We absolutely loved our stay at Granada Park and if we ever gonna come back to Tenerife, we'll choose that resort again! Great value for the money, clean and spacious rooms, probably the biggest holiday apartment we have ever stayed in. We got huge sun terrace, a prefect area for a barbecue party with friends or a quite evening with kids. Staff at the reception very efficient and friendly, taxi rank outside the resort (€5-6 for the trip to Los Cristianos or Playa de Las Americas). My husband and I prefered a lovely walk to the town center at the evening time, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
I can not write anything negative about Granada Park apartments and sincerely I could recommend that resort to anyone, who would love to spend some brilliant time off without unnecessary disappointment!
We will be back!

“Really nice apartments”

Granada Park Apartments

28 Feb 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Got back from Granada 2 days ago and had a really lovely time i went with a friend we are both 27 yr old females. As soon as we entered the apartments we were impressed with the stylish and extremely clean interior and large private balcony, its a beautiful complex which makes up for the fact its not right in the middle of the major resorts, it is however in between two very nice resorts which are both a pleasant walking distance away provided you don't have kids or any problems walking but for two resonably fit young women walking was not a problem and added to the holiday rather than being a problem like it was for some. We didn't have airport transfers so we took the 487 direct from the airport to Playas which was about 2 Euro each and then got a taxi from there to granada park which cost 10 Euro (although I reckon it shoulve been 6 the taxi driver just took advantage of the fact there were no other taxis around to compete with) Its better to get off at los cristianos as it is closer. There is a large bus Terminal at Los Cristianos and we took the bus to Santa Cruz which is a larger town with a shopping mall for a nice day out. There is also a free bus that goes daily from Granada park (apart from Sunday) at 1030 and returns at 1730 which takes you to the los cristianos beach resort where youll find shops, nice restaurants ( I highly recommend Slow Boat Chinese restaurant) and the harbour where you can get lovely seafood or take one of the boat trips to see dolphins or whales, I did see dolphins but was also incredibly sea sick so wouldn't recommend it if you haven't got sea legs as soon as I got on board and saw all the sick bags dotted around I knew it was a bad idea.
The food at the hotel was well priced and very good, the special breakfast can carry you throught to dinner for 6 Euro if you are on a budget.
We went out to Playas on the friday and saturday night and danced the night away but beware of the people trying to offer cheap drink deals cus they are not usually that cheap. We got taxis there and back from the 24 hour taxi rank outside the complex which was fine because we didnt fancy going out every night and because the apartment wa so comfortable we were quite happy to stay in and have some drinks.

Overall a really enjoyable, relaxing holiday I will definately return to Granada park and thought it was great value for money.

“Nice apartments but quiet and remote”

3/4 found this review helpful

I stayed there 12th to 19th February with wife and 2 kids (age 9 and 7). The apartment complex itself is very nice, well laid out, clean, with helpful and polite staff.

However, as has been pointed out it is a vigourous 20 minute walk to Los Cristianos or Playa de Las Americas. It is also surrounded on the Los Cristianos side by wasteland which is awaiting development. You either have to enjoy walking, or use a hire car and/or taxis to get to the beach, restaurants, shops and nightlife. Although there is a taxi rank outside the complex and they are relatively cheap 6 - 10 euros depending which end of the resorts you are going to, I did find it frustrating not to be able to just walk out of the apartment complex and get to the outside attractions. And over a week the cost of taxis will mount up. It didn't particularly bother me walking back in the evening from Los Cristianos (I always felt safe even with the kids), however I would not imaging that this is the same for everyone.

We had a hire car from Autoreisen (110 euros for the week all in booked over the internet) so this helped, but the drink drive limit in Spain is lower than the UK, so it can cramp your activities.

We had a 1 bed apartment and the settee in the living room converted to 2 kids beds (basically a foam mattress). The apartments were very nice (no kettle or microwave), but the fire alarm set right above the hob was extremely sensitive and it was impossible to do any serious cooking without setting this off. The room was cleaned 6 out of the 7 days and linen and sheets changed once. Our room was at the top of the complex which is just off the TF1 motorway so there was a bit of car drone noise.

The pools were pretty chilly, even the heated ones (kids and smaller of the 2 adult pools), but they were ok, clean, safe and there were plenty of sunbeds.

The bar was ok and the food menu was reasonably priced and large enough (lots of English foods), but there just wasn't much atmosphere - you wouldn't choose to go there for a night out.

If the review sounds negative about Granada Park that is unfair. It is a very nice complex, but it just wasn't the right one for us. If you are happy staying in a nice quiet apartment complex, sititng round a smallish simple pool and going to a quietish bar then it is very good. It was good value for money as good deals seem readily available on the internet. If you want more life then you have to build in the additional costs of taxis or car hire, plus the hassle of having to go out and come back - when you are on the beach you can't just pop back for a pair of swimming goggles that the kids have forgotten. Very much a case of horses for courses.

“Decent apartments, on the edge of town”

Granada Park Apartments

9 Feb 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

Me and a friend booked a last minute deal to the Granada Apartments and stayed from the 1st to the 8th Feb.

The apartments are very nice and quiet, there are plenty of sunbeds so no need to get up early, even though we were there in the winter the apartments were still full.

The rooms were all of good size, nicely decorated and very clean. Cleaners come 5 times a week and do a very good job. The kitchen is of decent size so if you do want to make your own food then it is suitable. The TVs in the room also had ITV and BBC so you could always watch some home comforts if you became home sick.

The pool area is very clean and spacious, only downside is the temperature of the pool, very cold in all three, ok for a quick deep to get out of the heat but not comfortable for a prolonged swim.

The reception workers all speak good english and are helpful for anything you might want, eg taxis, safe etc. The restaurant in the hotel is very nice as well. Good choice of food and drinks and the same price as resaurants in the main resorts. The supermarket onsite also sells everything you might need during the day, however closes at 8 so get what you need before then. Once again everything is reasonablty priced however the spirits and alcohol are slightly costly so buy your drinks in the supermarkets in town

Location: we read some reviews saying that this place was in the middle of nowhere however i can assure you this is not the case. Las Americas is a 20 minute walk down a slight hill which is fine and is quiet and peaceful. Los Christianos is slightly further but we only visited there once in our weeks stay, There is always taxis ready and waiting outside and so if you are to tired to walk then this isnt a problem. Taxis into americas of christianos are no more then 6 euros so not really a big deal.

Resort:: being two single lads we went into americas every night, despite the time of year the bars/clubs were all still busy, with plenty of reps to encourage you in.

In all we had a great weeks break in the granada apartments with no real complaints. The location may be a problem for those who dont enjoy a little walk but on holiday in the heat this can be nice anway. Would definatly go back to the resort again.

“Great complex”

Granada Park Apartments

1 Feb 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

Just returned from a week at Granada Park, had not been to Tenerife before so didn't know where we were going to be. Have to say the complex was really good, quiet and plenty of sunbeds but the pools were very cold so not used much. The on-site shop was reasonably priced, although we did find a big supermarket on our last day about 10 mins walk away(uphill coming back). The bar/restaurant was very good value for food and not too expensive for drinks as hotels usually are. The apartments were well set out with plenty of room with cooker, toaster and large fridge/freezer. I took my own kettle as I'd read other reviews.
The distance from Las Americas and Los Cristianos was a problem as we walked down most days and got a taxi back 3 times. We discovered that there was a free bus to Las Americas every day but Sunday near the end of holiday. It goes at 10.30 but doesn't return until 17.30 which can be a long time unless you want to lie on beach.
