Hotel Panoramica Garden

It's a hotel for mass tourism... and achieves good success that way so all was well arranged for guests. Some trivial problems may come for individual guests in that setting... Such as parking our rental car was a bit difficult due to the lack of parking spaces at nights. Oh well... It was a nice stay for us anyway.

Prices for new year were astronomical on Tenerife but this hotel provided great value for money. It is dated, very 1990s but well maintained, clean and comfortable. The bathroom looked like it had seen an update at some point and the wall around the pool area was being replaced with glass panels, which will offer great sea views from the pool and restaurant. Rooms were a good size, offering a kitchen area with a few utensils, fridge, kettle and hot plate. Plenty of wardrobe space, comfortable beds, a few chairs and a small table, should you want to eat in the room. They won't win any style awards but are well kept and spotlessly clean. A fair choice at breakfast but the hot food was warm at best, so I'd stick to the continental. I only had one evening meal in the hotel but it was the New Year's gala dinner. Great selection, even for a non meat eater like me but I can't say how the standard buffet compares. Nearby is a scenic coastal walk and a small selection of bars, restaurants and mini markets (limited opening hours/days at this time of year though). The free bus to Puerto de la Cruz is great, giving you a quiet base but the bigger resort option if you want it.

Basic hotel, immaculately clean in every area, room cleaned and towel change daily, may need an extension lead as only one plug socket by the bed, however plenty in room, bathroom basic but spotless, reception staff very friendly and helpful, we had a mountain view, but the man said I upgraded you to a sea view, which is beautiful 5th floor 😀 the lifts are busy in the morning but it's not a problem, breakfast is basic, but plentiful, haven't touched the hot food as I don't like Spanish cooked breakfast I prefer English meat!! But wen in Spain and all that!! Bread and pastries are good, plenty of fruit, yogurt cereals ect.. restaurant staff a bit standoffish but they work hard and keep it clean, you won't go hungry at breakfast trust me!! The pool area is lovely and the gardens too, the pool temperature is absolutely freezing but it's December so to be expected, the only downside was really the 2 hour transfer stopped at around 8 other hotels first 😩 but worth the wait, happy with the overall experience and would definitely visit again 100% doesn't seem to be access to the sea unfortunately, but there is a free bus into peurto de la cruz every hour so may give that a go 👌😀
