Top 10 Zona verde Hotels

I stayed for 2 weeks in January. I have often been a guest in H10 hotels - none of which have disappointed. However, the Tenerife Playa was the exception. Clearly some refurbishment has been done in the bathrooms (attractive tiling and fittings) but the remainder is definitely overdue care and attention. I realise this is an old hotel, but even so. The staff are welcoming and efficient. The main area which needs huge improvement is the food - which is mediocre. Hot soup tasted of absolutely nothing - but was hot. All Main dishes had a brown ”sauce” which was also tasteless. Even the salads were lacking - why no tomatoes ? or ”french” dressing - just something to add some taste. One night I had a slice of pork (what could go wrong ?) and declined the ”sauce”. The meat was so tough I requested a sharper knife from the maitre D. I tried the replacement with no success and asked the Maitre D to try - he also failed ! This is the only hotel where the best thing was the bread at breakfast !

We spent a week at this hotel at the end of January. Our room was at the front of the hotel on the 11th floor,it could quite noisy of an evening till about 11.30pm. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. A kettle and cups were supplied, we picked up a carton of milk from a nearby supermarket as we had a small fridge in the room.We were able to get teabags and sachets of instant coffee from dinning room. Air-conditioning worked well in our room as did wifi both of these were free.The food was plentiful and a wide variety dishes on offer,although could have been a bit warmer.We only went to entertainment one evening and thoroughly enjoyed the flamenco dancers.There was quite a few activities throughout the day ie: bowls darts ect which attracted a few participants. The pool was a bit on the chilly side, but it was January.Lots of sunbeds around the pool and also on the solarium, so we never had a problem finding a couple .Hotel is very central and rooms at the front have excellent views.We stayed on a half board basis.

We spent a week all inclusive at this hotel and thought it was excellent value for money. Our room 211 was overlooking the centre courtyard with side view of the sea and mountains, you could hear the entertainment until about 11pm then it was very quiet. The beds were 2 large singles pushed together which were very comfortable, we had a nice balcony and bathroom all decorated and nicely furnished. The rooms and the whole hotel and outside areas were spotlessly clean. There are pool areas, 1 for everyone, 1 for adults only and 1 for premium guests. We stayed round the main pool which has different terraces with loads of sunbeds and chairs. Pool Towels can be hired for a returnable €15 deposit. The hotel is out of the main town so there is not much locally but 20 mins walk to bars and restaurants. The restaurant and food was amazing, so much choice, well cooked and constantly replenished. Crepe bar open every afternoon and bar snacks available all day. Good free WiFi.
