CLUB LA COSTA AT THE PARADISE CLUB

Tenerife - Torviscas Alto - Adeje

May 2007 - RS
The Paradise Club was lovely, agreed, a little out of the way compared to the Sunset Bay / Sunset Harbours, but all that you could need on the complex. The apartments were furnished really well, microwave oven, regular sized oven, fridge freezer, etc. The 2 bed that we had had two big bathrooms, each having a bath in and a shower. Although not air conditioned, all rooms had ceiling fans. The apartment and surrounding areas were spotlessly clean – I couldn’t fault that at all.  The balcony was huge – 4 sunbeds and a table and six chairs, plus a drying rack which came in useful. A pleasant surprise when we checked in we were given towels to use around the pool, I think there was a deposit charge for these, but only very small. The was a safe in the apartment which was also charged for. On the subject of safety – the windows all had locks on the inside ( in addition to the one built into the window), and the front door was operated by means of a swipe card, so we all felt very safe. There are two restaurants on site – one very casual that has an 8€ three course offering which was great value and good food. The other more formal but not over bearing, which was more varied but still catered for children. Both are situated by the poolside and have fabulous views in the evenings down to the sea. The pool was lovely and it does get the sun all day. There is a small children’s pool which was great and only about a foot deep. There is a shop on site very well stocked and not overpriced. We also used the launderette – washers and dryers available – the wash cost 3.75€ including the washing powder. So, the walk!!! It took us about 20 minutes to get to the beach – all downhill which was fine. Back up the hill took a little longer and with a pushchair loaded down with towels, buckets and spades etc was fairly tough, however on a couple of occasions we did get a cab back and it was 4€. Had we not had the pushchair, it would have been an easier walk for definite! So – all in all a great resort I felt – no need to leave it if you didn’t want to but the beach is great and some very friendly restaurants very close by so it was nice to come off the beach get a bite to eat and head back.
