Food dreadful,rabbit?,no ham or meat for salads lunch times,sweets,red,green,orange jelly,angel delight,banana fresh one day marinated the next,lunch and evening meal,chips with everything. Hing,but nothing for children to eat except chips,no burgers,fish fingers.fresh veg once a week rest tined,not sure the white sauce were done in,dreadful.

Entertainment fashion show done free by the girls selling beach wear,parrot show free until it comes to. Using a photo very expensive,animal show tortoise ,lizard,owl and yellow snake,this is the snake man who us on,y there to sell photos with the clients once again expensive,flamenco show,a dancer,a singer who was singing along to record ,.

The pool was clean and spectacular ,staff king,helpful,,apartment cleaning staff,good.

No will not be going back have given it more than one chance but seems to be going down hill,especially the food.

Have dived in Las Galletas before and stayed elsewhere, big mistake because having found this hotel it will be my base for years to come.

Rooms are of a good size with balcony for drying off kit. Room service kept the room very clean and tidy. Being all inclusive for the first time in my life was a little daunting but what a bargain ! From breakfast through lunch, snacks and evening meal, everything fitted in well with our diving schedules - the bonus was the food was good and free drinks on tap .....what more could you ask for. Don't listen to any old moaners who like to complain for a living, this Hotel for thr price rates 10 out of 10

Just returned from Tenerife after 10 amazing days. The hotel was very good value. Food was different and lots of varieties daily, staff very friendly. The pool was amazing and the great weather helped. Even if you had no sun there was enough entertainment to keep you busy. The area was quiet and very close to the Harbour in Las Giagantes if you wanted a lively night. It was just what we were looking for.

On a bad note the hotel itself needs a good reburbish on the outside - inside we could not fault a thing apart from no air con - overall very happy with our holiday and would defo recommend for families, couples and youngsters.

absolutley great--- apartments- very clean and spacious,food a bit repetative but very nice indeed,drinks various ,gin,vodka ,sangria etc...POOL AMAZING biggest i have ever seen..it has fresh atlantic ocean water coming in to it fab!!...lots of space round the pool side NO NEED TO DASH FOR SUNBEDS LOADS OF THEM AT ALL TIMES OF DAY. 20 mins from airport.. aLL ROUND A GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY HOLIDAY WILL DEFO GO BACK...p.s. dont be put off by the outside front of building its fab when you get inside.from lou and blue warrington 2011.

We had read many reviews before going on our family holiday here and were a little cautious but we had an amazing holiday and you get wht you pay for. The food although limited was lovely and the entertainment seemed to be run by one guy but kept the kids amused so that made us happy. There was no kids club or entertainment program in the day as advertised to us by low cost holidays and definately no free wifi but all in all we wanted a nice relaxing holiday and that is what we got.

The staff were friendly the pool was amazing ad the rooms had so much space was unbelieveable.

All ten bel alborada needs is a lick of paint, a little more choice of food and maybe a propa entertainment team and it would be fantastic.

Costa Del Silencio, Ten Bel Alborada;

Spent two weeks at this destination, close to airport, 20 minutes if going direct. Read other reviews before I went so was not surprised by outside look of buildings, however apartments were large and clean and good value for money. The best things about this complex is the swimming pool, I would guess 100 meters by 60 meters, amazing. Although large complex, about 800 people, always space in the pool. I felt food was of a good standard, 4 meals a day if needed. Location was fine, 20 minutes on the bus to main tourist attractions, fares cheap, bus stop very near complex. Plenty of shops near complex for anything you forgot to bring with you.

Staff very helpful and friendly. I would recommend to others if you are looking for a place to chill for a few weeks, if you looking for a party town catch the bus to the main tourist areas. All together I was happy with my time there and will return again in the future.

Hi there!!

On arrival we were allocated room 420 and on our first night we found that the noise from the traffic and the grill outside was unbearable. Luckily on complaining to reception we were moved the very next day to the more suitable and quieter room. As the coach arrived at Alborada, we were amazed at how grim the hotel looked, we were all like is this us? is this not a car park?? As we looked around the hotel it was better, very basic but we were pleased that it was a good value for money.

The pool is very very big and when we arrived it was such a beautiful colour and we were very happy with it- which did not last for long. The pool only gets cleaned once a week which is a big big disappointment, as after a couple of days it turns very dirty and it ends up looking like a pond- which is NOT very inviting.

The room we stayed in for the rest of the holiday was fine, nice and spacious and has all the fascilities such as pots and pans etc, that a normal kitchen has. The food in the restaurant was basic with at least the choice of meat and fish everyday, but the desert was always the same- why did they not use a little imagination??

When you come to this hotel, do not expect too much for the entertainment to be good... There is a mini disco but it lasts for 5-10 minutes and thatsthat for the kids. During the day there are no animation activities, despite there being a board there of all the daytime activities that you can do! A little dissapointing because on the first day my father and brother were both looking forward to a nice go at water polo in the pool!

Friendly waitors and waitresses who work all the time. Oh yes, Ten bel, Alborada is not the place to drown.. the life guard is very big (fat) and it looks as if he has not done any swimming in his life..

The all-inclusive is exellent and a very good value for money

WE enjoyed the holiday- it has personality, and I can ensure you that you will never find a hotel like this anywhere else...

Costa Del Silencio is one of the quieter coastal areas and is ideal if you are looking for a chillout / peaceful holiday resort. There are a mixture of restuarants and bars scattered about including Spanish, Chinese, English and German. There's not too many shops about but it is only a few miles to Los Cristianos and Las Americas where there is a much bigger selection. Both of these resorts are just a short bus journey away and costs a couple of euros in bus fare.

The town of Las Galletas is a couple of kilometers away and has some excellent fish restaurants and a few bars / shops. The beaches are a mix of black sand and shingle with sunbeds available to hire at just 2 euros a day.

This resort is ideal if you like scuba diving / surfing. There is also a range of boat trips available from the marina.

Overall, we enjoyed our holiday and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good chill out location.

There is no doubt that the complex needs a lick of paint but the staff are friendly, the pool and the view great. It is peaceful and relaxing. We had a lovely week there. The rooms are spacious but again need a little tlc.

Ten Bel Alborada was brilliant, nothing bad about it.
