Having read the previous reports on unfriendly staff, I am please to report that they must have been re-trained!

All staff were helpful and friendly (alright, there was one breakfast waiter with a bad attitude)The Hotel is immaculately clean, pool area pleasant - be warned there are several who like to reserve beds as early as 6am - leave it till 9.30 and you probably won't get one.

Food was served buffet style and was varied and up to 4 star standard. The pool is in fact salt water (not something I had noted prior to arrival)It is worth upgrading to a room with apool view as those without do not have the nicest of views over the car park or shopping centre.

All in all we would definately stay again.

I was looking forward to visiting this hotel after reading the positive reviews and on first glance was pleased.

The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated with everything co ordinated. The bathroom was nicely tiled and a decent size.

However after 10 minutes my daughter noticed something on the floor which turned out to be a cockroach!! After panicking we settled down to sleep. I woke at 7.30 am to find another crawling up the wall - not very nice. I reported it to reception who said that they had a problem on the island (which i knew anyway) and they had a firm in the spray but I dont know how often. The only advice that they gave was to keep the patio door closed as they can fly in!

In the main reception areas cleaning was through and regular. However I think more attention should be paid to the pool area as dishes were left from the day before and some areas were quite grubby. This should not occur in a 4* hotel.


Dinner was hit and miss. Please note that if you are fussy about what you eat you may find it quite hard. The potatoes were quite hard and tasteless. Salads were ok which my husband isnt a big lover of so he struggled to find something especially on themed nights which take place on a Friday, Tuesday and a Sunday. On the Spanish night one of the dishes on the menu was tripe!!! Chips are not served every night and there is no childrens section. I was not impressed with the food at all.

Entertainment was awful. Most nights they have a duo on who sing basically the same songs night after night. At 10pm they have clowns samba dancing, a parrot show. I didnt see all acts but waht I did see wasnt up to much.
Drinks were expensive. In the bar in the evening soft drinks were 2 Euro 10 (A small glass). By the pool bar a soft drink was 3 Euro 40 for a medium. This can work out very expensive if you have a few children.

All in all I was disappointed with my stay at La Siesta and was glad to come home. I went expecting perfection and was I got was average. I expected a lot more for my money.

We were very impressed when we arrived in the hotel room, with the size of the beds, the room, and the bathroom facilities. The room was cleaned to a good standard every day. after one late night out we put out the do not disturb sign and had a call later in the day to see if we wanted the room cleaned.

We have stayed in many foreign hotels on a half board basis and were very impressed with the choice and availability of the food (and it was hot)! Sometimes there was queue for tables.

The hotel was ideally located for shopping, restaurants and the beach.

The staff were friendly, however if you cant find a sun bed (because they are all covered with towels) dont expect the staff to help. Some of the sun beds have towels and no people on them until lunch time and gone! So we joined in and reserved ours as well!
Despite this I would return to La siesta in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed in the La Siesta and what a shame you couldn't turn back the clock 10 years to our last stay.

The rooms are lovely, but we had a very poor maid who changed the towels and bedding, but didn't clean the room and by the end of the first week it was covered in dust!!! Not good for the Asthma.

The food was very poor and not of the standard of 10 years ago. We found whatever meat was on offer one night got stewed the next. Bacon was always burnt at breakfast and you were only allowed one egg and had to que again for another.

The location was great with all we wanted around us plenty of shops and nightlife.

The hotel staff were ok but word of warning do check your bill at the end of the holiday for drinks, minibar and safety deposit box, just make sure they refund you the deposit!!!!!!

The entertainment in the hotel wasn't that great but we did spend most of our time out of the hotel.

We will not be going back to the hotel again.

We have just returned from a weeks holiday in Las Americas staying at the La Siesta Hotel definitely one of the best hotels we have stayed in abroad so far. It was very close to the beach, shops and nightlife.

The food was excellent we stayed on a half board basis and there was plenty of choice - whether you were a vegitarian or a meat eater.

The standard of hygiene throughout the hotel was above average - with very friendly staff.

The hotel provided entertainment on a nightly basis we saw 3 of the shows which we enjoyed very much.

We would definitely stay in the same hotel again and would recommend it to our friends.

Stayed half board at La Siesta 12th to 19th May and it was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is kept spotlessly clean at all times, including all communal areas, the pools and each room.

We were on the ground floor and had a lovely patio area with plants and two sun loungers. The room we stayed in was lovely and spacious with very nice decor and the air conditioning was so good that on a couple of occasions we had to turn it off because our room was too cold!

The reception staff were very polite and helpful even on the really busy days when loads of people were arriving and departing.

The restaurant staff worked really hard to clear tables quickly and keep lots of food on hand at all times. I have no complaints about the food whatsoever. There was always more than enough choice, the food was always hot and fresh and there were special food evenings - traditional Canarian, Italian and a barbecue - but even on these evenings there were lots of alternative food options.

We only saw a tiny bit of the entertainment because most evenings we went out but what we did see looked to be okay. The bar where the entertainment was held is very nice and really reasonably priced.

The hotel is really nicely located with easy access to the beach and lots and lots of shops. There are a few nice bars within two or three minutes walk too and they cater to most tastes. There's even a real English chippy just down the road too!!!

All in all this is a fabulous hotel in a lovely location with great staff in place. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone at all and would love to go back at some point.

After reading the last few reports was really worried needlessly as it turned out.

Beautiful hotel spotlessly clean and such friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you.Lovely room overlooking pool which is a must,I wouldn't like to have been in one of the outer rooms because of the view.

Food was really tasty and well prepared although I must say you had to be there early or queue for a table entertainment not up to much unless you were under 5yrs old.

All in all a fantastic holiday and would definitely return to the La Siesta.

We too had read some poor reviews of this hotel but we were very pleased overall with overall standards.

We unfortunately got off to a bad start when arrived because the hotel was full and we had to stay in another 4* hotel for the 1st night. Some friends of ours experienced same last year! They did however compensate by giving us a suite and full board.

We have stayed at several Hotels/apartments in Las Americas and apart from the initial set back and somewhat unfriendly staff we would return there.

Stayed in this hotel for a week, exceptionally clean and well maintained, maid service every day. Really nice hotel and pool area.

Would not stay at this hotel again due to the service and food quality in the restaurant, it was under staffed and you had to queue every evening unless you wanted to eat about 9pm (with 2 children age 8 and 12 thats a little late!) After the 4th night we ate elsewhere.

The food was of a poor standard and not enough choice of vegetables etc, for example boiled potatoes or chips every night, just one cooking area which was not big enough for the size of hotel. I would definately rate the food as a 2** rather than 4**.

Staff made you feel like you were staying at Tenko.

No lilos, no ball games, no noise. We went for fun but were frightened to make a noise. Lifeguards felt like security guards.

Food was buffet style but very good.

Staff slow and not at all helpful.
