Tenerife Hotel Guide. Catalonia Hotels in Tenerife, Spain

Staff were friendly. Rooms were clean. Rooms need a bit of cosmetic touch to earn a higher rating. Good location overlooking a bit of lago martianez and near the hub of activity (early sleepers and light sleepers may have some issues). I got a decent price, so I felt it was fair value. If I paid peak season price, I might feel differenty. I did not eat at the restaurant. I stayed at both H10 Tenerife Playa and Catalonia Las Vegas for two days each. So my rating comes from that experience. Catalonia is a decent hotel and I would stay here again. I paid the same price for both hotels and under that circumstance I would choose the H10 for sure as it was one level above in most categories including it's view of lago martianez from the room.

The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the beach, but it has its own pool. Overall, it offers value for money, as it is not expensive. We had gone for half board (breakfast and dinner included) and the food was quite tasty with a lot of different options. However, the dining room can get quite hot and staff are not always willing to open windows to let fresh air in. A lot of British tourists stay here, not always the most refined type and some of them can be quite rowdy, especially around the pool area. It's a 15 minute taxi drive from Tenerife Sur airport (it costs around 26 euros), so it's well connected. My main gripe about the room is the fact that there is only 1 plug to charge your phone and indeed hidden inside a cupboard. They should definitely add more plugs, especially next to beds. Other than that, the room offered all amenities you'd expect: TV with English, French, German, Italian and Spanish channels, A/C, complimentary toiletries and towels, etc. Our room overlooked the sea (which is a 10 minute walk), but others overlook the pool or the main road. The hotel staff was quite friendly, but some of them didn't speak English well at all. The sunbeds in the pool area can get occupied from the morning, so sometimes it can be tricky to find a spare sunbed. Playa de las Americas is not a very large resort anyway, so everything is within a 15 minute walking distance. The coach station is also close, maybe a 10 minute walk. The beaches are not bad, but the water is cold.

third time here they seem to have upgraded it staff making a big effort and everything very clean.
