Green Park

The hotel was clean and in a good location. The downside from our point of view was that it had a 'tired'feel and was getting near the time for a refurb. We would probably not go again if other accomodation was available.

I have to say that the place is very nice and there lots of things anyone could do, evrything is relatively close and the employees are very friendly. there is a small problem about the cleaning service and that didnt buther me much i went there to relax and enjoy with my girlfriend for a couple of days, we had a studio apartment and it was very nice the kitchen was not fully equipated but we survive, there are a couple of bowls and a frying-pan and eanogh dishes for 2 or 3 people. i advise any one who takes this kind of accomodation to take an opener for wine or beer, a good knife. you can buy all of these in there as well if you dont want to carry much with you, prices are very good.
There is also a little bit of noise from time to time bu it is nothing to worry about. It is very close to the south airport of tenerife and you will hear the airplanes very loudly, they almost touch the roof of the building.
Well i cant say more than this... The place is very nice and we had a very good time, we went looking for something new and we got it.
Enjoy !

I have been to Greenpark several times and I always have very good value for money. I thoroughly recommend it.

We have Stayed at Green Park and have recommeneded it to many people, but after the way we were treated this year we don't think we will be recommending it again,
we booked in May asking not to have a pool facing room because of the noise that comes from the Sundowner Pub, so what did they do give us a room in line with it, luckerly it was not as bad as last year when we was unable to get to sleep due to the music.
when we got to our room we had no paper Bathroom tissue in the Bathroom, the sink in the kitchen  had a dripping tap.
and it wasn't until Thursday at 6.15 pm we had our room Cleaned and the beds made and that was only because i went and complained the room had not been cleaned since we arrived on the Sunday, the bin was not emptied until thursday.
the towels were torn and also not changed until i asked for clean ones. there were wires sticking out of a wall where the light should of been,the bed settee had a slate missing from it so you had to watch where you sat.
the sheets were just turned over so we would think they was cleaned, but i knew they were the same ones as one had been mended and when i made the bed myself on Friday.
Don't get me wrong the Area is nice and there are lovely places to eat and great walks to take around the area. it seems there are new staff at Green Park this year and the Standards have Dropped a lot. We still had a great holiday and would go back to that area again but as for staying at Green Park again i think we would have to think twice, but as i said the area around it is lovely and peaceful and there are plenty of great places to eat out .

For those on a tight budget, Green Park offers excellent value for money. My studio apartment was spacious, clean and adequately equipped for self-catering. The beds were of the iron bedstead variety and the mattresses a bit tired, but comfortable enough under the clean sheets, although, in such a humid climate, I would have appreciated the peace of mind of an additional layer between me and the odors and excretions of those who have gone before.
Bathing wise, the bathroom featured a full size bath plus a powerful overhead shower, and the water was hot. During my short stay(4 nights), my apartment was cleaned and the towels changed once.
The complex overall, if pretty dated, is by no means delapitated. The staff are friendly and it offers good basic facilities and services. I noticed a laundry on site, plus a reasonable restaurant (not fast food), a couple of cafes, a couple of bars and a fair size pool. For what I paid, I cannot fault it.

Although the self catering room we had was spacious it was very basic and in dire need of cleaning,the furniture had seen better days and if you like a sqeaky bed,this was the place to be. At no extra cost we had a daily early morning call by dogs barking (between 0700-0715) when reported this to reception no interest was shown. It might appeal due to price but I would rather pay the extra money and go somewhere else.

Firstly when arriving from the airport which is less than ten mins away from the hotel the signage to the reception could have been better, but once you find the reception there is plenty of parking spaces and the reception it's self ia clean and inviting. Moving on to the room on arrival the room seemed to be clean. The beds were quite basic but seemed reasonable for the price (75.00 euros for four nights). whilst out during the day the maid would clean the room and refresh the towells, but the room cleaning itself was far from brilliant. The pool was big compared to some hotels, And the water was clean but there was a lack of sunbeds which was surprising as the hotel was only half full, for those who like to stay entirely by the pool should look at other hotels. The surounding area had plenty of places to eat at prices to suit all taste, but the local beach was suitable for a maximum of fifty people. The popular beaches at Las Americas are only a ten min car ride away, and the area is served by regular local buses and taxis are plentyful. On the more negative side the airport being only 4 km away the planes fly directly over the hotel all day and all night. To sum up for the price paid could not really fault the hotel other than the rooms could be bit cleaner. I would stay again so cuold not be too bad.

Have stayed in Green Park before and it is good value for money however the furnishing and now becoming a little tired.  The staff are courteous and quick.  No real problems.

We originally ended up at Greenpark from an allocation on arrival holiday and loved it so much we are going back for the fifth time in march 2006.  This is not the type of holiday for someone looking for a mad nightlife with loads of nightclubs because there arent any, but there are a few lovely local bars especially Legends Bar.  Everyone is really friendly and the staff are really helpful.  The rooms are airy and clean.  You can get a taxi outside which can take you five minutes away to San Blas, that is a large square with a variety of different restaurants and bars to meet all budgets and tastes. This is an ideal holiday for older couples or younger couples looking to have a nice quiet break away from the rat race.  Would recommend whole heartedly.

