Hotel Hardin Tropical 4* plus:
The hotel was opened in 1988 and apparently at that time was the best in Tenerife. The hosts are trying to maintain a high bar even now. Beautiful architecture - snow-white Moroccan positive style - stands out against the background of most brick-and-concrete boxes of neighboring hotels. Excellent cuisine - we had BB, these are the best breakfasts from more than a dozen 5 * hotels in different countries that we have visited. Great meat, jamon sausages, cheeses - a separate conversation, pastries, champagne, etc.
Location. Hotel in the first line from the ocean. For Tenerife, this is very significant, because 95% of the hotels are not clear where, and the hotels do not have their own beaches, but all are municipal. So this hotel has. True, you swim not in the sea, but in a pool of sea water, in peace and quiet from the anthills of public beaches.
Between the beach of the hotel and the hotel there is a pedestrian promenade that runs along the entire coast from Las Americas to Costa Adeje. I left the hotel, you want to go right, you walk, you want to go left. Everywhere beauty, bars, shops, restaurants, sunset ...super. No nearby discos or other noisy establishments.
Five minutes walk from the hotel, two small beaches with sand from the Sahara. We did not like them - the sand is very fine, like dust. A little wind blows and it turns out a mini sandstorm. We walked 5 minutes further (to the right) to the black sand beach. There, the water area is larger and somehow more exotic.
Accommodation. It's not clear here. For example, our possible problems were resolved through 40 euros at the reception at the settlement. A suite was received with an ocean view, marble, Grohe plumbing, a terrace and a complete set from slippers to bathrobes, etc. But those who lived in standards often asked to change their rooms.
I'm also not sure about the comfort of the rooms overlooking the restaurant and the embankment (the left wing of the hotel) where it's noisy and there are unpleasant odors. There was always a Russian-speaking girl Oksana at the reception, who helped with any questions. There were about 30% Russians in the hotel. No discrimination was observed. In general, Spaniards are very friendly. Hotel age. Very few young people and those mostly with children. If someone needs a party and movement, then you should go to another hotel.
Territory. Not big, but very green. inside the hotel there is a swimming pool with warm fresh water, by the sea - a beach with cold ocean water. It is not easy to swim in the ocean itself, because the coast is littered with boulders to protect against waves. Although I managed to carefully descend and dive with a mask and fins. Beach fights resented, but not for long. It was more difficult to get out, because even a small wave could hit the stones hard.
The daredevil following me could not get out and swam to the public beach (400 meters : ). The hotel is constantly prichuhivayut and tint, but its age is still very noticeable. I agree with the reviews that it would have been possible to change the rugs in the corridors a long time ago, paint all the walls, etc. If you are used to glamor, then you are not here.
Prices. The prices are very reasonable throughout the resort. Even compared to our prices in Odessa or, for example, Turkey and Egypt. On the waterfront in restaurants, always be interested in special offers or happy-hour, when there are discounts. Basically it is in the afternoon until 18.00. Here are the average prices in euros:
Beer 1 in the afternoon - 2-2.5 in the evening
Fish with garnish - from 4 to 10
Shrimp clams - 6 to 12
Paella 9 to 12
Lobsters on average 35 per piece.
Sangria (their wine) 5 to 8 per litre.
Portions are usually large. Always order 1 for two and only then see if it is worth making an additional order. Save a lot. On average, a lunch or dinner with beer and wine for 2 cost about 20 euros.
If tiger prawns or expensive fish were added, then 30 euros.
The best restaurant on the waterfront, fortunately the closest to the hotel - El Mago - just to the right of the hotel. It never has discounts. But there is the best cuisine, average prices and very large portions. Another 20 meters behind it is a sports pub. There is no food, but very cheap booze. Beer is always 1 euro, and very tasty Sangria 4.95 per liter. In general, a strange drink - you drink it like juice, it cuts like moonshine.
The shops. Cheap, everything is cheap. Cosmetics and clothes like Zara and Mango - two, two and a half times. And not in duty free! Shop on the island. Mango and bananas 1-1.5 euros per kg. Cheeses and salami - from 2 to 8 euros in a supermarket. Branded clothes are average. Watches and jewelry are much cheaper than ours, but not cheaper than, for example, in Dubai.
Tours. We were on a safari on scooters with dolphins, took a catamiran yacht, watched whales and turtles, went to Loro Park and Siam Park, went on a survey through the volcano to the north coast and to Masca.
All of the above are counts. Definitely a must see. They took from Maris on tenerife-excursions. ru - much cheaper than teztur. But the thesis must be given credit - their guides are incomparably stronger than others. I advise you not to sting and take a review from them. Was on a fishing trip.... we didn't catch anything. They wanted a big one and swam trolling for 3.5 hours. It would be better to take bottom fishing.
By the way, the northern coast is 10 times more picturesque.
Whether or not to take a car is up to you. But I warn you, parking is very bad. Parking 200-300m from your destination is good luck. Serpentine in the mountains in the Mask - not for the faint of heart. If you have the opportunity - travel around the northern towns, embankments and beaches - the color and beauty are indescribable.
Have a good holiday everyone!
