I wouldnt normally write a review as i feel that some people just like to complain for the sake of it,however dont stay at paradero appts. We stayed in paradero 2 which is in a good area if as soon as you walk out of th door you want harrasing by all the PR reps for the linekers bar and veronicas strip. At linekers youll be told you get 4 pints for ten euros which when you think about it seems a good deal. When you get in they take your money straight away then you get given two pints of watered down slop, not the 4 pints offered. Anyway back to paradero 2. When we arrived we were dropped off at hotel paradise de sol who knew nothing of our booking and told to go to caribe appts up the road, luckily at caribe they had us booked in and we thought 'yeah this looks sound', but no we were then put in a taxi and sent to paradero 2,this isnt the hotels fault it was our holiday providers fault they will tell you that paradero 2 is next door and never even mention checking in at caribe. The picture used to advertise paradero is also caribe appts pool area paradero 2 doesnt have one. You are welcome to use the pool at caribe but you will struggle to get a sun bed as its only a small area compared to size of hotel and the caribe residents obviously get there first. You will also find reception staff at caribe to be arrogant and rude. Paradero 2 appts are small and reletively clean, all having balconies so dont be tricked into paying more for one when booking. The road outside is never quiet especially noisey around 4am-7am, and if like us your appt is right at the side of the road some of the people still out at that time may find it amusing to ring your doorbell. We were there self catering but the kitchen facilities were basic there wasnt a kettle or a toaster. The cleaners were good seemed to be in everyday and will change towels whenever you require them. This again isnt hotels fault but on our last night i was pick pocketed by a spaniard claiming to be PR for a bar, luckily for him i had all the cash we had left and both our bank cards in my wallet (stupid i know). This left us with the total of 8.85euros to get thru to our flight home. Also in my wallet i had the appt keycard so we were locked out. After 3 trips to caribe for keys that worked we finally got in the room. The next morning i went up to caribe to find out if they had any info on our pick up time and transfer as i had a phone number for bus provider in tenerife but couldnt get thru and when i did understandbly they didnt speak english i asked receptionist at caribe if she could help and she told me it wasnt her problem i explained to her what had happened regarding having no money and needing to find out this tranfer info as i wouldnt be able to afford a taxi to the airport she just sat there and smirked at me and snapped that we had to be out of the appt by 12. After many phone calls i found out our transfer time of 15.40. So with no money and no means to get any we duly left the room at 12 as requested by the smirking little hitler at caribe, and sat by the side of the road with our bags until 16.00 when transfer finally picked us up. Dont book with low cost packages youll just be dumped at a resort with no on site rep and very unhelpful indian speaking staff when you ring for help and have to play a guessing game as to which hotel is yours as the shuttle bus drivers just stop and open the door. Will not be visiting again
