Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Whala! Tenerife offers a great value, with guests frequently mentioning the clean and spacious rooms and the well-maintained pool area. The hotel is conveniently located near shops and restaurants, with the beach a pleasant walk away; also excursions can be booked at a nearby attraction. While the kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, toaster and hob is appreciated, some guests have noted noise from the road. many find the complex quiet, comfortable, and well-situated for exploring Los Cristianos and Las Americas.

Excellent Value Stay

I found many sun loungers were available by pool. The staff was lovely. Food and drinks from the pool bar was delicious and very convenient. I think the location were amazing for a break. The room view, facing south, allowed sun on balcony all day. Maids provided excellent and frequent cleaning service. Reception helped me with info.
I found the lack of air conditioning difficult. Ceiling fans didn't cool the room sufficiently. I wouldn't book during summer due this issue.
