we have stayed here three times now and honestly cant fault it.location is fantastic right on lovely sandy beach,great shops nearby,and eating places.about the pool,we where glad the kids couldnt use inflatables this makes it a nice pool to dip into nowt worse than getting a ball of your head when lying on a sunbed next to pool having a beer.staff where attentive and spoke good english.they work like beavers.the whole place is spotless.so all in all if your reading this wondering should i book this complex dont hesitate just do it you wont be disapointed(unless your a fan of inflatables)

Hi there, we went to a a friends apartment for 12 nights as a couple. We were immediately impressed with the general cleanlines of our 1 bed apartment. The apartment being a living room and small kitchen on the bottom floor and bedroom and wc, bidet, bathroom/shower on top floor.

Both floors had Sun Balconies which overlooked the main area Swimming pool complex which is rated as one of the best in the PDLA area, especially with its proximity to the beach.

The apartment we visited had lots of very nice extras like video's to watch in your room or CDs to listen to.

This Apartment sits in one of the best locations in Tenerife and is spotless, with an inbuilt safe etc.

If you are looking for an inexpensive holiday for 2 and you want to try these I would suggest you would look hard to find better. Thanks to Jon & Marilyn.

The location of these apartments is excellent - they are located on the beachfront, near a sheltered sandy beach, and only a short walk along to the Las Vistas beach, which is the large sandy beach between Las Americas & Christianos.

The pool area is lovely, with plenty of space to play & swim. There is also a choice of cafes within the pool area. The security guards can be a bit of a pain though - I kept being asked for my swim passes - I guess they're there to make sure people dont just wander in and use the facilites but they can be a bit power crazy.

The apartment was very basic with no microwave and a dodgy toaster, but it was cleaned every day and towels changed. The lift in our block was also a bit dodgy and clanked & whirred slowly to our third floor apartment. We had a 3 bedroomed apartment and this gave us a large balcony, which was fantastic.

The reception staff were quite offhand really and were not exactly willing & helpful.

My son was robbed at knifepoint during our stay walking home from the Veronicas area. The police werent helpful at all and the reception staff wouldnt help either, so be warned. There is more on this in the resort section.

Overall, this place was good and a good base in the nicer part of town, near the designer shops & restaurants.

This was our 9th visit to Parque Santiago 3 we love it the reception staff, especially the reservations manager are very helpful when we requested a particular room it is never too much trouble.

The rooms are very clean,there are english channels on the tv and my husband was pleased to see sky sports was one of them.

There are a lot of up market shops around and the hotel is surrounded by 5 star hotels which makes the area very appealing as there are no yobs the security guards make sure the hotel is well protected and I sleep very well whenever I am here.

We came for xmas for the first time last year and we had a great time I will definately do that again I really can't fault the place.

Hotel is fabulous, right on the beach.

The pool area is something else, no problem with beds etc, the area is absolutely great the apartment was brilliant with lots of amenities.

The best thing was the low floor had a garden it was brilliant as we had our granddaughter with us, and she was safe at all times. No problems what so ever would definitely go there again.

Fantastic location, right on the beach. We had a one bedroomed apartment with a wonderful sea view, right over the pool area!

Spotlessly clean, well fitted out, cleaned every day, there was a well equipped kitchen area. Television with several British channels, came in handy as my son had the flu and was in bed for a few days.

The Happy Stable, (the restaurant beside the pool) is very good for lunches, and reasonably priced. There are so many lovely restaurants nearby we were spoilt for choice! Don't eat in the Trattoria though, the pizza was very poor.

This was our second visit to parque Santiago 3 and we will be returning in September.

It is a beautiful large complex, spotlessly clean, helpful staff and excellent location.

We booked PS3 based on the reports given on this site and we were not disappointed when we arrived. We booked a 2 bed apartment and I had emailed PS3 to request a pool or sea view and to be no higher than the 3rd floor and we had all our requests met. We were also given a bird of paradise flower on arrival, very sweet.

We were on the first floor which we got to by a ramp, excellent for all those cases! Our apartment was overlooking the whole pool and had views of the sea. The balcony was as big as the apartment and the whole place was spotless. we only saw one cockroach and that was outside. The apartment had 2 fridges, coffee maker, kettle, cooking utensils, toaster, cooker (which we never used) and plenty of glasses and crockery.

The only downside and its a very very minor one is that every morning from 7am - 8am the pool area and sunbeds were cleaned, which could get a bit noisy from all the chattering but it was also lovely to get up early and watch the sun rise over the mountains. If you kept your patio doors closed you couldn't really hear it so I suppose thats a small price to pay for a spotlessly clean pool area. The whole area was spotless and well cared for, the security guards patrolled the area to ensure that the people using the pool had passes and were authorised to be there.

The pool is a huge lagoon style pool and is very safe for kids, at its deepest its only 1.50m, although the main pool is a bit chilly our daughter was in it all day every day.

There is a second pool that is heated and most of the older generation seemed to stay around that area. Most families seemed to stay around one particular area of the pool as it had a gentle slope into the pool with sunbeds on it, so you could sunbath whilst keeping an eye on the kids. I'm afraid that we did join the majority and put our towels on the sunbeds first thing so we could be in that area, although we could have had sunbeds elsewhere as it wasn't packed.

There is also a safe play area with climbing frame, slides etc that also has a small paddling pool for kids. There are also 2 restaurants by the pool, quite pricey so we usually ate in the apartment for lunch and ate out for tea, there is also a bar by the pool which has pool tables.

Although there was not entertainment at PS3 I have given it a high mark for entertainment as there was loads to do around the complex, crazy golf in PS5 is a must for kids (although a bit pricey) and there are loads of play areas and bars with entertainment close by. Lovely places to eat, especially star of Asia and Peking Garden - very child friendly. Also 2 very good supermarkets within in 5 mins of the apartments, the one outside PS5 is the best. Lovely cakes and fresh bread.

There are loads of shops within the complex and the general public did stroll over the main bridge over the pool to get to the shops from the beach but as we stayed at the other end of the pool it didn't bother us at all.

I would definitely go back to PS3 again and would recommend it to anyone with a young family. If its kids clubs and non stop entertainment round the pool then this place may not be for you but if your looking for a great apartment with wonderfully clean surroundings and close to all you would need then consider PS3, we loved it.

To sum up PS3 I would say it

We chose Santiago 3 based on quality of reviews here and wasn
