Malibu Park Apartments

Just came back from malibu park today 1-8-08 and malibu park has put me off Tenerife all together. First of all the apartments are discusting, the toilets smelt like a sewage, we had cockroches in the toilet, the water from the shower flooded and nothing was working in the apartment when we arrived. The holiday rep Becca was really nice, she would try and get any problems we had fixed. But never again if I went to Tenerife I wouldnt go back to Malibu Park.

Fantastic holiday! the apartment itself was clean and tidy and all the bar and pool areas were always well maintaned. Our thomas cook rep Beca was a great help aswell as the people working on reception. the only people we found a problem with were the grumpy and rude security staff. other than that awesome holiday recommend it to anybody!

Having returned we felt we needed to leave it a wee while afore we added comments! This is our second visit to Tenerife but different accommodation. 2 adults and 3 children aged 16,13 and 11.
Having booked this holiday over the phone with Tomas Cook we were informed that there was only (1) 2 bedroomed appartments left,so that put abit of pressure on use to book, we decided to just go for it as we never seem to get everyone in one room and the price suited us. We had read the reviews and we was going to cancel
We arrived late on the Friday evening and was given a map along with directions to our 2 bedroomed appartment on entering the room seemed fresh and cool i then went to open the front porch curtain to be faced with a WHITE WASHED WALL OMG :( this was not the view that was described in brochure as it stated either pool view or sea view well off i trotted to the 24hr reception, i asked to be moved but the man behind the desk a foreign origin did not understand what i was asking or he did understand but he didnt want the hassle.He seemed rather harrassed as another couple who had arrived the same eveing were also asking to be moved, i decided i would see rep the following morning but the rep called to see how things were the following morning i informed her that we was not happy looking onto a white washed wall, she informed us that she would check with reception to see if there was another apartment.
Later that day we was informed by the rep that there are only (2) 2 bedroomed apartments at malibu park so we had only one more apartment to look at but there was a problem!!! the other apartment had its front door kicked in! and the rep would need to talk to management to see if it could be repaired for us, she advised us later that day that they would repair door for us but we wanted to see room first. We went for a viewing a dressing table was securing the damaged locked door the damaged door was direct access into a bedroom,the view from the balcony was amazing it was once 2 single apartments but they had been knocked through to one another so we had 2 toliets 2 separate balconys they were not very clean mould and the shower curtain, also no air con'd so will be looking for this in our next holiday :)The Balcony doors security OMG Piece's of Wood they did not lock only by using wood lets just say we was glad to be 3 floors up. We didnt move into the room till the Monday Rep advised us the repair would be carried out while we were in the apartment. The DOOR was never fixed the whole time we was there!!! The supermarket closed really early well lets just say if we stored things like her in this country we would be defanitaley closed down. The poolside bar was good but prices seemed to change for a pint of darada 2.25euros then the following day for the same thing 2.55 then an hour later 2.95euros so abit expensive.Cleaners were ok but it seemed to always be a rush job. SUNBEDS was another prob not enough But a pile lay chained up and guess what no one could find the key to open them, also no PARASOLS didnt bother me but for those who did have kids it did!! Pool during my stay i only saw it being cleaned once only with a fish net tho no hoover system here! The pool NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY brochure does not state this, it didnt bother me but for some folk looking to booking a holiday with little ones i think this advice is amust!Talking to other guests We was also told to be aware of stealing those who did have apartments near the pool area were being broken into on a regular basis. CCTV cameras are all over the place but do they work!!
Also as there were alot off singles they seemed to sleep all day and party all night, and noise levels got out of hand on our second week someone had vommited down the walkway from the above apartments this was never cleaned up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PESTS HUMANS AT THE BEACH AREA NO JOKE and it wasnt just famillies they were bugging!!! overall we will not be going back
Places to eat SCOTCH CORNER :)

Hi,
Got Back From tenerfie on 20th of june had a great time. Got there about 3o clock in afternoon got to room it was ok clean had a good view of the pool from our balcony. We seen about 3 cockroaches beside the back of the hotel that was it. Reception was handy we got a safety deposit box just to be on the safe side but nothing happened. Its not just a piece of wood to hold the balcony door shut theres a lock on the door. Security good at Malibu Security Guards patrol day and night would go back to Malibu was a great holiday.

