The hotel's standard's of cleanliness didn't even impress the cockroaches as they died of the hotels dirt fumes! The pigeon's used the place as a toilet.
Steer clear of the pool or you'll lose your feet as they will be covered in muck at the bottom mainly due to the pool not being filtered!!!!
The food was freezing and nothing else to say about it apart from it tasting diabolic!!
The location was fine close to SOME bars and shops and fairly close to the beach front!
The staff didn't have anything to do with us, never even smiled, just frowned all day.
The entertainment was fine different acts on every night but please if you have any sense don't watch their own shows as you nearly die of embarrassment from watching them as they can hardly sing, dance or act.
None of my family really enjoyed this holiday. Down stairs there is a disco but is invaded by rowdy teenagers and you don't wanna know what they are getting up to.
This hotel isn't a 3 star I'm surprised it was given 1!!!

had a great holiday here ,this hotel is very decieving from the outside it look,well old! But really its great.Foods great,service in hotels great,we loved it.kids thought it was brill,they even have playstations 2 in the games area for kids.If i was going back to tenerife i wouldnt hesitate about staying there.Dont let the brochure picture put you off.
The only negative is SUNBEDS!its like the january sales rushing out when they open the doors to the pool area at 8.30.Everyone turns into the devil running for the sunbeds,grabbing and pushing! all i can say is good luck!

It's nearly a year since we visited the hotel and after reading through all the recent reviews, it really has us wishing we were going again this year! Okay...i'm sure that there are hotels with much better food quality, decor and what not but in my opinion most lack that warm friendly atmosphere the princesa dacil excelled in! The majority of the staff were fantastic and always went out of there way to help.. particularly the entertainment team who were absolutely superb!! I actually prefered there shows as a pose to the professional shows. There enthusiasm for pleasing the guests is far beyond excellent, they made an effort to get to know all the guests (which in my opinion goes way beyond the call of duty)even those that didn't take part in activities (We tended to steer well clear from audience participation) They really did make our stay!
As a very fussy eater I didn't really take much notice of the restaurant food but in my families opinion.. they tended to serve 'typically british' food- chips, meat, stews, greasy fry ups- all the things the foreign naively think we'll lap up.
Cleanliness in the hotel was more than satisfactory in most areas, lacking slightly in the restaurant though.
The location of the hotel couldn't be better- just a short walk away from Los Cristianos but quite a distance from Playa, which when on a family holiday is a good thing.

We were offered this hotel as a last minute accommodation only package. Did read reviews before take-off, which were mixed, so had some trepidation.
We found the hotel clean with friendly enough staff. If I were to be a critical at this point then maybe they could have done with some more staff in the reception area and restaurant.
Meal times were a hit or miss at first (as far as finding an empty let alone clean table) but once used to the others habits; getting something was easy. The food I found to be fine, maybe a bit repetitive but fine. My wife and youngest child both a bit fussier than me always found something to eat and enjoyed what they'd ate as well.
The entertainment staff did try hard and were good fun and very enthusiastic. Arianna, the team leader, was a great laugh with a booming voice and a great sense of humour.
One big plus point for the hotel is it's location with the prom 150 yds one way, town centre 500 yds another and the market and a few bars 250 yds in the other .
If you fancy a trip into PDLA the bus stop is outside the hotel. From here it was

We stayed at Princessa Dacil in May 2003 the hotel was clean, our room was cleaned well by the cleaners. It was buffet style breakfast and evening meal, and there was a good choice. The location was fairly central. As the mother of a three and a half year old little boy I could not fault the entainment set on by the sol group entertainers. They worked hard day and night providing entertainement for children. Our son made lots of friends and loved it. Professional acts were also on in the evening for the adults which was good (magician, rope act). I would go their again for the hotel facilities. (did not see much of the thomsons kidzone childrens club reps!!!!!)

