Europe Villa Cortes

Our favourite place. Can’t wait to return in March . Everything about this hotel is fantastic from the staff to the breakfast . We come here as a couple and also bring my parents who are in love with this hotel to . It’s in such a good location and just a short ride from the Tenerife south airport . Fantastic short walk to the beach and all restaurants and shops. The pool is great and great choice of loungers . The rooms are of great size with fantastic views .

These comments are written by a retired couple travelling extensively. Coming to Teneriffa and Villa Cortes was like coming to a Mexican home. The hotel is wonderfully built and very stylish. Lots of art pieces and paintings decorating the hotel, both inside and outside. A lot of magnificent steel statues with an extraordinary look. Nicely arranged and fresh flowers throughout the hotel. The courtyard is beautiful with swimming pool, waterfall and a lot of trees and other vegetation. Optimal for people wanting sun and for those wanting little shadow. There is a bar in the pool area but we would have appreciated a bar service around the pool. The rooms are all different. Our room was excellent, large with an comfortable king size bed and a sitting area both inside and outside on a covered balcony. Also the room was nicely stylished with harmonic colours and interesting paintings. The bathroom was huge with twin sinks and a bide. The breakfast is fantastic, one of the best we ever had and we have a lot of experience in this field. However, one improvement can be made – There are not enough charging sockets in the room. The hotel location is fantastic in the middle of the downtown area and the beach. There are a lot of restaurants in the area. Also the hotel has several restaurants; one of them going for a Michelin star. The very best impression is coming from the staff. They are nice and professional making the holiday to a memorable experience. As an example, members of the management team walks around during breakfast having a dialogue with the guests. This is a private owned hotel and our impression is that these contacts means a lot to them, as it does for the guests. Our comments were perhaps too long, but we really liked this hotel and the staff. We will certainly come back! Hedi and Ulf – Visit 2 weeks in November 2022

Currently staying at the Villa Cortes, las America’s Tenerife. On the whole the hotel is a good standard, we are in room 206 which has a pool and beach view. The decor of the hotel is traditional Spanish/Mexican theme. Light and airy it is not and may not to be everyone’s taste. Personally I like it and it makes a change to a lot of modern generic hotels. The hotel, rooms, beach and pool area are kept clean to a high standard. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. If you want a quiet relaxing time without loud pool music, aqua Zumba and other activities being forced at you then this is the place for you. You will be left in peace with your book or whatever during your stay. However, there are few issues that can be improved. 1. The pool area has a bar which is well stocked with named brands, there are plenty sunbeds and shaded areas. One drawback, no waiter service in the pool area, something I found disappointing in a 5 star. 2. The hotel has its own beach area, which again has well stocked bar this time with waiter service. But here’s the kicker, beach sun loungers are an additional €10 a day rental each, need a parasol for shade? That’ll be an extra €5 rental charge per day. So two of you, a day on the hotels own beach will set you back an additional €25 per day before food and drink. 3. The mini bar although well stocked with branded products is eye wateringly expensive. €5 for a kitkat, yes a kitkat, mixers such as Pepsi or tonic a tiny 20cl can €3.50, a small vodka 5cl will set you back €6.50 and a miniature bottle of Moët 20cl well that will be €36 sir. Feeling extravagant? Ice cubes for your drink €5 … yes €5 for frozen water. Fancy a coffee in your room? one of those George Clooney pods types? That’ll be €5 per pod please. Now I’m a realist, and don’t expect something for nothing, but really. The hotel is not cheap, it’s rated 5 star and it almost hits that mark, it’s the shameless profiteering once your here that leaves a sour taste in what could/should be my go to place in Tenerife. Would i return? Probably not.
