Tenerife Hotel recommendations

[JuniorD]

The OH has decided we should go to Tenerife for a week in April. Unfortunately she has left me with the responsibility of finding suitable accommodation.

When it comes to hotels she'd be quite critical (i.e. major pain the arse) and so we generally have to go 5 Star to mitigate the chances of her gurning for the duration.

Initial thoughts were for this place: Sandos San Blas Nature Resort & Golf, San Miguel de Abona.

One review mentioned it being quite a windy place so already she has her reservations

I know you are a well-travelled and discerning lot so any advice, thoughts or recommendations would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

We stayed further West on the Costa Adeje in the Sheraton La Caleta. Much quieter area although we were there about 5 years ago so it's prob a bit busier now but it's away from the masses. Also Bahia del Duque is nice so I'm told.

Check this place out - 5* hotel facilities but individual villas as rooms.

We've just come back from Tenerife. We stayed in Puerto de la Cruz in the north to get away from the wind. On Saturday, we drove back to the airport via the west and south coasts. It was less cloudy, but incredibly windy by comparison. It would have driven me insane

Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated.

s2sol, where did you stay if you don't mind me asking?

[s2sol]

We stayed at the Monopol, which was only just acceptable. I think it's a 3 star. I'd say the rooms are 2 star standard. Good location for us, though

Reveron Plaza in Los Cristianos > http://hotel-reveron-plaza.h-rez.com/

Rooftop pool that I *think* is adults only plus it has a gym and spa. Its a 10 min taxi ride to Siam Park which is an amazing water park. 1 min walk to the beach, there are 3 very good tapas restaurants also within a minutes walk.

Click the 360deg tour then when it shows the restaurant view click the 'menu' button and then 'next view' to see the rooms, pool etc.

Always stayed here historically.

As with all women though, if they are going to be fussy - why give us the job of finding somewhere in the first place?

Thanks all for your responses, much appreciated.

I've stayed here a couple of times and I love it. The rooftop pool is a lovely little sanctuary

I've seen kids in the pool but the hotel doesn't encourage families.

The only thing to watch is rooms directly under the restaurant can be noisy when they set out for breakfast.

I'd still go a third time...

I think there are just 2 quality hotels in whole Tenerife: Bahia del Duque & Abama.
I personally prefer Abama (stayed there 3 times) however Bahia del Duque is also nice

Proper Tenerife, I've stayed there, whilst 2 star at best it's a great central location in Puerto and I think the oldest. Lovely touch putting fresh flower petals on the steps each day. Just don't stay anywhere near the centre during any of the festivals though! Unless you go to bed at 5am with the rest of the revellers.

I prefer the north as only 5percent of the tourists at best are Brits, Botanico?
