We knew when we booked that the resort was very quiet and there was alot of building work going on but didn't quite expect the extent of this. The majority of vehicles were either buses or cement mixers and although it wasn't particlulary noisy it was an eye sore and not an attractive place to stay.
It's hard pushed to be called a resort, with only a few bars and shops, although there is a very good supermarket across the road. Unfortunately for us, it was their very quiet time and half the bars that were there were shut, so maybe there is a little more entertainment there than we could comment on in high season.
There is only a tiny, shingly, beach. We did go on this a couple of times and there were a lot of fish to be seen, although it was dirty and alot of broken glass around so you would need to keep your feet covered.
We spent most days taking local buses to neightbouring resorts and beaches as it was much too quiet for us, despite only having young children and the beaches particularly at puerto Colon and Las Vistas were lovely.
Some people rarely left the hotel though, so if you want total relaxation and don't mind an unattractive appearance, or better still you like to crane spot you may like Playa Paraiso. For us though, it was far too quiet and unattractive.

No beach, lago lido needs an update floors very rough on bare feet. Yes its cold, but there were people swimming in it. We managed up to our ankles in the kids section!
Buses very good going to Playa de las Americas on the opposite side of road to hotel, Los Gigantes on hotel side of road. No queing system, just get on it asap!
TRIPS WITH THOMSON
Went up to Teide, too cloudy for cable cars, good trip, also did Loro Parque with Thomsons and had a lovely time.
INDIVIDUAL TRIPS
Went to, Puerto Colon and got a boat ride with a company called SKYLINE. There were the freebird guys selling but they were so crowded it lokked packed. There was only the 4 of us on the SKYLINE and it was fabulous. Free drinks and a sandwich each, we saw dolphins and the whales, well worth the money.
Very safe(even though the Freebird boat people were insisting they were the safest, with a boat full of people) Our daugter was very safe and we all had a great time. Glad we did that trip as the we approached the guy in the office about the trip, he was not pushy and did not insist on a deposit like some other companies down there. His name was Stuart,he gave us his card and he remembered us when we went back a couple of days later.
Some trip sellers down there were really in your face, trying to get you to sign up to their trips, would recommend skyline company 100 per cent.
Building work is going on, they arrived at around 6.30am and finished at around 5pm. Little bit of noise but did not spoil holiday, everywhere you go there is a bit of building.
The resort has potential, it just is not there yet.
Always taxis outside which are reasonable.
This is just our opininion of our experience, you may have a totally different experience.

Playa Paraiso is a tiny resort about 15km away from the bright lights of Playa De Las Americas. The resort is basically one street comprising of 4 hotels, although there is a lot of work going on and the resort is growing. Strangely, although the resort seems to have grown in the 7 years since we last visited, it didn’t seem anywhere near as busy, though this could have been due to the time of year.
There are some shops in the resort, a couple of supermarkets (the supermarket Felipe being the best/cheapest by some distance), a few electrical shops (I don’t recommend buying ANY electrical items from these shops as the owners will rip you off given half a chance, a particular favourite being the copied gameboy cartridges containing multiple games they buy from Japan for a few dollars and sell to the mums and dads for £40-£50) and some basic touristy type shops. There are also a few restaurants and bars, including a Chinese restaurant and the obligatory Karaoke bar.
Aside from shops/bars, there is also a freshwater Lido (not used it myself so cannot really comment) but, alas, no beach.
Whether or not you will enjoy staying in the resort is, of course, down to personal preference. Some will find it relaxing to be isolated, others will find it boring. Personally I couldn’t stay in the resort for longer than a week

The resort is still being developed so there was building work going onon many new hotels, however this did not disturbe my holiday all. There where enough shops, restaurants and bars to get by but this is not the type of resort for varied Entertainment. Still, it is a lovely place and can't wait to return!

Difficult to say much on Playa Paraiso as we didnt do a lot in the resort itself being on a all-inclusive holiday.
Very tiny beach, but excellent Lido.
Would go again as like quieter places.
