Costa Teguise, Club Siroco

Just spent a very pleasant week at the Sirocco in Costa Teguise, Booked through A1 Travel. Everything ran very smoothly. We stayed on a self-catering basis, so I can't give an opinion on the food/ restaurant. Our room was fine, a one bedroom apartment with a lovely pool view, and even a distant sea view, through the parted fonds of a nearby palm tree!! The apartment facilities were perfectly adequate, although we could have done with more than the 2 TV channels in English!! The hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from the centre, but the proximity of the sports bar adjoining the hotel, was very handy, particularly when the wind was blowing a gale, as it did quite often during our stay! It's wall-to-wall sport on multiple screens, and good wholesome British fayre. The temperature was in the low 20's all week, and I was in T shirt/shorts all week. I put on my sweatshirt occasionally, when the wind took the edge off the temperature. We found some excellent restaurants in the centre: La Bohemia, La Tabl'e, El Patio, to name a few. For the price we paid, the holiday was excellent value :-)

Our first impressions of the hotel were quite down-hearting to be honest. I think you're definitely getting what you pay for with this hotel...It IS 2*, so I guess you shouldn't really expect much.We never really saw much of the Reps, but they were around sometimes to host games of water-volley and Kareoke.The hotel offers a few excursions (not much), and the reception staff help you out if they can. The young lad in the Disco bar is an absolute pleasure to be around. He was very friendly and easy to talk to,We did have a colony of ants in our room, but they never bothered us - and on the plus side, they killed any cockroaches that came in!!! So I'll take them ANY day. XDI'll obviously admit, the holiday wasn't ANYTHING spectacular, but it was nice to be out of London, so I wouldn't really complain.Probably not one for the faint-hearted...
