Royal Garden Villas, Tenerife

Visted here in Jan 09 for a bit of sun and was looking for the best this island had to offer, Royal Garden Villa’s on paper were the best you could get for your Euro’s.
Booked 10 days at 350 euro a night and the flights with Monach, the flights were flights and good value. The car hire with red car I think was good value until I had to pay an extra 50 Euro for extra insurance….. not such good value. We were upgraded to a two bedroom villa, very pretty and normally 500 Euro a night, to look at this villa was so so pretty and amazing, the service of the villa was below par with a few of the evening information leaflets being in German …… i’m English. So five star they maybe on paper, but to be honest they have a 5 star look with a 2 star service. The road noise is a problem, if you are in the bottom villa’s then I think this would be a problem.

I say do not stay here, it is a waste of cash……

There is one thing that I would say was truthly amazing and that would be the food ………. the chef is great, the food clever and very big in flavour, go for the tasting menu as you get wine with the food and thats not cheap rubbish wine, but wine that has been selected for the dish.

Food and Restaurant amazing, Villa’s pretty to look at, but NOT worth 5 star money, visit Melia Bali if you would like 5 star treatment and thats less then 5 star money.