The Green Park is kept clean and tidy there are some good places to eat out, the shop on the site is not very cheap but near by you will find cheaper ones . If you love walking or plane spotting this is the place to go and if you play golf then this is ideal.
The only problem is the Landsdownes bar on a Sunday, Tuesday and a Saturday they have a Karaoke night till midnight and the noise is really bad if you have a room poolside, the management of green park have spoken to them.
The planes make less noise then the pub.
We have been to Green Park 3 times and would go again as the views and area are great. As they say a holiday is what you make it.

A friend and I stayed at Green Park Tenerife for 7 nights. I would not recommend this to anyone. The rooms are very basic and grubby. Our room was at the back and had the road running past it and a view of a wall. The noise for the dust carts coming into the resort in the early hours of the morning was awful, you could hear pepole's conversations because the noise just bounced around due to the fact the place is so enclosed. We could not keep the patio doors open because the room was so hot - no Air Con. and no fan. There was a TV but you have to pay €3 per night (not that we would have wanted to stay in the room for more time than we had too). Although the bedding was changed twice during our stay and we had clean towels, the room was not cleaned even once when we were there. We asked if we could change rooms on the second night so we could get some sleep and our name and room number was written in a book in reception. We didn't get a response so on the 3rd day we went to ask for an update. First of all they had trouble finding any record of our complaint and we had to direct them to the book. We were asked if we had only complained the once!!! We therefore complained again, left a mobile number so we didn't have to stay around the hotel and yet we still heard nothing the whole holiday. The food (breakfsat and dinner) was very poor. I would not serve it to guests at my house! The fried breakfast was REALLY greasy, the bacon burned and the eggs disgusting. The hot food in the evening was cold so I avoided all the meat. The salad stuff was not cold enough!!!!! On the last day we had to store our cases because our flight was not until the evening. We were given a key for the "luggage room" and were shocked to discover it was full of rubbish with flies buzzing around, the roof was leaking and there was a huge puddle on the floor. At this point I flipped, went back to reception and told them what I thought and "suggested" it was cleaned immediately and said they had a cheek expecting anyone to leave their clothes in the middle of a rubbish tip. When we went back at the end of the day it had at least been cleaned up a little. Poor excuse for a hotel and needs some major changes to even bring it close to being worth staying at!!!! Hard not to get personal in this review but then I just cannot bear lazy management to allow this sort of thing to take place and have the cheek to charge people good, hard earned cash to stay there.

We travelled as a party of 11 including the kids in July (very hot). The hotel is large split into two blocks and many rooms do not have views overlooking the pools. The rooms themselves are basic but clean with no toaster, grill/oven or aircon and many without kettles. However, the pools were very clean with plenty of sun loungers and space to spread out. The games for the kids seemed to be a free for all most of the time. There is little to do at night except visit the few bars nearby, which seemed to stay open as long as you wanted, provided you stayed inside, which helped you sleep through the noise of the planes at night.

We stayed in the Greenpark for a week after Christmas; we flew out on St Stephen’s day. On first impressions as we drove up the hotel looked quite nice. However this was not the case, the rooms were nothing like the picture on the web site. Firstly we wanted a double bed but we were that they did not do doubles so we made do with the single beds, which were very uncomfortable. All the tiles in the bathroom were falling off the walls. Two of which fell off the wall into the bath when my husband was having a shower, luckily he was not cut. The sliding doors out to the balcony did not lock which was very worrying as we were on the second floor. We reported this to the hotel staff, they were very helpful and polite but nothing was ever done. When we were leaving we were waiting outside the hotel lobby and one of the large metal bollards in front of the hotel door fell over barely missing my foot. We enjoyed our stay in Tenerife as we spent most of our time away from Greenpark; the taxi rank outside made this very convenient. Needless to say if we go back to Tenerife we will never stay in the Greenpark hotel again, this is a 1 key hotel and not 3 keys.

For the price quoted it was good value for money.However, I would not have liked to have stayed any longer than the one night due to the location of the actual apartment- overlooking the next block of accomodation and at the side of the access road.The sound of the dustmen at 05.00 helped to break up the monotony of landing aircraft which reverberated through the room.As a plane spotter(honest) I enjoyed the spectacle of reading off the reggies on the underside of the wing during the late afternoon but not at 03.00.
Perhaps apartments overlooking the pool area or gardens(very nice indeed) would not suffer in the same way.             Loved the area and recommend the coast walk into San Blas to enjoy the many good restaurants.

we have stayed at green park twice and try to stay there when ever we vist Tenerife, the hotel/ apartments are big clean and well kept,the staff are friendly and make you very welcome. there are plenty of places to eat out, like the landsdown opposite there is a very nice chinese about 5 minutes walk away on the strip,the swimming pool is clean and well looked after. ideal place for plane spotters or people that love walking ,the cliff top walks are lovely and the views are great. not far from the golf course, so it's a home from home for everyone from walkers, golfers and plane spotters,buses run regular to over parts of the island, taxi's are always out side the hotel to take you where you want, there's a shop on site ,and plenty of other shops around should you need them.
