My wife and I spent a week at the Bonanza apartments just before Easter, travelling back on Good Friday. We went with Thomas Cook on a last minute deal on half board basis. The Bonanza Apartments are about 300 metres from the beach, when aproached through the bungalow complex opposite , but are set back in a quiet area.,whilst still being in easy reach of the lively parts of Playa De Las Americas, about a 15 mins slow walk away.. These apartments have obviously been refurbished . Our room on the 7th floor was very clean and all the furniture looked new, as did kitchen implements kettle etc. There was a welcoming bottle of wine, which was nice touch. The bathroom was a bit dated, but the water was hot whatever time of day you needed it. The rooms were not air condidtioned, and would get very hot in the height of summer. It was 25 degs when we were there and we had to sleep with the balcony door open at night, There was very little noise from the front of the hotel, but the rear backs onto the main autoroute through Tenerife and it was quite noisy, although you did get used to it after a while. We were on half board, so had breakfast and evening meals. The meals were not very hot and there was very little choice. The salad selection looked very "tired" like it was topped up not fresh each day. They ran out of plates more than once and having to eat a main meal on a 6 inch plate while a novelty at first became a bit of an irritation after a few days. The holiday when we booked it promised entertainment in the evening, but we were told that did not start until June. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. fresh sheets and towels 5 times a week. The pool area was reached via steps, which could be a problem for some people. We had 2 drinks in the bar only. I object to being charged 1 euro for a splash of lemonade when a glassful was the same price, the drinks were a bit pricy, so we drank at a bar about 100 metres away each evening and got twice as much for our money. All in all we enjoyed the break, but I would not go back to the Bonanza again, unless it was a last minute cheapie! and then I would go self catering. It was what you would expect a 3* hotel to be really, no frills, just basic

Hotel- Clean, quiet but basic.

Room- Fresh towels and bedding 5 days a week. Kettle, toaster, 2 rings, fridge, balcony, tv(pay), twin beds, table and 2chairs. Bathroom with small bath with shower over.

Bar- No entertainment hence quiet. Happy hour in evening 2 for 1 on local drinks.

Pool- Small but plenty of loungers in Dec. Nice elevated seating area for drinks.

Location- Very good. 2min walk through a small park to beach.


All in all a good clean basic base for some winter sun.

We booked this hotel for a very much needed xmas break. We arrived close to midnight after a very long day and were met by an elderly gentleman who didn't speak a word of english. However he did manage to get over to us that the hotel was over booked and we would have to go to another hotel. As it was midnight there was no chance of speaking to a manager so we had no choice. We were downgraded to a 2 star appartment which quite frankly was awful. The next morning we went to reception to complain, we then met at least 4 other couples in the same situation. We had to wait another night before we could have a room at the Bonanza, this wasted 2 days of our much needed break which we spent sorting this out and also repacking our suitcases. We did not receive any apology and therefore if you book this hotel we hope that you are one of the lucky ones, as this is a very good 3 star hotel.

My friend and I booked this holiday end of April hoping to have a bit of a ‘lads holiday’ but turned out it wasn’t all too good. The hotel its self pretty much looks like its something from the 1970’s but I cant fault it to much as it had what we needed. The location however is not so good, on the backstreets of everywhere else. My friend got mugged on the first night walking home drunk outside the hotel; luckily we kept money in the safe so he lost nothing bar a mobile phone. The receptionist did not speak a word of English which was a pain and couldn’t really help us. The police out there are terrible and did nothing for us!
The receptionist during the day was fine and very helpful and spoke clear English. However at night time someone else takes over who is a man who can’t speak a word of English which was a bit of a problem.
The food is okay, pretty much the same every time, and gets a bit boring, we went and eat out sometimes. I wouldn’t recommend it to any fussy eaters.
Night life is okay, nothing special. We went at the end of April; apparently the best time to go is from the beginning of April onwards, so we must have missed out. Lots of bars and clubs and you can pretty much save a lot of money by taking up PR on their offers. Lots of young people out at night time and mainly during the day, its not somewhere I would recommend to people with kids personally.
