" so relaxing "

My fiancee and i have just returned from the Golf Plaza. We had an extremely relaxing experience, no hassle, no presure, extemely clean hotel and very friendly staff. the heated pool was fantastic,only ate breakfast at the hotel twice, which wasnt the best.Had breakfast at the Caddy Shack next to hotel which served a good English breakfast. we ate out every night and explored Golf de Sur which has some very pleasant eateriers. The area is very pleasant, quite, safe and friendly. One thing we found annoying was the restuarant touts competing for business and we would advise everyone to check soft drink prices before ordering ie if you want a glass of coke you get a pint and you end up paying 5 euros etc etc. But overall our stay in the hotel and resort was excellent and recommeded to anyone wanting a peaceful holiday.

Advice: Go for it.

Activities: Jimmy steak house and Japanese restaurant by the harbour

" not for families "

We have just returned from the golf plaza and had mixed emotions about the place. We (2 adults and 2 kids ) found the hotel absolutely immaculate. The rooms are a very good size with a large balcony. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bad points was the food, what was there was ok , there just wasnt much choice it was chips with everything. The evening entertainment is very poor indeed and really needs improving. This Hotel is not for families with young children, there is nothing to do outside the hotel, yes there is a very small shopping centre called the san blas, which has about 4 shops in it. The hotel is graded as a 4 star and the hotel itself and the pool area deserve this but unfortunately the entertainment and food would be lucky to get a 2 star.

Advice: not for young children

Activities: siam park

" golf paza.all inclusive !!!!! "

just got back from golf plaza,all inclusive.if you like to see the underbelly of a plane every 5mins...its for you.only my second all inclusive,what a waste of money.service to a/i is at best second rated,if you want a drink during the day, you either sit by the pool or have to go to the smoking bar!!!if you missed breakfast, then you have to wait till lunch at 13.30.which is of a limited choice but ok.you can only get a snack from 15.30-17.00,and you can only have pizza or cheese/ham sarny.entertainment was done on a budget.that said,lovely & quiet location.good irish pub over the road for entertainment.This realy is a half board hotel, not catering for a/i.20 mins to las americas on the bus (2euros)taxi (20 euros).

" recently I have been on holiday with... "

recently I have been on holiday with BIC Leisure Travel. I stayed at the Golf Plaza. I had a fantastic time. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The apartment was huge. I had to spend 90 mins with a BIC rep who was very friendly. After the 90 mins we said we were not interested in purchasing anything. The rep was very nice and we had no hard sell, he even gave us a lift back to the hotel. I strongly recommend the hotel and BIC. If you receive a call from BIC offering you a weeks accommodation for 195 pounds, then take it up.

" Myself and my husband have just been... "

Myself and my husband have just been to the Hotel Golf Plaza in Tenerife. We thought the Hotel was fabulous. The apartment we were in was huge, a lot bigger than most, and we had a great view overlooking the golf course and swimming pool. The pool area is very spacious with plenty of sunbeds for all. I also took advantage of the spa facilities on our last day to pass the time until we had to go to the airport. We would definately reccommend the Hotel. The resort is great too, we were a bit concerned about it being away from Los Cristianos and Las Americas, as we know those areas well, however there are lots of things to do while your there and everything is within walking distance.

We booked the holiday through BIC Leisure as a discounted bonus week on the condition we attended a 90 min presentation. After we had booked we checked out this site and found some reports of 'hard selling' which did concern us. However on the Saturday after we arrived in Tenerife we were met by a polite and friendly representative who arranged an appointment for our presentation during the week. When it came to the presentation it was very relaxed, and at no point did we feel that we were put under presure to buy anything. We were very interested in what they had to offer and our time with the rep did run over the 90 mins but mostly because we were asking all the questions.

If you get the chance to go to this Hotel, even as a bonus week, we would say go for it.

" I took up an offer of a bonus week... "

I took up an offer of a bonus week with BIC Leisure, staying at Golf Plaza. We know Tenerife well but haven't been to Golf Del Sur before. We have also been subjected in the past, with other bonus week companies to the normal "grilling" at their presentations, when we have been reluctant to buy into their company, so we were a bit wary when we took up the offer.
We needn't have worried as
a) Golf Del Sur is a lovely area, NO street traders! No-one jumping out at you from restaurants, and no chinese ladies with clockwork rats. (Who would want one anyway?)
Lovely golf courses, good choice of places to eat out, and check out the marina, a really nice place for a walk after dinner.
The planes do go over the golf courses but they aren't as loud as some of the trousers the golfers were wearing, and they don't go directly over the hotel. (The planes not the golfers)
b) Golf Plaza is without doubt the nicest hotel we have stayed in. It reeks luxury and quality. It is a new hotel and everything is still fresh, unlike some that we have stayed in, which are old and in need of a refurb.
Our suite was so large I joked that we had to share with another family, which did not impress my wife at all. What did impress her was the excellent standard of service we received from the staff, they really do like to make you feel looked after.
Relaxing by the pool on our comfy sun loungers whilst planning a treat in the spa, will be a lasting memory.
c) The presentation was relaxed, polite, no pressure, and most importantly of all, it really was just an hour and a half.
The staff at BIC seem happy, it is a nice company to deal with and although my wife and I declined their offers, there were no hard feelings from them, and we parted on good terms.

