Quiet resort with a European clientele. Buffet style restaurant with sufficient choice. Good access by local bus to other areas.


Bad Points

Resort needs upgrading, although some work was going on whilst we were there.


General Comments

We deliberately booked this hotel and resort in Costa del Silencio because we did not want the usual British Tenerife experience of 'just like home' food, alcohol and loud entertainment. We were a little disappointed in the standard of the accommodation as it looked a little 'tired', however, as we were there for just a week, it was not a problem. The clientele were predominantly French and Spanish as were the hotel assistants who organised the entertainment. If you were prepared to join in and spread the 'entente cordiale' there was much to be gained. We played (and lost) Scrabble against a Finnish gentleman and joined in games of Trivial Pursuit played in French and English.
The buffet style restaurant was more than adequate catering for all dietary requirements and sold wine by the carafe for a mere 3.2 euros. Las Galletas is a small fishing village about a 10-15 minute walk away and is worth visiting first thing in the morning to watch the fishermen bring in their catch and sell it on the harbourside. Buses to Los Christianos and Las Americas are frequent and inexpensive.
This is a quiet resort, ideal for anyone who wants to take it easy and not be assaulted by time-share/holiday club touts or street sellers which are the scourge of the major resorts on this island. The english guests who arrived on the Gatwick flight for an all-inclusive holiday at this resort, were clearly disappointed from the outset and they should have really checked their package before leaving England.
