Whala!Tenerife - Formerly Marola Portosin

Muy lindo hotel

Pasamos diez días fantásticos en este hotel. Todo el personal era amable y servicial, la comida que servían en el bar era de gran calidad y siempre había muchas tumbonas alrededor de la piscina sin importar la hora del día en que fuéramos. No se andan con rodeos cuando se trata de romper las normas del hotel, especialmente cuando hacen ruido por la noche, lo cual es bueno porque no hay gente que te arruine el sueño. Este hotel tampoco está demasiado lejos de la acción, a 10-15 minutos a pie estarás en la Milla de Oro en Playa de las Américas. ¡Sin duda volveríamos a alojarnos aquí! Gracias

Four of us stayed for 2 weeks and we had an amazing stay. We had an end, top floor apartment with a very large balcony overlooking the pool. Location was great for us as we enjoy the walk to the beach, which wasn’t that far; and it’s La Vista beach which is the best beach ever! Added bonus was being able to dine at our favourite restaurant ’Chouky’s’, oh my days their food is amazing and staff uber friendly - true gem. So the alcohol fuelled stagger home after mega food indulgence wasn’t onerous at all. The hotel was great, Sun loungers, pool side and water cleaned every day. Tip - make sure the lounger is dry before parking your bum; no one likes a soggy bottom! Pool bar was the best we’ve experienced. Staff sooo friendly and the food absolutely amazing, well worth the money. My daughter regularly ordered a burger which was huge, good quality meat and stacked full with extras. I was privileged to be offered a bite (one time only I must add) and oh my god it was a taste sensation - heaven in a bun. €1 deposit on drink cups, but you get your euro back when you return them. People did queue for sun beds but it wasn’t necessary, but always fun to watch. There were plenty of beds and never be afraid to move them about so your group are together. Our apartment was a one bedroom. It was roomy and light with all the amenities for self catering, although no freezer compartment so couldn’t store ice which meant we struggled with space in the fridge because we had to keep our bottled water in there as well as food. But we managed. Whatever you do, do not rely on the hairdryer in the bathroom. It’s archaic, like 1970s, and only provides a warm waft of air. Tip - take your own hairdryer. Plenty of plug sockets but always wise to pack an extension lead to accommodate charging of mobile phones, vapes, headphones etc. we definitely needed the extra plugs. The only downside we had was the sofa bed as my two teenagers found it hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. They struggled more and more the longer we were there. Obviously younger kids would be fine, but the older they get, not so much. But we didn’t have a choice of a two bedroom when we booked, so not much we could do. So, great hotel, great apartments, great location and great staff - massive shout out to the pool bar, we loved you guys! One last thing. The use of **** throughout the resort was rife. Everywhere. It’s was overpowering some nights and wouldn’t be surprised if we were high from inhaling the fumes whilst chilling on the balcony.

Lovely quiet complex, very clean, all staff friendly and welcoming. Bar staff go above and beyond, we are on our 3rd full day and staff already know our names. Room 314 lovely views and spacious balcony on the top floor ... would highly recommend. Thank you whala

Great place to stay Comfy beds , friendly reception/cleaning staff Room cleaned everyday & comfy beds! There’s also a really nice Chinese restaurant just a short walk down the road. We’re already looking to book for next year again, can’t wait.

Met my husband in this hotel 30 years ago so when we booked our return trip we weren’t sure what to expect but we had a great holiday. Yes the rooms are basic and could do with being updated but it never bothered us as they had everything we needed, they were clean and the beds were so comfortable. The cleaners came in every day we were there. The whole hotel always had a lovely smell. We loved the pool and pool bar area and you could see they put a lot of care into the upkeep and maintenance. I don’t usually spend much time in the water as it’s always too cold for me but the bottom pool was lovely and the perfect temperature for cooling off, There were plenty of sun loungers which were not opened until 10am. We got beds no problem but could imagine they go quick in peak season time. The pool bar served a nice selection of food and the staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Thomas and Lucy…..amazing customer service! We will definitely return again for another winter break.
