the items I would have expected e.g. Diswasher, TV in the bedroom and the air con is only switched on from 12:00 to 15:00 and 18:00 to 01:00.

After our first day in the resort we reported 3 issues with our apartment: Toilet didn't flush, the shower leaked and the toaster kept blowing the fuse. After several visits from the resort representative (Resort Properties sales man) and several visits to reception, I finally lost my cool and asked to speak to the on-call manager. This did result in all the issues being addressed but only on the 6 night of our 7 night holiday.

The pool area at the resort is fairly small and does become cramped at peak times. Also, the main pool and child pool are very cold, useful for cooling off but not confortable enough to stay in for hours. The other facilities are limited; the bar is only open for food from 10:00 to 16:30 and then completely closes at 18:00.

I have owned a timeshare now for 7 years so I am well aware of the approach used by these resorts. At the heights, you will recieve a visit from a very friendly resort representative, who will enquiry if the resort is meeting your needs and whether you require any further information on the resort or what trips are available on Tenerife.

This person will then ask all the adults and their children to attend a informal meeting at their offices just down from the Heights resort. Surprisingly, this person has no interest in your holiday and is only trying to sell the resort properties very impressive new holiday club. Yes, it is impressive but it would need to be as it costs £25K up front and £380 per year just for 1 week in any of their 5 resorts.

Unless you have money to burn or it is an obligation of your holiday to attend, I suggest you decline their kind offer and get back to enjoying your holiday. If you do have to attend (like Go canaries customers) then I suggest you perform a search on Crimeshare for resort properties. There is enough horror stories on this site to make saying no very easy.

In summary, this is a good 3 star resort (not 5 star as advertised) in a good location with comfortable and clean accommodation. It's lack of facilities is covered by its sister resorts but the constant hassle from holiday club (timeshare) salesman can get on your nerves. Remember, show no interest, sign nothing and keep saying no.

I stayed at the Beverley Hills Heights with my family (inc grandparents and children). Our appartment was a 2 bed apartment which overlooked the bar (which could be really noisy especially when the maids arrive for work and hose everything down at 8.00 am). The accomodation was basic - no dishwasher and no washing machines, no coffee makers, one hair dryer. But it was clean. The pools are very deep, and you are able to use the pools in other blocks ie Mirage (big pool but squashed around it like sardines) or the club pool which is tiny but has a shallow end.

The kids liked the kids club and entertainment. In the evening there is a kids disco which links up with happy hour in the bar upstairs and then it is followed by a guy called Kevin doing caberet - a bit working mans club type. Very English! The children had an area called the Croco Swamp to play in - which could get a bit rough but they enjoyed it.

The whole resort is on a huge hill - mega steps everywhere - can be really hard work and my parents found this a pain! You need to get a bus to the beach which takes about 10 mins and is again very difficult when you are tired and hot with irritable children. The beach was ok, sandy, fairly clean, although the surrounding area at the beach is filthy. Every day they were broken bottles which were never cleaned up. We found broken glass on the beach.

The sunbed problem at the pool was terrible -no way near enough beds. Staff were nice and helpful. Probably would not return - too many little things that made it not perfect really.......

Stayed at the resort over Easter Weekend 2005 in room J604 which was on the second floor facing the coast and overlooking the Beverly Hills Club. The resort is certainly clean and of a very good standard throughout. The amenities are also good, although the pool isn't heated and for young children is a bit too cold even at midday. The only problem that we encountered really was that the air conditioning didn't work. It did blow air through the vents but unfortunatly not cold enough to call air conditioned. The reception said it was only switched on at certain times of the day. But we never actually felt it working. Although this is compensated by the large balcony in which too cool down. We certainly would recommend this resort to all. Just beware of the timeshare people. A firm no always works. The resort is located at the top of a hill which is a pleasant walk into town but is a struggle to walk back up particularly after a meal and plenty of drink. Taxis are easily found and for a couple of euros are well worth it. The Bella Roma restaurant located right outside the main entrance is good for a take away pizza, but on our visit for a meal found the staff slow and the meal mediocre.The restaurants we would recommend would have to be 'Tuscany's Steak and Pizzeria','Linares' and the 'Miramar' restaurants in Los Cristianos which are excellent for steak, fish and of course pizza.

This was a first class holiday in first class accomodation apart from the air conditioning which was fitted but not working, and no matter how much you twiddle the dial it wont come on. The accomodation was clean spacious and quiet. The food in all the bars was excellent and catered for all our needs eg teenagers,vegetarians and children under six! The swimming pool was supervised by a life guard until six o'clock who also provided entertainment for the kids and good looks for all us poor mums! The free bus trips down to the beach were appreciated and were on time and SAFE.This was one of the best holidays we have been on in Tenerife and we have done a fair number.You have got to try ALL the surrounding hotels for a change of scene and they are all related to one another, there is a different atmosphere at each.The kids club, sports centre, ball pool and the CrazyHorse saloon are also all worth a visit .We are now trying desperately to get accomodation there again for next year
