A few of the reviews on here a bit harsh. Booked the apartments before looking at the reviews - when I searched for reviews I had to literally be dragged there. No way out.

So we arrived at the Pardiso Del Sol, got our keys, safe keys and map. Then we were escorted through the hotel, down a big ramp, past the Paradero1 apartments and a few dead cockroaches (ARRRRGH!!!), over a bridge, through a dodgy gate (need the nack to this gate otherwise you'll have no chance! lock is very fiddly!), up some stairs, up some more stairs and to the paradero2 apartments which was to be our home for the next 7days. Room 037 we were allocated.

We entered our room, I was scared out of my wits what was on the otherside of that door, but it was a pleasant sight! A lovely clean bathroom, with all santized things on, a big bath and a detatchable shower. Super. Kitchen with all utensils including toaster, 2 single beds, table, 2 chairs and a sofa bed. Patio 3 chairs and table. All very bright and clean, no complaints.

All in all, we had around 8 cockroaches all week (the infestation was under the fridge as I watched them come and go!, I'm absolutely terrified of them and my other half is now a serial cockroach killer! I didn't sleep for the first 3 nights and had to get some sleeping tablets to help me sleep! I didn't want to wake up and find one of them things crawling on me.) and a ton of ants, on the bathroom sink, toliet and our headboard. There were more ants inside than out! They were only the tiny ones though and to be honest, didn't really bother me, too worried about the cockroaches!. We should of complained really, but didn't as we couldn't be bothered with the hassle as it was only a place to lay our heads and get changed...Walls are paperthin and you can hear EVERYTHING that's going on. From people walking through at 5am to get to their apartments to the rampant next door neighbours we had.

Two pools in the whole complex. Both quite small for the size of the complex and sometimes did get overcrowded and had to wait for sun loungers. Pool quite cold too despite being told it was heated to 25degrees at all times...oooh no it's not!

Pool bars nice, the staff very friendly and food great! I'd recommend the apartments for budget holiday-ers who aren't too bothered about sharing with horrible, useless creatures and young groups. Very central location but a lot of messing trying to get to reception, through the dodgy gates and trying to get my case up and down them ramps and stairs weren't very good either! I wouldn't stay here again myself but there are cockroaches and ants everywhere. It's all part of Tenerife.

we stayed in the el paradero 2 apartment for a week. on arrival we were dropped at the parisio del sol to collect our keys. it was at this point that we were told that we needed a 30 euro deposit per person!!!
they wanted to keep one of our passports overnight- why???
after being dropped at the apartment, we struggled to open the door, then found a cockroach crawling through the cupboards.
and then to top it off, a self catering apartment had no kettle. it was like living in the dark ages.
we were not really informed about using the facilites at the pariso del sol hotel.
i would not reccomend that you stay unless you really have to. the hacienda hotel next door was far superior.
aside from that playas las americas is a great place to go.

For a 2 star hotel I was very impressed. The staff were lovely and the hotel is very clean. Only 1 or 2 problems with cockroaches but you can get free spray from reception so go and get it spray your room when you go out and there are no problems. I would say do not under any circumstances leve balcony doors open whatever level you are on as you will be robbed whilst you are sleeping. We had a fantastic holiday there plenty for the children to do every day and the childrens playmakers really made an effort. There was entertainment every evening and it was of a high quality. All in all it is very good value for money and i would stay there again.

We have just returned from a week in the paradero the first day we had are room broken into and all are personal possesions stolen. The room was coverd in ants all over & then at night are frendly crockroches came out. the pool area was ok in need of some upgrading just a long treck to get there also watch out when you buy your drink from the bar different prices every time. but what do u expect from a 2 star holliday??
