AC Hotel Tenerife by Marriott

Our room was beautiful, well lit and nicely appointed. We appreciated the small round table with two chairs (so often there’s only one) and individually controlled lights on each side of the bed. The open air (so to speak) closet is well conceived. Two (overhead locker sized) roller board suitcases, when opened, fit perfectly side by side on the low shelf. Drawers below provide ample space for those who wish to unpack. And, the space below that is perfect for shoes. We also appreciated “quiet” HVAC. The roof deck lounge is quite nice. Pool water could use some heat and the lounges don’t have much of an upright position option. But, throw pillows from nearby sofas work to make the lounges more comfortable for reading. The view from the deck is lovely! We did not opt for breakfast, as we chose to explore cafes. But, the morning spread looked delicious as we walked by. The hotel location is perfect for all sorts of activities…walking, catching a bus, taking a taxi or meeting a guide. All-in-all, we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Everything was excellent except that they would not even grant me a one-hour checkout extension.

Staff were v professional upon arrival and helpful. The hotel is next to a lovely square and amenities are very close by. There is a gym for the super models and a nice restaurant for the rest of us. A short walk (20 mins) to the port if you’re catching the cruise liner and a 20min walk to the bus station to go anywhere on the island. Clean and up to date. They have a sister hotel in Gran Canaria, the class runs through the hotels.

Great location, lovely staff. Good breakfast. Excellent rooftop bar. Will be returning if the price is reasonable, bearing in mind there’s lot of competition nearby.
