Really nice hotel got lucky and were upgraded to a family suite larger room with big balcony with sunloungers on it. Very very nice view over to the pool beach and harbour. Rooms are ok nothing special very clean.
Nice pool area if your going with kids they will enjoy as when we were there they put large inflatable things in one of the pools maybe as it was in the school holidays.
Can't say about food as went room only but other guests seem to like it.
All in all a good hotel near to the beach would visit again.

First time in this hotel. Cannot fault it at all. Staff friendly and helpful.
Rooms cleaned daily
Food plentiful and varied. If you do not find something to suit then you would be better off self catering.
Down side is that you have to purchase drinks with your evening meal, even water.
Hotel not really suitable for those with walking difficulties as lots of steps and hills to get to beach and shops, although they are worth it.
There are currently a lot of road works in the area but once all are finished area will be even better.
Would I visit this area and hotel again? Definitely

After returning from a week at this hotel the word to describe it is fantastic!! On arrival we were made very welcome by the staff on reception and as the week progressed we found every member of staff to be more than helpful.
There was a vast selection of food both at breakfast and dinner and you were welcome to eat as much as you liked. We loved the hot pancakes at breakfast time delicious with chocolate sauce. Dinner was a treat with choices of Fish, pasta, pizza, a roast, chops, burgers, paella, various cold meats and loads of salad stuff, salad dressings, fresh fruit and a choice of cakes and desserts. Some of the food was cooked freshly in front of the cutomers......the only negative point is I am now about 7lbs heavier.
We stayed in room No.550 which had a great view but the positioning of the balcony next door meant our balcony was always in the shade, nice if you want to stay cool (but we love the sun). There was a fridge in the room which was great for keeping cool the water and wine. The room was kept immaculately clean and we were never bothered by cleaners knocking on the door early. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had perfect temperature control.
Entertainment included, The Bee Gees, Grease and Saturday night fever etc but we went out every night after dinner so can't comment.
The position of the hotel is described as at the beach but it sits rather high up so not for people with walking difficulties unless they intend to remain in the hotel area which is fine with lifts to all floors.
I would definately recommend this hotel.

We stayed on a Bed & breakfast rate, so i cannot comment too much on the food, although breakfast was great! Plenty of choice of fruit, pancakes, cooked, continental etc.
On arrival we were offered a drink by the receptionist to cool down whilst we checked in and throughout our stay all of the staff in the hotel were very helpful and friendly.
When we booked we asked for a sea view room and we were not disappointed, the room had a fantastic view and was not overlooked by anyone, it was very clean, spacious and bright and they cleaned the room daily. It is a nonsmoking hotel in the indoor public areas which is great (for non smokers). The entertainment both day and night was extensive, fun and something for everyone. There seems to be a great kids club. The Pool is very large so even when it is busy you are not bumping into everyone in the pool, although trying to get a sunbed first thing was difficult (as you would expect) but after lunch it cleared quite quickly and was much easier to get one.
If your flight back is after you have checked out they do offer a service where they let you have a room for 1/2 hour to shower/change/sort yourself out free of charge. We used this service and it was useful.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone!

Looks nothing much from outside but lovely inside. Rooms were kept beautifully clean and beds and towels changed regularly.
Pool area has lots of sunbeds but a bit short of umbrellas on busy days. Although there are notices about booking beds it isn't enforced and so guests put towels on beds, some well before 8 o'clock.
We found the food generally excellent with plenty of choice. Location is good, lots of bars and shops nearby and easy walk down to the beach. All staff very polite, friendly and helpful.
We went to the entertainment on about 6 different nights. Some of it was excellent, superb Abba tribute band on one night, rest of it very good.
Good variety of animation during the day if you want to join in but no pressure to do so. Wide range of ages staying here but probably suits 50+ best.
We also found bedrooms on the front noisy and transferred to rear view without a problem. No drinks with dinner, not even water, unless you paid extra.

Absolutely wonderful hotel, cannot praise it enough. We have stayed in 2 other hotels very close to this hotel, but this one was by far the best. FANTASTIC.
The food was wonderful, the choice amazing, all the staff were so friendly.
The rooms were very clean, light and airy, bathroom was spacious. All just excellent.

The hotel looks very uninspiring from the outside but is very bright & welcoming once you enter.
It's a very busy hotel but is efficiently run by helpful friendly staff. Our room was 466 & unfortunately overlooked the very busy road at the front of the hotel. We asked to move to a sea view room & we were told we could view one the following day, although the receptionist pointed out that at this time of year the sea view rooms did not get any sunshine on them & were extremely cold. Nevertheless we had a look. The sea view room was furnished much the same as ours ( clean & bright but basic ) but was indeed very cold so we stayed put!
A roadside room would be too noisy I feel at the height of the season with the bars & discos in the area. There was no drawer space in the room which was a little inconvenient.
There wasn't a great deal of variety in the food I felt ( but I'm fussy on the food department)however my husband put 5lbs on in a week so it couldn't have been that bad!
The hotel was very clean & the rooms were kept to a very good standard.We only went to the entertainment a couple of nights but what we saw was good & it was packed every night. This hotel suits the 50+ age group best. The pool area did get congested & I'm afraid people were putting towels on sun beds as early as 8.30am .
I would return for a week but would probably not consider two.

This was our fourth visit to this hotel,we normaly visit in January.
The management have maintained high standars in all areas, and the food ,especially the meats were very good and even better than on our previous holidays.
The hotel staff in general are very helpful and work hard to help you enjoy your stay.
Entertainment at night was the worst we have seen at this hotel over the past three years, although the staff worked very hard, some-how due to movent of staff to other hotels etc they lacked the flair and fun element of the past team.
This is a nice hotel that gets repeat business every year some people are on their 24th year, that tells you something about the quality.

Recently spent our honeymoon at this hotel and we were more than happy with every aspect of our holiday. The standards of cleanliness were very high,the maid service is the best we have ever encountered. The choice of fresh food on offer in the dining room was very good with chefs show cooking at every meal time.
The hotel has a brilliant pool and lounging area and is also very close to the beach.
The reception has fully English speaking staff on hand 24 hours a day who are very polite and accommodating.
We would definitely recommend this hotel and plan on visiting again, this time with our children.

My partner and I have just returned from 2 very excellent weeks at the Torviscas Playa. We have both been to Tenerife previously so we knew what to expect from the resort.
The hotel was fantastic, the staff were on hand for any problems and queries you had 24 hours a day. The rooms were large enough for 2 people, unless of course these people that moan about everything just sit in their rooms for 2 weeks!!!!!!
Meal times were very well prepared and organised! My partner and I are both vegetarians and we found something different every single day for the duration of our stay, so if thats not variety for you, i don't know what is! The food is fresh and the chefs cook most of the food in front of you so everything is hot and you know it hasn't been stood there for a couple of hours. I really don't know how people can find fault with anything to do with the food in this hotel, breakfasts were fresh and again, there was always plenty of variety!
Obviously, every hotel has a moaner and can find fault with the simplest of things but I would recommend this hotel to anyone! We are a young couple and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I think the hotel is mainly aimed at older couples, but nevertheless, we had a fantastic time.
The entertainment was another outstanding point to this hotel, the animation staff seemed to work 24 hours a day and were still always smiling and trying to involve all of the guests. There is various entertainment during the day to get involved in (bingo, water polo, ping pong, etc etc etc) and at night there is a different show every day. There was something to suit everybody and I would definitely recommend the Brazilian martial arts show, it is amazing!!!!!!
Anyway, I could go on and on and on about how wonderful this place is but you should check it out for yourself!!!
