Твердая четверка без притензий на изысканность Solid four without pretensions to sophistication

We were in this hotel 2 years ago. Of course, there are changes both for the better and for the worse. But this is most likely due to the economy. Here are some examples:
a) a restaurant - they no longer cook in front of visitors, but simply take food out of the kitchen into a tray and arrange it for distribution, which leads to queues and simply empty trays; the chocolate fountain, which our child liked so much, disappeared; on Fridays they laid out a large number of shrimp, but this time they were replaced with mussels; now you put ice cream on yourself and can be seasoned with three types of syrups, nuts and chocolate chips, which is very good, and the packaged one is left only in the bar and is issued on demand; there is table setting and now it is unnecessary to look for a fork and knife; coffee machines were replaced with more modern ones; I was disappointed by the lack of a dress code at dinner, it’s rather unpleasant to look at almost half-naked people; it seemed to us that it had somehow become less diverse in terms of the choice of dishes;
b) a bar - there are only pluses here, because. a rather large counter was added and if earlier in the evening you sometimes had to queue for a portion of alcohol, now the problem has been solved and those who are thirsty are served much faster; the quality of drinks has not changed in any way; for those who want to make or change a cocktail on their own, there are bottles of lime, pomegranate, blackcurrant syrups;

c) animation - as always at its best, there were also visiting artists with parrots, snakes, incendiary dances, live music, and the team from the hotel itself entertained the vacationers very adequately;
d) numbers - in some places they patched up, painted, but no major repairs were made; we didn’t have a container with shower gel and instead they put soap, which is not very convenient; some rooms have lcd panels, but because there is only one Russian channel, then it was not critical for us, and this is not what we came for; cleaning is done daily and remains at the proper level; towels are changed daily, but some are frankly old and almost worn out; there are problems with water pressure and it was not always possible to wash off waste products the first time, which led to an unpleasant smell, and if someone rinses in the shower, then please do not rinse and do not use the sink. you can hear the mat and learn a lot about yourself; in general, nothing has changed;
d) BBQ - this is where they saved their breath, last time we had unlimited access to grilled meat and the side dish was more varied, there was a wine list and you could treat yourself to more expensive and better wine, now there are fresh vegetables and meat they bring in portions, and drinks are only from the bar menu, and everything is cooked anyhow, decide for yourself whether to go or not. this service is provided to everyone on the AI ​ ​ system once a week by appointment.
In general, the holiday was a success, if you like the ocean and black sand, then I would recommend this hotel primarily to couples with children, but if you are used to frying your bodies by the pools, then definitely not. We, most likely, will return to this hotel again. It meets our requirements, albeit not 100%.

Did you order a tour from TUI and are you satisfied with the quality in principle? but Utair disappointed with old planes and feeding, but the pilots and staff were on top. I do not recommend buying excursions from your tour operator, because the prices are too high and you will not always be served lunch. We found the Tenerife Kompass office and took everything from them, very worthy and high quality, plus discounts and everything is in Russian. Interactive map of Tenerife Kompass location:

Do not be afraid to go on vacation to Europe, no one cares what country you come from. The attitude towards Russians is peace-loving and most of the political disagreements of the arbiters of the world are violet.
