Booked a last minute holiday with my girlfriend, was cheap so didn't expect too much, however reception staff were friendly and our apartment was very clean.

The food wasn't great but 10 seconds either side of the hotel there are restaraunts which serve good food I must recommend bus stop their breakfasts and their roasts were great.

There was no entertainment but with so much near by wasnt an issue.

Pool was cold but overall was pleased with it.

Just arrived home from a weeks stay in Oro Blanco... Having read on here many adverse comments was a little weary.... Until our arrival the staff were very friendly...

The apartment was OK for two people but would not like to share for 4.. The pillows though are rock hard lol...

Plenty of beds around the pool for this time of year but think maybe abit of a space problem in the summer season...as the sun is only on one side..

The actual location is great we were able to walk to all the place's we wanted to go ... with no problems at all ...Starcos bar area was in reach in 5 Min's walk...

So overall had great week there and would definitely visit again...By the way bus stop bar is great for breakfast and is only two Min's walk...

We are a couple approaching the end of the working period of our lives and have only just switched from 'skiing' to 'sun'for our winter break. Tenerife itself was a first and approached with trepidation.

We booked a studio appartment in a low cost package. The room was sparsely furnished but nice and spacious - plenty large enough for a couple who intended to be out of the hotel for most of the time. The cooking gallery was small but had a kettle and fridge. Plenty big enough for us but my wife says that she would not want to cook a meal in it.

The room had a nice sized bathroom with a good shower. We had a balcony overlooking the terrace and, having read previous posts, looked for but did not see any rooms that did not have a balcony!

The first four nights were reasonably quiet with older couples and young families but some of these were replaced by parties of 20 something males in mid week who enjoyed balcony parties so the noise level at night rose quite a lot. Hotel security did not seem to try and do anything about loud noise. Overall it was OK and we got on well with fellow guests.

Avoid the reps welcome meeting as it is just a shop to sell you overpriced tours.

The hotel suited our needs very well and I would recommend it to families and older couples.

Our second stay at these apartments, we were there the same time last year. We had a great time then so booked again for this year and we were not disapointed.

The apartments were clean and nicely decorated, simple but very tidy. Our room was in a different block to last year which was better for us. It was on the third floor but with no apartments above which meant we rarely got any noise, our balcony was big with patio furniture on it. We had a fairly good view but we faced the Oro Negro.

The Oro Blanco is far enough away from all the noisy nightlife but still within walking distance.

The reception staff are very helpful and there is an English lady who works on there.

The pool and sun terrace are quite big but sunbeds aren't always availiable unless you get down there with towels before 9am like we did. The pool bar serves good food which is cheap and tasty, drinks are cheap and they also do happy hours. The staff on the pool bar are English and totally great fun to speak to.

There is not much entertainment but you only have to go a few yards down the road to some great bars. I think there is a karaoke night in the Oro Blanco and they show a film every night from 10pm a different one each night.

The Oro Blanco gave us an excellent holiday for the 2nd year running if we had'nt already booked to go to Benidorm for two weeks next June then I would have been going back there again. That must tell you its good! We didn't even see a cockroach.

Happy holidays to anyone who will be visiting the Oro blanco, it really isn't as bad as some people make out. Oh and for those of you looking for a good English bar with good English food, try the Giddy Goose. As you leave the apartment from the back alley, turn left follow it down and when you get back on the main street cross over and it's on your right hand side near the cash and carry shop. Great service, nice staff and excellent food.

After reading some of the comments regarding this hotel I was really worried what our accommodation would be like. I was dreading getting one of the rooms without a balcony. When getting of the transfer bus from the airport and seeing the hotel for the first time it didn

A group of 7 mates (2 ladies, 5 geezers)aged between 18 - 26 had two apartments adjacent to one another. We stayed on the 5th floor overlooking the front out onto the golf course opposite. The cleaner and me had a few run ins as we weren't the cleanest to put it mildly but other than that the staff were all friendly especially those on the door when we come stumbling in at 4,5 and even 8 in the morning. (Does anyone else think the male receptionist at night looks like Aemon - 'I don't want you back' guy?)

Fantastic view off of the balcony. Only problem I had with the apartment was no duvet just sheets but it's understandable as it was 22 degrees in winter when we went.

Would recommend to anyone, also should if finances are good go back in June

Extremely disappointed with our rooms, we were all given studios on top of each other, no balcony on any, all looked onto a wall. They were next to the lift shafts so very noisy we were told after complaining we should have requested a balcony and there were no other rooms available. Apparently there are 6 in the hotel without balcony's so beware if your room number ends in 14. The brochure clearly shows all the rooms with balcony's you can not see our rooms with them facing a wall, they apparently are always getting complaints, I felt cheated as I love to sit on the balcony it is a big part of my holiday.

The hotel was very noisy some nights but after being fined 50 euros it quietened the young ones down.

The hotel night staff were lovely, the day staff we found not as friendly.

As for the entertainment we could not wait to get away from our cupboards so we spent as much time as possible away from the hotel.

Cleanliness - The apartment was not clean. The doors paintwork and floors were filthy. During our stay the cleaners did not clean or mop the floors. The bathroom floor was particularly dirty. The pool area was grotty and dirty.

Hotel food. The food at the pool bar was not very nice and because of the lack of cleanliness in the area I would not like to have eaten there too often.

Some of the staff were friendly, but overall most of them were unhelpful.

Entertainment - there wasn't any. Nor is there even a comfortable area to sit in.

Very close to town and beach. Staff a bit unpleasent at times. Great for a group holiday.

If your looking for good food and a funny dj visit the royal oak bar down the street DJ Stevie is such a laugh and always plays your favorite tune.

Pool quite cold even though its supposed to be heated.

Food is nice and v cheap. Theres lots of chineses close by all do buffets for 5 or 6 euros.

Visit aqua park for all the waterslides and you can do a dolphin encounter for 50 euros.

All in all a brill holiday and would def go back to the hotel again.

Just booked to go to the Oro Blanco appartments after two previous stays during December 2004 and 2005. Can't wait to get there again.
