Granada Park Apartments

Arrived at 10pm, greeted by night porter who spoke little English, we had to find our own way to apartment with the aid of a map!!

Very nice apartment, clean and everything you need to enjoy your stay, tv, fridge, freezer, microwave etc. I booked 2 weeks all inclusive. Pool of a good size and cleaned every day. Very quiet and relaxing, just the sort of place where you can chill out. That's the good points.

Now the bad points. If you like pork, fish, limited choice of poor quality food then this is the place for you. Pork and fish every day! If you like the all inclusive bar to close at 11pm and feel you have to go back to your apartment like everyone else, then this is the place for you! If you like entertainment that I would mark 2/10 then this is the place for you! Please note that if you want to speak to a Thomson's rep, you need to phone the 24/7 help line to the UK at your own expense so they can then arrange for a rep to visit.

After a week of the same food I couldn't stand it no more, it spoilt the holiday. I did manage to see a Thomson rep in another hotel, in fact there were 4 on duty! Demanded a change of hotel as the Granada Park Hotel was a very big letdown not the usual standard one would expect from Thomson's. Was moved to the Oasis Golf Resort which is situated across the road at the extra cost of 180 euro for the remainder of the holiday, which is also 3 star. All I can say is wow, should be a 4 star, food great, different theme nights, good entertainment, bar stays open after the all inclusive finishes at 11. Apartments very good, everything you need for a really good holiday. Many thanks to the Thomson rep who helped us. Would go back to the Oasis Golf Resort anytime, would not set foot in the Granada Park Aparthotel unless they sort it out big time and get their act together.

Friendly clean hotel. Stayed there late June weather was fantastic but not overbearingly hot. Room cleaned everyday and there was an army of cleaners around the hotel every morning. Lifeguards at the pool side 10 - till 6 during our stay. Hotel suitable for all.

Taxi to the centre is 6 Euros each way, very reasonable and the hotel is situated in a quiet area just outside los Cristianos and Playa De Las Americas. Getting to the centre by walking is a bit far, but it can be done in 20 mins, however there is a taxi rank right outside the hotel day and night to make stay very comfortable. There is a hotel mini bus service free of charge going to the beach at 10 every morning and to the centre and pick up is at five o'clock.

The drinks in the hotel are quite expensive from the pool bar but can also be bought from the onsite supermarket for a lot less if you want a drink by the pool. The food at the pool bar is very nice indeed and most meals cost on average of 12 Euros per person. Slush puppies can also be bought for those who like them these are available from the pool bar. The hotel rooms cater for 4 adults sharing there are two singles in one room and two sofa beds in the other the rooms come with a large fridge and freezer and plenty of cooking space for self catering holidays. The rooms are very large and probably the largest ever stayed in at a Spanish resort. The bathrooms are very clean and spacious and towels are replace every.

The hotel has a mini golf course and 3 swimming pools one is a Childs pool, one is heated and a main pool all three are very clean and appealing. The waterpark cost around 35 Euros for a day however you have to hire your own tubes i.e. rubber rings for an extra charge but a very fun day out. There is also a free dolphin show which I highly recommend as it's the best I have seen. The waterpark can be found in Costa Adeje and is around 25 euro by taxi 10 mins away. The resort of Playa De Las Americas is about 30 min transfer from the airport and also cost around 28 Euros one way.

Nightlife is fantastic and can be found in the centre of Playa De Las Americas in Starco City which kicks off around 11.30 pm. Bars such as Brannigans and the main club, Tramps are there which often feature weakly headliners. Drinks are quite expensive in Tramps so make sure you get in plenty of drinks in Veronicas strip 30 seconds walk away from Tramps before entering the clubs.

Alcohol from the supermarkets is cheap vodka it is around 14 Euros in the UK its around 24 Euros. Red Bull can be bought but there are Spanish versions which are cheaper and nicer in my opinion. For those who smoke the cigarettes are about 13 English pounds for 200 cigarettes on average. Great destination for all families, couples, groups etc. Good all round destination and hotel and would defiantly return.

To other parents, grandparents or couples wanting a wonderful relaxing hols. In the sun, Granada Park is perfect! (and hot).

Away from the crowds, but close enough to Las Americas and Los Cristianos (half hour walk with a 4 and 6 yr old), or cheap taxi), to feel part of it.

The rooms are as described on the websites, roomy, nice view of pools for most, and boy! The cleanliness is 5 star. We watched teams of cleaners everyday round the pool and bar. They then come and sort out your room -wonderful!

We really couldn't fault it!

Would recommend to anyone except if you are wanting an 18-30's holiday!

No cockroaches on this complex!

P.S at time of booking the deal with lastminute.com was cheaper than anyone else we could find.

Happy Hols!
