went there last week , was really nice apart from the security guard ushering you off to bed at 1am, rooms cleaned three times a week the pool was vwry clean and only 5 foot deep there is also A mini rock pool for kids. you can buy a sun lounger but a lilo or towel will do just fine around the pool you might need a sun brolli for when the sun gets too hot. not much to do here but step outside and turn right wow, there are beaches and restaurants and night spots to the left and right, excursions were reasonable , make sure you check around as to get the best price, they said buffet and drinks on our excursion but we only got a sandwich and a cheap can of pop or beer ,. loads of hassle from lookie lookie men and brits trying to sell you timeshare rubbish. all in all you could party all night or relax at the beach club then go to a restaurant and watch the sun go down lovely. would recommend lor parque's dolphin and orca shows, if youve got kids cost 29 euros includes bus transfer to and from a nearby pickup . journey time around 4hrs roundtrip

It was one week of good vacations with my wife and son. The food was magnificent and all the staff was very likeable and friendly. And for who wants calm vacations, with much sun, and a swimming pool (or the beach) to all time, the Aparthotel Panorama is the ideal. And is not very expensive for these its good conditions.

Panorama Aparthotel Costa Adeje Tenerife. Great Location
We have just returned from the Panorama Aparthotel, Tenerife.
The tansfer coach dropped us off on the road outside of the hotel grounds, as the gates were closed & there was only a small car parking area anyway, inside the hotel grounds. There were a lot of Germans at the Panorama, there were not many English there when we were there.

The Reception-
We booked in & had to pay 60 euro on arrival as a deposit against damages. The 60 euro was returned to you at the end of your stay. The safe to hire was 28 euro you got 10 euro of that back when you handed in your safe key.

The Studio Room-
We were pleasantly suprised at the size of the studio room. There were 2 single beds, with a bedside cabinet to share in between them. An L shaped seating area, plenty of room for 2 people.The room was well equipped for anyone self catering with a hob with 2 rings, plenty of plates, cutlery etc & a fridge.
There was no air con only a ceiling fan, which we had switched on for most of the time. There is a safety catch on the patio door leading to the balcony, enabling you to leave the patio door slightly ajar but secure.The balcony was a good size with a table & 2 chairs. There was an airer on the balcony which you had to pull out it had about 6 lines on it enough space for towels, swimwear. We were in room 139 which overlooked the pool & with a view of Mount Teide.

The Food-
We stayed half board but were not impressed with the food, not very appetising.There were only 4 baymarie's of hot food. At breakfast there were side plates in which you put your breakfast on. Nearly all the week we were there the bacon was burnt & the fried eggs were cold. There were boiled eggs which had already been cooked but there was a pan on the heat to warm the eggs up. There were cereals & yoghurts. At dinner there were salads, hot food, desserts & ice-cream. The desserts were o.k. There is a barbeque night once a week.
We ate out for a lot of the time. For 2 meals & drinks it was only about 9 euro.

The Enertainment-
There was a man playing an organ & one night there was a man singing. There was not much in entertainment but we went out every night so it didn't matter to us.

The Staff-
The staff were very pleasant they got to know who you were & handed you your key as you walked into reception. Each time you left the hotel you were expected to leave the key on your way out. There was a secure drop in box on the reception counter that you would drop your room key into.

Security-
The security man was on site as we entered the hotel. As it was the key had jammed in one of our suitcases & we could not open it. I asked him if he could help us get the case open. He tried for a while to open it with the key but it wouldn't open. Then he promptly appeared with some boltcroppers asked if he could use them & chopped the padlock off the case, now that's service!

The Maids-
The maids came every day apart from Thursday & Sunday. If you wanted a change of towels you were to leave the towels in the bath. The maid who cleaned our room was pleasant enough.

Sunbeds-
The sunbeds are stacked up & locked every night at 8p.m. They are not unlocked til 9a.m. the next day. That way people cannot throw their towels on the sunbeds to reserve them. The mattresses & parasols for around the pool are 1.50 euro each to hire. The maintenance man stands outside of the restuaurant with his barrow twice a day at 10.30a.m. & then 12.30p.m. for anyone wishing to hire the sunbed mattress or parasol. Although there is a shaded spot where trees branches overhang I did notice a German family got this spot everyday hence they had no need to hire a parasol. Two maintenance men checked & cleaned the pool every day, about 8a.m.

Location-
The location of the Panorama is ideal. As you walk out of the hotel & turn right walk down a slope & the beach is right in front of you. Or turn right at the bottom of the slope & there are cafe's & shops there is a netto there. The harbour is opposite the shops. If you turn left at the bottom of the slope it takes you along the seafront, there are bars & shops galore all the way along. There are a few English bars. If you carry on walking it will take you all the way to Playa de las Americas. If you turn left as you go out of the hotel & walk up the hill you are on the main strip. Across the road is the San Eugenio shopping centre. All along that strip there are cafe's/bars & shops. We ate at Mario's a few times

We went on a 3 hr catamaran trip to watch whales & dolphins. We saw the whales but no dolphins. The food & bar were included in the trip but all you got was a sandwich & what tasted like cheap drink. I don't think it was worth what it cost &in hindsight we would have gone on the 2 hr trip with no swim. On the 3 hr trip the boat stops for about 20 mins to allow for people who want to go for a swim, in the sea. The 3hr trip cost 27 euro each, the 2hr trip was 17 euro each. We booked the trip with Admiral travel which is opposite Mario's. Admiral travel also has a good exchange rate commission free. We got 1.44 euro for every pound.

I would stay at the Panorama again for the location alone but I would stay on a self catering basis & eat out.
