We spent 2 weeks here in august a first family holiday abroad.Having missed a whole night sleep before arriving we were then dissapointed when we opened our apartment door.It was really run down and in desperate need of an overall makeover.The fridge was not working properly and very smelly.The washing machine did not spin properly so had to wring the clothes out outside.Lighting very dull and could hardly see in bathroom even with lights on.The rooms were very hoy and was difficult to sleep at night as no air con or fans installed.Our toaster was completely melted all along the top.The best part about apartment was the outside space with table and chairs.After a couple of days workman began working above us from early in the morning.Banging walls,taking windows and doors out and general noise of builders at work.There was no advance warning of this on the internet or when you check in. Whilst it is obvious they are modernising some notice would have been nice when booking.Half the apartments were empy where they had been gutted for refurbishment.The nightly entertainment was appalling.Whilst we have 3 kids ourselves we did not wish to hear kids on karaoke during the night.The bar shut at 11-11.30pm and was very expensive for drinks.We didnt dare to eat there and felt sorry for people that were all inclusive.One of the pools which happened to be a kids pool was closed,the pool we used only opened until 6pm.The mini golf was more like a mini jungle.we played table tennis which you had to pay for use of bats and ball but when we got them the bats were falling to pices and the rubber was hanging of or missing.We purchased our own bats and ball in a local shop for3 euro 95 and used them.Lucky for us this place did not ruin our holiday as we travelled out everyday to see things and different places.However if the place had been nicer and had entertainment in the nights we would have spent more time there.We never complained but probably should have.At least 2 familys that we know of complained and demanded to move elsewhere and they were.Their thompson rep said that she was embarrassed to drop them there.Tenerife is a lovely place and we did enjoy our holiday but the apartments were a let down.
