Holidays to Costa del Silencio

J B

For a budget hotel this place is fine. The food is mostly edible (although I was served raw chicken one night) but there is not much variety and the food is not replensihed that often meaning there is often items unavailable for a long time. There is a snack bar available throughout the day but it seems like too much trouble to ask the staff to cook something so we didn't eat from the snack bar. The rooms are basic but clean and the cleaners come round daily. They change towels and bedding twice per week but if you want them changing more frequently you have to pay per item. There is no free WiFi and you have to pay extra if you want it. I did not have very good internet signal all around the hotel. The room does not have air con, only a fan, which was fine for us as it was out of season but I definitely would not stop here during the summer season. There is a good size pool which is clean. However the sun loungers are not great. The drinks are very basic and all inclusive finishes at 10:30pm which is quite early. The complex has a nice village feel to it, and like others has said it has lots of potential but requires renovation. The entertainment is very basic but one night there was a live singer who was really good. There was only day time entertainment on the Saturday. There are excellent transport links to bigger areas such as Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje, the bus takes between 30-45 mins and is really cheap. The hotel does not offer late checkout, and despite us arriving late on our first day and missing a day's meals, we were told that the all inclusive would end after we check out in the morning so have missed outon a days worth of meals. Overall for a budget holiday I can't complain because you get what you pay for but I wouldn't stay here again.

Ignore the rest of the reviews, staff are welcoming and value you. Treat them nicely they deserve it. Food is excellent and San Miguel is the home brew. Beds are comfortable and rooms have a fan.

staff is unfriendly. The rooms are unreasonable, you have ants, mold and dirt in the kitchen, not to mention water damage. For the WiFi you have to pay 20 per access. The remote control for the television costs 20€. You also have to pay money to weigh your suitcase. If you check in after lunch you will still get lunch on the day of departure. If you lose your bracelet it costs €150 per person. Drinking glasses are dirty and not washed. You always eat it cold.

This is a very low-budget resort. I don’t like the location and amenities as well. Nothing was renovated or maintained over the years. Costa del Silencio is like a town from the mid-’80s. Don’t go there if you prefer more vibrant life and something in better shape. Good for low-budget vacations.

Sceptical after reading the reviews, but it is what it is, it's a budget all inclusive hotel, so people writing reviews because it wasn't 5 star quality, for minimal money... We couldn't fault the place, yes rooms are a bit dated, but again, you get what you pay for. The room was large, bedroom, balcony, separate lounge area with sofa, kitchenette with a fridge/freezer that was ideal for keeping cold drinks, and separate bathroom. It did what we expected of it for the price we paid. Food, standard all inclusive mass cooked, designed to feed a few hundred in a short space of time. Again, people expecting Michelin star quality food, for minimal money should look elsewhere. It was edible, it tasted ok, we never went and found there was anything we didn't like. Just your standard all inclusive buffet food. It did for us what we expected at the price. The staff were brilliant, all friendly, the bar staff were great, the animacion we didn't really get involved as we were out, but from what we saw, they were doing a great job of getting people involved and having fun. Location, there isn't much to do around, but the staff kindly pointed us to the bus stop around the corner, €1.50 for a half hour ride into Los christianos with its nice sandy beach. And they're regular. Overall we cannot fault this place, the price we paid, we got exactly what we expected, so there is no complaints at all. We would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are spacious, you have a nice apartment with kitchen and everything. However though, there were couple of reasons why I do not recomende it, nor will be back. Firstly, in 10 days, the apartment was cleaned only once and when we asked for a towels (on a day other than the cleaning one), we were charged. Also, we look forward for the pool area but, we were let disappointed because, certain parts are 'under construction', thus not in use (such as the bar, restaurant, entrances to the pool...). Last but not least, they seriously over charged us for the late check out. Overall, the Las Galletas is very nice neighborhood with very cheap bars and restaurants so, for sure will be back there... Just not in Ona Alborada...

A solid 4.5 star place. Very spacious rooms and quiet, the place was very clean and crisp. The enormous saltwater pool was amazing and the view of the sunset over the cliff was pretty as well. Cleaning service is only if you stay more than 7 days but if you’re not making a huge mess I don’t see why you would need daily cleaning so that was fine for me. Parking is close right across the hotel and plentiful as well. Good location for nearby activities too. I saw a hoopoe bird that was my target species so this place has a higher review in my heart. The only bad thing was the weird smell in front of the hotel but that was fairly irrelevant. All the other bad reviews are probably from people who didn’t research the area first. The place is indeed under construction but it was fairly ignorable and so it didn’t bother us. In a few years this place might be really popular.

Every morning at 5 am, workers (I think out of envy of tourists) roll a cart that rattles throughout the entire hotel. Apparently it is vitally important at this time and the noisier the better. And then at 8 am the cleaners gather in their assigned room and They have breakfast, sharing everything in their life, the sound of their cackling and noise spreads throughout the entire territory. In short, if you are not a fan of waking up early, then the place is not calm.

Very good value for money. The hotel service people are really friendly and answer all your questions. The aparthotel is well furnished and clean. the swimming pool with sea view is a + Ps : only one négative point it was hot in the apartment

Don't be fooled by the photos! Outside looks like a 1970s car park. The pool area and bottom of the pool is a cesspit, couldn't have been cleaned for weeks ! Dirty sunbeds, towels (you pay for) are worn out and one had a rip in. We are hoping the nappy has been recovered from the bottom of the pool! Paint peeling off walls, rusty fence, rubbish all around outside. The show pools along the path to the main pool that look fantastic in the photos, have no water in them and look terrible! The location is great if you like going on a litter pick and you like the smell of decaying physical matter. A stay in a NCP car park in Birmingham would have more class. We tried to complain but unless they had Nick Knowles on standby with 200 keen DIY enthusiasts working 24/7 and a fleet of Dysons at the ready wasn't going to be sorted. Thank the lord himself for the WiFi was a dream, managed to move hotels in a few clicks. A swift retreat and a £30 euro taxi and we returned to the land of living away from the apocalyptic Hotel. On the plus side we are all upto date with tetanus injections, no permanent harm done.
