" Holiday 2009 "

Firstly, we compliment the size of the rooms, they could not be faulted. First problem was the issue with the sun loungers, not enough to go around, therefore having to get up at 7am to get your spec and await the unchaining of the sunbeds. You had to wait for the sunbeds to be un-locked every morning. The Pool Bar was open, food went down hill as the fortnight went on. The Restaurant was not opened, apparently only opened during winter, to me seems crazy as summer is busy time, so there was no alternative for all-inclusive people. The Taxi's of an evening made their own rates up, it was never the same, we are not talking small amounts..... another issue was that the bar closed at 11am which to me is too early for inclusive people, 12 o'clock seems adequate time to close, 11pm is slightly early. The entertainment in the evening was on a weekly rota, so those booking 2 weeks see the same thing. We did recommend a fortnightly rota. The entertainment is also over by 11pm. The day time has some activities for the children, not much, they tend to keep themselves occupied. If the bar was opened slightly later, the entertainment was resolved and they supplied enough sun-beds to go around the people booking the apartments, this could have been a very high score, unfortunately not on this ocassion. If you do go off the complex, make sure you take plenty of money, its very expensive to eat/drink in the local towns.....

" I have mixed feelings about Green... "

I have mixed feelings about Green Golf Resort. On the plus side…Two of us stayed in a one bedroom apt which was clean and a fair size and well equipped. I was impressed with the complex which was very well kept, tidy and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We only ate in the bar for lunch a couple of times but the food was of a good standard and very reasonably priced. Not using cash and charging it to the room made things nice and easy.

However, on the downside…the pool area was very cramped and what was with the ridiculously loud music that was constantly played all day? Made it impossible to read, sleep, relax or sometimes make yourself heard. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind loud music but playing (the same cd’s) all day long around the pool seemed totally inappropriate. We gave up with the pool and used one of the main beaches in Los Cristianos. Also, the reserving of sun beds by some people was unnecessary as there were plenty (too many in fact); some were being reserved all day and not used till late afternoon and it was not the usual culprits!

The onsite shop catered for your basic needs but was very expensive. We used a local supermarket and just used the onsite shop for bottled water.

The location of the resort in the middle of the golf course made it nice and quiet with a bit of a walk into PDLA or Los Cristianos which was fine during the day but not so pleasant at night. The main road is a pickup place for prostitutes and the track that runs along side is littered with used condoms – not very nice. We felt quite unsafe walking back late at night a couple of times. Probably best to get a cab back after a night out.

This was our first visit to Tenerife. The weather was not the best, very cloudy for a third of the two weeks and it rained 3 or 4 times (although only for a few mins). A vist to El Teide is a must and although expensive, taking the cable car to the top should definately be done.

On reflection, even with some of the negative points, we did have a good holiday and the stay at Green Golf was ok but doubt we would stay there again.

" Excellent holiday we went as a four... "

Excellent holiday we went as a four (2 Couples) and really enjoyed it. The accommodation were really clean and worth the money. The pool and bar were all good through the day, although the food in the bar wasnt the best but it was ok. The use of a key card rather than money in the resort was better as you are less likely to lose money. And the security deposit boxes were in reception in a safe locked room which was also safer and better in my opinion. As for the weather it was excellent one day it even reached 40 degrees celsius and most days it was 30 - 38. only one day it was overcast but still about 25 degrees. The only bad thing were the reception staff on the final day as they were not very helpful when asking questions about keeping the room on (which we couldnt) and keeping the safe on. But apart from this it was excellent and a great holiday, i would highly reccommend and go back myself.

" Just returned from Green Golf in Las... "

Just returned from Green Golf in Las Americas Tenerife for the second time and again we have had a fantastic time. The staff team are spot on and couldn't be more helpful. Its spotlessly clean. The bar staff are great as well as model looking good and the food is delicious and well priced. The entertainment was ok but needs up dating a bit. We got friendly with the entertianment manager and spoke at length about it. The hotel manager also listened and welcomed any suggestions that would make things better. Going to check availability for next year so would highly recomend Green Golf Resort www.golfresortstenerife.com Tel no 0034 922787760

" We stayed here in July 2008, the... "

We stayed here in July 2008, the Hotel was amazing. We stayed on a self catering basis but did buy breakfast, lunch and dinner on a couple of separate occasions. We found out with a day to go that for 30euro a day you could upgrade to all inclusive. The 8 of us regreted it as it would have said the breakfast problems and supermarket runs.

