Stayed here for week in sep,booked a superior room with Thomson whilst the the hotel is slightly old, it is yet another for my list of hotels i have stayed and paid for. Everyone you met wished you hola and it was a genuine greeting not just hotel policy im sure. Santiago and his staff in the restaurant saw to... more

We booked a room for 4 and were put in a room 2 floors underground which smelt strongly of damp. The hotel refused to move us, saying there were no other rooms for 4 except on this floor. Half the hotel was actually closed for refurbishment so this may well have been true but the staff didn't look as if... more

My boyfriend and I booked a 10 day holiday with thomas cook staying at the El Tope. When we arrived at the hotel, it was obvious that it needed updating a little, however, when we went to our room it was a really good size and spotlessly clean, and we had a very large balcony overlooking the town and the... more

We arrived at the hotel El Tope on 19 June 09 at around 2pm. We were extremely pleased with the rooms allocated. Our son, girlfriend and grandson were in Room 128 and we stayed in room 127.

Having never written on any of these sort of sites before I feel motivated to do so after reading the most recent reviews and only arriving home yesterday the 22nd April from staying 1 week at the El Tope. To say we we're disappointed with the cleanliness of the hotel would be an understatement as when we arrived there were... more

El Tope far exceded our expectations. The buffet breakfast and dinner offered a huge selection with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables always available. The freshly grilled fish was also superb. We booked a basic package holiday through Thomas Cook but our room was spacious with excellent balcony and a view of the sea, pool and El Teide. We had... more

I'm actually writing this review from the hotel. Found a free wi-fi connection. The hotel is good and the food is excellent it does look a little run down from the outside but don't be put off. The rooms are very spacious and clean and staff are very helpful. The hotel has a lot of Germans but we have had... more