ive just came back from tenerife 2 days ago with 11 of my mates and like everyone else we were abit apprehensive because of the bad reviews we read. we got there about 1-2 o clock in the afternoon and went straight to the pool. pool area is very clean, there were plenty of sunbeds and there is two pools - one which i couldnt stand up in because its so deep all the way around, and another pool which is shallower which everyone went in. the pool has lovely surroundings aswell. and people keep mentioning about how the pools were cold, but they are exactly the same as any other place... and what do you want... a hot pool in hot weather?
there was 3 appartments spread between the 12 of us and non of us had any problems with them. there was more than enough room for all of us, even the boys who sometimes had 5 in their room. it did get abit hot in the rooms because there is no air con but we always had a good night sleep. one of the nights there was VERY noisy neighbours - but some sort of crisis was going on so that was forgotten.
on one of the days, one of the appartment doors wouldnt lock properly and so reception was notified and they sent out a technition within the next half an hour or so.
the malibu park appartments are right down the road from aqua land (the water park) which is down a little hill, nothing bad at all. and if you dont want to walk down that there is a lift/stairs at the back of the appartments which goes right down beside the chinese. this is very nice to eat in by the way, the woman was lovely! and she let us polish off 2 bottles of liquor after we got the bill.
the appartments are quite out of the way of the main nightlife such as starcos, veronicas etc. but taxis only cost 7 euro to get there, so split between a few
of you is absolutely nothing to complain about.
there was alot of young people here aswell but also alot of families and couples. so i would say theyre for all ages and nothing in particular.
we seen no cockroaches or any sort of bug! and the weather was absolutely bliss. there is nothing bad to say about the holiday! i really reccomend it to you! and if you have any problems just go to your rep. ours, becca, was absolutely lovely and would do anything for us. happy holidays!

i was worried about goin to malibu park after reading alot of bad reviews on here, but i really dont see what people are moaning about.
me and my friend got there around 9pm after getting sorted in recepetion were giving our keys to the room.
the rooms were spot on for a 3 star, easily big enough for the 2 ov us and were cleaned at least 3 or 4 times in the 1 week i was there, kitchen and bathroom were clean to
my whole stay i only seen 4 cochroachers which were while we were walking about, not in the hotel
the staff are friendly and food is ok at bool bar.
dont be put off like i was from reading reviews cos i would definatly go back to malibu park.

i have just got back from mailbu apartments in tenerife, i arrived on the friday with my partner and baby who is crawling the thirst thing i noticed that there was broken class chipps under the coffe table and chair where my son could get to so i went and complained to the staff who said it could not be done intill monday when the cleaners where back, so i had to do it.......... Not what you expect to be doing when you go on hoilday anyway the bathroom was not up to cleaning standers so be prepared if your going especialy the crockcrothes but that cant be helped overall i guess thats what you get for a cheap hoilday luckley we only slept there.............tenerife is a brillant place to go to hot cheap and a lot to do i will be back to tenerife next year but not back to mailbu park be warned the hill is steap not good in hot weather with a buggy

slightly put off by all the negative reviews i read! went with 4 other lads! as we arrived at about 1am we went straight in to reception where we were greeted by the receptionist, he was very helpfull although he couldnt speak much english! within 5 mins we had the keys and were taken to the appartments by the security guard!
the appartments were spotless apart from the cooker which had a bit of grime on the inside! we had 1 cockroach in our apartment all holiday due to the guys fumeigating the drains! the security inside the apartment was fine! all we did was slide the little wooden coffee table in the patio door so it couldnt be opened from the outside which took no more than 5 seconds.
the maid came most days out of the 2 weeks and we always got fresh towels and bed sheets! the thomas cook rep was also extremly helpful, always asking if we were ok and helped us if we needed anything or just there for a chat!
the poolside bar was great, nice friendly staff and the food was spot on! each night they were showing the football games and 2 films!
the only reason i am rating this a 9 is beacause the pool side bar didnt serve carling!!!!!
dont be put off by mindless comments! you get what you pay for, these are basic appartments!
