Better than expected!
As a couple in our 40s without kids, we wanted a relaxing holidays by the beach and pool without the fuzz of loud music, bars and drunk people as you can find more in Puerto del Carmen beach area.
- Pros:
an upgrade upon arrival, spa service onsite, beautiful view on the beach from the room, comfortable beds and modern furniture, AC, walkable to the front beach. Clean and quiet. Breakfast buffet included. Compare to Puerto del Carmen, the beach of Los Pocillos was very wide, clean and quiet which made enjoyable the walks along the sea.
As we wanted quiet holidays the clients were mainly retired people or very young family with only limited amount of kids present in the hotel.
- Cons:
no regrets in not paying for half-board (£10/day or £15 for one-off). The buffet is good enough for breakfast, fits very much English/German consumers with some flavourless eggs, salami, fruits and sausages.
As per the other island in the canary island, good restaurants are rare finds, but there was still options near the hotel within a 10min walk distance. As per supermarkets for essentials.
The pool can get busy in sunny days and people tended to pick their lounger in the morning by leaving their towels, even while away and against the hotel policy.
