Was a bit dubious when arriving at this hotel with my friend due to reading quite a few negative reviews, however, very pleasantly surprised! Staff were lovely, check in went smoothly and yes the rooms are a bit ‘tired’ but spotlessly clean with no bugs! Location is perfect, plenty of restaurants and shops nearby and of course the sea more than enough pools - probably my only criticism was that there’s not enough sunbeds and if you are lucky to get a bed it’s probably because you woke up at the crack of dawn to put your towel on one! The hotel isn’t the quietest but it’s right by Veronica’s so if you’re looking for a peaceful hotel then bypass this one!(didn’t actually bother us at all as we knew what we were letting ourselves in for) We only booked for breakfast so unable to comment on any other meal times but a lot of food choice and plenty of seating. Thanks to all the staff at the Sol for making our week a good one….will definitely return!

The hotel is located close to the more lively club area, but if this is not your liking it can be avoided at night by turning left rather than right. A short walk to the beach and promenade. We had a Club room overlooking the pool with a sea view, but given the orientation, no sun on the balcony. Room was spacious, modern and clean, with excellent daily housekeeping. Coffee pod machine, kettle, fridge and safe provided. Other reviews have expressed mixed opinions on the food and entertainment, but given the price both were great value in our view. The buffet always had extensive choices of salads and desserts, and a station for freshly-griddled fish and meat options, as well as numerous other pre-prepared vegetable, fish and meat choices. Each evening had a special food theme, with mixed results. The Mexican and Asian themes were very good, British less so! The evening entertainment was relatively brief, about an hour, but varied and professional, ranging from solo singers, bands, magician, dancers and circus. The bar was pleasant enough, but would benefit from less bright lighting to improve the atmosphere. A wide range of drinks were included in the all-inclusive, but the cocktails were poor compared to the paid-for alternatives.

Well, our love affair with this hotel after 6 visits is over, Staff, from Tommy and his Bar Staff, Cleaners and Reception, can not be faulted, Heated Pool ??? No it isn't, biggest clue here is nobody was in the pool, Clue No2, although the hotel was fully booked there was at the most 20 people around the pool, What happened to the original Life Guards ? Because the one on duty now, has the best job on the island, because no one is swimming, he struts about as if he owns the place, and needs to know hoe to smile. The Bar Food prices are very over priced, although food was nice but, your charging restaurant prices and to be fair your NO Restaurant, Rooms, although comfortable it's about time they were maintained and upgraded, We shall miss this once ”Hidden Treasure ” but I can't see us returning anytime soon, Wake up Whala, bring back happy hour, let's get the old ”Marola Portosin” back a bit of atmosphere, Maybe invest in some entertainment as apart from a decent bed you don't offer much else,

This hotel work's amazingly for young children. Mine are 2 and 4 and the small children's pool and the aqua park meant they could safely stand on their own in the pool with their floats and us watching on the side. This meant we felt we could relax more than we had on previous holidays and we were more social with like minded parents which was nice. It felt like we had a good balance for the kids and us. Both kids loved the nightly mini disco with a special shout out to Shelby - luigi! Who really went above and beyond, knowing all the children in the resort by name. My daughter loved her and was genuinely sad on nights she wasn't working. The rooms were clean and large. The bed was massive and meant we were still comfortable when our daughter got into our bed every night instead of the cot. We did find the pillows a bit hard but that is personal taste. My husband said the meat and fish options were incredible. I prefer to eat more vegetarian and did find that on some evenings the choice lacked, sometimes feeling limited to the salad bar. The salad area seemed to get better on the second week of our holiday than our first. Even presented better but unsure of the reason. My husband thought he saw the owners and that could be part of the potential noticeable positive changes. But that was a guess. When we booked the holiday we thought we'd be fine with the half an hour walk into the nearest towns but the reality was that we found that difficult with the children especially in the heat. We were probably a little naive. A consideration for people booking. I'd have preferred to have been closer to outdoor amenities. Taxi not expensive. Hired a car one day to go to Mount teide which was easy to organise. Overall we loved our holiday. If we needed to book somewhere we could guarantee the children would enjoy again, we would consider coming back here. They were sad to leave and special memories were made.

Location location location! Enjoyed being walking distance to everything and the noise isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. We had a room on the inside of the hotel and we found no problem with the noise from local bars nor the construction which is currently being carried out. (Although blatant during the day when by the pool) Loved staying here and found the beach front a quiet spot to eat and enjoyed walking to the other resorts (only 25 mins along a scenic beach route) to see different sides to Tenerife. The reception team couldn’t be more helpful and we booked Siam Park and our taxi back through them. - They even arranged a breakfast basket for us as with our return flight we wouldn’t have been able to go down to breakfast. Hotel itself is clean and well presented. The room had a Mini fridge (which we emptied and put our own things in there) and basic tea/coffee facilities. The hotel could provide pool towels with a refundable deposit and the hotel has generic shampoo/shower gel. Pool bar shows live sports but dependent on what other guests are also looking to watch but they don’t put the sound on as the pool plays music which does get louder on Friday/saturday. Only criticisms would be the reservation of sunbeds which is a hard thing to control and I’d love to be able to book a room only rate as the breakfast was chaotic and finished at 10:30. Overall if I returned to Tenerife I would book this hotel again and the reviews of the resort are exaggerated in terms of noise and drunken behaviour.

La Siesta isa beautiful hotel with the full range of services. Starting with the rooms, they are spacious, clean and comfortable. Maid service daily. Beds are beautifully comfortable. Poolside is clean and safe. I mention that to bust the myths of other reviewers who talk about our being dirty and slippy. Cleaning a poolside is a bit of a work in progress and there will be be some water unless they follow behind you with a cloth to catch the drips! Pool bar might be a tad pricey but the service is fun and friendly. Where does Ramon get all his energy from? He is attentive, sociable and a good laugh. Evening entertainment bar is also top notch with a special shout to Vicente who had to endure my dreadful cosmic, poor chap! Whilst were at the pool... let's dispel another myth. There are NOT extra charges for pool towels. Just a refundable deposit. Some reviewers seem to make it up as they go along. Children were not the remotest issue, even for us as eight adults. The kids club kept them fully occupied and entertained. Breakfast was a bit of a let down I'm afraid. I get that it's a heel of a job to cater for hundreds at a time, especially with hot food, but i have to say it as I see it and we only ate in the hotel about four days out of the ten.