All in all, a lovely area, excellent hotel, and a nice co to deal with.

" I got a 'Cheap' week at this... "

I got a 'Cheap' week at this supposedly 4* that's struggling to reach 3* hotel. Ok, so its on the airport approach and you can wave to the crew, but you get used to it. The hotel is spacious and clean. Rooms are reasonable, though for self catering they lack good cooking facilities. We got this place for £150 for the week through BIC. I found their rep quite genuine and helpful. We are long time Timeshare owners and wanted to convert to points anyway, so this was the right move for us. W"e've been through a few 'presentations' but this one was definitely one of the more relaxed and least pushy.

BIC Leisure, Fairway Village, Golf del Sur, San Miguel de Abona 38620, Tenerife.
Tel: 00 34) 922 738549.

I do agree however, that the Timeshare business has more sharks and dodgy characters than the motor trade, especially the re-sale business. RCI needs to take some leadership and control here. I think the more of us that canvas this the better chance we have of regulating things.

" Just arrived back from this resort... "

Just arrived back from this resort with my girlfriend. Very impressed. Hotel lobby is very spacious with a lovely decor which is always great to see when you first arrive. Room was spotless with the basic amenities that you require for a holiday. Each room has a balcony which i feel is a nice touch while waiting around for your girlfriend to get ready. Soon get used to the aeroplanes flying over but they weren't continiously. Swimming pools were also very clean and well looked after. Staff were very helpful and it was nice to come back each afternoon knowing your room was cleaned. If you wish to change money over there then i would advise either the spanish style shop in san blas or even better head to los cristianos where you tend to get a slightly better rate.
We didnt eat at the hotel so i can't comment on the food but found places around the area which we thought were lovely. The area is ideal for couples and golfers and probably retired people but there was not a lot of entertainment for children. There is a bus stop outside the hotel which worked on a hourly timetable. Couldnt fault the hotel and will not hesitate to return.

" We stayed at this hotel as a bonus... "

We stayed at this hotel as a bonus week promotion as we are already own timeshare.

We have never taken up these offers before but this deal was so good we thought it worth the risk.

The hotel is excellent and difficult to fault - my wife made full use of the spa facilities!! - We had a great room looking back towards the mountains. We found the aircraft noise minimal whilst in and around the hotel as the flight path is a little further inland.

We attended the presenation with treidation (this was part of the offer) but it turned out to be very relaxed and although we were tempted we decided against another week due purely to our personal circumstances. There was no problem, and they even bought us another drink at the nearby bar before taking us back to the hotel.

All in all a fabulous holiday and we would certainly consider any future promotions that come our way.

" Never EVER EVER EVER stay in this... "

Never EVER EVER EVER stay in this hotel if you think you are gonna get international 4* accommodation.

Bullet points as to the reason for crapness (specifically this hotel, but also Tener-griefe in general):

(1) If you know about travel and class of stays, and expect a certain feel to a 4*hotel, then this will simply NOT agree with you. It is most certainly not a 4* in the international standard --barely 3* infact! As with most Spanish destinations, they overrate their hotels by between 1-2 star ratings, and this was probably a bad 3*.

(2) PLANE NOISE: was not advised of this on booking, and it WILL get on your nerves. Especially when you had a late night out, only to be awoken at 6am(!) by the first plane of fresh chavs from 'oop-north' English towns arriving.

(3) RUDE MAIDS: speaking of late nights out, if you want a lie-in the next morning, forget it! From 8am till they manage to get you out of your room through constant harassment --ie. ringing on the doorbell (every room seems to have one for some strange reason -- IN A HOTEL ??) at least once every 30 mins-- until you get out of the room. This so-called 4* hotel has never heard of the "do not disturb" cards the rest of the planet has.

(4) CHAVS: yep mentioned the plane loads of them already flying-in from 6am every morning over your head... Just wait til you go to Las Americas (LA) or Los Cristianos (LC) next to it, and that's all you'll see. Don't even think about the Sunday market on the seafront of LC; the nastiest, cheapest load of pieces of shit stalls all trying to sell to you that you've ever seen. You'll notice everyone just walks through it but no one seemed to be buying anything, except northern chavs that is.

Checkpoint to note: the p***-up bars these people love when they're on holiday are ALL that exists in the towns. Even the better restaurants are not very good, if you have been brought-up with London/S.East UK standards. You won't find them here.

