We think this hotel must have memories of better times.
The service was good, and the beds were comfortable, but the sofa in the apartment was hard to figure out how to sit on! :-) It's actually a sofa bed, but when you don't need one and want to sit and watch TV, you can't lean back or find a comfortable position. The apartment was clean, but there were a lot of tiny flies in the bathroom.

The check in was easy and friendly but we booked for a family and only two beds were made up. We were given extra sheets but the pull out bed that was supposed to be there wasn’t there so we had to sleep a family of 4 in 3 beds as they said there was nothing they could do.

On arrival checking in was easy with friendly, helpful staff. Once in the studio was basic and clean which is what we wanted. We had to wash utensils and kitchen equipment as dirty and greasy but other than that we had a lovely stay. The cleaning staff came round on a daily basis with clean towels etc. They were all really friendly and helpful. Overall I would recommend oro blanco to friends and family. If your looking for somewhere basic. Price for 12 night stay was reasonable for what we wanted. Checking out was fast with returned deposits etc and friendly helpful staff.
Some noise of a night from inconsiderate customers but had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Great location , nice complex

Booked a last minute long weekender; greeted on arrival by a very friendly chap on reception - all good.
We knew that we had a room without a balcony - the room was clean, smelled nice ( they don't all!! ) and was adequately equipped. My one gripe would be that there was only a larder fridge- ie: no freezer compartment. In an apartment with a cooker, etc, there really should be a freezer compartment for use. Not a dealbreaker, more of a nuisance.
The pool area was as standard- most sunbeds draped in towels from around 9.00am, despite the usual notices saying they would be removed after an hour. Some people did not appear until mid afternoon which is a MAJOR irritation- needs sorting!
The bar was ok, although with just one guy there doing all of the food and drinks, some days the wait was longer than is acceptable.
Would stay again :-)

4th time staying in this property, rooms are really good size this time we had a 3 bed apartment and it was very spacious. Rooms are basic but got everything you need. The pool area are bar are very nice, well kept and big. The only disappointing thing about my stay this time was the cleanliness in the apartment, which has never been an issue before. Only 2 beds out of 7 got changed the full week we were there, the floors did not get cleaned once, every day we had to ask at reception for towels, cleaner took 7 dirty ones and only left 2 clean ones.

The hotel is really dated and needs huge updates. Every room has a separate water heater and the water is enough for one person only. You can hear the water going through the pipes all the time. Really noisy place, drunk people screaming and slamming the doors all night. My room was right next to the elevator and i could hear it moving as well.You will also enjoy the company of your very own cockroaches.They charge for everything: tv remote, ac, safe box, internet, weighing and storing your luggage, lounge chairs at the pool, wifi and 30E per person before you enter the room as a deposit.The most expensive hostel i have ever stayed in with beds hard as a rock(ask for a mattress topper). Dont get fooled by the price like me. If anyhow you decide to go cheap dont get a studio cause once you pull the curtain you are facing a wall.

Front desk and the housekeeping were polite and helpful.

Excellent value for money with very friendly reception staff and good clean accommodation which is in good condition. If you have a car there are good free parking facilities nearby and all Las Americas shops and nightlife are just a short walk away. WiFi is not that reliable, particularly during peak usage periods and recommend you bring your own shampoo and shower gel as those provided are minimal. Popular with Stag and Hen groups but staff don't tolerate bad behavior so they generally don't disrupt other residents. Good swimming pool area and pool bar. This accommodation is great for overnight business stays as well as holidays.

Stag do. The hotel does exactly what it says. It's 2 stars, but it's clean, no hassle with checking in or out. 30 euro deposit per person per room, but providing you don't smash the place up, you'll get it back, and that's your airport Burger King money. Sorted.
They seem to be used to big groups, stag dos etc, you have to pay a deposit for everything, including the TV remotes, but if you are on holiday to get pished, you don't need to watch tv.

Very pleased.

Good location for restaurants and bars, and a short walk to the beach and main shopping areas around the coast. Great room for the price to be honest. All the amenities you'd need for a self catering stay. Adequate kitchen area for cooking and preparing a basic meal. Private washing machine was available for use too which was handy.
There is use of 4 pools as these apartments have access to the Las Piramides Hotel sharing the same grounds. The pool was great nearest the apartment, so quiet compared to the larger main pools.
Overall I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend staying there, and would consider using them again on my next stay.

Not bad for the strip hitters.. For others AVOID

No free shuttle bus to the airport as advertised elsewhere it is simply a €20 taxi that they order for you at reception after you ask about the free bus. Instead just get the bus from the bus station for €3! Loud noisy neighbours all around as this is a hotel mostly for your typical young male/female groups that are hitting the strip. €30 deposit per person in cash is demanded upon checking in... This was not mentioned anywhere either. Beds were like campbeds but the sheets and room itself were clean il give them that. Also expect to be woken up at 0800/0900 every morning by groups of Spanish cleaners sorting rooms out together and then falling out and having an argument half way through. We paid £45 a night for 2 nights on trip advisor as a last ditch effort to try and salvage a badly planned last minute holiday to somewhere for us which ultimately left us in the North of Tenerife in Puerto De La Cruz. Fancied a week away in the sun and left it too late so were limited as to where we could stay. For location its great as we spent all of our time in the South at Siam Park and had a couple of jollys to the beach. Thats about all its good for if you want an actual half decent holiday. If you are hitting the strip then this is perfect for you... For couples or families then avoid.

Quite reasonable hotel

We stayed here because at the time of year (second week in Jan) it was as cheap as we could get in or near to Playa De Las Americas. We wanted to stay here because we thought that the weather might be cool, but it was in fact quite a lot warmer that we'd expected. The room was OK, basic layout with a separate bedroom (twin beds) and separate living-room/kitchen/diner. All tidy and clean, but quite uncomfortable (bed was very hard and the sofa/sofabed was quite uncomfortable too. in fairness, it did have a nice balcony overlooking the bool, but we were north facing and had no sun , so I'd ask for south facing if you want to sit in the sun in the evening, which we did.

We didn't eat in the apartment, but there are plenty of nearby restaurants which are reasonably priced.

good

The only issue I had was that there was no oven so I ended up not bothering to self-cater but ate out instead for the whole two weeks. I chose the hotel as it was close to Siam Park, but ended up using the free bus anyway, so could have stayed in Christianos anyway which is what I will do next time as it is closer to the nice beach and the restaurants we ended up using each night. Hotel was great, with friendly staff, so it is not a reflection on the hotel, but on its location, that we won't be staying at it again.
