Regency Torviscas Apartments & Suites

It’s a lovely, quiet area, and our apartment was really big and spacious. The staff were amazing and so helpful, especially Cathy & Sara at reception. There wasn’t much evening entertainment, though maybe that was just the time of year. Wednesday night had a BBQ. You can rent towels from reception for the week and swap them during the week. It’s about a 17 minute walk downhill to the main Costa Adeje strip, but getting back up the very steep hill means taking a taxi.

We stayed at the Regency Club, which as far as we could tell is the same place. The accommodation and facilities were good, and there’s a great bakery on site. We also had a lovely barbecue one evening. The WiFi was the exception, as it was being updated. For us as a couple over 70, the daily walk to the beach and restaurants felt long, even in relatively cool weather.

The staff act like they’re above everyone. We couldn’t play ball in the pool, the room sockets didn’t work, and they told us to clean our rooms so the cleaners could clean. We weren’t allowed to bring scooters into the room or play loud music, or dive in the pool. The lifeguard would probably let you drown, but wouldn’t let you play ball games.

A pleasant hotel, though the rooms, while clean and tidy, felt a little run down. Staff were helpful, and the 4-5pm happy hour was nice. There’s a bus stop right outside and a big Mercadona and shopping centre about a seven minute walk away. The beachfront at Costa Adeje is about 20 minutes down the hill.
