Absolutely brilliant hotel.

I have been all around the world in a variety of hotels and this place is up there with the best of them.

It is the perfect place to go if you want luxury and class. It is just far enough outside the centre of las americas too! The development of shops, restaurants and fountains is amazing.

If you can try and get in one of the newer sides ie, Julius Ceaser palace! If you go you HAVE to visit the pyramid restaurant & visit the show!

The hotel was immaculate and the staff extremely helpful.

We stayed on a Bed & Breakfast basis and the choice at breakfast was extremely good. There was even things my two fussy children enjoyed.

We have been to Tenerife several times and this is an excellent location for families and couples.

There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and nightclubs are a short walk away.

The whole Mare Nostrum resort is accessible and we frequently used the pools of the other hotels which were quieter than the pool at the Mediterranean Palace.

Kids club was great for all ages with constant activities if the kids wanted to join in.

This hotel really caters for all types of customers without the forcefulness found in the usual family hotels.

We booked a last minute Christmas break and chose the Mediterranean Palace as a treat.

We were very impressed with every aspect of the hotel.

The room was spotless and the bed was enormous. The pool area was pretty busy and although we had access to other hotels in the chain, decided to use the beach which was minutes away.

There was forever someone cleaning around the hotel and pool areas.

The breakfast was very good, offering food for everyone: - lots of fresh fruit, continental options (bread, meats, cheeses) yoghurts, cereals and for the larger appetite a cooked breakfast.

We didn't sample the evening meals as we ate out each night. Also we didn't see the evening entertainment, so cannot comment on that.

Hotel is great, but not 5 star. The public areas are good. The rooms are well below standard, more 3/4 star. marked walls, funiture require upgrade, finishing in bathrooms poor. Well worn throughout in the bedrooms, does not appear to have upgraded since opening in 1988.
Staff are very attentive and try to keep everything clean.
We stopped on BB basis. Excellent food both quality and quantity.
Hotel is in prime location for beach,shops and nightlife.
Staff are helpful and caring.
Entertainment seemed good, only saw a couple of nights as we were out.
Would return we accomodation had been upgraded.

Booked through an independant company via a travel agents and stopped at the Med. Palace for less than would have paid for an apartment through usual travel companies (through under occupancy). The hotel itself is immaculately clean, and you are able to use the facilities at the Julius Ceaser palace next door the pool there is far less crowded and we tended to use that one instead. The only pool you are not permitted to use is the one in the Sir Anthony, which to be honest is probably the smallest of them all!! There is an interesting little terrace by the name of the "Adam and Eve" on the fourth floor, this is the naturists area that we found, it is actually cooler up there and has a small pool within it, this tends to be frequented by european guests rather than the English!!, and can at times be entertaining...worth a look just out of curiousity!!

The complex has 12 restaurants, only one of these is including in the half board price to eat at any of the others incurs additional supplements. The breakfast was over all ok, but the evening meal was poor, the choice was limited (although there is a wider choice for fish lovers) and was usually lukewarm, the salad bar has to be one of the most boring I have ever seen!! Reminded me of what you would get put ontop of a donner kebab!! You have to time it well also as the restaurant is fairly small and there can be lengthy queues at peak times.

The room we has was a twin with a mountain view and was clean but rather small, the bathrooms were tiny. The towels, as you would expect were changed daily and the room cleaned daily also. The room has a safe in it, charged at reception and a mini bar...to use the mini bar you must on arrival, either, leave a credit card or pay a 60 euro per day deposit, as we did neither we had no access to it! although regardless of that someone called on a daily basis to check it, he couldnt quite grasp that we didnt have a key and therefore it would not need restocked!

On departure we asked about keeping the room as we had a late flight, this wasnt possible but they are shower facilities within the gym that you are able to use prior to departure.

I can't comment on the entertainment as we chose not to watch it, but they seemed to be a reasonable number of people that did.

All in all as I didnt pay 5 star prices for our week, i wasnt disappointed, but I personally thought the food was very poor, and wouldnt recommend paying the supplement for half board, as there are a lot of nice places to eat out very cheaply, the surrounding are fantastic and the hotel itself is well worth a visit!!

There are some fountains opposite the hotel, that at 9pm and 10pm every night light up and the water moves in time to the music, theres a cocktail bar on the first floor where you get a great view!!!!

Booked family break of 10days via air2000 and alpha-beds cheaper than travel company wanted for 7 nights. Taxi to hotel booked inadvance but may not do so again as

Very nice hotel, but if I was to be honest I would almost certainly look at the others namely Julio Ceasre. Much better and we did have the option of being moved there due to restaurant work but declined.

For those of you who like to let it all hang out, then check out the nudist balcony with its small skinny dip pool.

We stayed here on our honeymoon in May 2003. The hotel was fabulous, there was champagne and fruit in out room when we arrived as they knew we were on honeymoon.
The room we stayed in was a suite with it's own private pool on the balcony! We had such a huge balcony with sun loungers that we hardly ever had to leave the room!
The room was cleaned every day and the mini bar re stocked every day too.
We booked it direct through the hotels website and had no problems with it at all, they even collected us from the airport.
I cannot reccomend this hotel enough, it is a bit pricey, but if you can afford it, then go for it! We are saving up to go back one day!
