Ocean Palace Apartments

We went for a week in august to Nogal beach apartments. It was scorching hot everyday with warm evenings. The staff are fairly friendly but beware most wont understand you although most of the guests are either English Irish or Scottish.
We had an apartments on the ground floor so got a terrace. The room was nice but a little dirty so had to clean it. The maids came about twice during our stay to give clean towels and change sheets. Electric cooker was a bit of a pain as it took ages to cook and didn’t have an oven so was limited on what you can cook.
Overall the room was quite comfortable. Some things were broken though. The electricity card is attached to the door key and when you go out the fan stops so take of the key and leave the card in all the time so the room stays cool all day. The top floor balconies are massive but being on bottom was good as right outside bar.
The pool was nice. Were pool and football tables. Don’t buy anything from the shop next to hotel. I bought a can of beans two cans of spaghetti and the cheapest looking hair conditioner and it cost 11 something euros! She just made up the prices I think! Just down the hill is much cheaper, varied supermarkets and shops. Getting back up the hill in the heat was tiring though.
I would recommend Harleys, an American diner and bowling alley. The burgers were delicious. There are some nice others little place but you could always just opt for a good old McDonalds or burger king by the beach.
Beware or hair braiders, hustlers and men who want you to eat in their restaurant this gets VERY annoying being approached 100 times a day.
The beaches great but has black sand. Nice though with lots of things to do and just as beautiful at night. It comes alive! The sister hotel is ocean palace (which your allowed to use). The evening shows are a bit naff but entertaining. The rep told us we were not allowed to use it in the day but ignored her and swam in pool, which was amazing.
I would recommend Loro Park Zoo, flash(reps night out)and firebird dolphin and whale watching and Mount Teide. We got the little train but we thought it would stop at Las Americas but just went in a circle. The point? We ended up walking there. Long long walk. Overall this was a relaxing enjoyable summer holiday.

The Ocean Palace Hotel in Playa Da Las Americas was great hotel, it was my second time to Tenerife and my first time to the hotel it was fantastic.
The staff were friendly, the rooms were fantastic, the views from your rooms were brilliant, and the entertainment was fantastic, the food in the restaurant was great, and there’s plenty to do for the kids.
Hope to go back next year in May 2006.

My wife and I flew out on New Years Eve for two weeks and stayed at Nogal Beach, which is the sister, hotel next door to the Ocean Palace.
This was self catering and it was very good in every way. Rooms with mod cons were a treat and the staff were really helpful. The weather was a knockout...about 70.75 every day with plenty of sunbeds to go round and you could go down to the pool area at anytime and find plenty of beds.
The seafront bars were about 10 mins walk...easy going but coming back uphill parts were inclined to get us out of breath a bit but we took our time and didn’t use a taxi once!! (Not bad for me 66...and the wife 54) This was just a little downside of the hotel location but we did get used to it. Be careful here if you have any sort of heart condition. Otherwise I would say that if you go to this resort you cant help but like it.
Oh yes...lovely market on Thursdays on the beachfront...We will be back this coming Christmas. Oh yes. You can use the Ocean Palace hotel next door if you want to and it’s really lovely...

This hotel is situated just out side of Las Americas, near Playa de Fanabe, can recommend the top floor as you can hear the flip flops on the floor which was my pet hate, from arrival at this hotel to when you leave you will be impressed, the rooms were very tastefully furnished and with a free welcome pack with wine, bread milk etc. the swimming pools were checked every day, only seen cleaned once but we were out on trips most times, another nice touch is that they do not let you nick all the sun beds, see note on reception. entertainment for children faultless, the reps do their best to get every body involved, also enjoyed entertainment at night, soft drinks at hotel bit over priced, recommend supermarket just down the road towards beech which is worth the walk. We only had one week, but will definitely be returning. Thank you

Having never experienced a self-catering holiday, this year we went for self-catering in Tenerife. The Nogal Beach apartments are excellent value for money with a regular maid service ensuring your apartment is clean with fresh clean towels on a regular basis. The apartment was equipped with a Microwave, Toaster, Fridge and Electric Oven & Hob. There were 2 swimming pools at the resort: adult and baby pool with poolside snack bar. A grocery shop selling all English products are attached to the resort. Next door to Nogal Beach Apartments was the sister hotel: Ocean Palace and we were able to use all the facilities at the hotel i.e. swimming pools, gym, regular entertainment etc.
We were in Tenerife for 2 weeks and couldn’t have picked better weather - it was so hot but all-in-all, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and I would recommend going back to Nogal Beach.
