Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife Hotels with Pools

Appartement très bien équipé et très agréable, idéalement situé à Puerto Santiago, au calme mais dans le centre de la ville et à 2 pas d'une plage de sable

First visit to a Hard Rock Hotel and it met my expectations. Hotel is in a small resort, which we were aware of so we had a hired car for the duration of our stay allowing us to visit bigger resorts as and whenever we wanted. Had to pay €12 per day to use hotel car park. We usually stay in 5* at Playa Del Duque and have never had to pay to park. HRH is a money spinner, we were half board and found drinks were expensive. Lunch at Constant Grind also expensive albeit really great quality. Lots of entertainment throughout the day and evening, some better than others. Room was great - we were in a gold suite and can’t really fault it. Breakfast and dinner in the buffet was manic! Very very busy and like a school canteen, food was generally of good quality, however in the evening it wasn’t a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It was a case of eat and leave as soon as possible. Would I return? Probably not, however it seems lots of guests were returning customers.

My Mum and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for 4 nights as part of her birthday celebration and it was perfect! The rooms are so comfortable and the bedding is sublime! The team who work there are so fantastic - nothing is too much trouble and ever so helpful. There are beautiful towels by the pool which don’t slip down and you get two as standard so not everything is wet when you get out! There is even suncream at the pool so you don’t have to bring your own! Wifi is brilliant throughout the hotel. Cocktails are beautiful, about 17-18 euros each but worth every penny! Absolutely delicious. My only criticism was the lack of food choices in the hotel by the pool - not a huge amount to choose from, very fish based (I don’t eat fish) and the service was a little slow for drinks but that could be the time of year. But there was fabulous popcorn cones and fruit kebabs which were shared in the morning which was great. When planning you’re trip, just be aware that there is nothing around without a taxi from this hotel - there’s some lovely local places nearby but you will need to get in a taxi. The beach area is incredibly well set up - the little train takes you there, there’s a full bar and restaurant, toilets, suncream and sun loungers. Overall it was a brilliant stay and would recommend the hotel for sure - would be even better once the refurbishments are done and there are a few more pools and the restaurant with a view is open again! Thanks for a lovely stay!

The restaurant has been renamed and revamped. The gym is brilliant and the air conditioning was very welcome by the end of my workout. The wicker furniture on the Ocean Breeze Terrace needs replacing but does not detract from the overall experience. Some of the entertainment on the Ocean Breeze leaves a lot to be desired as mentioned by a lot of our family and friends. The gardens were the perfect place to hold our Vow Renewal Ceremony and the staff were utterly brilliant, friendly and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our Vow Renewal or a better holiday. Many of our guests were crying when they had to go home. The pool is inviting and the pool activities were great to watch and take part in.

You couldn’t fault this hotel. Modern centrally located with good staff and modern noise proof rooms with safe, decent sized fridge for complimentary water plus your own supplies. The shower was probably the most powerful I’ve had. The toilet room a little small. Bed was huge and comfortable and there was wireless phone charging on both sides. Up top there was a rooftop pool and bar which is a real feature. I ventured into the pool even though it was freezing. Nice to stand and look at the cruise ships. The rooftop bar is ran independently of the hotel so no charging to room. The drinks were reasonable there. WiFi worked well throughout. We did not eat at the hotel though could have pre-booked breakfast for €15 each. Checkout at midday and overall the room rate was good value for money.

Worth the price of 150 Euros for three nights in Jan. Simple basic rooms with everything you need for a few nights self catering, (although no microwave or oven). Two small single beds put together (which also moved apart easily so not easy to cuddle up as a couple). Self check in was simple, reception open from 9am to 11am where you can also hire walking poles. One the first day our TV and heater was broken. Instant replies on WhatsApp and a heater provided immediately. The TV was never fixed (but we could watch Netflix on our phones as the Wi-Fi was good). Water pressure was a bit hit and miss in the shower, but the water was hot and the bathroom was clean. The lounge area was comfortable with a good selection of books to read, and other guests very respectable so it was quiet. The views are stunning, great to have a balcony., but be aware that as this is in the mountains it rains a lot. There are lots of walks you can do from Hermigua, We did Ruta 37, which is a 7km round trip but as it had been raining for two days prior the route was treacherous in some places and it took a lot longer than the suggested 4 hours. Definitely take walking poles and be prepared for this route to be incredibly steep near El Cedro. Coming back down is worse because of the slippery surfaces. For comparison, up and down El Teide in Tenerife I would rate 6/10 for difficulty, but this I would rate 9/10 (I am an average middle age slightly overweight hiker). Definitely go to Los Telares restaurant whilst you are there. The BEST food and great vegetarian selections. NB: Not many people speak great English in LA Gomera (and why should they? - but if you are used to Los Christianos this may be a surprise).

Extremely quiet area infact quite boring If you haven’t thrown your towel on a sunbed by 9am you won’t get one until after 5pm Food repetitive goat and bird salad not for us Restaurant is loud, manic absolutely no ambiance We went in every night and ended up eating out Definitely not a short walk to the beach, we never did find it !! Very expensive holiday almost 3k for one week half board. Then meals out on top of that. Hotel itself though is spotless and our room was very nice (deluxe sea view) Bed was very comfortable Check in a very long process Entertainment night time good we watched it from our balcony. Pity about the sun bed hogs, they were even putting their towels out one morning in the rain !! A lot of sun beds with towels on but no one in them. Plus side they have a separate smoking area so you are not breathing in second hand smoke. The area is extremely hilly and we are fit but after 4 days I was sick of climbing hills to go down them to climb another and so on. Definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues unless you are not going to leave the hotel. Was really looking forward to our holiday especially as the reviews are so good but we just didn’t find what others obviously did.

If you're a wheelchair user, please make sure to let the hotel know with plenty of notice. I use a wheelchair that doesn't fold and I couldn't get into my room without taking the wheels off as there's a wardrobe immediately as you enter the room. Fortunately, I am able to walk and only use my chair for longer distances.l, but for others, this could be a real issue. We stayed in that room for one night and they were happy enough to swap me into a different room in the morning. That first night was awful. There were concerning dips in the floor and the noise from being next to the ocean was so loud, plus the wind rattles the windows, it sounded like I was lost at sea. The receptionist was lovely and upgraded us to a family room, no issues, though I hope for the sake of others that there are double rooms available that are more accessible, not just family rooms. The family room was luckily on the other side, so it was totally silent. The breakfasts were quite stale and the milk for the cereal was warm so stuck with the crepes every morning. We did have dinner here one evening but unfortunately, when I got to the dessert stand, there was a cockroach crawling on the food. They were very apologetic and gave both of us a glass of wine as an apology, but then still had to pay full price on the meals. Fortunately, we did bring an extension cord as there weren't many sockets and not all of them even worked. There were no ceiling lights, just plug in lamps, which made it quite dim at night. The pool is barely heated but it takes a few seconds for your body to acclimatise. The mattress is quite firm and I found the pillows were far too high. Also beware that the hotel is on a VERY steep hill. Luckily, I can actually walk quite well in hot weather but I was definitely out of breath when I got from the bottom of the hill to the hotel. The WiFi is awful and I ended up just using my data. The zoo is well worth visiting though and it's a very short distance away. As you come into the hotel, it's got a huge lovely lobby which was lovely to sit in, so it really surprised me how poor everything else was. I have no ill intentions and the staff were lovely but I have to be honest.

The Location is Great, the rooms are Clean and the service is very friendly and super nice (they let us in the room earlier) I would totally recommend it 😄 Great View from the rooms. Nice TV Channels in a Lot of languages. Only thing that could be better are the opening times of the Pool 😂😂
