Arico Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Arico, Tenerife

"The restaurant staff were very good, but the food wasn’t great. The pool lifeguard with the towels was so rude nearly every day. It’s a shame you don’t get basic amenities in the room like water and better bathroom amenities. "

"We have been to Santa Barbara many times (we obviously like it) so knew what to expect. It is well located, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drink prices are reasonable albeit cheaper in local bars of which there are plenty. There’s a lovely beach walk to Los Abrigos where there is a fabulous fresh fish restaurant we would recommend. The bus stop is nearby with hourly services either way. There’s also several interesting golf courses. Being an aparthotel you can eat in if you want or to save money. We had breakfast in every day sitting on the balcony looking at the sea which was very pleasant."

"Lot of noise in the evening and the food was poor for the price"

"Great stay"

"Clean spacious apartment good facilities fridge , microwave , toaster , kettle ,sink , oven , hob ,cutlery , large TV ,dining tables in lounge and on balcony , large settee ,power shower in all respects a little home from home ."

"Took over an hour on arrival to check in, got up to room and there were hairs everywhere and on bed lining. Woke up the following morning and there were ants on the bedside tables. Location was good, breakfast was ok and lifts were quick. Would not be back."

"Wasn’t checked in at the preferred reception for some reason ? Also the butler service was non existent in preferred club areas. Apart from that the hotel and service was excellent"

"This Aparthotel has everything you need for a relaxing stay in Tenerife. The apartment is large, nearly all have a sea view (ours was obscured by tropical trees filled with beautiful tropical birds - a pleasant bonus). The pool really is filled with filtered seawater, which is emptied weekly, cleaned then refilled. When you swim out to the deep end (nearest to the coast line) you can see a beautiful view of Mount Teide on a clear day). The entertainment team offer relaxing poolside group stretch/pilates sessions most days, with stunning backdrops of the ocean/ pool & mountain all at once. Some afternoon light fun activities for families which include darts, boules, aquagym and themed fun by the pool most days (weather dependent of course). Excellent bus routes link this Aparthotel with the south airport (40 mins on the bus) which offers further routes around the island ((we took a bus to Santa Cruz for the day for museums and shopping & Playa de las Americas for sandy beach days ). The aparthotel is very close to supermarkets, pharmacies, excellent cafe's. A 5 minute walk greets you with a small Marina filled with sea-view restaurants for locally caught seafood specialties. Make a little effort with the language and you will be welcomed with open arms (not a Brits-abroad town). The aparthotel has a very small sandy beach next door which offers excellent snorkelling. The on-site restaurant has good quality food, evening live music and a really good daytime poolside menu."

"you have everything you need and more, value for money, clean all amentites, pool lovely staff friendly and helpful"
