This was our 3rd visit to el Duque over the years. We wasn’t disappointed and find it excellent value. Decided to be b n b this time the breakfast had lots of choice and fresh omelettes made. Pool areas and very clean was a struggle to get sunbeds as winter sun only some areas in it and people often reserving beds before time allowed which is frustrating. Staff helpful and friendly. Our room was cleaned daily not much sun on our terrace this time but no bother. Husband slept in living room and window was bright but used a towel on the outside sorted! Lots of restaurants close we loved the pizza restaurant and went on Christmas Day. Staff made lovely effort at Christmas. Probably won’t return as next time we won’t have a buggy so need to be closer to the front.

We stayed in an apartment. We were all inclusive but having a kettle and fridge was really useful. The rooms are very clean and smelt wonderful after the cleaners had been in. They work so hard and it is seen. We were on the ground floor with our terrace facing the public park. We didn’t spend much time on the terrace. Both pools were heated, the kids loved being in the pool. The larger pool has more of a shallow part which was great for the kids. The smaller pool was deeper. There was always plenty of sun beds available. We normally went in the afternoon. The food was to a high standard. Not a huge range but a high quality. There was always something to have. There was always fresh salad and a good range. There was always pasta, chips and pizza so even fussy eaters had something. There was always a couple of meats and fish being cooked fresh. The restaurant was always clean, the staff work really hard. Empty plates didn’t stay on the table for long. New Year’s Eve gala buffet was huge and amazing, really impressive. So much food to choose from. There was champagne on arrival and the children got their own special drink. The entertainment was outside so it was cool, there were heaters that were put on every night. The staff that did the mini disco were brilliant. There was only 3 of them but they worked together well and the kids loved them. The kids went to the kids club a couple of times and had loads of fun. All the staff work hard and make the holiday relaxing. Even with some tough customers they just got on with it. They always seemed happy and seemed to enjoy their jobs. We would recommend the hotel and if we go back to Tenerife we would go to this hotel.
