everybodys different scottishmum its just it was a great hotel before it went all inc still gets good reviews from people who perhaps havent been before so have nothing to compare it with hope you have a good time come back and let us know

Despite our concerns at the standards having slipped I must agree with broadfields in that we actually did have a good holiday and many other guests did also. We actually travelled with 4 other families (on our recommendation!!) so we had a fun time, even though we were constantly thinking, "I hope they like it here". However, there were loads of guests like ourselves who had been when it was excellent and would not return. Maybe our problem is that we've been totally spoilt at the Bahia Principe and also the nearby Melia Jardines Del Teide, for the similar amount of money paid out to go to the Ocean Resort.

Thanks for your replies. I've been to a couple of the first choice holiday villages which have been great, so I'm definitely going to try NOT to compare with those and take this holiday as it comes. A holiday is what you make it too after all!

Thanks again

Have left a review of this place for anyone thats interested. Wasn't really impressed with this hotel much at all I'm afraid.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

dont know if i would say very poor but probebly 3 star at most the ocean resort is meant to be 4 star so a bit unfair in my eyes. I have stayed there twice and thought they were fine but having also stayed in main hotel 4 times i do prefer the main hotel

:tup thanks do not mind has long as they are clean, what did you think of the food and the Facilities of the hotel
:) Janet

the food was fine plenty off it and there is always something to take your fancy hotel overall is great if you have kids all the better as most things aimed at keeping them entertained ie the nighttime shows the bar also shuts at 11.45 prompt again if with kids thats fine but wee tad early in my opinion but as the beer is terrible its no bad thing i drank the vodka with fanta lemon as coudnt face the beer hope you enjoy im sure you will il will be in the hotel on 5th july to visit a friend who works behind the bar will let you know of any other changes since my last visit
Reply
:) hi thanks just like to know if there's any bars near hotel because second week of our holiday my brother coming over for aweek and he has teenagers so 11.45 might be a bit early for them
thanks Janet ;)

A reply to Janet Beales

If you go onto page 3 of the Tenerife forum you will find another discussion about ocean palace/resort with loads of info.
I was a regular visitor to ocean palace/resort but will go no more since it turned A.I.
We went last summer and it has nosedived since going A.I.
If you have already booked I would recommend upgrading to a suite if you have not already.

Another point worth noting is that I have just received a first choice brochure for 2009 and the ocean resort is no longer in. I wonder if first choice have dropped this hotel for 2009 due to the amount of complaints received ? Or might there be another reason, like the hotel being refurbished ?

:) thanks for the information i have not booked with first choice but with youtravel alot cheaper than first choice they are getting back to me regards the accommodation we have booked
thanks janet :que