Having read all the earlier reviews, my wife and I were interested to see which version of the Princessa Dacil we would encounter.
We stayed from 8th April to the 15th. April 2003, just before Easter. We were on the 7th floor and the room was one of the larger ones. We can confirm that the view of the harbour is excellent. Whilst the room was not air conditioned, it was comfortable. However, it should be mentioned that the outside temperatures were pleasantly in the high 50

The hotel was undergoing a refit floor by floor when we went but it never intruded into our holiday.
The food was excellent with good selection, no signs of the things other people complained of.
It cannot have been that bad the hotel cats consumed great quantities of it smuggled out by the guests. Only one cat was ever allowed inside the hotel, called marmalade incidentally.
The hotel stands high up looking over the bay, nice views but all up hill when returning.
Los Christianos bay has a horse shoe beach and a small harbour with ferries to the other islands. Lots of bars and places to eat.
We didn't find any cockroaches any where at all on this holiday which is unusual in tenerife. The room was comfortable but basic. the bathroom was definitely in need of a refit, but had everything you needed.
We found a local chap from Middlesborough! who hired out fans and fridges all brand new and well worth the cost.
The pool was clean and pleasant, you paid a small charge to hire loungers.
The weak spot was the entertainment mostly presentation nights done by hotel staff to the kids, we went out to the local bars all with live bands and such.
We would go back again.

We went Aug 2002, there is the usual rush for sunbeds - even though there are enough for everyone. Reception staff are excellent, entertainment staff work really hard and the hotel is clean. The food is good and caters for many nationalities but still has the chips and ice cream my 10 year old wants. The dining room can get busy late on at breakfast but there still is no waiting around. THOMSON have a kids club here and the staff there are really good with the kids. The Hotel has 15 floors and we had read that people had found this off putting; we didn't think it looked too bad and for a family with no sense of direction we never got lost once as it was visible everywhere.
The Aquapark is a rip off; you pay to get in, you pay again for a sun lounger, you pay to rent an inflatable (you cant go on one ride without one)plus food and drink is expensive.
Loro park is good but busy and on the other side of the island. Parque Aguilas is nearer cheaper and we thought better.
Los Christianos is nice, especially the old town, the harbour is nice and the looky looky men don't hound you once you have said no thanks. Los Americas at night is for young adults who are drunk!! not a place for young kids.
A good holiday.

An impressive hotel, with brilliant spacious rooms. It was in year 2002 when we went to this hotel for two weeks, and I really liked it here.
The resort was nice and quiet, although Playa las Americas is a great place to stay if you are interested in more shops and surroundings. We didn't have any problems at all, the food was nice, the pool was a good size and staff there are very polite and helpful. We weren't really there for all the entertainment, but there was a good deal of entertainment.
I would definitely go back to this hotel again if I had the chance.
There was also a long corner of shops not far, with a beach. When we went up there, we used to sit up the other end at night and it was ever so relaxing. Facing the beach. There was never any shop you wouldn't have wanted here.
There are plenty of things to do in the area, and Playa las Americas was a brilliant place, not too noisy and great to stay at if we ever went here again. Outside the hotel, there is a small playground, great for the kids. A table tennis table. A bar for drinks, and hot foods. Also a kids club.
Great to stay at, and lots to do here, whether it

We stayed at this hotel in Feb 2002 for a week with 2 young children.
Overall we thought the hotel was good. It was clean throughout, and the staff were friendly. The swiming pool was good, with a childs pool alongside the main pool, and plenty of sun beds. There seemed to be plenty of activities laid on throughout the day. The hotel is quiet in the evenings.
The food was good for a 3 star hotel - certainly better than I was expecting. Not gourmet, but reasonably varied, with something for everyone. Other visitors we spoke to had similar views. The restaurant does get busy at peak meal times, but we never saw people hanging around waiting for tables, and the staff were always actively clearing tables etc as fast as they could.
It is not too far from the beach, but the slight rise from the seafront could be a struggle for wheelchairs and buggies.
Los Cristianos is a bit of a dump, but the beaches are OK.
