We stayed at Hotel Tenerife Golf and Sea View for one night, just before departing the island. Here's a small list of pros and cons that come to my mind.
Pros:
-Location! Very close to Southern airport, so it is ideal place to stay if you don't want to travel too far! Taxi took around 15 minutes to and from the airport.
-Staff. The staff were incredibly nice and hospitable, they were friendly and did almost everything with a smile. Special thanks goes to Nuria, who gave us a larger room! Also, the gentleman who worked reception during 12.4. at around 7am was friendly. He had made sure, that our breakfast packs were ready and ordered us a taxi, which arrived almost immediately.
-The view and the sundeck. The view was incredible and the sundeck was quite large to catch some rays.
Now for the things that we weren't completely happy about:
-Overall cleanliness. On the surface the hotel seems really beautiful and well kept, but dig a little deeper and it gets worse. Most of the things were either dirty or in need of fixing. For example, the jacuzzi in our bathroom was really crusty and didn't seem too inviting, surfaces in the pool area were kind of dirty and unpleasant to look at and the surfaces in our room were full of scratches and scuff marks. Also, it seemed that the lobby roof had some water damage to it and in the process, damaged the pool table.
-Moldy room? While I'm not an expert, it seemed that our room had mold in it. I got a headache immediately in our room and the room had a funky smell to it. I had to turn the AC off, which seemed to be the source of the smell and air out the room. My symptoms disappeared during the same day we checked out.
-Food. The food from the bar was really good (I had the club sandwich, which was fresh and very tasty), but the dinner buffet was so-so. Either kind of bland or too salty, was kind of disappointed about it.
So all in all, seemingly beautiful hotel with very nice staff at a great location but in need of renevation and fixing. For one night it was a good place to stop at, but I wouldn't stay there for longer than that. I wish it was better kept and looked after.

Good spot for the San Blas nightlife. I understand it's going through a bit of an overhaul which is great news. That said, it was impeccably clean, the communal areas spotless, and the housekeeping team were brilliant.
Once the refurbishment is completed, it will be something special I'm sure!

Honest review, I liked it here, thought the hotel was great needs a little updating here and there, but what hotel doesn't. The location is great especially for golfers (I'm not) just wanted a few days of sun and peace which we got from here. Close to airport, bus transfer really quick and easy. Straight to the door. Breakfast had everything u could wish for, really nice. We used the spa which was really good too and a fair price.

Our room was beautiful and spacious, we had a great view over the sea and beautiful sunrises and lighting. The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly.
The mountings in the bathroom were old and very used. Breakfast was ok: it was plenty but felt like canteen kitchen food.

Me & my husband had a lovely 3 night stay here, staff were so friendly especially front desk, shops and restaurants across the road and the pool/sun lounge area was perfect.
We only had breakfast at the hotel but it was lovely, lots on offer and never seemed too busy so no waiting for any special orders that where cooked fresh in front of you.
I was a little disappointed as I had paid for an upgraded room but don’t feel I got that, although the room was still very big & nice so didn’t bother saying anything to reception.
I wouldn’t say it’s a hotel I’d take my children too but for a couple who just want to escape from everyday crazy life it was perfect 😍 thank you
