Please bear in mind that Holidays in Tenerife are usually aimed at the 18-30 age group. The Parque de La Paz hotel is located in Playa de las Americas on the south of the Island. It is situated nearby a supermarket and a mere 400m from the wonderful beaches. Tenerife's reputation certainly goes before it and I found many of my ideas surrounding the island were wrong. It is true that Tenerife accomodates a large number of english tourists, however, i felt that part of the culture of the island remained in tact and the standards were certainly not low. As for the hotel i thought it was excellent value for money. As a £200 package holiday I felt the rooms were a great standard. The rooms were a good size with a lovely balcony and all the appliances you need. The rooms are cleaned daily by a cycle of friendly maids. Despite having a large number of young people i felt that due to the presence of security the hotel was a family friendly place. During my 7 day stay I didn't witness any unruly behaviour of any kind and the noise levels were reasonably maintained. The pool was not over crowded and there was a life guard on duty at all times. I did not eat at the hotel but i understand there was a bar and restaurant buy the pool serving a whole manner of food and drink. The receptionist was very helpful with any questions we had, whether it be recommending restaurants of cashing travellers cheques. To summarise i think the hotel was excellent value for money and great quality when compared to other 3* hotels. To say it was situated in the busiest part of the island it was well managed and upheld a pleasant environment.
