Arriving in the Canary Islands, geographically you find yourself in Africa: to get to the coast of Morocco, you need to overcome only 115 km. In the south of the island, where the hotel is located, in the place of Las Americas, exceptional weather always reigns. Here, endless gray sand beaches coexist with all kinds of entertainment (Siam Park, monkey zoo, eagle park, discos and many branded stores).
By the way, my advice: do not try to find out the weather on the island on the Internet before leaving on vacation - when it rains in Santa Cruz, in Las Americas, the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Here, it practically never happens above 30 and below 20 degrees (there are up to 70 microclimatic zones on the island).
The hotel is located almost in the heart of Las Americas in the Santgo Park area, it corresponds to the status of 4 stars, but one can note slightly outdated furniture and the absence of a store with drinks and products, although there are 3 supermarkets a few steps away, the choice is more in the one located in santiago park area 4.

Food at the hotel: as we were told in the Free Time travel agency (by the way, for more than three years, we have been buying tours only there, thanks girls! ): the food is better than in the restaurant. (Hot - pork steaks, several times were from trout, 3 types of fish, chicken, mussels, shrimp, and much more; wine from 8 euros per bottle, freshly squeezed orange juice 3.5, water 2.5, beer 2.5 , ice cream, various desserts, from fruits: grapes, oranges, apples, bananas, pineapples, kiwi). In the mornings (breakfast, like everywhere else, is classic), almost every day there are bottles of champagne in an ice bucket - for free!!!
I recommend trying sauces at the hotel, especially mojo, they are amazing: specially as a souvenir, sets of several types of sauce are sold in stores.
They clean the room every day, there is a hair dryer, a safe (10 euros deposit) and like 2 euros per day, a refrigerator for free, shampoo, soap, gel, toothbrushes, shaving kits, combs, just pick up immediately bring new ones.
The staff are Spaniards, no one speaks Russian, everyone is friendly.
You can rent a bike, right at the hotel 9 euros per person, we rode great all over Las Americas.
Tip: choose a hotel closer to the center, from my point of view, the Conquistador is located in an ideal location (there is no obsessive youth like in Sol Tenerife and Gran Tenerife, not far away, which is what almost all good 5 star hotels sin). Nightlife, shops 5 minutes walk.
For 2 weeks of vacation, we left the island with bewilderment: everything is already so fast?
