Fairways Club

I always love going back to Fairways. The staff are all so pleasant and go out of their way to make our holiday enjoyable. Particulary loved the restaurant where the chef came out to chat and check that evrything was cooked to our liking. The new pool bar is really good as well. Can't wait till next time1

Nothing said about the staff they did a brilliant job. The apartment was very small and I thought I was going back to 1970 We had no privacy outside. Just the bare necessities available. No shower gels and even the towels ,old ripped and had holes

This was our second visit to Fairways Club. We went for 21 days, mid September to early October. This late in the year temperatures still rise to 35°C with a couple of short showers of rain. On the first visit we stayed in a standard two bedroom ground floor apartment with the bedrooms on a second floor and which at that time (2019) did not have air conditioning. That however may have changed. This time we were in a ground floor two bedroom elite apartment with the bedrooms also on the ground floor. It had a good quality air conditioning unit in the living area and the master double bedded bedroom but the second twin bedded bedroom only had a ceiling fan and no air conditioning. To get some air flow we had to sleep with the window open which let in various bugs and air at the outside temperature. It was really quite warm and muggy to sleep in. We are all disabled in one way or another and it has to be said that Fairways Club is not really set up for disabled visitors, a fact that they admit to. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find them act quickly on some issues which included supplying second mattresses to raise the low beds to enable us to get out of them. With our severely arthritic knees, rising from a low bed is difficult and painful. Fairways Club staff moved mountains to assist in solving this problem. There are also no porterage facilities onsite and you have to drag your luggage to your apartment. However, we arrived late evening after reception had closed and the night security guard assisted us with our luggage which was not part of his job. Thank you sir. Food and drink. There is a pool bar, las Islas, open until 5.30 pm which serves reasonably priced drinks, English breakfasts and beef/hamburgers until 12.00 pm and other tapas style snacks.This is run by British expats Peter and his wife India, a lovely friendly couple who also run the evening opening La Mesa onsite restaurant serving good quality food at a reasonable price. Main course and drinks cost approximately €55 for three people. My favourites were the excellent fish and chips and the biggest bowl of Mussels in a delicious sauce that you ever did see ! The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Carhire. There is an on-site car hire business offering medium size family cars. The fleet is up to around 5 years old. We did not intend to rent a car initially but to be honest you need one here as shops and restaurants are a longish walk. We started with a medium size Chevrolet 5 seater but the aircon wasn’t working so we had to change to a Daewoo Stepway. The company include your transfer to Tenerife South airport for your homeward departure. You have to pay an extra €150 for zero excess insurance. If I was to go to Tenerife again I would rent a car from the airport using the company Autoreisen. They have mostly 1-2 year old cars, rental fee is cheaper than Hertz and Avis and the rental feeincludes a zero excess insurance. There is no extra charge for airport rental if

Our first visit to Fairways Club for a weeks stay. On arrival our allocated ground floor apartment was far from the elite one we had booked and appeared very run down including the balcony. However, reception was very helpful and allocated us another room on the first floor and this was certainly an improvement of the one downstairs. As stated in other reviews the place looks tired and in need of an uplift. There were some cracked/broken tiles around the walkways and some of the sunbeds looked worn. Reception was only open 09:30-17:30hrs. On the plus side the pool bar was good value & we had a takeaway pizza meal from the restaurant and that was good too.
