    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    This place comes with a trio of pools, plus the beach and restaurants are within walking distance.

    These hillside apartments are tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and a dramatic mountain backdrop. Five minutes’ walk away is a black-sand beach, while 10 minutes on foot gets you to restaurants.

    Tranquillity is the reason guests love it here. There’s a trio of pools, including one relaxation number. And in the evenings, the buffet restaurant takes care of dinner, and it’s followed by occasional live music.

    Close to the end of the runway! Average food, place could do with an uplift/revamp. Staff very friendly.

    Las Olas is a few minutes away from the airport, you see and hear the aircraft after takeoff ( Rwy 18 ) bearing right while being at the pool or sitting outside the dining room. The reception staff are very friendly same goes for the dining room staff. The complex is clean and well maintained but a bit outdated in some areas, a revamp wouldn’t go amiss. Our room had a sea view as all the rest. The room doesn't have aircon and the mini flat screen tv with poor sound quality is 'out' when much larger flat screens are available for little money these days. There are no English tv programs, only two English speaking news channels are available. The evening buffet is average to good in choice and quality, same goes for the breakfast - maybe this is standard for a Spanish 4 star rating - i don’t know?. The pool is large and there is a Life Guard in attendance - he makes sure that the guests don’t lay their towels out to reserve sun beds in advance. Free wi-fi is available but we experienced on the third floor a very poor signal, it was frustrating when the browser wasn’t working not to mention trying to stream anything, this went on for four out of seven days! Our balcony has a table and three chairs and also a washing ‘rail’ to dry your things.The place is fine if you don’t want any ‘ nightlife ‘ because there are no pubs etc in the area, it’s more geared up for the elder generation or for those who prefer to go walking/trekking and want a bit of piece and quiet. The area seems to be mainly frequented by Germans,Dutch and Spanish visitors. In close vicinity you'll find a small supermarket and a few restaurants and not to mention a few car rentals.
    Clean, tidy hotel and surrounds. Apartments spacious but slightly dated

    Comfortable hotel close to excellent beaches though access from the hotel grounds slightly inconvenient. Food ok, quiet bar slightly devoid of character. Apartment very spacious with lovely view out to sea only spoilt by slight road noise from the main road outside the bedroom. Full marks to the staff who were always polite, happy and smiley.
    Excellent Stay, better than expected

    Great room, clean and spacious. We were expecting less given some other reviews, but realised that the room had been re-furbished as others were during our stay. Food was very good, location was excellent, and an hours stroll by the sea to Santa Cruz or regular bus service. Staff could not have been more friendly. Very near to the airport, but other than a few quiet propeller planes a few jets a day around mid-day which cause no noise issues at all. We really liked our 2 week stay here, and hope to return. Unbelievable value for money for a holiday in paradise, but we have unusually hot weather the first week, which enabled lazy mornings sunbathing on our football pitch sized terrace. This helps create paradise. Not all the terraces were as big, and we did have an apartment, but no easy rule to help you get the best.
    Overrated 4 * hotel

    Duration of stay: 20th Nov. '18 - 1st Dec '18. Apartment: The furniture in the lounge is in need of replacement and the lightng was very dim. The bed was actually quite comfortable, so no complaints there at least! The kitchen untensils were the bare minimum, there was no washing up liquid, no cloths or tea towels. Balcony view was good, 2 chairs and a table. Outside the apartment was a wasps nest which was only removed on our last day, admittedly they didn't cause any real problems but none the less a little unsettling. Restaurant: Breakfast was reasonable although there wasn't a huge choice. Evening meals edible but a lot of the meat was rather tough (lamb chops extremely chewy!) or fatty, most of the fish was ok. Many of the vegetables were overcooked and some of the desserts were rather unhealthy looking. The staff were very polite and helpful which was certainly a bonus. Swimming pool: Absolutely fine! Clean and long enough to do some lengths in. Gym: According to the website a "fully equipped gym" is available. Unfortunately this was not the case, there was not a bike or cross trainer to be seen, only several aparatus for muscle strengthening excercises, mostly beginning to rust! I believe the website also advertises a solarium, this doesn't seem to be on offer any longer. The nearest beach is about 600 metres away, there are several cafés and a couple of supermarkets nearby. In hindsight I would have only booked bed and breakfast and not stayed as long!!!
    Two weeks of late sun in October

    Arrived late to the hotel but reception staff still welcoming and efficient. Soon found our room, high floor and sea view areasonabl, service is good and the setting lovely. Next day down for an excellent buffet breakfast and checked out the pool and stuff. Larger pool isn't heated but still usable. Small pool heated and nice for a quick swim. Pool bar offers good food and for a hotel, very reasonably priced drinks. The walk into Santa Cruz was easy enough, nice enough views except the middle bit through a small industrial estate. The capital is well worth the walk with plenty of good restaurants and bars . If you're feeling idle the bus is about 11/2 euros. Los Cancajos, where the hotel is situated has more than enough bars and restaurants to keep you happy and all are reasonably priced. Try them all, they're all good. However if you want nice and Spanish go to the little bar attached to the hotel on the main road. Easy to find, up between the blocks of the hotel,turn left and it's 20 yards on your left. Entertainment in the hotel is ok but it's not really my thing. Again prices are very reasonable. Getting around can be done by bus, but driving is a doddle with good roads around the whole island. Plenty of places to visit and 4 to 5 days will give you plenty of time to see most things. Do all of the tourist traps, this time they're worth it. Really enjoyed our stay
