Well what can I say.  My wife and I LOVE this hotel we have been 3 times in the last 16 months (last Jan 2007) and have booked again for April 2007.  We go on the ALL INCLUSIVE option as it is value for money.  We always request a room overlooking the Pool with large balcony and we have not been let down yet.  Yes the rooms are not up to Hilton standard but they are clean and tidy.  Maid clean every day.  Food is excellent.  Staff are SUPERB.  Location SUPERB. The whole atmosphere is second to none.  Yes in winter age group is old but april - oct Young family upto 50.  No larger louts even though AI.  RECOMMENDED

Good 4 star hotel, food and entertainment very good. Age profile quite old (no fault of the hotel) which has its advantages,very quiet at night, sunbed availability good. All things considered we had a pleasant stay here but the Bouganville across the road would just shade it.

This hotel was meant to be refurbished in 2005.
The rooms are very basic and the refurbishment was to a very basic standard if done at all (it needs doing again). The food was fantastic and the hotel, foyer and pool very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The bar drinks are rediculously expensive considering the entertainment is diabolical every night and done on the cheap.
The animacion team try hard and I believe they think they are good, but they are that bad at dancing they are embarassing (Hi-di-hi never had a look in).
The hotel is excellently positioned and the entertainment over the road is first class.
This hotel should be downgraded to a poor 3 star compared with similar priced hotels around it (and I have been in a few) but a good holiday was had as it was a good base.
Beware of the tenerife pest who must teach the newcomers the trade outside the hotel...timeshare touts.... this is a school playground for them.

Visited first 2 weeks in October. Still very hot.
Rooms clean and tidy, fresh towels/linen always available. The pool is large with plenty of sunbeds available.
Reception very helpful, and a champagne reception on arrival.
Approx 3 minutes to walk to the marina, and 5 minutes to the nearest beach.
Plenty of bars nearby which stay open until 2am, and Veronicas is a 5 euro trip away by cab (rank right outside the hotel)if you want to party until sun up.
Hotel food is adequate: It's what you expect when you go somewhere where they feed so many people in such a short space of time, but I ate out for almost every meal, as the quality is far superioir, and not a lot of money either.
About equivalent to a large 3* in the uk, but I would go back... There were worse judging from comments of people I spoke to.

we normally have a weekend away from our own home in tenerife every month i must admit this was the BEST service we have received and believe me when i say we have even ben a the top notch hotels!!! the food was very good and the choice good. the staff were very well trained and made time for all customers no matter how busy they were. the rooms were light and airy and the show was excellent. as i work for a tour opertaor here in tenerife i will recommend this hotel to our resident clients as well as holiday makers.

Well...solo travelling is always hit and miss and this stay was no different.  This hotel is large and efficient...but mainly geared to families and as such, I felt pretty overwhelmed.    Apart from an 80 or so year old gent tottering about, I was the only person alone (and certainly the only young one.)  The deck chairs are rammed in around the pool so it feels a bit like battery farming.  No chance to find a quiet corner to hide in.  Having said that, its clean, efficient, and great value for children with hyperactive entertainers on tap for them...  And the hotel did move me from about the worst room (overlooking a highway) to about the best (sea and pool views) when I asked...  But it's big.  Probably too big to feel at home in if you're travelling alone and without the prerequisite 2.5 kids.  But if you are, you'll probably love it.

Very nice hotel,very clean, staff very friendly and helpful,food excellent. We were all inclusive which was great.Good location opposite the shopping centre with a taxi rank outside.
Should always request a room overlooking the pool as the road is a little busy and noisy sometimes.

One complaint, two lovely swimming pools which were both 1.5 mtrs deep all over, if you are vertically challenged or cannot swim it is a no go area which is a shame. Also very difficult to join in activities like water aerobics and water volly ball.  All in all a great place to stay

The staff werefriendly and helpful.  The food excellant.  The entertainment very good.  Good kids club. Spotlessly clean. Very good location opposite St Eugenes shopping centre.  We would definitely stop there again.

Overall I was disappointed in this hotel, mainly due to the food.  I would pay more money & choose a hotel in real Costa Adeje area if returning to Tenerife.  I've rated 4 because hotel was relatively cheap, but 3.5 is more accurate, 3 is unfair.  Although not a bad hotel, there are better 4* hotels.

Resort: Disappointed - far too many bar touts & dancing bars lower the overall tone, albeit around the hotel itself is OK.

Weather: Oct 26th to Nov 2nd - perfect temperature (not too hot) during day & perfect at night (short-sleeves only)

Location: Iberostar is not situated in Adeje, it is in the far left of Americas, just above & right of Porto Colon.  However, the location is quite handy for shops (immediately across from hotel).  There are a few decent pubs within 5 mins walk (recommend Temple Irish Bar with live 2-man band).

Food: Although the food was not bad, it was not as good as other 4* hotels I have stayed at. The menu was predictable: grill bar comprised fish (always very boney) and a meat (mostly chicken, turkey or pork), plus pasta with the the same sauces almost every night. For example there were no "themed" nights (e.g. Canarian, Spanish, Italian, Chinese).  We stayed half-board, although it is possible to upgrade to AI for 20 euros per head per day.

Pool Area: There were plenty of loungers & umbrellas. My friend & I never "booked" loungers, just simply turned up late morning/ mid day & always found 2 loungers.  There are 3 pools (one main pool, one 'activity' pool used for water polo etc & a toddler's pool) - the water depth in both main pools is about 4 feet & not marked, which may be of concern some some parents whose children are learning to swim (toddler pool too shallow). Pool area was kept clean.

Entertainment: We did not sample the hotel entertainment, but it looked good for children (usual shows etc).

Rooms: Carpets in corriders were stained which gave a bad impression - why not tiles?  Room itself was clean, with good maid service (no problem getting room cleaned late if wanting a lie-in) and air-conditioned.  Request a room over-looking pool and be aware that there are 9 floors (we stayed in floor 2 which was ideal).  Fridge can be hired for week (17 euros which included fully stocked with soft-drinks ; 20 or 26 euros for mix of alco-pops etc).

This hotel is superbly situated, there is a taxi rank outside hotel and bus stops further down road. The hotel offers comfortable rooms and the meals are excellent - staff very helpful.
Although away from main centre it is within walking distance approx 15mins away. We enjoyed it so much last year that we have booked again for this year.
