Hotel Gran Oasis Resort

È un bel resort per una giovane famiglia. Si prega di notare che è piuttosto lontano dalla spiaggia di Playa de America e su una ripida collina. Avevamo la nostra camera in cima alla collina, sembrava quasi di dover salire 4 piani per arrivare alla camera. Opzioni vegetariane limitate nel cibo caldo. Questo è abbastanza comune in qualsiasi altro resort nelle Isole Canarie. Quindi preparatevi a scendere a compromessi. Abbiamo ottenuto 4 letti singoli. Se siete una coppia che ha bisogno di un letto matrimoniale, questo potrebbe essere un problema 😉. Il parcheggio costa 5 € al giorno, anche se l'hotel è lontano dalle spiagge. Questa è una cosa che dovrebbero fornire gratuitamente. Nessuna possibilità di parcheggio all'esterno a causa della ripida collina. Abbiamo chiesto di spostare la nostra camera più in basso perché mia moglie ha l'asma, ma non siamo stati molto fortunati.

We travelled as a family of four, two adults and two children aged 14 and 10. This was our first visit to Tenerife and we visited during October half term. There were positives and a couple of negatives but overall we had a good time, I just don't think it was the right location for us. Room - duplex one bedroom apartment. Wonderfully spacious and clean, beds all very comfortable. The extra beds in the living room area were much better than some of the converted 'sofa beds' we have experienced on other holidays. I would be worried about the layout if my children were younger but perfect for us. Only negatives for the room was the hot water would run out after 2 people had showered. Reception said each room have a small individual water tank so it needed 15 mins to re heat the water. After staggering our showers we all had hot water. Cleaning service and fresh towels daily if that is your preference. Despite the hot water it was one of the best rooms we have stayed in as a family of four over 14 years of all inclusive holidays across Spain. Location - the hotel is a long way from the heart of the resort and the beach. We did walk to the main shopping area one day and walk back, it was about 4.5 miles (according to my fitness app). There are no shops close by but the hotel has a small onsite supermarket that was reasonably priced. The hotel also has little independent sellers some days offering things like jewellery, clothing, trinkets. The hotel felt a bit isolated when we are used to a daily holiday stroll to the tourist areas but if you are someone who doesn't want to leave the hotel they do bring a lot of extras to you. The hotel is on the side of a mountain and there are lots of steps, didn't bother us at all as we appreciated the views from our balconies but may be an issue for less able bodied visitors. Dining - We found the restaurant very busy on certain days, this is the first All Inclusive we have been on where we have had to queue for a table (not all days) and the queues were sometimes very large. It felt like the restaurant wasn't big enough when the hotel was at capacity (although I have to say the staff work so hard to get the tables cleaned and people seated). Once seated, when busy, it was very chaotic, in my opinion there were not enough food serving areas so long queues formed and not all food was available (often a long wait for the chef cooked meat). Food standard for me is that of a budget 4 star, we certainly didnt starve but the food was definitely not 'wow'. Given what we paid I think it was value for money, the chaos annoyed me more than the standard of the food. Best meal of the day was breakfast. Self service drinks in the restaurant and no issue with that, all drinks were a good quality. Pool bar, opens at 11am. We very much appreciated the self service cokes/lager/wines. So nice not to queue for these. Cocktails/slushies available from the pool bar and never a large queue. The food area has a lot of flies whic
