Marylanza Suites & Spa Resort

We went to this hotel to join family who were already there. We were impressed with our greeting at the reception and were efficiently given keys to our very comfortable room. The restaurant was well laid out and the food and drink were very good. Excellent coffee could be obtained in the lobby bar. The evening entertainers ranged from amateurish to excellent ( Thank you Sue ). Moreover, I have to say that the staff were completely helpful in every way, thank you very much. It is also in a very convenient place to get to Los Cristianos and Las Americas. 9 out of 10.

Well, our stay at marylanza was a great one, after reading mixed reviews I was quite unsure on the hotel, but we had already booked at this point and did not know what to expect. If you are easy going and aren’t expecting the world you will for sure enjoy this hotel, some of the reviews are really petty and did not resonate with our stay, each to their own I guess. On arrival we were greeted with a welcome drink and given a bag of snacks due to arriving late, but planning ahead we did bring our own snacks for that night as we had read that the snacks provided were not of great standard. After that we lugged our cases around the hotel trying to find the room which was pretty annoying after arriving late at night and struggling to find the room in the large complex, nevertheless the room was beautiful, spacious and clean, did not look as dated as the previous images due to change in bedsheets which I feel made a great difference. Food- The food was great, always something different to choose from, I will say the selection during the meals is not huge but what is there is really tasty and of good standard. I enjoy the self service for drinks during meal times as there is no waiting for drinks. The deserts were tasty for the first day or two but became overly repetitive serving air like boring sponges at every evening meal. I think the choice of sweet is much better at breakfast than it is in the evening. I stuck to rice pudding which was lovely, but even so there’s only so much of that you can eat. On the plus side this meant that I did not over indulge on the deserts which my waistline was great-full for. There is a dress code during dinner but men are fine to wear smart shorts, to be quite honest people were dressed in sport shorts and flip flops and that seemed to be ok, but I do enjoy dressing up for the evening and sometimes felt over dressed. Drinks- The cocktails as frequently commented on were not great, the first one I had tasted like cleaning product. This opinion formed on the first night in the entertainment room. However I decided to try them in the lobby later on in the holiday, which I would say actually tasted nice enough to drink. I was recommend multiple drinks by the lady at the lobby bar which were all really tasty and she was lovely, I didn’t catch her name. I noticed that the soft drinks had been upgraded to brands such as Fanta and coke but I am skeptical if they actually are, however I enjoyed them either way. Location- location was great for us, about a 10 minute walk to the main strip in playa de las americas and a taxi only being €5 back for when your feeling too hot to walk back. Entertainment- We only watched the entertainment on two different occasions which were a group of men singing, they were very good singers but generally looked like they were waiting for a bus, and a magic act which we could not watch it all due to how loud the music was, I am 20 and don’t mind loud music but not in a sociable area like so, it was just unnecessarily loud. Would not say the entertainment was of great standard, although I am yet to find a hotel that I have thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, I suppose I cant comment fully as we decided to walk down to playa de las Americas strip to meet with friends at another hotel most nights. Pool- The no reserving sun beds rule was not upheld, and as my partners and i are late risers we could never get a spot until late afternoon, some days we would sit at the pool bar and see towels covering beds that were not used for a good few hours which is quite unfair. This didn’t bother us too much as we prefer to go out in the days. I can’t imagine how the rule could be upheld, as there would just be a mass of towels dumped? Further points- I would recommend hiring a car, we rented a car from Europa cars which was a shop situated in front of the H10 Conquistador hotel right by the beach of playa de las americas. We had pre booked before we got to Tenerife but upon stumbling across this company it cost €80 less than the one we had booked. As a result of renting a car we were able to travel around the island and a boat trip at los gigantes was a great experience with beautiful views.
