Sol Tenerife

Sam Lockwood

Went better than we expected, the service was top notch with the staff extremely helpful and respectful whenever we needed them and are a credit to the hotel , the food was consistent and the drinks options compared to other hotels was great . Views were outstanding particularly from our room of the sea and the hills in the distance. However the hotel seriously needs upgrading with outdated decor and bits falling apart, the pool is freezing with no heater in there compared to other hotels ,the rooms felt like a 1980 style with nothing majorly modern in there , the air conditioning is shocking and seriously needs replacing , even in 25c weather it needs to be stronger but the beds and shower were good and the saving grace , entertainment was hit and miss and needs a rethink , the rock night was excellent and got everyone engaged but some of the singing even though they tried there best was Preety poor . We weren't to concerned about the noise as we knew we booked near the strip in Playa de las Americas as this was a last minute booking however were concerned with the amount of random people outside the hotel trying to force drugs and drinks to you . Honestly it probably wouldn't be a place we come back to if no changes are made but we would try it in the future if they modernise the place, fix the Air Con urgently and warm the pools up . Finally we only saw one Cockroach in the room so that's obviously something the hotel needs to keep a eye on but alot better compared to previous reviews we have seen .

This is not a hotel with AIRCON, it DOES NOT WORK; in anyone's room. Just blows warm air. If like me you like to sleep in a cool room, you will need to hire a fan from Guest Services. And opening the balcony door will only let you hear the clubs and bars outside. Hotel should really offer fans as a free service - or better, upgrade the aircon system. If you're here for more of a party (planning on sleeping during the day kinda party) then the location here is great, and it's pretty quite during the day - enough to snooze on the balcony or room so aircon not an issue. Pools are clean and not had trouble finding beds throughout the day. Really need to be redecorated though; there was quite a few paint flaking areas. The beach is literally out the front gates, although it's stoney, so not really good for sun bathing. Although great for exploring rock pools - and the sandy beaches are only 15 minutes walk. Breakfast buffet had good variety and was good quality. Didn't have lunches or evening meals so cannot comment. Interactions with staff were pleasant and rooms were serviced daily.

After reading the varied reviews we were unsure of what to expect with our stay at Sol Tenerife. Prior to our holiday, I requested our room to be in Block B and they accommodated our request with no issues. The hotel is situated in the heart of Playa de Las Americas, where day and night are both lively. As long as you’re aware of this when booking your stay, then you won’t be disappointed with the noise level. We managed to have a full sleep every night but if you’re a light sleeper then bring earplugs just incase. If you’re looking for a relaxing peaceful holiday, then I’d recommend staying more towards the outskirts of Playa de Las Americas. The hotel is what you pay for; the food is reasonable, the location is central situated next to Veronica’s strip and the rooms are basic. The staff are friendly and attentive. Our rooms were attended to daily - beds made, bins emptied and towels changed. On a few occasions we did find cockroaches in our room. Our room also had a small area with two hobs but no utensils or pots/pans, and a sink with no tap, so we were slightly confused what the purpose of these were. Overall, we had an enjoyable stay as we spent most of our time out exploring the island, however the time we did spend at Sol Tenerife it was good.

My review, simple points. Great location, but… if you have kids and want to sleep prior to midnight then choose elsewhere. The entertainment continues until midnight. After midnight the local clubs continue until 04:00. The nosiest rooms until midnight are the sea view rooms, they are the quietest afterwards. Food, perfectly adequate verging on the good. Air conditioning, at best poor, at worst awful. Staff, all of them give their best and are all wonderful. Rooms, dated and the showers are all above the tiny bath. Would I stay here again? No, but if I was 18 again I would as I wouldn’t be coming back until after 04:00. For the young, great hotel, nice beer and great location.

Disappointing. Dirty hotel, very noisy, old and bored staff and the few younger ones are rude. Almost the same food every day. All inclusive is not all inclusive. Only a few very cheap drinks are included, the rest you have to pay for. Stupid rules, bad smells, bugs in the room and bathroom. There are many clubs around the hotel and of course very loud noise. You can only sleep after 2am. Run away from this hotel and this area. I have more proof of bugs, video, but i cant upload here unfortunately. Just pictures is permit The AC doesn't work, the toilet doesn't work properly, the pool is dirty, bad smells in the hallways, stairs and elevator
