Marylanza Suites & Spa Resort

We had a great holiday at this hotel. Our room was spacious with a large balcony, however it never really got the sun but we were out most of the time. My two sons went to the kids club most days for an hour or two and when they had enough came and found us by the pool, they really enjoyed it. Food was great, lots of choice and tasty. Kids loved the entertainment, it is very armature but I think that’s what you expect. No complaints lovely very clean hotel with great staff.

Just come back from Tenerife where we enjoyed a relaxing 10 days. The Marylanza Suites and Spa were just as described in the tui brochure. The room we had (D106), was large with a separate lounge and kitchen area, bedroom and bathroom that had a bath and a shower. We had a terrace that backed onto the golf course but unfortunately we had no view of the golf course due to the bushes surrounding the terrace. If you want a view I would suggest asking for a room on a higher level. If you want sun late afternoon ask for a different room as it did not get to us,which in the middle of the summer might be a blessing. There was daily cleaning that we really appreciated. The food as the reviews I read, was of a good standard and varied. Lots of choice. As part of our package we were able to go into one of the specialty restaurants. We choose the Japanese and all I can say it “you need to go here”, great food and fun! The pool area was clean and tidy and never a problem getting a sunbed. We even saw pool attendants taking off towels that people had left on sunbeds early. Never seen that happen before. It was refreshing to see so thanks pool attendants for that. Entertainment was varied. Always live music in the hotel foyer that was pleasant easy listening. The shows were entertaining, some in a good way ( the three tenors), and some not so good. The animation team were friendly and interactive and there was loads to join in with if you wanted it - I only tried the aqua aerobics but that was good fun. It was only a fifteen minute walk down to the sea front and lots of shops and restaurants around if you want that sort of thing. We went with TUI and there were often several reps sitting in the hotel foyer. Quite what they did wasn’t clear other than to answer questions, the only time we saw them around the hotel was when there was a walk round the pool with one of them dressed in a bear suit! I would recommend the Marylanza if you want a central place to stay where everything you might want is available for you. Thank you to all of the staff that made it happen.

I would very much recommend this hotel .It was a return visit for my husband who stayed at this hotel some 12 years ago.Check in was quick and friendly however it would have been a nice gesture to help us with our luggage to our room.Very little initial information about certain procedures for eg how to obtain pool side towels .The hotel was impeccably clean and truly a credit to the cleaning staff.Our room was exceptionally spacious but slightly outdated .It would have been a perfect low expense gesture to have had tea bags/coffee/milk and sugar provided in the room together with some better toiletries (only basic soap bars and shower gel dispenser ).There were adequate supply of sunloungers and I was happy to see that the life guard staff thwarted the early risers from placing towels on to reserve.The food was exceptional !In fact we didn`t visit the a la carte restaurants because the buffet was so fabulous.I find it incredible that anyone could complain about the food.We were sadly a little unlucky with the weather and only had two days of sunshine.No comments about the evening entertainment because we went out exploring the local bars after dinner.We also visited the gym everyday but found the gym to be very much in need of updating their equipment.Hence the price of 80 euros for us both for one week far too expensive.I joined in two classes which were very well instructed.The squash court is good too but really should be free to guests who have brought along their own rackets.The hotel building itself is fabulous :nicely designed and rooms on only two floors.Although the hotel was situated in a quiet spot ,I found the nearby resort a weird combination of tacky together with expensive designer shops.The beaches looked a bit grotty too.However a great place to go for Winter sun and warmth.Opps almost forget to mention that the booze in the hotel was excellent and a particular mention to Kamilla in the lobby bar who always served with a smile.I would return to this hotel but only during the Winter/Autumn months.It was a very pleasant holiday and with a few minor tweaks this hotels ranking could be much higher.
