We stay in this hotel during our honeymoon and we can say that was really excellent and a marvellous weak. The hotel is very quiet, but not to far from the important places you can visit in this part of Tenerife, Costa Adeje. You have a bus stop at the door of the hotel from when you can go to the beach, shopping centre, and other places. You can also go to the beaches walking, about 20 minutes.
The food in the hotel was simply great, and every day you could choose different types of food. The pool and jacuzzi were also great and we really enjoy all the moments we spend in the sun at this two places. The animation was good, and you can experience a lot of ways to do different things, like playing pool, tennis, ping-pong, et c.
We recommend this hotel for those who want a nice and quiet vacations.

8-22nd August 2008
4 Adults, two children aged 7 & 9.

Transfer: Last to be dropped off and first to be collected on the return. Took an hour, Airport clean, entertaining but expensive (3e for a small bottle of water).

Hotel: Very good English speaking receptionists. Good mixture of French, English, German, Dutch, Italian and Spanish. Great if you like to practice speaking to others in another language. Everyone seemed friendly enough and our children played with others all together regardless.

Rooms: Two pool-side rooms. Both had balcony's with "left hand" sea view. Balcony view was a bit untidy overlooking the tennis court and dried river bed. Rooms 3* basic, clean and well equipped. TV, hairdryer and ice cold fridge but no aircon and only basic cooking hob. Safe is available at a cost of apprx 40e plus 10e deposit. One room had a front window which we could open for a breeze, the other much larger room didn't but it was of to leave the front door open when you stayed in of an evening which we never did. Towels changed daily, bedding once a week. Excellent shower pressure, hot water all day and evening.

Pool: "Towel shift" started just before 8am. All sun beds had very comfortable PVC covered foam mats. There were enough to go round. It was just that we wanted our space just outside our rooms so the kids could go back when they wanted, still in our line of sight. One circular pool at 1.75m deep, a foot bridge then a larger pool. One end 1.75m the other to about 1.5m. Both children could stand up at this end. We had one day where the pool was closed because of chlorine levels but it wasn't a problem. Bar area served ice creams, prices between 1e 50c and 2e 80c.

Entertainment: In the bar area and by the pool most evenings plus during the day. Beer was 3e 30c. Belgium Entertainments organiser spoke at least 7 languages and his humour was very infectious. Would reco the place just because of him. Started with stretching at about 11am then went quiet during the afternoon as you would expect until about 3pm when he played water polo, "killer" darts, mini soccer etc. Even offered his own trips for sub aqua diving and quad biking at an additional cost.

Area: Turn right out of the hotel and you'll find a supermarket, English breakfast bar and an Italian pizza place. Breakfast was 4e for a full English. Walk another 250 yards and you hit 10 mainly fish restaurants in the local bay. No access to the beach. Very picturesque and prices to suit your budget whatever that may be. Turn left out of the hotel and walk towards Fanabe where all the main shops, bars and restaurants start and continue into Playa Pinta then into Playa USA. 40 minute walk with young children to Fanabe. 7e 50c for 6 of us using the 416 bus from outside the hotel or 7e per taxi. There are no child discounts but there is a travel card you can buy. Caleta beach was out of bounds when we went. Changing it from rocks to black sand. No construction noise heard whist at the hotel.

Prices much cheaper in Fanabe. Beer went down as low as 1e 20c for St Miguel namely in a Scottish bar called the Lock Ness where we ended up most nights before we went back to the hotel. Meals cost approx 6-10e for a main course wherever you went and most places offered a set menu. Plates were always full and we also had an Indian meal and a Chinese buffet during our stay. Again 6e 80c per person (Pig out time). Beach is clean, golden and good for the kids. Water isn't too rough because of the breakwaters further out. As I said it's about a 30 minute walk from the Jardin.

Overall: We will be back next year but will save money by staying more in Fanabe. Nothing wrong with the Jardin. Ideal for families but just a bit far out for us as we eat out every night.

Enjoyed our stay,was what we wanted quiet but handy enough to get into Americas by taxi,bus or a lovely walk along the sea front. I would go back. Breakfast good you can hire most things for your room e.g. toaster (you can go down at breakfast time and use the toaster there if your room not too far away),kettle,t.v.etc you get your deposit back on returning items.Staff helpful and pleasant, hotel clean,pools lovely a bit cold.overall had a good time at reasonable rates.

stayed here for a month in december the write ups we read were brill good childrens entertainment they said when we arrived very nice maids were brill very nice we have 2 young children so we opted for this because of the entertainment has people said it was good the entertainer was german disco was for half an hour and she only sang about 4 songs and that was it finished no games nothing the entertainment was rubbish same thing week in week out very quiet so if that is what you are looking for you are ok we used to walk every morning to torviscas along the beach which was a lovely walk and took us about 1 hour some of our family came and they were in laguna park 2 the entertainment there was very good but was up a very steep hill or 2 so we used to get a taxi there every night other wise our holiday would have been rubbish if you are thinking of going to these apartments and have children dont bother nothing for them 2 do and nothing in the area only 1 bar and 2 restaurants.
