21st March
Just arrived back from Costa Adeje for the 3rd time in 8 months, and the weather was fantastic in March. The first and second visits we stayed in 4 star hotels, but this time we flew from our local airport and none of our usual hotels were available. We read the reviews on the Parque Del Sol which were very good, and booked it. From the moment we arrived we knew we had done very well. The staff are the most helpful people we have ever met abroad,they go out of their way to ensure you are OK. They speak very good English considering that the complex caters for evey nationality (there is a varied mix of Scandinavian, German, Italian and even Russian).
There is always an army of cleaners who are constantly cleaning everything and I mean everything.
The apartments have a large bedroom, a large living room, kitchen and bathroom. Forget packing your essentials, they are already there - iron, ironing board and hair dryer. Even if you are half board, you get a fridge, microwave, cooker, all your kitchen utensils and a TV with about 15 channels (not all english). The balcony was huge with chairs tables an parasol. The apartments are spaced well and the grounds are like a tropical rain forest complete with tropical birds.
We went half board and the food in the restaurant was fantastic with great variety (so dont expect to lose any weight there). There is a dress code in the evening and men are expected to wear long trousers.
The pool area is superb for children and adults alike they also have a jacuzzi, and the pool bar is a nice touch also. Cannot comment on the entertainment or the Gym as we didn't use either.
The complex is only a 2 minute walk from Fanabe beach or a 10 minute walk (past the 'blow hole')to El Duque beach.It is well out of the Americas circuit so if you want 'lively', then Cost Adeje is not for you. the resort is 'plush', and caters for family, couples and elderly and is full of 4 and 5 star hotels and some superb bars and shopping malls.
If you can get the Parque Del Sol, then GO, you will do better than some of the 4 star hotels in the area believe me. We will come here again and again.
