La Degollada Holidays

The staff were very friendly, hotel felt relaxed. My criticisms are that the bed and beddings are not the most comfy, especially the very cheap pillows. If you are seeking comfort I wouldn’t highly recommend. The room generally was clean if a little noisy. Entertainment options were good, as was the massage and pool. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Overall it was a positive stay.

Hotel RIU PALACE . The best Tenerife.

I stayed at this hotel, which is officially rated as 5 stars, but in reality I would give it more of a solid 3 stars. The rooms are very spacious and, most importantly, everything is extremely clean — that’s definitely the hotel’s biggest strength. However, the rooms are quite outdated. Some of the furniture is chipped, the inside of the fridge was cracked, and overall you can see that the place needs renovation. Still, the cleanliness made up for a lot. Breakfast was absolutely perfect. There was everything from a full English to continental options, various drinks, and plenty of healthy choices. Definitely one of the highlights of the stay. I didn’t try the pool because we spent most of our time outside sightseeing. The area around the hotel doesn’t have many restaurants, so it’s not a destination like Los Cristianos. We drove about 10 minutes to the beach, which was great. The hotel is only about 14 minutes by car from the airport, which is convenient, but keep in mind that planes fly directly over the property. If you spend the whole day at the hotel, the noise might start to bother you. Overall, a clean hotel with excellent breakfast, but not up to true 5-star standards. Definitely would come back in future
