Vigilia Park Reviews
" One week in Vigilia Park Hotel "
Submitted By: hsaxby
Myself, partner, and three children have just returned from Vigilia Park having had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. The apartment was clean and spacious, comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and two balconies. We did notice ants in the bedrooms and informed reception who sent a cleaner the same day to spray the rooms.
The restaurant seemed to cater for english tastes. Meals were in the form of an all-you-can-eat buffet. Breakfast was cereal, continental, pancakes, meat, cheese, fruit and some components of traditional english. The evening meal did not give as wide a choice however we enjoyed all our meals. The only night we were disappointed was Thursday night as it is fish night, which none of us eat. However, when we proceeded to leave the waiter asked us why and we explained that we were happy to eat elsewhere that night. He insisted we stay and had the chef prepare a platter of steak and chicken for our table.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful when we needed trips booking and transfers confirming. We asked to extend our room stay as we had a late flight. As the room was booked we were only given 2 hours more but this was at no extra cost.
There were three pools at the hotel, all of them quite small. One was more of a paddling pool, the other quite deep and very cold, both on the roof of the hotel. The ground floor pool was heated slightly and more suitable but neither of the larger pools was suitable for non-swimmers without floatation.
Despite the minor inconveniences we were very happy with our stay.

Advice: A small, quiet town with steep hills. A pleasant beach 10 minutes walk away in Playa de Arena.
Activities: El Teide trip with cable car is worth a visit though is quite expensive.
Good for: Beach

" Good on a budget! "
Submitted By: Mand the copper
The accomodation was clean tidy and had a maid who came each day apart from Sundays. Only one small towel per person was given to us, caused an issue with our teenage girls. The rooms were upstairs to the appartment and there was a bathroom there, with another one downstairs by the kitchen. The kitchen had no oven and a old boiler in the a cupboard which did not give out a lot of hot water, there was also ants too. The area of the hotel was open to members of the public, our teenage girls were followed by a drunk old man one night. We called reception who did not answer after l had got rid of him at our front door to our apartment. I then went downstairs to find the female receptionist in fear that she may not be ok, she said she would call the police if he came back as there was no security at the hotel. Shopping downstairs was ok with a supermarket and gift shops. You need a car as there is not much to do in the area the main resorts are 40 miles away, the hotel has no carpark but you can generally find a space outside on the road. When we did use a bus to go to Los Cristanos it cost 28 Euros to get there the 4 of us, it was a long way. The girls like the pool area the breakfast was alright my partner did not like the coffee, eggs fried bacon bread, cheeses and meats with cereals.
Advice: A nice place
Activities: The volcano Del Teide, you need a car or it will cost yopu if the kids go, but on the tours they do

" Stayed for a week at Vigilia Park in... "
Submitted By: Mr J Roberts
Stayed for a week at Vigilia Park in a two bed roomed apartment.
Complex is tidy and clean though attention to detail is a little lacking. Apartment was cleaned regularly but we had ants in the kitchen.
Pools are small and can get a little crowded. Lots of noisy kids there during our week.
Public Lido about a mile away in Los Gigantes. Much more room and quite a high standard.
Within walking distance of many restaurants and bars. Little Italy was particularly nice. Beautiful restaurant and reasonable prices. Lasagne to die for.
Los Gigantes is a beautiful part of the island, a 20 minute drive from the chaos of Los Americas. Far enough for a peaceful holiday, yet close enough for a visit...if you must!!

" We have just returned from a weeks... "
Submitted By: Mr R Cox
We have just returned from a weeks holiday in Tenerife - Vigilia Park, we were given a top floor two bedded apartment, one room was en-suite with sliding doors onto a balcony- with fantastic views of Los Gigantes, very pretty.
The apartment was very clean and tidy, we were right next door to the roof top swimming pool/snack bar, it was really nice, the only thing I would point out is- the main pool was far to deep for non-swimmers, but the kiddies pool was just right.
Puerto de santiago and Los Gigantes are in my opinion the prettiest part of the island, a bit hilly, but don't let that put you off as the taxi/buses are really cheap. We went self catering so we ate out every night, which again was very cheap, and you had a good choice of restaurants, we love Italian and found a lovely place called "Little Italy”, very good price, great food and very nice setting.
If you want to go on any trips - a small piece of advice-book them as soon as you get there, as we left it a few days and quite a few were booked up, we did get to go to two zoo's, Loro parque- very good day out, if you only go to see the sea-lion/dolphins/orca show you won't be disappointed, and Jungle park- if your a big cat lover don't miss it, brilliant.
.
It was our first time to Tenerife, and we will definitely be returning.

Just returned from Vigilia Park this week with my husband and 2 children and family with same age kids.
Wonderful location excellent reception service and superb cleaning daily including changes of towels. In a 2 bed apartment it was dupex with 2 balconies and 2 bathrooms. The pools were small but clean.
Evening entertainment very little but a 3 euro taxi would take you to bars with shows etc. lovely tapas and restaurants 5 mins from apartments. Will return again.
