hi


i know a few people on the forum have been here and wondered if i could pick your brains.


is the resort near anything i.e. can you go for a walk outside of the resort or do you need to get a cab / drive to anywhere outside ?


would you recommend going half board are the restaurants nice?


whats the kids club like i have a just under 1yo plus a 3yo - we would only want to use it a couple of mornings / afternoons not the full week (just to get a tiny bit or relaxation!!)


thanks in advance

I went two and a half years ago just before first child was born.

From my memory there was little to do within walking distance. It was near a beach which wasn't the prettiest. Having said that, the resort put on a lot of excursions-water park, mount teide but being 8 months pregnant, I was happy enough to lie like a beached whale in a sunbed while my husband took advantage of the all-inclusive drinks.

Thought the restaurants were great. The main buffet one was very child friendly and had excellent and wide selection of food. Went to an Italian as well which was nice enough.

Can't help on the kids club but will follow for other replies in case we decide to go again in the future.


Enjoy your trip, Jess

We've been twice, first time had a 2.5yr old & I was pregnant -didn't leave the resort & it was blissful!!


We stayed as sensatori guests, so were all inc (but didn't do drinks package). 2.5 yr old did mornings in the nursery (we'd booked it thinking we'd use it once or twice, but she loved it) & was nice to have few hrs to ourselves. Plus, by having wk booked we got a night free babysitting where we dropped her off at 7.30 & they had hot choc's, cartoons & fell asleep on a mat - we collected her at 11pm having treated ourselves to a meal in one of the pay for restaurants.


Went again in Sept, this time with 10m & 4yr old, again loved it. Pools & kids show in evening fab , restaurants ok & easy with kids (esp the buffet with weaning baby - good opp to try out new foods! ;-))


Did wander into the local village on market day which was ok & they do now have a beach which is nice (but black sand).

Used nursery again (& night babysitting) which worked well as 10m would have his main nap there so we weren't stuck in room for few hrs.


Found it v relaxing & hope to return again.

thanks both and thanks buggy for the 'with children' experience.


so you were able to walk from the resort to the local village? i just like the idea of not being completely restricted and not have to get a cab everywhere with two kids!


will look at senator v booking direct. sensatori don't seem to have the bigger rooms whereas booking direct you can get a 2bed apartment (and not have the children in our room!!)


thanks for your info

Hi Abbie

Been three times now - twice in the adults-only 'Red Level' section and the last time in March of last year when my daughter was 4 months old.

To answer some of your questions:

- It's about a 10 min walk to the local village. Not the most picturesque but perfectly decent. The supermarket on the square does a good range of really tasty but very cheap red wines (they sell the bottle that the hotel charges 22E for for 4E!)

- I think since Jessica went the beach has been tidied up - as buggie says it's black sand but nice enough

- In March of last year at any rate - the Thomson creche and playroom area could only be used by Thomson guests rather than those who had booked directly - worth knowing

- We also booked direct when we went the last time as we wanted a one bed suite with separate living area and they didn't have any rooms like that through Thomson

- Agree with everyone that the restaurants are very good. The main buffet one is mammoth but very efficiently run and always plenty of varied, tasty food. Italian OK. If you fancy a night out on your own, I can recommend the restaurant in the Red level section - that was very nice

- Treat yourself in the spa. I had probably the best massage of my life there, and I'm a sucker for them so have had lots.


If you think of anything else just shout! Funnily enough we're going back to Tenerife in a fortnight but decided to broaden our horizons and go somewhere different this time - mainly because we fancied a villa - so have found a resort where the accommodation is all villas but then you have restaurant amenities, big pool, etc etc.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
