I have stayed twice a year for the last 10 years in that hotel in April and November and usually the night breeze makes it fine for sleeping with no air con, and apart from the quad bikes going up the hill in the middle of the night it's been fine for me. It does seem very hot this year, you said 31 in a video about 7-10 days ago! At least you are not on the other side of the hotel where trucks come in all through the night to the laundry because they wash for a bunch of hotels in the chain. One year in September, my wife and I stayed in playa del las Americas (at the Sol) and the hotel air con was broken so we had to have the patio doors open, but the noise from the bars was so loud we couldn't sleep. So with the air con broken and the noise, it was a 2 week nightmare. Enjoy the weather, it's freezing back over here 🥶

Stayed there just over a year ago. Wasn't overly crowed but walked by it in August and pool area packed. AI was decent enough, I'll eat most things personally but they struggled with a lack of staff and we regularly had to clear away tables ourselves just to get sitting. We stayed on the 12th floor facing on the other side from the pool which I thought had better views of the port and sea. The pool view rooms got hot due to getting the sun all day. Also cockroaches were everywhere in the evening. They were in the joints of the buildings exterior stone cladding and would regularly drop onto your balcony from above. Great location though.

Kevin I actually stayed here in the early 70s when first built and when it was a good place and one of the first hotels there. Have been to look at it several times since as its changed hands several times ....and yes its "" rough "" Interesting point though is the manager is still the original...wonder what he thinks about it !!!

So, now you are back where you belong, treat yourself to a trip inside Bar El Infierno. It is a bit dark inside, and scary! A must though for something a little different than the normal bars. Really good cocktails too.