The downside to the hotel is that you need to upgrade your room card with money in the reception to use in the bar or the onsite shop. The bar was reasonably enough priced for tenerife but the shop was dear. The problem fell was that it was a good 15 - 20 mins walk into town to find another shop. So go all inclusive, i highly recommend it. The food was a buffet breakfast, it was gorgeous, the lunches were a standard snack menu, and the dinner was a well prepared evening meal.

As the for the pool, The hotel has 2 pools, one which they let children bring their inflatable toys in and the other more for swimming. And best of all one jacuzzi. The pool was extremely clean. THe pool side had loads of sunbeds and umbrellas, the floor surface is covered with astroturf to stop your feet getting burnt, a nice addition in 30+ heat.

We had two apartments between the 8 of us. Both 1 bedroom, which two beds in the living room. The rooms were of a good size, had a decent kitchen and a lovely big balcony. The rooms were cleaned nearly everyday except Sunday.

As the hotel was slightly out of the town, we walked in most nights but got a taxi back, it usually worked out about 4 - 6 euro to get from the centre of town back. wasnt too bad and no problem getting on.

Being the Green golf, its built in the middle of Playa Des Las Americas golf course, I am a keen golfer and it looked fantastic, it was out of season being july but still in perfect knick. About 85euro per round but as we were guests it would have only been 45Euro. Club rental if required would be 20euro and a cart 20euro.

As the for the weather, we couldnt complain, it was between 30 - 38 degrees all week and lovely and sunny.

As the for the hotel staff, they couldnt do enough, any problems or questions I was treated with a very efficent and polite answer.
I will be back at Green Golf again in the near future, hopefully for a few rounds of golf, but i highly recommend it for all groups. We were a group of 8 guys in our mid twenties looking for a relaxed but fun holiday, which we found. We met people of all ages, familys with young children and also young lively ones looking to party, the main thing was our hotel had a policy of no noise after i think it was 10 or half 10 which was great. The staff were vigilant regarding this and suited us to the ground.

All in all, I have done and will recommend this hotel to everyone, I was extremely impressed. The only pity was that i didnt know about the All inclusive earlier.

" These apartments are fantastic, we... "

These apartments are fantastic, we stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment which were very clean and spacious. We were near the pool however the pool was another story.

The pool rules changed every day, no balls no inflatables even though the resort shop sold them to us. The life guard was on a power trip and made rude and threatening gestures to the guests. Making pig like nosies as she passed and threatening gestures to the kids when the dared to go into the pool with Lilo,s even thought the managment of the hotel said it was ok. She was removed the next day. It took almost 10 days for a set of rules to made and the hotel to stick to. Eventually some pool side entertainment was arranged and music allowed. The pool was the only downside to an excellent resort, its just a pity the rules were not explained and stuck to. Some guests thought it fitting to deficate in the pool which had to be closed on 3 seerate occasions whilst we were there!!!!!!!
If the pool issue hadnt arisen the resort would receive 10 out of 10 as the apartments were first class, the food on the resort was good, sorry cannot comment on the entertainment as didnt have the opportunity to view. Be cafreful with the on site shop as cross charging was happening, hold on to your duplicate reeipts.

" A three star resort. With a five star... "

A three star resort. With a five star service.

Fantastic location. Fifteen minutes from airport. Jn 28 and sign posted. Easy to find.

Fully equiped kitchen. Great bathroom with big shower area. Maid service 5 times a week.

Internet access 1 euro for 10 minutes useage.

Everything other people have written very good reviews.

The down sides:

With 2 large pools at about 5ft deep, A very small paddling pool. Like a puddle.
Made it unsuitable for non swimmers. There is a life guard, And we saw the life guard used on two occasions. The signs around the pool are poor. ie No diving, And depth.

Maybe? One pool could be made for swimmers, And the other for non swimmers.

