    For a 4 star hotel, it definitely fails for me. I've been in other 4 star hotels which almost felt 5 star, whereas this felt more like a 3 star. Let me cover the positives - the entrance to the hotel is open and airy with a view of the pool beyond. There's someone at the reception to greet and get you settled in. The dining area is large and there is outdoor seating too, although we never sat there as it was cold in the morning. Food options for breakfast and dinner are decent enough. The hotel was clean and there was parking available close to the hotel most days. Now the not so good - somehow we found ourselves in the middle of a strike which meant that during our 4 day stay, the room was not cleaned for 2 days because of lack of staff. So not so great, but our towels were changed. Next the room - it was really bland, not even a cushion to lift it up. Very very basic. The kettle's lead was so short that we had to put it on the ground so it could reach the socket. We did have a sea view, but the sliding doors would not close fully so we had a very loud hissing noise of the sea. Someone came in to have a look but said this is a problem in most of the rooms. What?! right? So we found a way that reduced the hissing by opening the sliding doors a little more. Which brings me to the final point - there was a hotel opposite ours which played really loud music all through the day and night (until 11pm) which we could hear in our rooms. I guess if you're up late it's fine, but we usually were trying to sleep by that time, and it was just really annoying. So either you have the hissing sound or the music from the hotel - can't say which is worse. I wouldn't stay in this hotel again for all the reasons above. In terms of location, it's not close to the popular beaches, but still there is a buzz in the evenings. There's a supermarket opposite the hotel which is great to get water etc..(tap water is not suitable for drinking). When the room was not cleaned for the 2nd day in a row, we went to have a word with them..which is probably why they removed the 2 glasses of wine that we had during our stay from the invoice.

    Honest review, I liked it here, thought the hotel was great needs a little updating here and there, but what hotel doesn't. The location is great especially for golfers (I'm not) just wanted a few days of sun and peace which we got from here. Close to airport, bus transfer really quick and easy. Straight to the door. Breakfast had everything u could wish for, really nice. We used the spa which was really good too and a fair price.

    We had a great time staying at Hotel Tenerife Golf and Sea View! The view from the hotel was absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious throughout our stay. Although we didn’t get the chance to enjoy all the facilities since we were busy exploring the island, it was definitely a great place to come back to and relax.

    Our room was beautiful and spacious, we had a great view over the sea and beautiful sunrises and lighting. The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. The mountings in the bathroom were old and very used. Breakfast was ok: it was plenty but felt like canteen kitchen food.

    Friendly, relaxed, and clean hotel that is situated in a fantastic location on the edge of Golf de Sur resort. This is the second time I have been and recommend it for those wanting a quiet (winter sun) getaway. The staff are excellent and always happy to help. Rooms are a bit dated (mainly the bathroom), but this doesn't detract from the whole experience. The beds are very comfortable. The hotel has won sustainability awards, which is important to me as I want to support businesses that are making this effort.
