Weather was gorgeous the whole two weeks will def b returning to this hotel, it caters for families, singles , couples.

We have just had a fantastic fortnight at the Bouganville Playa and can't recommend it highly enough - in fact, we are already planning our next trip to the hotel.
The hotel's position is ideal because you are away from anything really rowdy, but close enough to walk to all sorts of nightlife, restaurants etc.
The rooms in the hotel are fine and kept spotlessly clean. The view from our's was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially at breakfast when a huge selection of international choices was available.
The two pools are lovely and we used both of them. When sunbeds were unavailable, the hotel manager produced stacks more, all freshly washed down and proceeded to move them into place himself so that guests were comfortable!
Staff at the hotel work really hard to provide entertainment daily and we enjoyed the pool activities (including almost daily water aerobics and water polo) and some of the evening entertainment. We went out most nights to local pubs or bars, but we did stay for some of the evening events at the hotel. Some of those shows were better than others!
The reason we didn't give the holiday 10/10 was because of the entertainment provided at night. The hotel has a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and there was never anything on there - it seemed a bit of an obvious one to us that they should provide a singer and disco or some kind of entertainment there.
Overall, we had a brilliant time and fully intend to return. It's a lovely hotel, with a very grand entrance and good food. If you get the chance to go, don't hesitate.

Have thoroughly enjoyed all five holidays taken at the bouganville over the last ten years. My wife, two children and myself have visited other destinations in between, but always feel drawn back to this classy but still friendly hotel. Exellent food, good entertainment both night and day, and the friendliest hotel staff i've ever encountered. Will definitely visit again.

Just returned from a very enjoyable week in Tenerife. This hotel surpassed my expectations it was kept spotlessly clean.All communal areas were really nice and comfortable although the rooms could do with an update but these again were cleaned daily.
We were on the ninth floor I personally would have preferred to be a little lower but having spoken to a couple (who have used this hotel for 15 years) was advised that it is probably better to be a little higher particularly in the summer months.
Food although a little repetitive was very good you would never starve and even my fussy eight year old managed to find something each day.
The staff were generally very helpful and friendly .Especially Sarissa the kids entertainer and also Carole.

The entertainment was of a very high standard in the evenings some very impressive groups.
The kids club was very much the same each night but this is from an adults point of view my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her self.
Check out jungle park the bus leaves from outside the hotel every day and its free!!
Loro Parque also worth a day out.
The video on this hotel does not do it any justice as it was made in 2005. The road outside the side of the hotel has been pedestrianised so we didnt hear much noise at all from traffic
or anything else .I would gladly visit this hotel again and recommend it to all families.

We have just booked to go to this hotel again this year as it was really good last year.
We had a family room which had 2 big double beds which was great as we have a daughter of 15, she loved the hotel and made many friends.
My son and his girlfriend are coming with us this year also and cannot wait as we have told them how great it was.
If you get a chance please go to the Star Bar across the road it is great for entertainment at night or if you prefer you will get the live footie matches on one of their many TV screens....
The staff make you really welcome and they do a great breakfast washed down with if you like a really cold bottle of miller. Fab.

Our 4th visit to this resort but 1st stay at this hotel. The Bouganvilla Playa is in a fab location only 5mins stroll either way to the Torviscas area and Playa Americas.
The hotel is excellent rooms are spotless, clean towels and sheets every day, the staff were very helpful at cheerful, the food was also excellent, plenty of choice for anyone's taste.
We had a great view of the pools and sea. Plenty of sunloungers enough for all.
We will definitely be returning to this hotel in Nov 2008.

Just returned from this hotel and it was great. Plenty of room around the pool, the food was excellent and the staff were so polite and friendly.
Entertainment was typical hotel but there is a karaoke and entertainment bar as well as the lounge bar although the sound system in the entertainment bar is crap. Rooms a bit dated but everything else was superb.
The surrounding area is great for entertainment do try the theatre bar across the road it is superb.
All in all a very good Xmas holiday.

This is a lovely, friendly family hotel. Great food, for all age groups and it feels really relaxed. All the staff are great too - particularly Mariano and Patricio who ran the entertainments. They were brilliant with my kids and had a good sense of fun. We have booked to come back again in 2008 and are bringing friends too. I came back from my week feeling relaxed and like I had had a proper holiday. It is very clean and laid back.

I love this hotel so much that our family come back year after year. I have been coming here since the children were small. I have seen each refurbishment only to make it better.
It is a quiet hotel but not that quiet that you cannot make friends. I have come to make friends with staff and I have come to admire the 'older' gentleman on reception ( I think he is the manager) who makes us welcome and remembers us every time we arrive and gives us champagne with compliments in our room every year (except this time- not sure why we did not get it this time though).
I am not sure what his name is but he is a’ Gem'.
The restaurant staff have also become our friends ‘Domingo' he is so friendly and looks after you and is so fast on his feet and always smiles. I praise him all the time. Also 'Elvis'-not sure if that’s his name but we have nicknamed him that. He is polite and has a kind smile they serve our drinks with a smile and they deserve a medal for what they do.
The food in the dining area is always displayed beautifully and the food is excellent. The entertainment is good when we have stayed in for the evening, and the waiter/waitress service is always good (but they could smile a bit more- they look like it’s a chore). The pool area is good. But the second pool overlooking the sea is fabulous.
I miss the drinks hut not being open during our stay there (between the 7th dec and 14th dec). The small bar service for food is good and in the shade, but preferred it better in the open.
There was no traditional singer and banjo players in the dining room anymore on Fridays. I enjoyed it when they were there, it was lively. The hotel rooms are cleaned on a daily basis but the sheets on the bed were not always changed and I had to ask for clean sheets and pillowcases. I am not picking fault as I love this hotel so much.
I wish I could afford to stay longer. The beaches are great and the sea is a picture. I love the weather and the people there. I would love to eventually retire there.
