I went about 3 years ago and hated it, filthy place, honestly never seen so many cockroaches in my life!! On the other hand I know people who go year after year and love it.
Which hotel you in?

you'll probably find they've booked a cheap deal and got 2 star efforts and have the cheek to complain when its manky...]
i've been going to tenerife for over 10 years and stayed in a variety of hotels. The only real places you will find are "manky" are around veronicas and the hotels the 18-30 / freestyle /twentys mob frequent.
what hotel u staying in mate?

I stayed in a lovely 4 star, water park was spot on everything outside of that was awful and dirty tbh. As I said before though I know plenty of people who love it.

it's pretty good from what i can remember. obviously not like the real clubbing destinations ibiza etc but still able to get cheap drinks, good music and some nice girls.
i'm in a long term relationship so i'm going there to chill out on the beach and go to the water park and mount teide but if you're single it'll be a good laugh indeed

Hopefully it'll be good - im really sceptical about it, weve paid alot of money and the reviews arent great for the hotel I been to Zante 3 times so i cant be worse than some 3star place in Greece??

We went about 4 years ago. Stayed in a nice 4* hotel which was great. However down the Veronica's strip the place is filthy. We went in one bar and the wall was crawling with cockroaches.
It was a shit hole.
But I have also heard it has since been shut down and cleaned up.
