Costa Mar Ocean View Apartment by DreamHomesTenerife

It's an old place, but our room was clean and worked fine. We were there in November and didn't need air con, though I wonder how people manage in July. Legends bar felt a bit dark for a sunny evening, and it's probably an acquired taste. You're near the far end of the promenade, about a 20-minute walk from the centre. Still, the stroll to the bars and restaurants is nice, and you get your steps in. The hotel next door would probably cost twice as much.

The views are breathtaking, and the staff and residents were lovely. The complex is right by the beach, with a bar, a British supermarket, and fresh water pools. It's one of the first resorts built for tourism in Los Christianos, so the rooms have an older, cosy charm. They were clean, though a little dated and marked here and there. The cleaners deserve a special mention: they came every other day and were such happy, lovely people. We'll definitely return.

A nice, quiet part of the south, away from the craziness elsewhere. There's plenty to do nearby, and it's a good place for a holiday.

The location is lovely, but the room was horrible. The building feels shabby and run down, and the sunbeds are rock hard with no cushions, yet you have to pay to use them. Not a nice place to stay.
