Thank you very much indeed and just to confirm we had a most wonderful holiday and would highly recommend the Dunas Paraiso Hotel in Tenerife. It was top class and what excellent value for money. The food at every single meal was just amazing (even if the hot food could be a little warmer at times) and what a selection to choose from - 2-3 different fish dishes - one fish variety always cooked fresh in front of you on a griddle, several hot and cold meats, wonderful salads with a great selection of healthy options, lovely desserts. All in all we couldnt fault anything really - the place was spotlessly clean, staff friendly and helpful, but I suppose the fact that we had such lovely weather with blue skies every day while there was a major storm at home did help! The only minor complaints we had was the evening entertainment in the hotel was very boring - just a guy playing music - totally dull and lack lustre!! and the courtesy bus service was very poor and only operated in the mornings only into Playa de las Americas and back from there in the afternoons - this could definitely be improved - taxi costs around 13 euro one way and EUR30 from airport to hotel.
Thank you very much again and we're very glad we found your site and will definitely use you again. Especially, a major thank you to Emma who was more than helpful with all my queries before and during booking - really appreciated it and hope the company values you as an employee Emma!- it's great to be able to actually talk to someone so helpful when enquiring about a holiday spot rather than just doing everything on line!

A great hotel,particularly for older people (away from the crowds associated with Las Amaricas).
We were allocated a suite in Block A, overlooking the sea,and of exceptional size and quality (two toilets plus separate shower),just fabulous.
Food(all inclusive) was very good with Chinese and Italian alternating in a separate restaurant of an evening (buffet style).
Pool, two in number,spotless with lower situated facility more suited to families--a bit noisy. Top pool well away from this noise.
Courtesy bus to Las Americas , on the hour beween 10am and 12 noon.
Counting the days to our return.

Hotel is Fab! Check-in was Quick & Easy. The rooms have plenty of space & a modern look. The food was good too but 2 weeks here might become repetitive.

There is always something for you to do as the animation team are excellent working through the day & evening. They take care of the kids and the adults too!

Ignore any bad comments. The Hotel is well worth a visit.
We went out for the Feb 08 Half term and am wiating for flights to book for next feb again!

the swiming pool was very big and clean
the kids club was ok.
the staff a the reception and waiters in the restaurant were very rude and short.
the food was just ok kids menu very poor
and after 3 days we ate out for dinner ,we had a hire car.
would i go back (no) because
1.there was no beach
2.miles away from every thing
3.we had seven cockroachs in our room over or stay.
but over all the hotel is nice
it was just not for us.

WE stayed here in late Jan and beginning of Feb. My wife & I had a wonderful time . I work in the hotel trade so it was a busmans holiday for me but it was fist class all the way.

The hotel is very clean & spacious. The room had a mountain view so in the morning throwing back the curtains and being greeted by the sun (always shining) and Mt Teide was something to wake you up in the morning. Our room was situated just above the main front door where the buses, cars, taxis arrived to pick up arriving & departing guests - and you know what - we never heard any excesive noise.

I must ask those who criticize the food ie it wasnt Kellogs or it wasnt British pork & beef sausages - if you want British food on your holiday stay in Britain. The food was good with a wide selection for all tastes. There was always freshly cooked foor on the griddle for lunch & dinner with a wide array of salads and breads. For those that moan about the place being busy at the beginning of service and having to queue all I can say is that this will always be the case where you have an hotel which is All Inc. Thats the reason we never went down before 8.30pm at night. We used the Italian and Chinese restaurants and found them to be quiet but with good food.

The Pool Bar was always busy but you could watch and see when the queues were dwindling then go to the bar. The selection of drinks was the standard but I must admit as a Scotsman I say some wonderfully named brands of whisky that I hadnt heard of. I must admit the qualkity of the draught wine was poor and the red wine chilled but that was the only thing I have to say poor about the beverage side. It was good to see No Smoking in the restaurants too.

On the entertainment side of things I have to say that Andreas and her team put on good stuff. Janny was also a great guy and they helped all who participated in sporting events, whether it was 5 a side, darts, petanque, shooting etc, to enjoy the fun. We had great times in the pool with the water polo and water volleyball but I must say that Andreas's refereeing was as bizarre as we see weekly on telly. I have to say that I was sent to the sin bin myself !!! The evening entertainment was all good clean fun and nothing that would scare anyone apart from the varied selections of snakes that one of the entertainers kept puling out of his box.

On the accommodation side of things we had no complaints. The rooms were kept clean and the housemaids were very good. The bedlinen was changed 3 times during our stay so I cant compain about that.

There are shops, British pubs etc about half a mile from the hotel so there is something to do.

Overall we had a great time as our intention was do do nothing and thats what we did. We have already recommended the hotel to others and will continue to do so.
