hotel name?
end of the day u cant really judge from reviews as a lot of people book a 3 star hotel and want it to be the equivelant of a 5

i've been there before and it was awesome.
the volcano, the beach, the sea, the water park 
people say its a shithole but they obviously have only stayed in 3 star hotels or something.
iv stayed there, really nice hotel, shite food and the pool (if you call it one ) is always cold or was always cold

Vernoica's was/is a shit hole but that is the area I believe has had a lot of money spent on it. I have family how live in Santa Cruz and San Isidro up in the north of the Island so dont really venture down to Las Amercas when I stay with them, although the next town over Los Cristianos is a lovely place

we won't be spending any time at the pool, it's all about the beach and sea we're half board aswell but probably won't eat in the hotel as i'd rather go out and get something decent to eat

th ego carting just out of town is ace, if you have a rep you can arrange it through them and get a bus to pic you up, the water park is good fun too although one of the slides was closed for repair whn i was there (may this year), thats aboutght 15 min walk or 5 min taxi, veronicas, its not bad but not the best by far plenty of offers as always, was funny when i went as 3 guys 3 differnet pubs stopped us so i started bartering with them and seeing who could do the most drinks for the best price, they didnt like it but i got more for my buck, couple of lap dancing bars that arnt too bad seedy (like most of them)
i found a few good bars pubs along the front that did karoke (sp) which were a good laugh, if theres only 2 of you just try getting to talk to other people in hotel and youl soon find people to go out with

I tried searching mate but couldn't find anything conclusive. I found some pics which looked like the ones I took. If it is the same place then it was ideally located. Just far enough away so you miss all the noise, but close enough to stumble home or pay a couple of EURO's in a cab.

Los Cristianos it says Das Americas on the holiday brochure!!!
las americas and los cristianos are joined together...
basically ur on the edge of las americas, but depending on which tour operator u speak to , some will say its cristianos, others americas.
nothing to worry about