(5) POOL: looks nice, just one major thing they might have thought about given it's Dec not the middle of ruddy summer; IT WAS FREEZING!
'mmm... should we perhaps heat the pool at this time of year? nah ****-it, can't be arsed, let em freeze'.

(6) FOOD: rule of thumb; **NEVER EAT ANYTHING IN THIS HOTEL!!** Breakfast was buffet-style and the quality of the ingredients was the cheapest bulk-buy crap possibly ever found in the western world. Lunch/dinner was even WORSE. Rubbery, fatty meat anyone? mmm, yes please, YUCK.

Everything tastes horrible, so just don't bother. Notice every room has it's own kitchen, the managment know it's crap so I'm sure are gonna turn the place into a self-catering place any day now... Even our rep agreed with us FFS(!) -- so why the hell are they selling the place to us holidaymakers on a bloody half-board basis, one can but wonder ?! ... oh yeah; they think they can get away with it and they want our money, that could be the reason...

(7) TENERIFE: look, it's a s*** place OK. End of. (*)

(* Chav's please ignore this statement, as I'm sure you'll love the peed-up mediocre-ness of the place -- just go to Linekers bar as you all seem to do). Blackpool with the sun basically.

(8) WHERE ARE WE?: stuck in the sodding middle of nowhere, that's where!
Buses/taxis to get to anywhere. oh, but I should warn you, the buses don't turn-up on time or ever. And thus taxis of exorbitant lack of value for money are therefore the order of the day.


The most (i) B O R I N G ... (ii) U N C U L T U R E D ... (iii) C H A V - I N F E S T E D place in the world.

" It was with trepidation that we... "

It was with trepidation that we booked a promotional holiday staying at the Golf Plaza. We needn't have worried. The apartments are excellent - very spacious and clean. Staff at the hotel are very helpful. Representative from BIC Leisure was lovely. Gave us lots of useful information about the local area and the presentation was very professional. A good company to deal with.

"  We arrived at Golf Plaza and were... "

We arrived at Golf Plaza and were amazed at the standard of the hotel; a massive reception area took your breath away when you walked in. The staff were helpful and friendly.

The rooms were very spacious and well kept the maids come in every day. We had a ground floor apartment overlooking the pool so had the sun most of the day. There was entertainment in the downstairs bar every night which was great as we had the room right next to it (not too far to stagger back to the room after a couple of Vodka & Cokes.)

We never tried the restaurant as we went out every night so cannot comment on it, the best meal we had was at the Caddyshack just up the road - excellent steak. Brilliant Irish bar opposite or you had legends bar next door, also great fish and chips at The Trawlers Bar at San Blas with excellent entertainment.

We hired a car which you will need as you are a bit out on a limb there, ideal for going to the massive Market at Los Cristianos on Sundays, do not pay to park your car use the free car park between the golf plaza and the albatross next door.

Can highly recommend trying Atlántico Excursions for the usual tours, the others just left people waiting for hours or did not turn up at all.
You must go and see Mount Teide but take a jacket as it can get very windy up there, also try the full island tour.

If you can ignore being under the flight path (which by the way you do get used to you) you will have a fantastic holiday, ideal for golfers and those just wishing to relax and enjoy the most pleasant surroundings.

" We went with Continental Alliance... "

We went with Continental Alliance Travel Group S.L. for a free weeks' holiday.

The hotel was clean and staff pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious and overlooked the pool, much better than overlooking the road. The kitchen area was basic but served its purpose. There was a hairdryer in the lovely bathroom, soo ladies no worries about doing your hair! (or de-misting the mirror when everyone has used the shower).

The TV in the room only picked up 1 or 2 English channels and try as we might there was no way the Play Station would work on it.

Hotel entertainment was OK, but preferred a game of pool and the banter with some of the holiday makers, all washed down with a vodka and coke.

The surrounding restaurants are very good, which was great because even though I am good at it I hate cooking! The beach, well we couldn't find it! So we got a taxi (about 3 Euros) to San Blass beach which took about 4 mins and couldn't find a beach there either, but there are more restaurants and shops.

" We stayed at this hotel for a week... "

We stayed at this hotel for a week during half term in October. On arrival we did not receive a very warm welcome. The lift we were told to use was out of order, but the staff didn't seem bothered when we pointed this out. Not a good start.

As hotel only 10 mins from airport you must expect aircraft noise most of the day and into the night! Rooms OK but very basic - no microwave, limited kitchen equipment, spartan interior.

Finding a beach was a bit of a trek! Nothing close at hand - taxi to El Medano was the best bet which was about 15 mins ride.

The whole area is still being developed so lots of cranes and building sites. Not a very pretty area, nothing you would go back for unless you like golf of course.
