We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks at the height of season.
The food was excellent the menu was changed everyday and the hygiene standards were top class.
The pool area was cleaned every day and there were plenty of sunbeds to go around.
The reception staff were very helpful and had all sorts of tips for your holiday.
The rooms were cleaned and towels changed everyday you could also have your bedding changed everyday if you requested. We had a very bad rain storm on 1 day, most of the town was flooded and people couldn't get out of the hotel so they brought in the outdoor games and put on extra entertainment for the kids.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel and possibly our last.
The hotel has changed a little from our visit 2 years ago only in slight decor to the rooms and the location of the entertainment.
The food here is very good although some breakfasts were not great, there was also not a great deal of choice for the evening meals that said the food was extremely good and cooked to a very high quality.
The hotel is clean although we noticed some rubbish not cleared for 3 days which was not good but, not a major downfall.
Overall this is an excellent hotel, on arrival our air conditioning was not working and someone was sent up within 5 minutes to fix it.

We visited this hotel for the first time in 2002. We have since stayed in the Hotel Esmeralda and the Fanabe Costa Sur.
We found this hotel to be by far the best of the bunch. We have booked to go back to this hotel this summer.
The location is excellent, with easy access to three lovly beaches. There are plenty of fun pubs and resteraunts nearby.
The hotel offers superb food,allthough we did eat out on occassions as there are some great resteraunts near thotel & beach.
The staff were always very helpful and welcoming.

Just returned from Torviscas Playa this weekend and would highly recommend it.
Food fantastic, wide choice of salads, fruits, cheese, desserts. Meat/fish cooked freshly as you watch every evening. Eggs cooked freshly for you every morning whether its omelletes, fried, boiled etc.
Staff very friendly and helpful and very professional. Evening entertainment could have been a little better but there was something on every night from 9.30 to 10.30pm, usually flamenco, parrot show, entertainment team putting on shows like grease or chicago etc. and then just music playing until about midnight.
We were on the 3rd floor facing the road. It could be a little noisy on that side from the road but nothing that really bothered us. The room was exceptional, newly furnished and carpeted. It seems that the whole of the hotel rooms are being re furnished as we saw many new pieces of furniture being delivered during our stay. The room also had a fridge and a hairdryer in the bathroom. Maid service daily and thorough, they even made swans out of the towels and left them on our beds with sweets (nice touch).
I am definately going back next summer.
Age range of our party was 73,67,43,43,17,14 & 11 and we all loved it. Even my eldest daughter will be coming back with her friend next August as she loved it so much.
The only down side for me was the prices for the trips which in my opinion were very expensive with our tour operator First Choice, especially when you have got 3 children. I think it was about 49 euros for an adult and 22 euros for a child to go on a boat trip to see whales and dolphins. Try Admiral travel just down the road to the right of the hotel entrance, they were charging 29 euros for adults and 16 for children for a 3 hour catamaran trip to see the whales and dolphins. We didn't go on it but it was certainly a lot cheaper.

Just returned from a fortnight at this hotel (Half Board). What a lovely hotel. Excellent food plenty of choice as there was 2 veggies. Cleaners were brilliant they even made kissings swans out of your towels. Very large pool area and pool. Only had to get up at 8pm to put your towels out but would still get a bed at 11am.
Entertainment ok but only for an hour at night. We have a roadside room view found it to be abit noisy but not really the traffic it was the bar over the road.
Would recommend this hotel and will be going back very soon.

This was our 4th visit to the Toviscas Playa and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Hotel had just been refurbished to a good standard and very comfortable.
Food good with a variety for everyone.
Entertainment not to our liking but suited lots of holiday makers.
Ages in our party ranged from 50 - 18 and everyone enjoyed theirselves.
Pool area was brilliant with sunbeds for all although some holiday makers insisted on getting out there before 7am to put their towels out which wasn't necessary.
Location good with bars and clubs a short distance away for the younger members of the party.
A great holiday had by all and 4 of us went back there in September 2005.
Would definately go back to Toviscas Playa again.
My only point to make is that although there is satalite TV in all rooms, it mostly caters for Germans and Spanish. Only sports and news channels in English, although did not spend much time in the room it would have been nice to watch an English programme whilst getting ready to go out in the evening.

Torviscas Playa Hotel
Playa de las Americas
Tenerife
In my opinion this is a large tired hotel in need of an additional refurbishment.
Room storage space for a 4* is extremely limited. Stained flat carpets, walls require repainting, bathroom cracked tiles.
Satellite t.v.? 25 channels to choose from - you think - in reality BBC World News/eurosport/cnn/sky news - which amounts to 21 dedicated to German/italian/french +. If you have children or you are not a frequenter of bars or the hotel entertainment, once you have seen the daily sport and news that's your lot.
Pool and surrounding area is very good. Plenty of sunbeds - dont't missthe spa pool in the centre of the heated pool as it is hidden by the rock feature.
Location is o.k. but it's all downhill and not directly on the front. Therefore up hill on return with lots of steps.
If you like markets, there is a big one twice weekly just outside the hotel.
Food is good but very repetetive however you may request the chef to cook eggs etc to your liking. There is also champagne for your bucks fizz for breakfast - not to be missed.
Entertainment - although staff try extremely hard to please, it is very limited. Entertainment from outside is hardly what I would call professional.

The first room which we got was on the first floor and looked out onto a concrete wall about 50 feet away. We complained and were moved into a room on the fourth floor. The view from the balcony of this room was excellent. To the left was the sea and to the right were the mountains.
Beware! The rooms on one side of the hotel overlook a busy road.
The room was in need of refurbishment, particularly the bathroom.
The food was very good, with plenty of choice.
The location is suitable for people who like to walk along the promenade. The bottom gate of the hotel leads directly onto the prom.
The evening entertainment was very poor on most nights.
Most nights the resident team provided the entertainment and they soon emptied the place. Fortunately, the nearby hotels had better entertainment and good artists could be found in the bars and restaurants in the area around the nearby Porto Colon.
The hotel is very near the Torviscas market, which is held twice a week.
The large swimming pool was cold, but the chill had been taken off the smaller pool.
The bus stop is very near the hotel and there is a frequent service. The buses are very modern and comfortable