Unfair usage of sunbeds. Sun beds with towels on, And not used all day. The first two days. We never had a sun bed, But soon put our towels down early.

Maybe? No Towels to be left on sun beds. If not in use, And sun beds for kids.

Very nice tilled floors. Until someone arrives/departs on an early flight. Again when relaxing around the pool, And the cleaners push their trolley.

The walls are thin. And no Air conditioning.

The prices in the shop or bar. No cash. Worked OK for us, But when everything you purchase has an extra Euro on it. The final bill is not what you expect at the end of a holiday. We used the shop around the corner. The food is good Breakfast/Lunch and Dinner. Now served in the bar area. Dont do the Pizza. Its like a large cream cracker with tomatoe sauce and cheese.

We had a nice meal. Watched the footie, And a nice German couple came in. The Gentleman sat down. What happened next?
He lit his pipe and puffed it like a chimney. Charming. Could do with smoking areas.

No safe in the room. They do have a safe at reception.

The TV is 4 Euros a day or 21 Euros for the week. It only has BBC 1/2. Sky sports 1.
Sky news, And Euro sports. Plus 30 Euro deposit for remote control. More channels, Or
do not charge.

Space for driving range, Putting area, Golf trainer. It is a golf resort.

" A "free Week", to get us to go to a... "

A "free Week", to get us to go to a holiday club promotion (originally booked into Bel Air on "Cardiac Hill" up by the Aqua Park, we rejected due to accommodation not up to scratch), having been there before. On that occasion we were "helped" to leave by the holiday club rep, and were put into Oasis Golf resort (first part of the scam)which in contrast to Bel Air, was wonderful.

I mention the "holiday club" aspect as we are yet another victim of the scam, but when you see posters of supposed "backers" eg Cunard, P&O and certain banks supposedly endorsing the system it is easy to fall prey. All that remains is to try to regain some if not all our money. Hopefully.

On our next occasion we were at Green Golf, which was a good resort, clean, friendly with good rooms and pools, but the resteraunt was quite small with little choice if you didnt want to go out.

" Having just returned from the Green... "

Having just returned from the Green Golf Resort I would fully echo the positive sentiments previously posted! It is an excellent complex with beautiful landscaping and pool area, all maintained to an exceptionally high standard. It is clear that some thought and consideration has gone into the design of the complex, a welcome change to some resorts. Our apartment was well equipped and it was good to have a kitchen that was not part of the living/bedroom/dining area. However, one disadvantage was the provision of a 'Z bed' for the third person travelling with our party. This was stored inside the television cupboard and had to brought in and out on a daily basis. Although the resort is located a 30 minute walk from the resort centre, the quietness, tranquility and high standard most certainly made up for this!

I would however recommend that anybody staying here should get a taxi back to the accommodation at night, due to 'ladies of the night' accumulating on the main road into town. Taxis are very reasonably priced.

As we were travelling home on a late night flight, we found the washing and shower facilities provided in the main reception area very good and of a high standard. A left luggage store is also provided.

All in all, a big thumbs up!

" I HAD THE WORST HOLIDAY EVER IN THE... "

I HAD THE WORST HOLIDAY EVER IN THE GREEN GOLF. When we arrived the hotel was stunning, clean and had a nice big pool. However if you are between the age of 18-25 and are in playa for a good time, do not stay here. 10 of us went and stayed here, which ended up in 4 members of the group being assulted by the sercurlty guard for being to loud. one of which was a 20 year old female, who was hit to the ground from behind for putting her hands in the pool, after hours. we did not feel safe and had to leave for a new hotel. Our tour operator did hardley anything. he advised us not to go to the police as they would not defend us. when we asked to see the cctv footage of a member of our party being attacked, they said that the tape was stuck in the player. i bet it was. We paid £287 each and half of us slept on a fold down camp bed, which was not comfy at all. The key card system is a utter rip off, very expensive, food is not nice from the pool side bar, and entertainment is a joke. the hotel looks nice, but scrach away the surface and its con.

" I have stayed in the green golf... "

I have stayed in the green golf resort every october school break for the past 8 years, I always and always will have an AMAZING time there & I think I will be going every year for the rest of my days!

