Aparthotel Columbus, Playas de Las Americas

Have just returned from a weeks stay (19th to 26th March), all inclusive, and could not fault hotel. Good selection of food all well cooked, good service, rooms were clean. We were a bit apprehensive on what to expect as we had read differing reviews but we found everything very good and value for money. We never found queing at the bar for drinks to be a problem and all the staff were polite and friendly. The pools are cold but this is due to them not getting a lot of sun due to layout of hotel and possibly the time of the year. We loved it and would definitely go again and recommend it to friends & family.

this hotel was terrible the hotel was filthy, no choice of food it was chips every day. not recommend this hotel to anyone

Hi all , recently stayed in the Apart hotel Columbus with my girlfriend ,8th may - 20th may it was clean and what we paid for fully newly decorated room and cleaned daily .As someone else mentioned on this review if you get a road side room above the function room it is VERY VERY noisy the windows dont seal properly so lets all the road and people noise in , also alot of young people stay here mainly 18/30s and are very noisy everynight / early hours of the morning 4/5 am we got awoken to the sound of people next door coming in shouting unnecessary things and banging drawers and doors! i had to buy earplugs it was that bad !! we complained to security and they told next door it was us who complained so tip is you cant even complain because it causes hassle for yourselfs ! some days this spoilt the holiday because your tired and lethargic .The staff here are very ignorant .No good for the mature couples or familys with young kids who can be easily woken , The pools are decent with 2 overall spaces for sunbathing they say its a heated pool but isnt, the other side of the apartment block where the heated pool is is usually dead and gets the sun there all day . Me and my girlfriend COULD not stay here again , we would definitely go back to Playa de Las Americas but not stay there. like people say its only somewhere to lay your head but you cannot even do that !!Thanks for reading

Good hotel, clean, everything you could hope for really. There was a hospital up the road from the hotel, which you could hear sirens every 5 mins, during the night. Overall, excellent hotel

Columbus Aparthotel Playa de las Americas - Thomson HolidaysMy wife and I went to Columbus Aparthotel Playa de las Americas from Feb 15-20, 2008. Tenerife was awesome and beautiful weather everyday and we very much liked the town Playa de las Americas. Lots to see and do. We would recommend anyone to go there however watch out for bad service from the Thomson Holidays Travel agents!!!It is a pain to get the drinks one at a time and they make it very inconvenient. During dinner time you actually have to leave the pool and go down some stairs to the basement to get your drink. We found the hotel clean and our room was a good size (this is coming from people who usually stay in hostels ) However we did NOT like the beds. Every morning we woke up with sore backs due to the low quality beds springs poking us in several uncomfortable places. If you stay here be prepared to catch up on your sleep at the beach BUT putting the bad beds and annoying drink service aside our biggest disappointment was with the on-site travel agents from Thomson. They are grumpy, rude and difficult to work with and their inability to clearly provide instructions resulted in us missing the bus for our first excursion (simple shuttle bus ride to market) even though we were waiting for it 5 minutes early and in the correct place. According to the Thomson Holidays on site representative the bus driver apparently came out and called for us twice then left us behind. How we missed this bus I will never know since we were sitting on a bench 4ft from the road where all of the other buses stopped. We then took a very fast taxi ride we were surprised to find it only cost us a total round trip cost including tip of 9.50 Euro!!!! LESS than half what the Thomson Holidays on site rep at Columbus Aparthotel was charging! Ridiculous!. I have experienced MUCH better service and communication skills from a "10-dollar-at-night hostel"' The other 2 excursions that we took were excellent. One to the Volcano in the center of the island and the other for a round-the-island coastal tour. We would recommend these to others as they were good value but book them through someone other than Thomson to save some grief and extra stress while on your vacation.

Tenerife was a fantastic vacation and it would have been perfect if not for Thomson Holidays being involved.

I LOVED THIS HOLIDAY SO MUCH THE BEST EVER THERE WASNT ONLY THINGS TO DO FOR ADULTS CHILDREN TO THEY PROVIDED COMPUTERS AND LOTS OF ENTERTAINMENT DOWNSTAIRS

I AM HOPING TO GO THIS YEAR TO AND CANT WAIT :)

I loved it there me and my friend really enjoyed it....cant wait to go back next year the holiday was so fun and the area was lively just what you want for a young persons holiday !!!

Do not go here! Read the bad points above.

There were lots of things to do through the day and night at the Aparthotel Columbus in Playa De Las Americas. Los Cristianos beach is only a 2 minute taxi away, and it is lush. It is also close to pubs and clubs, which were brilliant. The hotel was OK. The room wasn't that big, but it was clean, and the cleaners came every other day, washed the dishes and tidied the whole apartment. The food on-site was OK, and it wasn't very expensive. I would definitely go back.

Nightly entertainment for a family at Aparthotel Columbus in Playa de Las Americas is brilliant! The kids are kept entertained, and the newly refurbished rooms are good.

The big pool was too cold, so it needs warming up, as more people would use it then, and the children's disco should be more organised, but it was an overall excellent holiday for the family. There is enough to keep the energetic going, yet plenty of loungers for those wanting the sun.
