What a disaster!!!!!!!!
The room was very basic on a ground floor. There were ants in the kitchen area. Cockroaches on the verranda area - dead and alive!!! And to top it all off my appartment was broken into!!! Aaaarrrggghhh - what a nightmare.
Security were supposed to do there rounds at night but obviously they weren't doind there job well enough!!
I will NEVER go back.

Right well where do I start.... these appartments were absolutely disgusting! We arrived at about 12.30am and all we wanted to do was sleep, but there was no chance of that. The room was like the size of a box we couldn't shut the door, the balcony wouldnt lock and the beds folded out of the wall.
There were ants and cockroaches everywhere. So we asked to be moved to another room, and it got worse when the hotel workers were showing us to our room they were falling over everywhere over our suitcases, as if they were drunk.
We finally got to the other room and there was cockroaches running in and out from behind the fridge, we didn't sleep at all that night!
We were told that the apartments were 3 star but I wouldn't even give it a one star, the hotel entertainment was the worst ever!
I couldn't understand how there was still people staying in these apartments! the next day we asked to be transfered to a 4 star hotel as there was no way that I was staying in those apartmens even if they paid me.

Me and my boyfriend went to this hotel expecting the worst. Just wanted a cheap getaway.
Had a fab time here. we stayed in room 91H big one beedroom apartment. with sun loungers on the patio. Great to sunbathe on in the morning before you go out.
Close to everything realy. Hotel was clean. No problems at all. Lots of space etc. Could not find anything wrong with the room at all, and we checked it all. Not ants or cockroches
Have a great stay.

Rooms were very basic, two single pull down beds were disguised as wardrobes, front door had been smashed in at some stage and spliced. Stray cats were sat on our patio every night and played with the cockroaches. Biggest problem was the ant infestation, they were all over the kitchen area and in the drawers.
Entertainment seemed ok but the organisers played on the "happy hour" a bit 2 much trying to keep punters there without the "happy hour" materialising so we went out every night in search of cheaper ale !
Definitely a two star, probably not even that. I would not recommend this hotel

We ended up here as our first company went bust and booked this last minute.
The location is superb look down the gently sloping street and you can see the sea. If you ever take a boat trip here or Cyprus - Balearics - Turkey etc. you will realise that tourists hotels and villas are 90% on hill sides were local don't want to be.
A few roaches that you expect in any hot country, so keep the door and windows closed, rent or buy osc. fans! Ants worked harder than the maids at keeping the floor clean, but this is what you expect from 2 star. Cats only hang round if you feed them, and there are there to keep the rodent problem down on the whole of Tenerife, you will see rats outside the complex during daylight, one downside is the cats have took out the lizards which keep the insects down.
Entertainment was not for us, when we did stay to see a turn thet did not show! pools (3)were small. So head for Adeje water park 20 minute walk, great.
There is a secure outside play area for younger kids.
Food did not look apertising so ate out.
Signs that patio doors had been forced so use the room safe, the staff pointed out that the security fencing is now 10 foot tall to keep the rogues out, never heard of break ins when we were there.
Fridge and cooking fascilities were adaquate, you get what you pay for!
If you leave hotel and turn down to sea then left and left you will find a number of shops and pubs even an Irish one with English tv channel, a Chinese eat as much as you want buffet around 6 euro's.

Pariso Del Sol translated means (Paradise in the Sun) and what a joke..
Arrived there at midnight to be checked in by security, given keys and not shown where to go. We had a upstairs apartment near the pool which was NOT up to much to say the least.
We were told by Thomson's it was a Three star and found out it was only a two...I wouldn't even give it a one star.
The apartment was very basic to be polite, there was no air con and it was like an oven, even at night. We could not leave the sliding doors open as cockroaches were all over the place. They ran about freely late evening and were squashed all over in the mornings. Small ant like things were all over the kitchen and were all over the balcony, it was roaming with stray/wild cats which were always looking for food. I think they were there to eat the cockroaches as nobody from the Pariso seemed to be removing them....THE PLACE IS A DUMP....
The only good thing about this place is that it is very central to everything about Las Americas..
The pool area was OK whilst the drunken/swearing youths were not about and the night time entertainment was boring and nearly the same every night, this went on till after 1 c'clock..
We ate out every day and only slept in the apartment, With all the lights on to keep the cockroaches away...enough said about this place but I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY.
I would come back to tenerife but NOT anywhere near this place as there is lots of things to do and there are lots of great places to eat..the best being..HEADS AND TAILS..which is English owned and run Bar.
WHAT A TOTAL LET DOWN FOR OUR FIRST HOLIDAY

Stayed at the Paraiso del Sol in July 2005, for 5 boozy nights. The place was almost deserted - very quiet - and we thought we had dropped on lucky... How wrong can you be!!
We popped to the pool for a dip at 4pm for a couple of hours - and someone went in our room and robbed us. They obviously had a key - the door was not smashed in. They only took our mobile phones, but this involved smashing my locked suitcase open. The hotel manager wasn't that bothered - this has obviously happened before. Another guest we bumped into had his

The studio room we had when staying at this complex was very basic and was not that clean!!
We had an infestation of little ant like creatures and the floor on the balcony did not cleaned for the whole duration of our stay. As we were self catering we were expecting a basic but competant kitchen to cook in however we only got two gas rings and a fridge, if you wanted a kettle or a toaster you had to hire these at an extra charged!!
We had at the surf bar located next to the swimming pool and the food was horrible you had to wait half an hour before recieving the poor quality food.
The staff were unhelpful and didnt seem to know what they were doing. We did not see any of the entertainment on the complex.

Seven of us stayed at the Paraiso del Sol this year we had three seperate apartments that were all close to each other.
When we first arrived it looked ok, when we got our keys we had to be walked round the other side of the hotel by a worker to take us to our room, it felt like ages to walk when you just want to go to bed.
Anyway our room looked really nice and clean very spacious and a nice big balcony to get some air in. Thank god! The room was kept pretty clean but had infestation of little tiny ants everywhere and dont think the floor was ever cleaned as my feet went black as soon as I got out of the shower.
Being a teenager youd think I could handle the noise but all night...I dont think so! There was definitely lots of young people staying here that didnt have any respect for others but the hotel staff to action and the noise soon stopped.
Just one thing we had no where to leave our passports on our last day which was poor,the public shower was disgusting I would rather smell then get in there - this needs to be sorted!

This holiday was booked on a family deal.
The hotel was very clean and location was quite good, although I felt that having two small children with us you had to watch there every move as the pool was quite near the bar and patio area. Also there was steps leading up to reception and this lead you to main road outside.
We had a few cochroaches which were very large and horrible, we had only four throughout our stay but my daughter had a lot more, 6 in one night, so if you are not keen of this sort of thing this is not the hotel to go to.
Hotel staff were brilliant very helpful and polite rooms were clean and tidy.
The entertainment was terrible. This was not catered for a family at all if you were 60 and over great otherwise stay in your room or go out even though you can still hear the noise but stops after 12.30am.
The rep was always on hand at hotel and he was very nice and helpful at all times.
