Basic room amenities are unavailable. We went in january, which is one of their milder months and there was no heater whatsoever in our room. What made matters much worse is that there is no hot water in the room either. There is a small geyser which barely lasts one quick shower. There was 3 of us in a big room and even after following their wait times for hot water, we all regualrly ended up in cold showers. There is no wifi included in rooms; there are 2 lockers available in the room but you have to pay additonally to use them. Simply overall it was an inconvenient stay, which i would not recommend. There is free safe street parking available included though, which is good. And location is good for beaches.

We stayed overnight on a last minute booking after a flight was cancelled. The studios were relatively "no frills" but clean and comfortable and a reasonable size. There was a nice balcony with table and chairs overlooking the pool. Linen, towels, kettle, crockery, toaster were provided but no toiletries other than soap. There was a microwave and hob, with a few pans etc. There's a small fridge. The pool area looked quite nice although we didn't use it. Although the property was full it was quiet (Sunday night between Xmas and New Year). The staff were very helpul - they booked a taxi for us to get back to the airport in the morning and responded very quickly by email when I contacted them subsequently to ask for the invoice in soft copy. It was perfect for what we needed for an overnight stay arranged at the last minute.

*Cons: 1. No free internet in the room. You have to pay for internet per day and per device, and the prices vary. 2. Not enough hot water. The hotel booklet says the hot water boiler is 40 liters. It is not even enough for one person to take a shower. I had no hot water while washing my hair. You cannot imagine how cold it was, especially since there was a winter wind storm that day. By the way, the water is yellow in color. * Pros: 1. Good location. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel, which can take you to most major tourist attractions, although buses may come only every 20–30 minutes, or sometimes even every hour. 2. Fully equipped apartment with a fridge, stove, knives, forks, plates, etc. * Neutral stance: 1. No air conditioning, only a ceiling fan. The weather changed quite fast, one day crazy hot (we were melting), one day with a wind storm (quite cold). 2.Room and equipment overall are quite clean but there is someone white hair everywhere.

Nice hotel with lovely staff

Stayed in Whala for our last night in Tenerife. Hotel offers value for money and has nice pool/bar area. Reception manager was extremely friendly and although we arrived 10:30 am he could offer us our room immediately. Then helped us out the next day with luggage. The rooms are a bit old so guess rennovation is needed. It was extremely warm during the night but we managed with fans in the ceiling, AC would have been preferred. But all in all we had a good stay.

For what we paid the hotel is outstanding, the Guy on reception is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area,, he can’t do enough for you. The hotel is really relaxed about bringing your own drink etc to the pool. The pool bar is superb and very reasonable cost wise. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re on a budget, very clean and the water in the swimming pool is immensely clean and warm in the bottom pool! Those wanting to cool off chose the top pool. We will definitely come back every year as this part of Tenerife is fantastic… thank you for a lovely stay
