Tenerife Royal Gardens

LOVED IT

individual apartment upgrading was going on but roberto DID keep us informed of what and when

not invasive

but its a great base with all the beaches to choose from

VERY CLEAN

pool marvellously kept

great local eateries the BEST is the Litoral and macks bar for breakfast

This is the most relaxing holiday ive ever been on. I would defantly recomend this to a friend and would defanatly love to come again.

Tenerife Royal Gardens ROCKS =] x

This was our first visit to the Tenerife Royal Gardens and having read some poor reviews prior to departure we were very pleasantly surprised. You really could not wish for a better location; virtually on the beach with plently of restaurants, shops and bars on the doorstep. Yes our room was one of the older ones yet to be refurbished but it had everything we needed and the cleaner was superb! One member of the reception staff was a bit on the surly side but all the others were very friendly and helpful (and patient when we lost a safe key!) The pool and surrounding sunbathing area was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of - no overcrowding even in August; it was sufficiently large even to have my children out of earshot whilst relaxing in the sun. Finally the poolside bar serves good food at reasonable prices and the staff are really friendly too. If we had been allocated a refurbished room with full airconditioning and some evening entertainment (especially for young children) this would definitely be verging on a 5 star resort. But even in an old room albeit clean no one could possibly have justifiable reason to complain. A really great time and would definitely recommend.

We have been coming to the TRG for the last 18 years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here - fabulous location - best in Tenerife!

We own timeshare a tTenerife Royal Gardens and come for 5 weeks every year..........BUT NOT FOR MUCH LONGER AS THE RESORT IS BEING SOLD AND WE SHALL LOOSE OUR TIMESHARE....AS WILL ALL THE OTHER OWNERS

The pool bar has recently re-opened, as at August 2007, and is run by experienced staff and were re-decorating it to include a tv room. The apartments are beginning to be refurbished through the resort but due to the installation of new water pipes, this has been delayed.

The pool area continues to be maintained well and the maid service provided is always excellent with the staff there being in residence over a long period.

The check in has improved but as change over day is mainly Fridays, long queues do form at the reception at 10am when everyone has to leave their apartments.

If they sped up their renovation program this would improve the resort as apartments not re-decorated are looking extremely tired, although liveable.

Now that the time share touts have almost disappeared the place is much better. Beware of the "you have won the scratch card" brigade, they can erode your holiday away if you are not careful. Overall we like the place, my son who is now 18 loves to go. My wife likes to go because the apartment has been in the family for some 20 years or so and yes she has been every year, including this year, we leave tomorrow morning. If renting an appartment be careful not to get one of the studio appartments on the front, they are not secure and lots of people around at all times. ALSO Rent a safe they are cheap but well worth it in the long run.

I like the fact that I know exactly which is my apartment when I arrive and just tend to use the week to recharge our batteries as it is not the kind of holiday for learning the culture! Location is great especially now all the new shops have been built opposite Compostela Beach, plenty of good restaurants for all tastes and pockets..

Very disappointed! Exchanged our 5* timeshare in Lake District with Interval International for a resort that barely scrapes 2*. The resort is OK for a home from home feel, if you like tattooists touting for business against an all-pervading smell of sewage. We will not be returning Tenerife Royal Gardens or recommending it to anyone.

We have been going for 4 years now, thought about selling but in the end you will not find a cleaner, more perfect location in Tenerife. In the end, the room is for washing and sleeping in. If you can't find something to do that suits all tastes, in this area, you should not be going. See you next year.
