We have stayed here before and it was superb. Now it has gone Adult only that appealed as we appreciate the lack of children now ours have grown up.

We stayed in the Suite on the 7th Floor, which was set out delightfully. Seperate bath and walk in shower. 10 ft Bed Ooh all my own space.

Our room was clean and spick and span, but the Kids room showed its age. It is being refurbished at the moment. The self catering block has gone. All apartments are being upgraded to Junior Suite Standard.

Its location is central to LC and everything is easily reachanle by Taxi or Car hire. The staff could not do enough to help.

Take your booking brochure with you as facilities do differ as to who you book with.

There is Free Aqua Aerobics, Yoga and Tai Chi 3 days a week. there are now 4 pools imcluding the Naturist Area on the 7th Floor.

The Old Manager and Ents Manager both left 5 weeks ago, so it is struggling for direction and its image. The previous Ents Manager made the shows his own, professionally run day and night.

The On site Supermarket has been shut, and Bar Prices are quite steep.

Would we go again, yes but booking direct to save a Third on costs.

I was a little apprehensive about staying in this hotel after reading quite a few negative reviews. However, myself and my partner had a very enjoyable holiday here!

Upon arrival the reception staff were friendly and quickly checked us in, we also arranged a safety deposit box and were each given a room card.

The most disappointing part of the hotel was the decor in the rooms. We were both initially disappointed with our room when we first entered as it appeared very dark and dull. The lights were not very bright and the room was quite gloomy. However, we soon got used to this, and really the room was only for sleeping in. The room was VERY clean. The maids did an excellent job each day and were very thorough. We did hear other guests complaining about their rooms smelling of smoke, but we did not have this problem.

The hotel meals were cooked very nicely. At breakfast time fried eggs and bacon would be cooked freshly in front of you, and in the evening the main meat would also be cooked fresh. I greatly enjoyed breakfast each day, there was a great deal of choice and it was all cooked to a high standard. Evening meals were not so good. Although everything was cooked nicely, the choices available were very odd! It was difficult to make a meal out of some of the choices. The choice of potato was quite disappointing, it was often chips or nothing. The waiters were very friendly.

We were aware that the hotel was on a hill and this was not a problem for us. It was a good 15 minute walk down to the front and then at least another ten minutes round to the main beach. This wasn't a problem, but some nights it was a pain having to trek back up to the hotel! We walk quite fast and could walk down the hill in about eight minutes (very fast walking!) During the day there is a free bus to the beach, however this only has 13 seats! Also do not believe the timetable in the hotel, the bus always left before the time it said (or maybe it was late and leaving after?!) Only the British people seemed to queue (same with the lifts in the hotel) other nationalities would push to get onto the bus first, so be prepared to stand you ground or you won't get on!

We didn't stay in and watch the entertainment as the bar always smelt very smoky. However, there were many things advertised- parrot shows, snake shows, ABBA tribute nights, bingo, flamenco dancing.... there seemed to be a lot going on!

Overall we had a very nice holiday here. There was building work going on which we had been told about, but we barely noticed! Sometimes whilst lying by the pool you could hear drilling but it was really nothing to worry about at all! If the rooms are improved this hotel will be much better as all other aspects of it are lovely. The pools are very nice.

By the way- although advertised as adults only, there were children at the hotel. There weren't that many, but if you visit the spa pools next door there are a lot there!

The Paradise Park hotel is an excellent holiday destination. The hotel was very clean (rooms cleaned every day) and the staff were very friendly. Our room was nice with the usual facilities, but we had a room at the rear of the hotel which gave us a rather dull view of a big hill behind the hotel.

I would recommend that you try to get a 'pool view' room which gives you views over the coastline. The food in the buffet restaurant was very good, you always had a wide selection of dishes to choose from.

The hotel facilities were excellent and the pools were fantastic. The 'leisure park' part of the hotel was excellent with two great pools, a snack bar and sun terraces.

However you need vouchers to enter this part of the hotel as members of the public can also use these facilities for about 6 euros. We were given only three vouchers each upon arrival, but I'm not sure if you would be provided with any more free of charge if you used them up.

We didn't really watch any of the hotel entertainment, because we preferred to get out and about and go into Los Cristianos at night. However there seemed to be a lot of variety on offer.

