Iberostar Torviscas Playa

once i read the reviews on this hotel i decided to try it out. we got there at 10/11pm and we were given a room on the 2nd floor and it was a really bad room even though the room was nice , we had the room where all the delivery vans went. you have to be up before 8:30am to get the ebst beds. luckily we got a very good spot the full time we stayed (2 weeks). the breakfast in the hotel was nice same really for breakfast fry ups , toast , all sorts. for dinner the menu changed i did begin to get sick of the food , but all nice. the waiters and reception were all very nice. also the pool area is nice. the night entitaiment was good , it was it only went on till 10:30pm and then basically everyone went to bed. The beach isnit a far walk and beware of hair braiders , they persade you and also luckie luckie men they follow you everywhere. also please dontuse the computers in hotel as i did once and it is 4 euro's for half and hour , and later in the 2 weeks i found another internerrt cafe , 2 euros for 1 hour that is called planet fun. i recomend the hotel for everyone overall it was amazing.

We have just returned from our 3rd visit to this hotel and once again were not dissapointed. We were given a room on the 5th floor with amazing views over Fanube beach and the island of Gomera. The food was excellent, even better than last time, we usually eat out quite a lot but this time only ate out 4 times. We would recommend a restaurant called Crawfords recently opened at Puerto Colon, only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The road works that plagued Torviscas last year are all finished and the area looks much better. We cant really comment on hotel entertainment as we went out every evening but I would say it is geared to the more elderly traveller from what we saw, lots of ballroom dancing in the lounge area to a man playing an organ, although other groups and a disco were advertised we never saw any sign of them, but they may have been in another area of the hotel. There is very convenient access to the beach via stairs from the pool area, so you you can be on the beach in 2 or 3 minutes. My only dissapointment with this hotel is the rooms, although quite spacious and kept very clean they really could do with a makeover, and there is a lack of space for clothes although the wardrobe is not a bad size there are no drawers for undies etc. but don't let that put you off we have been 3 times knowing what it is like and because of the convenient location, good food and general ambience of the place would highly recommend it to anyone, bearing in mind there are quite a lot of stairs and slopes in the area.

nice hotel no problems ,only bad thing was road works outside hotel and new  storm drains being laid throughout Adeje which made the area unsightly and dusty

We stayed in this hotel for 10 nights in March. The location was excellent all the bars and restaurants were within easy reach and only a few steps from the beach. We always find the hotel rooms a bit of a dissapointment but they were OK apart from the tiny wardrobe which had only enough room for 1 persons clothes. Food was excellent, a great choice at every meal, although we did go out to restaurants for 5 of the 10 nights. Cant comment on the entertainment as we went out every night but didnt like the look of the area on lower ground floor where it was held. Nice pool but got a bit cramped and hard to find beds after about 11am, so most days we went to the beach, weather was fantastic wall to wall sunshine, would use the hotel again because of the very convenient location

what a great hotel in an ideal location.  when we arrived we were given a refreshing drink and a choice of three rooms and selected the forth floor facing the road and a great view of the sea.  the rooms are spacious and very clean with a large balcony and you don't need any shower gel as this is supplied in a tub attached to the wall which was great as ours never lasts all week.  the restaurant is large and the food is fantastic but we found the food area very cramped with people bumping into each other, a bit scary when you have a plate full of food, but other than that no complaints.  the staff all round are very friendly and will help whenever they can, they seemed to love the small children. we would definately return to this hotel again.

Had booked this hotel on the basis of reviews that I had read and also the information from Alpharooms. I have been holidaying in Tenerife and usually stop in 4 star accomodation in and around Las Americas but found that this hotel was way lacking, the food was at best average, there was nothing of interest to do for a young teenager (internet was out of order)the rooms whilst clean were only average. Entertainment was great if you happen to be in your late 60's and like to waltz the night away. Overall my view is that it may have a 4star badge but maybe you should expect a 3star service based on my stay late feb 2006

We have been to Costa Adeje before and know the locality very well, and were therefore aware of the location and position of this hotel.  It is extremely central to the beach, all public amenities and local entertainment, including its own nightly cabarets, and in a beautiful position to benefit from both the mountain range and seaviews.  The hotel maintenance was of a high standard in all public areas and our room was kept spotlessly clean throughout.The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful and a high percentage of the staff spoke English. The food was excellent, something for everyone! We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.
