We stayed overnight on a last minute booking after a flight was cancelled. The studios were relatively "no frills" but clean and comfortable and a reasonable size.
There was a nice balcony with table and chairs overlooking the pool. Linen, towels, kettle, crockery, toaster were provided but no toiletries other than soap. There was a microwave and hob, with a few pans etc. There's a small fridge. The pool area looked quite nice although we didn't use it. Although the property was full it was quiet (Sunday night between Xmas and New Year).
The staff were very helpul - they booked a taxi for us to get back to the airport in the morning and responded very quickly by email when I contacted them subsequently to ask for the invoice in soft copy.
It was perfect for what we needed for an overnight stay arranged at the last minute.

Its basic and a decent option for the price. We did not have issues finding sunbeds or anything like that. Very few rowdy people either and the pool is big.
Aircon needs to be rented
Same with towels(u get money back)
The biggest con is the hotel is old and in need of an upgrade. But if u are comfortable with something simple and a bit dated(but clean and nice personel) this is a good option

I came her by myself for a 6 day solo trip. After reading other reviews I was expecting loads of teenage groups and loud music all night long, but it honestly wasn’t that bad in my opinion. There were a lot of teenagers but I didn’t find them too annoying but I‘m also still young so that might be why they didn’t bother me. There was also some music at night but nothing you couldn’t ignore. Really liked the small apartment, lots of space, definitely too much for only one person but if you come here with a group I suppose it should be perfect. The pool area wasn’t super big but still very cute and enjoyable, with a little bar where you could get drinks and food. Staff was generally super nice and always willing to help, especially loved the people working at the bar!! So overall a really nice experience, probably a better fit for younger people though, unless you’re not easily bothered by noises and teenagers :)

A great hotel offering a central base for Playa de las Americas and Cristianos, both offering restaurants, shops and bars galore to suit all tastes.
The hotel is basic but is always clean, comfortable and has lovely helpful staff in reception and pool bar which is very popular.

Nice hotel with lovely staff
Stayed in Whala for our last night in Tenerife. Hotel offers value for money and has nice pool/bar area. Reception manager was extremely friendly and although we arrived 10:30 am he could offer us our room immediately. Then helped us out the next day with luggage. The rooms are a bit old so guess rennovation is needed. It was extremely warm during the night but we managed with fans in the ceiling, AC would have been preferred. But all in all we had a good stay.

For what we paid the hotel is outstanding, the Guy on reception is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area,, he can’t do enough for you. The hotel is really relaxed about bringing your own drink etc to the pool. The pool bar is superb and very reasonable cost wise. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re on a budget, very clean and the water in the swimming pool is immensely clean and warm in the bottom pool! Those wanting to cool off chose the top pool.
We will definitely come back every year as this part of Tenerife is fantastic… thank you for a lovely stay

This apartment hotel was excellent. I do B&B and in my opinion the cleaning team are excellent. The desk staff were polite and helpful and available 24hrs per day. The hotel is 10 minutes easy walk the the beach and as a solo traveller I felt safe in the area. The apartment had a small kitchen area with crockery, cutlery, hob, microwave and sink. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend the place to anyone.
I got what I paid for. Wasn’t the best, but for the price was good enough for a few nights. However at night the bar under the hotel is very noisy until very late!
