My husband and I just returned from Tenerife (09/10/09 - 09/25/09) - we really liked the island itself (unusual black sand, rich underwater world), only one thing: fishing, which was so touted on the Internet - it is practically there No, if there is, then for a lot of money, and after that it’s not a fact that you, in general, will catch something (little fish, but where is the blue marlin, about which they wrote so much), and diving - for which, in fact, we there and let's go! - he is there - DISGUSTING!! ! - you came with your equipment, or you use them - EVERYTHING THE PAYMENT is the same, you cannot rent it, for example, as in Egypt, only a cylinder and loads !! ! - they, there anyway, ROW money to the fullest! - in i-net they wrote that HUNTING is allowed (except for protected areas) - AGAIN, LITTLE, a fine for 1 fish - 2.000 Euro !! ! - and, what....we dragged our equipment and speargun there!?? ? - service TAM - leaves much to be desired!
As for the HOTEL - this is, in general, a NIGHTMARE !! ! El Marquis Palace - complete SUCK, everything they write about on the Internet - DOES NOT CORRECT TO REALITY!
We lived in apartments T1 - the furniture is old, in the bathroom the bottom of the cabinet was stratified, it looked just HORRIBLE! Room cleaning - carried out - 1 time in 3 days, towels - did not change on time, our foot towel for 2 days was "black", dirty - so cleaning ladies - did not bother to change it! - in the trash locker - just "HUGE" cockroaches climbed, and it was not only with us, we asked our friends from another room - they also saw in their room - this COCKROACH !! ! The pool - in the evening, when I wanted to swim - DID NOT WORK, but in the morning and at lunch - terribly chlorinated! The view from the hotel is good only if you live on the upper floors, on the 1st floor there is a road, people and constant NOISE!! ! - We lived on the 3rd floor - and then, the view was good only on the right side (on the rocks of Los Gigantes), and on the left - there was a construction site !! ! -view, simply, "WONDERFUL" !! ! - and, ALL THIS claims to be 4-5 *, as they indicate on some sites, that, they don’t want to give 2 stars !! ! - the hotel from the outside - looks very old, there are cracks on some walls !! ! The hotel has not been renovated for about 10 years (it opened in 2000), for a hotel - this is already a very long time! There, we heard that the director The (owner) of this hotel has already put the apartments up for sale a long time ago, but for ALL 10 years he will not sell them out!! ! - Yes, that says a lot!! ! Employees who work at the reception speak only Spanish and English, although the flow of Russian tourists there from year to year is increasing and increasing (now it is already 10%) , just a couple of years ago - it was 0.1% !! ! To the beach, walk at all for 5 minutes, as they indicated - a, 30 minutes. - we spotted! - a fixed-route taxi, which they let go to the beaches - "go" out of time, often late, and arrive at the wrong time, sometimes it was not there at all! Internet - NO, or rather it is, but for money (compared to hotels in Egypt, Turkey) - it is expensive, and terribly SLOW (you won’t want anything while you sit there) !!!
The guides who work there - get a "kickback" from a certain one person, and therefore they will "shove" you the excursion with which he has agreements !! ! - therefore, there is NO choice! Diving - which the guide offered us there - cost 75 Euro, and a ride to the neighboring town of 10 minutes. - and diving there will already be 30 Euros (if you have a certificate. German airlines "Lufthanza" - lost our luggage when we arrived in Tenerife - so, the employees of El Marquis Palace - did nothing to somehow find it , they were deeply "PUT" on our problems! -On their website it was indicated when we went there to them that the gym, sauna and other entertainment were open - when we arrived there, NOTHING WORKED, and they did not even warn - Any entertainment program (animators) - ABSENT, you are not needed there, no one cares about you, is not interested! Therefore, I would like to warn EVERYONE about the rest in "El Marquis Palace"!! ! - because of this lousy hotel, we have "bad" memories of the island, although it is very interesting! etc. ) - in general, there was only one NEGATIVE !! ! - people, do not see what they write ! ! (CHECK !! )
