Find Historic Hotels in El Silencio Coast

"A pleasant place, with friendly staff and good-quality food, that is let down by the truly desperate physical condition of some of the rooms. The grouting in the bathroom of the room we were initially given was black and ugly, and there were cracks where the sealant was coming away from the bath. We rejected it as unacceptable and were shown two further rooms that were far from pristine but not nearly as bad. How this place can be rated as five stars beats me. There are signs of underinvestment in maintenance all around the place, with crumbling and cracked paving etc. The state of the bathroom in the room we were allocated would disgrace a one-star hotel in most countries I’ve visited. Does the Tenerife tourism board not care about its reputation as a luxury destination? When was the last time it inspected Barcelo? There are plenty of facilities (seven swimming pools for example) and activities, with a stage and nightly discos and shows, if you like that kind of Butlins-type atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay but I wouldn’t go back - this looks to me like a place that has been on a path of slow decline for some time. In the end, the (mostly) good service can’t make up for the lack of spending to keep the property in a condition that justifies its star rating. "

"I recently stayed at Dreams Jardín with my family and overall had a great experience. The hotel is nicely located, and the breakfast spread is excellent with a wide variety of fresh fruits and juice options. The pool area is perfect for both kids and relaxing in the sun, although you do need to reserve sunbeds quite early in the day. The staff throughout the hotel were very friendly and helpful, which really enhanced our stay. A special highlight was the sunset bar—definitely not to be missed. The selection of drinks and cocktails is impressive, and the bartenders are always smiling and provide amazing service. We also really appreciated the hotel’s thoughtful service on our last day. Even after checking out, we had a late evening flight, and the hotel provided us with a changing room to shower and freshen up. This allowed us to fully enjoy our final day, including water sports and a beach excursion, which was a great courtesy. The only thing that held me back from giving a full 5-star rating was the room. Occasionally, there was a strange smell—similar to chlorine or a chemical odour—coming through the air conditioning vents. We had to open the balcony door a few times to clear it."

"I had such a fantastic time here for my 26th birthday I came on a solo trip. I stayed in one of the villas right by the sea and it was the most relaxing and beautiful place I’ve been to. Staff were very helpful and the self accommodation meant I could cook my own food "

"We had great time at Ona Alborada. We must to thank the whole staff, in particular Vanessa, Giorgia, Carlos and Carlos the Reception Manager for being looking after us. Special thanks to the breakfast staff as fot being the holy Easter week, they have been over any expectation. They were all and above , massive queue every morning outside but very smooth going through...the lady welcoming us at the breakfast was just amazing and was also everywhere during breakfast time. The whole staff i have to say very attentive and professional at the top level. For an easy place like that they would deserve 10 stars, not only 5. To everyone, a massive thank you for making our short holiday break memorable!!! Pretty sure we will see you soon again!!!"

"Nice Location, amazing staff, didn’t try the food, pool and gym were standard. Rooms were slightly dated but when it’s 20°+ all day who wants to sit inside?"

"Staff was lovely here. Had a room change as toilet didn’t flush. Staff brilliant. Food ok. Guests nice. "
