Iberostar Bouganville Playa, Tenerife

Advantages: Beautiful Hotel, Close to Las Americas, but still far enough away
Disadvantages: Lack of sunbeds

...But when we found the Iberostar Bouganville Playa, a hotel that my boyfriend had seen in the flesh, at a good price, we couldn't resist. So there and then, we booked it for early June. We landed in Tenerife quite late, around about 1am, so we were quite tired. We had a pleasant transfer to the resort and arrived at the Bouganville at about 3 am.

Advantages: Good in hotel facilities, near beach and local nightclubs.
Disadvantages: On a hill, noise from local clubs until 1am

Advantages: Central, friendly and excellent food
Disadvantages: Slightly (but only slightly) dated!

We stayed here March 2008. (Booked hotel through Thomsons and flight with Ryanair) Fab, friendly hotel. We didn't think it was particularly attractive from outside but once inside it was lovely. Maybe rooms a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Its in a central position without being noisy and loud. Bars and restaurants over the road and its a nice walk into the livelier area. Food was best we've had on a package holiday. The choice and quality ...
...Not much contact with reception etc so can't really comment on them but other staff all seemed ok. For any other dancers out there, the added bonus is that they have ballroom dancing most nights! We're not the type to get up at the break of dawn to get a sunbed but we never had any problems at all! Would love to go again. ... Read review
