went with a group of friends that wanted plenty to do nearby but not on top of the main strip. great if you want a cheap getaway. the rooms could do a lick of paint but were clean as was the pool, bar and reception areas. lets face it, you get what you pay for with holidays and for what we paid we were pleasantly suprised!! The waterpark is nearby and there is the fantasic 'lazymans beach' just down the road, a quieter beach that is surrounded by cafes, shops and resturants and also a market. as we also wanted to enjoy the nightlife, we found this was only a short taxi ride away.
The activities in the hotel were fab offering scuba diving etc. even though we went in november. They were refurbishing whilst we were there but this didnt spoil our holiday! swimming pool was lovely. However i could imagine this would be extremely crowded in the school holidays. Just bear in mind if you are travelling with a family that playa de las americas is popular for the veronicas strip so dont expect people not to be trailing into the hotel at the small hours of the morning.
i am hoping to go back next year, not as a group of friends but with my partner and young daughter. Really enjoyed it and ideal for a 'do as much or as little as you like' holiday.
