Tenerife Hotels from $59

Although writing about this visit somewhat late we had a really nice experience staying there. Our room which was a garden room with Jaccuzzi was just what we expected. The 'apartment' was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The Jaccuzzi was great, but beware what you put in it as it can become slippy. The hotel services were very good and breakfast had a great variety of options. The hotel was just a short ride from La Caletta where there are a good selection of restaurants of good quality, and being outside the main centre getting out and about was very easy as you are not far away from a motorway connecting road, but also very near the beaches.

We stayed at Regency Country Club with our two children and they absolutely loved it. The hotel has a big pool suitable for all ages as well as a small side pool for tiny tots. Our kids only wanted to play in the pool! There is a kids club too and the staff really know how to look after the kids. The hotel is not near a beach so if your expectations are to be in a hotel where you can walk to the beach then this is not the right hotel. The hotel is located slightly uphill with good views but will cost you about 8-10 Euros in a taxi one way. There is a bus though. We had a rented car so this was not an issue for us and my advice would be you rent a car in Tenerife, unless you plan to be in only one location. The major areas of interest, Siam Park, Loro Park, Mt. Teidei etc. are relatively distant from each other so you will be better off with a car hire. So if you do have a car, this hotel is quite convenient. The hotel staff are brilliant. We have never been disappointed with Spanish hospitality but the staff at Regency Country club stood out; mainly the restaurant staff. Very friendly, accommodating, always a smile on their faces and above all greeting us with pleasure every time - we couldn't have asked for more. A slight criticism of the hotel is the food could be better. We were on half board for 10 days and the breakfast buffet was exactly the same daily. There was not much variety for breakfast and dinner so this was a slight disappointment, that aside all good.
