The Orlando is in the pefect location because its right next to the market where you can buy almost anything for really cheap prices, such as jewelry, clothes, ornaments etc... Also the Orlando is close to the Skypark which is really good for kids. It has water slides and bungy jumps etc...Also The Orlando is next to a shopping center with many shops. The main street wich is just metres away is full of bars and resturants. The only thing that the Orlando has wrong with its location is that you have to walk a far way to get to the beach.
The Orlando pools are excelent and clean. There are 3 pools, a small one and a large one. The pool bar area has nice food but the area isn't very clean.
The best part of the Orlando was the entertainment that the reps and hotel staff provided. Every day there was somthing to do. You could never get bored. Activities such as vollyball, football, tennis, etc... Also every morning there would be a fun quiz at the poo area where prizes could be won. The entertainment at night could have been better for the adults but the kids had lots to do such as disco, karoke, and party games. The hypnotyst show was extremly funny.
Overall we enjoyed our Holiday and hopefully will be returning in the future.

The hotel was very nice overall. We only really used the rooms for sleeping in due to clubbing till around 5 a.m. We went out for food every night as we went self catering. There was a really nice breakfast place across the road which helps get rid of your everyday morning hangover from the night before. The location was excellent, just a taxi away from veronicas strip which is where all the clubs and bars are.
The reps were really friendly and helpful and help organise trips to go on, e.g booze cruise and bar crawl which are both excellent. I would especiallt recomend the bar crawl on one of your first nights because they show you where all the bars and clubs are.

Hi don't be to put off by all these reviews. At the end of the day your holiday is what you make it and you only sleep in your apartments.
Although I wouldn't advise taking children to the Orlando, due to large groups of 18-30's. They are clamping down on noise in the early hours. Orlando is a very basic apartment block but you get whay you pay for.
It is situated on the outskirts of Playa but taxis are cheap. For bars/clubs you are better off down at Veronicas strip. The best restaurant we all liked was Harleys an American type dinner/cocktail bar lovely food and very large portions.

Myself and 4 pals stayed here for 1 week in June 2004. We read some good and some bad reports about the apartments.
When we got there we were more than happy with the apartments and their location.
The only thing I didn't like about Orlando was the amount of steps we had to climb each and every day to get to and from our room.
But I definitely would stay in Orlando again.

I don't think I have ever had a worse hotel experience.
On arrival staff were rude but it was late at night and everyone was tired from travelling so thought it would be fine in the morning.
When we finally hiked up the hill, up a flight of stars, in the smelly lift and then down to another flight of stars we found two rooms full of cockroaches.
We all decided to stay in the one room with fewer cockroaches for the night and sort it out in the morning leaving our CD player, some magazines and a coat in the room.
We spoke to the hotel reception the next morning who agreed to fumigate our room but made no apology for their little friends. We went to the beach for the day in knowledge that the rooms would be fine when we returned. Oh no, when we got back we realised the maid or maintenance had stolen our CD player. I first thought they probably moved it to fumigate and asked reception who asked us to leave the query with them, three days later after speaking them twice a day and in the end the rep too, they still kept putting me off and we ended up having an almighty row.
The staff are nothing but rude and they obviously have a problem with their staff thieving. I wouldn't go back again if someone paid me to.
Apartments were also dirty, the staircases were unlit, rooms were too hot and someone kept peeing in the lift so it smelt revolting.
Although the parrot show was good.

We had an amazing time at the Orlando.
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
The rooms were basic but still very clean, we had fresh towels when ever we needed them.
The pool side bar was fantastic, the food and drinks that were served were of high quality and very cheap.
The facilities such as the three swimming pools and the tennis court were excellent and there was always something to do.
The entertainment was mainly great but was sometimes boring.
The location of the apartments was better than I expected, we were very close to all the shops, the beach, the water park and the bars.
My view - go and stay at the Orlando it's class.

We stayed at the Orlando Hotel for a week and on the first night, we were woken in the early hours by loud bangs and shouting. There was a lot of swearing and fighting between scottish couples. we could not get sleep for hours due to the argument that they were having. They smashed their room up, and threw chairs out of their apartment. we were appaled as we had a young baby with us who was awoken by the loud noise due to it being right below us.
This didn't just happen on the one occasion. it happened on several. We were also disgusted to the amount of cockroaches that we saw around the paths of the hotel and near the pool. I would extremly recomend the Orlando to do somthing about the amount of violence that happens when people return from pubs and bars as to us it was a "Holiday from Hell"

5 minutes walk from the beach (downhill). No traffic problems as it is up a cul-de-sac. Traffic noise from the main tenerife motorway if you get one of the apartment blocks up the many stairs (50 \ 50 chance?). No poolside facing apartment as promised. Cockroaches included in price. Apartment grubby with 20 year old MFI units. Attempted to boil kettle once but got p*ssed of after 10 minutes as I couldn't even light a cigarette of the ring. kettle came from the Victorian age. Very grubby. Shower was not sealed. Staff were not the friendliest I've come accross. Pool area superb as were the main facilities. 100 yards from a host of British Pubs (recommend especially Bobbins and the Wigan Pier) which served tennents and Fosters on tap. Good food also. 10 minutes walk from the Waterpark. Adequate for a week but we spent as much time as possible out of our apartments.

I went to Tenerife with five of my closest girlfriends, and we really had a great time there. The hotel was not brilliant in any ways, but it was OK. Quite clean (even though you SHOULD bring your own towels, because the maids only gave us dirty ones !). Found one bug in our bathroom. The hot water ended very quickly. The balcony was very nice, bbut the traffic was a little bit disturbing. Overall, a nice hotel for young people who like to party, and with no high hopes for a hotel de luxe

i hav stayed in the orlando twice now and have just booked to go back again in september, the location is great and rooms where fine. If you dont like the orlando then you should have booked 5* as it is what you expect from a 2* accomadation. all 4 of us thaught it was great with the large pool, close to restaurants bars etc, close to the waterpark and beach. also not to mention a freindly attmosphere, so if your picky and moan alot dont go but if you want a nice appartment and a great holiday then the ORLANDO is for you ! . xxx
