Be Live Experience Playa la Arena

We have just had another amazing holiday in your beautiful hotel. We were 2 couples staying for 11nights. The rooms are very clean with an over bath shower and a separate walk in shower. No kettle but you do get a fridge and the bed is huge. It's 2 singles pushed together so make sure you lock the wheels under the bed! The main restaurant has a different theme every night and there is always plenty to choose from. There is a snack bar which serves burgers, sausages, salads, cakes etc. through the day. There is also a new tapas bar with trays of lovely sandwiches and nibbles which is open for a couple of hours in the evening. The bars are the snack bar which is open till about 6p.m the piano bar until midnight and the main entertainment hall open until midnight. The entertainment is a bit hit and miss but the Dragon show was good. We spent a lot of time in the piano bar where they have a singer or musician on until about 11p.m. There are 3 pools. A baby pool next to the water slide, the large entertainment pool with all the activities and a quieter pool. This isn't an adults pool but doesn't allow inflatables so it's a lot quieter. There is an infinity pool being built at the front of the hotel but apart from seeing the crane it didn't bother us at all, barely any noise. We never had a problem getting 4 sunbeds together even if we went to the pool in the afternoon. The black sand beach is only across the road with a few shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk from the hotel. This is only a quiet resort with one nightclub but enough for us. We spent a lot of time in Paparazzi (turn right when you leave the front gate near the beach) We had a couple of breakfasts here, watched the football and went for drinks. We also took the coastal path to Alcala which takes about 50 minutes. If you go on a Monday there is a market on and the taxi back is only a few euros. The hotel is constantly being cleaned all day throughout. All the staff work very hard and are friendly and we had a good laugh with some. Especially the bar staff in the piano bar. Check in/out We're both quick and we managed to get 1 room as a late check out. You can't always get this as the hotel is very busy and you can only request on the morning of departure. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and cannot wait to return in May. Thank you!

Spent a week here beginning of December 2018. Hotel is lovely and staff are really nice. The animation team are friendly and worked hard. Not being picky but the food wasn't brilliant. The sunbeds round the pool are plentiful however you are like sardines packed in a tin. I think it would be better to space them out a bit as you dont get any privacy. Everything is spotless the surrounding area has a few shops and bars and the bus stop is just down the road. We went to costa Adeje market in the bus 7 euros return. We had a room on the 7th floor overlooking the pool and sea. There is a shop in the hotel selling suncream and knick knacks and everyday by the restaurant there is a different stall selling clothes and jewellery etc. Entertainment is low key, animation team and a singer In the piano bar. Overall we had a very relaxed week weather was fab between 21to 27 everyday.

Our second trip to this great hotel which again it was lovely to see the impressive entrance which has had all the seating areas upgraded since we came before. Staff again very helpful from reception to cleaners and maintenance. Food so plentiful with so much choice we ended eating far too much again! Came in April last time so nice to see the temperature once again hitting 24-30 each day at this time of year. One day a bit more cloud but still warm -didn't need all the cardigans I took for evenings. Entertainment was very good in the lounge bar each night and the two show s we saw we really enjoyed. Walking along the coast to Alcala (left out of front gate) has been improved with an excellent walkway instead of gravel now and easy to get bus back for under 3 euro for the two of us and we saw they are improving the coast walkway to Los Gigantes which will give more views of the coast. Staff have done a terrific job with the Christmas decorations and luckily we got the chance to see them lit up the night before we left. All in all another great holiday.
