All Inclusive Resorts in Costa del Silencio, Arona

"A pleasant place, with friendly staff and good-quality food, that is let down by the truly desperate physical condition of some of the rooms. The grouting in the bathroom of the room we were initially given was black and ugly, and there were cracks where the sealant was coming away from the bath. We rejected it as unacceptable and were shown two further rooms that were far from pristine but not nearly as bad. How this place can be rated as five stars beats me. There are signs of underinvestment in maintenance all around the place, with crumbling and cracked paving etc. The state of the bathroom in the room we were allocated would disgrace a one-star hotel in most countries I’ve visited. Does the Tenerife tourism board not care about its reputation as a luxury destination? When was the last time it inspected Barcelo? There are plenty of facilities (seven swimming pools for example) and activities, with a stage and nightly discos and shows, if you like that kind of Butlins-type atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay but I wouldn’t go back - this looks to me like a place that has been on a path of slow decline for some time. In the end, the (mostly) good service can’t make up for the lack of spending to keep the property in a condition that justifies its star rating. "

"10/10. Perfect for couples, families and surfers! Recommend going for the sea view rooms as it’s away from the strip plus the views and sunset are lovely! "

"We had great time at Ona Alborada. We must to thank the whole staff, in particular Vanessa, Giorgia, Carlos and Carlos the Reception Manager for being looking after us. Special thanks to the breakfast staff as fot being the holy Easter week, they have been over any expectation. They were all and above , massive queue every morning outside but very smooth going through...the lady welcoming us at the breakfast was just amazing and was also everywhere during breakfast time. The whole staff i have to say very attentive and professional at the top level. For an easy place like that they would deserve 10 stars, not only 5. To everyone, a massive thank you for making our short holiday break memorable!!! Pretty sure we will see you soon again!!!"

"Staff was lovely here. Had a room change as toilet didn’t flush. Staff brilliant. Food ok. Guests nice. "
