I went on a girly holiday with 2 of my friends and was expecting the worst hotel after reading the reports, but we were quite surprised.
Although the apartment was small it was clean and comfortable. There were 2 beds and one camp bed so the youngest of our party - Kate got allocated to the camp bed. It was equipped with all you need except a cork screw - very important!
The pool was small but very clean and the poolside bar was quite nice - except for the karaoke in the evening!
The staff I found to be a little unfriendly and could get quite angry at the noise levels in the early hours, especially with the four guys staying in a room down the corridor from us, but if you can't beat em join em and they were the best laugh ever - Paddy, Steve, Michael & Brydon.
This hotel is definitely not for families and is aimed at the younger party goers even if you have reached your late twenties/early thirties!
The location is brilliant for the clubs but is not as clean or as up- market as the other ends of the resort, it is bang in the centre.

All I can say is very very noisy!! I felt like a right old fogey and I am only 30!
Doors banging and doorbells being rung by revelers on their way back to their rooms at 2, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning. Room 611 is a nightmare as it is near the entrance so all have to pass on their way through and there is a great big palm tree outside the window meaning no sun could get through. We had to have the apartment lights on at all times and could not sunbathe AT ALL on balcony. In fact, we only knew what the weather was like when we stepped outside.
The 30 euro deposit each on arrival is not good either as it meant our budget was reduced for our week as we were not told of this.
Other than that was very clean and pool was ok.
Food and drink good but no entertainment at all.

Well as I'm not the youngest chicken in the coup at 35 I found this place great. It was what I wanted on this holiday, nice and lively and close to bars and beach. Yes there was a bit of noise in early hours of the morning but being drunk by then I never heard a thing.
The pool by the day had a great atmosphere and the little food we had was ok.
Reps were fine but had no need to trouble them.
A few young lads, a drunken lad and his unfortunate girl friend got asked to leave.
If you want a great laugh with your mates this will do the job, but kids will not fit in as it is for the young and us young at heart.

On arrival we were shocked to hear that we had to pay a deposit and for what?, Its not like there was anything worth taking!
When opening the door to the apartment we were first nearly knocked out by the bad smell and then found it to be small, unclean & really Dark.
We seen about Three Cockroches in the apartment and found the staff unhelpful about trying to kill them!
Actually found the staff to be really unhelpful about everything & quite ignorant as well!
Also the cleaners didn't change the bed sheets at all and also seemed to look through alll our stuff including the fridge!
Also when leaving the apartment we were made to pay 20Euro for breaking the front door which was a load of crap but then again the staff couldn't speak proper english so had no choice but pay the money! Think the staff seemed to have a problem with Irish people as no one else got Written warnings about noise on nights they hadn't even been out!!!!

We booked an AOA holiday with First Choice, being told that there were 5 hotels we could be placed in. Unfortunately there was no mention of any of these hotels being 'Young & Livley'.
The hotel is in a 'fantastic' location; the apartment was clean and was kept that way by the friendly maids. The rest of the staff were very helpful and all round nice people, anyone saying other wise were obviously the ones getting told off for making the noise. And believe me there was LOTS of noise!
The hotel was 3/4 full of obnoxious, rude, arrogant and unfriendly people, who's vocabulary were only full of put downs and expletives (from 11am till 11pm - then you had too put up with an awful woman who couldn't sing for toffee)! The other 1/4 were families or couples who you only saw going into and out of the hotel - they obviously felt too uncomfortable to use any of the amenities.
I have no problem with people just wanting to have fun. I mean we are 27 and did our fare share of drinking through the day and all night - but did we bang doors, shout at people, start fighting or make general idiots of ourselves - NO!

Hacienda del sol was a great place to stay. The maids were friendly and cleaned the apartment daily. The staff were great and you always got a 'hola' when walking past reception no matter what time. The security guard made me laugh when he was trying to keep people undercontrol. He must of had a bad night one night as he threatened us with a warning for carrying a turned off c.d player upstairs. Other reviews say the pool is too small. I think the size is ok. Again it is not really a family pool as the majority of the people by it are 18-30's and just splash anyone. I heard a lady complaining at reception that she could not swin with her kids as there were too many teenagers in the pool. That was obvious though, if you look round the hotel the majority staying there are teenagers.

I'd like to add weight to the arguments I have read on the website. The Apartments themselves are basic but all that our party needed. Somewhere to sleep and chill out.
Although I ended up on the camp bed it was as comfortable as you can get and enough for us. The rooms were very clean and tidied excellently by the maids. That was the same for the other staff who too were very friendly and helpful.
The pool was abit small (all the teenagers to be messing around in it) but with the beach a 5 minute walk away then what more could you ask for? The beach was busy but there was plenty of room whatever time we got down there!
The location is intended for the teenager/young adult age group due to it being only 30seconds from Linekars bar (which is the best entertainment in Playa) but this did cause problems sleeping at night as the noise was pretty loud.
All in all though an excellent holiday and was well looked after by staff and Reps
Look forward to going again soon!

We visited Tenerife on an allocation on arrival - Never Again. We arrived at lunch time and our apartment was clean yes although very dark as the internal lighting was terrible. The pool was very very busy with too many beds for the area. When checking in they asked us for 30 euros each as a deposit so immediately we knew hmmmm it had to be a twenty's 18-30 club type thing so were not that happy. Sure I have been 18 before and enjoyed myself to the limit on holiday forgetting that when you have had a few drinks you do not become invisible or start whispering. It was extremely noisy doors banging right through from say 12pm till 6 am so if you want a sleep where you go then dont go there. There was a few families checked in and I felt extremely sorry for them. The entertainment was a dismal kareoke which thankfully finished at 1 am. The maids were very good, changing towels sheets etc regular, staff on reception friendly enough. We made the best of not an ideal location for us but if you are over 25 I suggest you stay somewhere else.