The one downside that always appears on these message boards is the hotels location. It is about 1km up a rather steep hill leading down to the beach.

However myself and my girlfriend are very athletic people in our early twenties so we didn't really find it to be a problem.

However I can understand how it can be very tiring and difficult for elderly people, especially in the heat in the middle of the day.

There is a shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to Playa Las Vistas beach every hour until about 5pm, which was very useful.

Overall I would highly recommend this hotel, however I would advise caution about the hilly location. If you are happy to use the shuttle bus to get about during the day and stay in and around the hotel at night then this is the hotel for you.

I wish to warn anyone who stays at this hotel to be very careful when and where they park their hire car. We parked the car outside this hotel one evening to return next morning to find it had been towed away by police, costing us 90 euros to retrieve it from police compound in Las Americas.

There was no warning about this from the hotel, and they refused to take any responsibility, and we were offered no compensation, refund or apology. They removed only rental cars, not local ones (we were not the only unluckly guests)and when we returned to the hotel, we realised it was because they were tarmacing the road outside the hotel!

Apart from this`robbery` the hotel was not really up to a 4 star grade. We had requested a high floor room with a nice view and got neither(we discovered there are no nice views in this area, let alone the rest of Tenerife) and would never stay at this hotel or Tenrife again.

We Stayed half board in the apartments at Paradise Park and there is still building work going on round by the main pool which woke me up at 8am every morning.

The room we was given was very clean but very shabby and no way 4*. The view from our balcony was of of the not yet open shopping centre, on seeing this I politely complained to the hotel manager who told me he couldn't move us and to take it up with our rep. The shower leaked when we used it and spilled water all over the floor which ran right through into the hallway

The hotel complex itself is very nice indeed and I had a great time lying by the pool (the Laguna pool thats over the other side of the complex away from those very noisy builders)

The entertainment was 100% aimed at children and O.A.P'S in my opinion and had nothing for young lads of a 25 to 35 age range.

The location is a bit out of the way also but i enjoyed a nice slow walk down to and along the beach having a few drinks on the way to Las Americas.

I wasn't keen on the evening buffet as everything (even the veg) tasted of fish but I did pop down for breakfast most mornings which wast bad but wasn't great either.

So overall I would return there once the builders have left and I would be opting for self catering next time.

They also really need to do some decorating in the apartments.

We have just come back from what only can be described as the noisiest holiday we have ever had.

It was our second visit to this hotel and we were looking forward to a nice relaxing break as we enjoyed on the last visit two years ago.On checking in which was late evening we were very pleased with the short time this took and also the friendly manner of the staff who assured us we would be given a very nice room.

On reaching our room we were delighted' We had an end pool view and in the distance could see the sea and the boats in los cristianos harbour.Our happiness however was very shortlived.On waking we went down to breakfast which was very nice with lots of choice,we made our way back to our room to get in our swimmers for the day.

Then the realization of what this hotel
had in store for us made us look in disbelief at each other.Below our window was the apartment block which was obviously undergoing some major refurbishment the noise was bad so we closed the patio doors ,but we could still hear it.So we left pronto and headed for the pool to chill out,joke no2! The noise around the pool was absolutely atrocious , pneumatic drills going all day cement mixers,and dumper truck sirens beepiin non stop alongside hammering and banging! on the roof was more work being done they are doing work to the roof pool and are also putting a roof on the hotel to stop the rain getting in in the foyer! There were no safety nets outside and if the builders had of dropped something someone could of been seriously hurt.

Only two people we spoke to about all this had been informed of this work taking place ,which I can honestly say was something
you see on a holiday from hell' programme.

Even though we were offered another room 3 days into our holiday(A ROAD ROOM) which we declined due to the time it takes 2 move (ANOTHER WASTE OF AN AFTERNOON) we felt it was only part of the problem, thou an apology wouldnt have gone amiss.

This hotel overall is pretty good,the rooms are in need of refurbishing but are being done at the moment (a few at a time)they are upgrading this hotel to a 5star hopefully by next summer.

So if your thinking of going make sure you check that theyve finished the work before you book.

I have just returned from this hotel and can say I would not go again or at least until the building work has been completed.

