ALUA TENERIFE 4 *

We visited for 10 nights, hotel itself is really lovely, on checking in we got a glass of champagne and all reception staff during our day was very nice. The room was really clean spacious and comfy, there is also a free safe in the wardrobe so people putting about things being stolen just use the safe. There is also a hair dryer as it don’t say on the read up. Pool area was really nice kept clean they had just had more sun beds when we was leaving ready for the peak season. The smoking/vaping area is not big enough for the size of the hotel and you can’t vape outside it. The entertainment team work tirelessly and never stop so if you have kids it’s great for them I will however say it’s mainly aimed for French and Spanish guests. Food- we found the food ok lunch time was better than dinner always an option of fish pork or chicken, breakfast was the best but you can’t take any food or coffee out the restaurant and the bar for coffee don’t open untill 11 for AI. While there we visited Loro parque it was amazing and only a 10-15 min walk out of the hote to the left. We also visited town about 20 mins walk to the right of the hotel and found the lovely salt pools which we visited twice €7 for the day. All in all would visit again but on a self catering basis.

Hotel is cheap and well located. Very clean. External refurb badly needed. Pool area and noise is a big minus. Bored and indifferent staff generally, with several exceptions.

Generally a lovely hotel but room 1003 was in bowels of hotel and despite being a lovely room left me feeling vulnerable as accesses via filthy Service lift and deserted corridors. Reception changed room for me without issue. Very clean, pool area very nice but sunloungers can be difficult to obtain as they are claimed early. Entertainment is geared towards the French but I didn’t mind as was more for kids. Food was ok always something to eat but a little repetitive and never better than lukewarm Staff lovely if shown respect and seem to appreciate an attempt (if feeble) at Spanish! I would definitely return as was overall a lovely holiday. They could do with improving the food temperature though.
