Старый номерной фонд - главный минус отеля Old rooms - the main disadvantage of the hotel

We rested in Catalonia Oro Negro from August 29 to September 9.2014.
HOTEL-ROOM
Made a sad impression… The rooms are old and tired! The beds are bad, after them the back hurts and is very tight, the first 3 nights I woke up when I or my boyfriend turned over, it creaks unbearably !! ! Everything was shabby, unwashed, falling apart in places, but everything worked. There were a catastrophic shortage of sockets, this is not the first time we have encountered this, so we carry a tee with us, it really helped us out : -) We lived on the 3rd floor, overlooking the pool, the animation in the evening interfered... especially when it was karaoke until 12 at night... No luck with the neighbors either, first there were the French, then the English Arabs stopped by. For some reason, they thought that they lived in the hotel alone and could well drink, argue and laugh on the balcony at night, and our balconies were only separated by frosted glass. I had to explain to the guys several times that people live around - it helped : -)))

HOTEL-STAFF+WiFi
The staff is wonderful! We arrived at about 12 at night, they met us, they left us a packed lunch, it was VERY PLEASANT! They gave us a room, we looked it up and asked to change it, it was very collapsed… They said that there were no rooms, but in 2 days they would and we would be relocated. We did not remind and somehow got used to, for sure, other rooms are in the same condition. But the staff remembered our request! And a couple of days later we found a note under the door in which we were offered to move if we didn’t change our minds... But we changed our minds, it was a pity to waste time and collect things.
Cleaning is normal, tips do not affect the quality in any way, we experimented ; -)
WiFi in the hotel NO!! ! More precisely, it is so weak that it does not catch even near the reception (where the WiFi free sign hangs). But in our room (near the pool) he caught at night : -) So we suffered with him... We bought a local Lebara SIM card, but there is very little Internet there, practically no... There is a Chinese restaurant next to Catalonia Oro Negro, there is delicious Sangria , large and tasty portions and super-fast WiFi. After dinner, we went there, drank Sangria and surfed the Internet, otherwise - no way...
HOTEL-FOOD
Fed WELL! We had breakfast and dinner. Dinner - several types of meat and fish, there is a lot, everything is enough, there are fruits, there is ice cream, there are not many pastries, but you can find something ; -) Drinks are all paid, but the waiters are not persistent - no, no... Breakfast is more modest, but there are also eggs / omelets, fried bacon, sausages (tasteless), many different yogurts, fruits, tea, coffee. Of course, it gets boring after a week, but it's always like this : -))) Very convenient time, breakfast from 7-00 to 10-00, dinner from 18-30 to 22-00. You can eat early, and later, very convenient!!!
HOTEL-LOCATION/TERRITORY

Convenient location for renting a car, next to the parking lot and the highway. The beaches are a 15-20 minute walk away. If you go down to the beach, then go back to the hotel - up... uncomfortable and far away. To entertainment as much stomp or further. Our room was facing the ocean, but the ocean is far away and almost invisible. The hotel is 3 buildings standing with the letter "P", inside the letter "P" - the territory of the hotel, it is small, the pool is small, but there are several levels, there are for children. There is also a playground for children, but there are practically no children in the hotel.
WEATHER IN SEPTEMBER
The weather in September is quite comfortable. Moderately hot +26…+30, a refreshing breeze blows from the ocean, so several times it was even cool on the beach, especially when you get out of the ocean ; -) Ocean +20…+22 - if it’s hot, then swimming is a pleasure, and if + 26 and the breeze - chilly... but it depends on the thermophilicity, for someone it may be quite acceptable.
EXCURSIONS
Were in LORO-park and SIAM-park - liked it, it makes sense to visit ; -)
We went out into the ocean to watch small whales - we liked it, although we took the cheapest excursion for 2 hours, this was quite enough for us. There are whales, whales have been seen!
We took an individual sightseeing tour of Tenerife from a private guide, not bad... comfortable, at least : -)
We rented a car for 6 days, we ourselves went to the Teide volcano, to the Guimar pyramids, to shopping in Santa Cruz - in general, we traveled the whole island far and wide : -)
GENERAL IMPRESSIONS
As for the dream of a Soviet person - the Canary Islands are a complete disappointment? I didn’t see anything SUCH there... But the impressions of the trip are good, probably because I didn’t expect anything SUCH, I read the reviews in advance ; -) I’m not sure that I will go to Tenerife again someday... I saw everything there... but if If I go, I won’t stop at Catalonia Oro Negro... and I don’t advise anyone... too “tired” hotel, terrible beds... I still want to get enough sleep, and not suffer at night.
