before liveing to go on hoilday i was bit worried about the reviews we read on this hotel. when we arrived we were pleased to see that the rooms were basic but quite large and very clean( thats the main thing) the hotel location was a liitle bit out from the nightlife taxis cost all diffrent prices we paid between 5 and 7 euros for the same jorney. the food could of been a little better and more choice but the snack by the pool made up for this. entertainment at night was not good the hotel needs to spend more on this part and the room were the entertainment was held it was very hot and could do with aircon like the rooms could do with as it gets very very hot at night times but the day time activities run by baz and neil kept everyone busy with killerpool, killer darts ,vollyball, ect these two give %110 but overall a good hoilday and we would return again. thanx from john1 john2 gareth jenna nat clair tracy marg thanx again

We were pleasently surprised when we arrived at the hotel, having read some reviews before we left. The accommodation was basic but clean, we had a room overlooking the pool, which was nice and clean,it was washed down every morning. Most rooms had the same view as it was set out in a 'u'shape.
We went all inclusive which had only just started a few weeks before so they were still getting used to the english palate!! The food was good quality but served in some odd combinations lasagne and brussels!! I am sure they will sort it out as we found that as the week went on it got better after some complaints. The snack bar served food up until 10pm so you wont go hungry. The drinks were excellent help your self to lager and wine and fizzy drinks. Most local spirits served until 11pm.
The entertainment not very good just bingo and kareoke and a singer. Someone on our floor had a watch taken so beware and hire the safe in your room.

When we first arrived at the hotel there was a lot of building work going on as the hotel had just opened for the season, however after complaining to Dan the My Travel rep he took numerous steps to sort the problem and have the work stopped.
The rooms were clean although the bedding was only changed once a week which is not good enough. The hotel staff, Neil Barry, Steve Nat, James, Tommy, and all the others made our stay and our holiday worth every penny.
What a great team thay deserve a pay rise! well done to you all. Entertainment with Neil and Barry was really good but the singer knocks you to sleep!
We enjoyed our holiday so much we are returning this September with a group of five people we met whilst staying there.

We had 2 rooms both with pool views. The cleaners were very good they even washed up. Food not to bad hotel staff were very helpful. With self catering location ideal as supermarket just down road and 5 mins walk you have a plenty of places to eat. With good entertaiment on every night.

After reading good reports about Mar Ola 2 I thought it would be a good place to stay in, I was wrong! We were miles away from the main strip, so if you are young I wouldn't recommend staying here especially if you want all the good nightlife.
The pool was clean. We were asked to be quiet one night and we weren't making any noise at all we were just talking quietly. We spent most of our time in Mar Ola 1, Tommy is great I would recommend going just to see him! Food was OK. People were very noisy. I would recommend this hotel to anyone but family's because Mar Ola 2 is for drunken idiots who just want to cause trouble.

We got to Mar Ola 2 at about half three in the morning.
We got into our room it was boiling!
We went to rent a fan that did nothing.
The noise was terrible with people coming in,didn't get a wink of sleep that night!
Morning went down to the pool, there are always sunbeds,if there aren't you can use Mar Ola 1 (which is better), hi Tommy! He is great!
Food
The food is ok, don't get a breakfast from here. It was awful. Go to the Rover Return!
There are nice restaurants near by which are quite cheap.
Pool
Pool was fine, no complaints about that,always clean.
Staff
Some were friendly and some were miserable.Tommy from the bar in Mar Ola 1 is great!
Location
This is terrible, especially for younger people who want to be at Veronicas strip.
We thought it would be near even after reading the reviews.
But it isnt. I wouldn't advise staying here if you want to be there everyday.Taxis are cheap though.
There were a few robberies when we there, no sign anyone tried to get in, like marks on door! Money was going from safes even though you have your own code!
But if you do unplug it at the wall it resets itself! So its pointless! We thought it was the staff!
We had no robberies at all but people next door did!
The women underneath had a cockroach infestation on the ground floor!
Overall we had a good time but we wouldn't stay here again. We come to Tenerife but not here!

We found the Mar Ola 2 apartments to be an ideal base for our 2 week holiday, an easy walk into Playa La Vista, Playa De Las Americas and Los Cristianos.
The beach was about 5-10 mins walk away and the pool area was excellent.
Our only real complaint was that the pool wasn't very deep so you couldn't dive in but it would be great for kids.
We'd agree its a fair walk to the Veronicas area of town but there are loads of bars and restaurants between the apartments and Veronicas so its not like its a drag as you can have a few drinks on the way. There's a bus stop right outside the apartments which goes to Veronicas if you can't be bothered to walk and taxis fares were reasonable.

We visited Mar Ola in September 2006. Overall we had a great holiday. Mar ola is in a great place if you are a family but I wouldn't reccomend it to young people its too out the way! Be warned! Taxis are cheap but if you can't be bothered with that stay somewhere else! There were alot of robberies too! So you have been warned!
