Hotel Playa Sur Tenerife

“A value for money hotel in a good location”

Despite mixed reviews on trip advisor. We stayed in the superior double rooms that had recently been renovated. The rooms were clean and the decor was neutral. The staff were helpful and the breakfast decent. The location is great: close to the airport but not so close that you can hear the planes. The beach is next to the hotel and some rooms have a balcony with a sea view. There's some nice restaurants around.

“Lovely little hotel with great staff”

Lovely little hotel at the far end of town. The refurbished rooms are lovely although no enough storage (no drawers). The old rooms are far too small unless you’re only staying for a couple of nights. Lovely pool area and the most comfortable sun loungers we have ever laid on. Great pool. The sta... more

The staff are lovely, very helpful and accommodating. I would stay again

Excellent small hotel in beachside location in quiet resort in south tenerife. The large sunbeds are exceptional the unheated pool was fine once you got in. The balcony view from my room right at the beach end of the hotel was good although im glad it wasnt at the back end further away. Also the view of the nature reserve and beach from the opposite side of the hotel would have been better for sunsets. I was only b and b but the hotels public restaurant served good food from a mostly spanish menu. I had the thai chicken curry which was superb for 10€. Room clean, a bit dated, unfair charge for the safe, no uk TV channels, bed sheets very uncomfortable and need improving as they just got tangled up and I had to remake several times in the night. Shower dated. As in most spanish hotels the maids were exceptional. I saw one in the corridor cleaning a tv remote with an old toothbrush and as I know remotes can be the filthiest things so top marks for that. Breakfast was ok, not the best selection but adequate. The coffee machines were useless though, always big queues due to very slow operation. I would have liked the piano room to have been in use.

Great location close to the airport. I had two different rooms on two stays, after arriving at TFS and the night before leaving. One room had a balcony overlooking the boardwalk. The other was overlooking the parking lot and Monta Roja. Noise was not a problem in either. Occasionally, you hear a jet from TFS, but it dies down at night. Rooms are small, as is typical in Europe. Beds were comfortable. No safety rails in shower. One room had no remote for TV, but I did not ask for one. The other had a remote. Many German stations and few English. Breakfast was great except for the line for the coffee machine and the small birds which would fly in and snag your food if you left for a minute. Or the German tourists that would try to snag your clearly saved table while you went to the buffet line. I did not spend time by the pool, but the tourists escaping the cold and wind seemed to enjoy it. A door from the pool area led directly to the El Medano Boardwalk, which had many nice cafes and shops. (See my review of Bliss, where I ate 4 times). A path from the parking lot led directly to the Monta Roja trail, about a 10 minute walk. The restaurant on premises overlooks the beach and the terrace gets quite crowded during the day. The restaurant required reservations, though it never seemed to be full. I had tapas and wine and it was quite affordable and good! Overall, I think this was a great pik cfor staying in El Medano. There were a lot of locals, and it was fun watching the wind and kite surfers!