The apartments which we stayed in were ok the cleaning service was very good and was most days. The decor is poor and in need of a major upgrade and was not of the 4* grade we booked and paid for.

The pool area is great for the kids, but not very relaxing with drilling and cement mixers etc going all day around you not something we were told about when booking.

The hotel is a little far out but the hotel does lay on a bus to the beach which we did use. Taxis were cheap up and down the hill to the main resort so this shouldn't cause to many problems.

Drinks in the hotel are very expensive so we drank out most evenings, and to buy your own for the apartment is cheap. I would imagine next year when the complex is adult only it would be good.

Well, all the bad reviews we read before going where I think for the Self Catering side of the complex. We stayed at the Hotel itself, and found it very nice indeed. Yes, the rooms are a little dated, but are very clean and there is a very good maid service every day.

The food was exceptional I'd say. Me and my girlfriend wanted for nothing. Steak, Sword Fish, Pork loins, Chicken Fillets, everything you could wish for and more. Breakfast's were just as good too, with proper sausages, eggs, toast, tea. Id suggest going to the local shop for decent milk though, unless you like Steri.

The entertainment was watchable and sometimes even very good, but you can always stroll down the hill into town.

Whoever calls it heart attack hill must be quite unfit. Only the last few yards to the hotel where steep.

Only moans we had really, was the noise from the road, which we could hear quite badly because our patio door wouldn't shut, but thats our fault for not asking for a move. Also, most of the rooms are offset from each other, so next doors toilet is in the middle of your room (if you see what I mean) and when they flush their toilet, it sounds like a harrier jump jet has just took off IN your room. And lastly, as all 4 star hotels, the drink prices are a bit steep. Pint of local beer is 350 Euros, and a cocktails about 450.

PS, the pools are VERY cold, but once you get going, there ok for a little swim.

There is a lot of renovation work going on, but we didn't really hear it on our side of the hotel, just cranes and diggers sometimes. The Hotel give you free passes to the Atlantic complex next door, which has LOADS of sunbeds, a very nice COLD pool, and an upper adults area with Jacuzzi's and eating area and small pool.

All in all, a VERY nice week relaxing. Don't let the moaners put you off

Have been to Paradise Park four times, all of our visits have been great. The last occassion there was building work and was a bit noisy but it didn't detract from the fact that we had a fantastic holiday.

Food was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful, entertainment was average but still enjoyable.

Location of the hotel is reasonable although it is at the top of a hill but if in good health it isn't an issue.

We will be returning shortly and I would highly recommend the Paradise Park to all.

We travelled to Tenerife for the first time with my sister and family(4 adults 2 in 20's and 3 teenagers in total)

On arriving at the Hotel we were impressed by our first impressions. The foyer looked very smart. We had booked to stay self catering in the apartment part of the complex and had read other reports saying that the accommodation was not up to scratch. My family had two 1 bed apartments. These were basement ones but as requested next door to our kids. On entering I thought they were a bit dark but the accommodation was very good with a very large bathroom, separate shower and toilet. The kitchen area was small but adequate and well equipped. (no microwave though). We didn't have a separate bedroom but again a very large area with two beds and a good seating area. The balcony was nice but stayed pretty shaded a good bit of the day.

The decor was traditional and tasteful with satellite TV(2 film channels, two news channels and one music channel in English. My sister's two apartments were three floors up and were of a different design. Separate bedroom, smaller bathroom and more of a living area. It was a brighter room being up high but it was definitely in need of a face-lift - we got the better deal!

The complex itself is well run with the staff being friendly and helpful.

The pool area was always clean and litter free.The rooms were cleaned 6 days and towels changed every day. Any small problems we had were dealt with quickly.

The main restaurant has a buffet menu and was very good.

The pool area has plenty loungers but filled up quickly. We tended to use the next door pool area(free to hotel guests)where there were plenty of loungers and the pool was good.

The entertainment team put a lot of effort into keeping the guests occupied and we even learnt to dance!(Latin American).

I cannot fault the hotel even 'cardiac hill' didn't seem that bad and there was always the courtesy bus if you didn't feel like walking.

All in all we were impressed with the complex, although the rooftop pool was closed when we were there we didn't feel we'd missed much.

We would like to go again.
