Mass tourism with a few pros and cons *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The hotel is very large, which the entertainment (sport-football, tennis, mini golf, high ropes and-, child care, and bar/dining offer) very positive effect. The view of the ocean, La Gomera and the cliffs of Los gigantes are very nice. working there are also many friendly and tried very hard to please the guests. With the exception of the front desk are English for communications required, but in the Spanish speaking abroad should not expect better. Guests can throw a clear dominance of the British share on. It would not be more remarkable, if not the whole of the animation and the evening program expired would only English speaking (no downside, it was new for us).
We were not satisfied, that US upon arrival stated, that the hotel was overbooked and we were so not the booked suites, but only double room '. The bathroom was small and not as a substitute for the yellow we VIP bracelets, it has taken us a bottle of champagne, bathrobes and slippers, as well as free use of the higher percent retables voluntary alcoholic drinks. But what are the essentials and best Kleidungsmäßig hardly any alcohol drinking people begin? So we put and received after one night booked at least one of the suites. This was really good (spacious, nicely decorated, lots of storage space, two flat screen tv, terrace).
The disadvantages of the mass tourism resulted in a second aspect strongly negative point: many people, many of them children, create a density and a crowd as anthill, as well as a lot of noise. The latter is reinforced by the background music in the zentralbau and the restaurants (especially in the halls nature), as well as bars and also the volume nightly Showelemente competition in close proximity to each other. The hotel impressive a considerable part of the town, where it is.
It has to be mentioned, that some travel brochure claims (more?) vote or be respected. So lacked the 24 hours-sandwich service, the number of pools and à la carte restaurants is less than often to read, the slide in the pool limited only very limited in operation. Nor can the evening with floodlights at the tennis court for a fee. This, as well as mini golf are only available from 7 to 19 o'clock, given the Tageshitze the longest time is hardly reasonable. Why no previous and subsequent use?
For families with small children, their parents, toast mainly the in the sun and will not shrink from munch, early in the morning at the pool with towels to reserve umbrellas, are with the hotel and also the place well advised. We were traveling with a rental car, north-west corner of the less than ideal location was. Therefore, and also, because we heat rather avoid, at a next time we would rather go Puerto de la Cruz and prefer a different kind of hotel.