I would especially like to thank & praise the night time security guard as he was absoulutially brilliant & helped me a great deal one drunken night.

I would recommend the green golf resort to anyone couples, young holiday makers & families alike.

" Have to add a review for 1st time... "

Have to add a review for 1st time ever as we thought this accomodation was excellent. The resort is very pretty and very well kept. We had a Duplex apartment which we loved, we had 2 bathrooms and our own sun terrace, it was spotless. Our friends had a Studio which was just as good, also with sun terrace. The heated pool tempted me for the first time in years, the Pool Bar food was very good and varied, unfortunately this usually closed at 6.0 unless there was entertainment. The walk into either town was about 30 mins, we got Taxis at night which were cheap and easy to find, Taxi rank at end of road by hotel. There is building work opposite but not before 8 oclock or after 6 and we were entertained by seeing the design of the house. Mini market stocked a basic selection and fresh baked bread. The best part of the holiday was the excursions from Direct Excursions. Easy to book by telephone, picked us up from end of road and excellent value for money. The guide Leon was brilliant and very informative, we went to Mount Eide and Las Gomera, both were very good saw Dolphins both ways on ferry, had a good dinner and lots of stops for pictures, although our friends went up in Cable car on Mount Eide (not included in Excursion) and saw nothing as it was misty so £20 was expensive but there was snow on top. We had 2 door keys which meant did not have to keep tabs on each other, but keep eye on money card as can run out without you realising but it is a good idea. All in all very good value for money, we would not hesitate to recommend this resort to all types of holiday makers, all it lacked was a bar at night in case of bad weather but that is just personal opinion and may have created more noise.

" Just returned from a weeks winter... "

Just returned from a weeks winter break in the Green Golf Resort in Tenerife.The Resort was clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and helpfull and the food was good value for money. The pool area was spotless and clean, a little short on sun bed space having said that we always got one although we did have to put towels out early and not because of the Germans mostly British. The resort does offer some entertainment tho a little restricted, the entertainment manager ( Norwegen and very NICE lads) was funny and very entertaining. The only draw back is that the resort is a good 20 minute walk into town down hill, a free bus is available at set times the last one been 5.10 pm. Over all a nice resort to which we would be returning.

" I can honestly say that these are... "

I can honestly say that these are some of the best apartments we have stayed at in a long time. They are at the top end of the golf course so its a bit of a walk into the town centre, but they are right on the golf course (great if you play which I dont) and golfers tend to be a fussy lot and look for a higher standard than the norm.
The apartments were spotless and well equiped, such as well kitted kitchens with kettle, coffee maker, microwave, big fridge, good bathroom with a decent shower, comfy beds and plenty of storage. Some are duplex villas with more than 1 bedroom and balconys on both floors.
The pool areas and grounds were well kept, theres a lifeguard on duty at the pool all day. There were lots of sun beds (but I suppose it is January) all clean and in good condition.
The pool bar was good for lunch with a decent menu. we only used it once for breakfast which was OK but I'd like to have used it more before offering a review on it. They run a BBQ night and a Spanish night twice a week on the pool bar, the rest of the week the main restaurant is open. We didn't use it but it had lots of customers which is a good sign.
There is also a small shop, the opening hours are limited which isn't handy and its a bit expensive. We also got a carton of milk from it which was off so I think that the shop is the only weak point of the complex.
All in all a good place to stay if you don't mnd a bit of a walk into town, great if your a golfer - the clubhouse is 50 yards from the front door.

" We all loved Green Golf apartments... "

We all loved Green Golf apartments and would definitely go there again if we go to Gran Canaria again. Went in November and first 5 days it was non-stop sunshine and temp was 31 degrees. Last 2 days only slightly cooler with a little cloud. Maspalomas is a great place for families. Much quieter and pleasanter than Del Ingles, but lots of great restaurants, and the beach is fantastic.

Green Golf was very clean; the Pools were great and the staff really friendly. Would recommend this to anyone.

We were self catering, but you can still eat at the restaurant and pay on the day. Buffet breakfast and evening meal. Also a la carte menu in the evening, and snacks & sandwiches at bar at lunchtime.
