El Greco

Absolutely the best hotel we have stayed in Canary Islands. The hotel area was modern and very tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful. I traveled with my 6 and 9 year old girls, and they really liked the heated pool where was pleasant to swim even in the cooler days. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with a magnificent view over the pool area and Puerto Rico Beach. Beds were really nice as well and I slept like a baby. Breakfast included good selection of bread, warm dishes, yogurt, fruit and vegetables, cereals and baked goods. And sparkling wine! We had dinner every night at Il Molino (the italian restaurant downstairs) and liked both the atmosphere and the foods. Hopefully well be able to stay in El Greco again sometime!

The hotel itselfs is very good with everything you would expect in this class. However, one of its restaurants, I rather would describe as low quality kitchen. We were there both on Christmas & New years eve, and became very disappointed. The food, especially on the last evening, was hardly possible to eat, and among all 3 of us the opinion was the same. But when we did remark this, our waitor said 'I will tell the kitchen' whereupon nothing happened, despite we asked twice. The same result in the hotel reception when told them. 'I will tell my boss', the receptionist cordially said. And again, nothing more happened. In addition, during our 2 weeks stay, a one man orchestra "played" close to the reception area, immensely load which spread also into our room so we had to keep the balcon door closed. I don't mind music and not even when it's load, but this music sang or rather screamed constantly out of tune and was very sluggish in his performance. I'm very surprised that El Greco, a hotel which has such a good reputation and also disearves this, destroys for itself with a 3rd class restaurant and amateur musicians.
