Wyndham Residences Tenerife Costa Adeje

Modern apartment with large balcony and great views. Well equipped with modern amenities. Uphill walk from town which we got used to. Otherwise you’ll need a taxi. Short walk to the bus station which we used a lot.

Staff were very tentative to all our needs and issues. They treated all concerns as if it was their own and we were made to feel part of their family.

Each year we holiday in Adeje, staying all inclusive in RIU or Iberostar. Last May we did a "recce" on Wyndham as we were attracted by the positive reviews for a self catering facility. It ticked all the boxes: friendly reception staff, clean, nice pool area with plenty of sunbeds, laundry facilities, etc. Yes it was up a steep hill but the stunning views more than compensated for it. We booked via Tui (a coach transfer as the taxi option wasn't offered when booking online). We booked for 2 weeks. Only 15km from airport, we were 1st drop off. Only problem: the coach can't get up the hill and drops you at the bottom, beside motorway junction for Siam Park. Tui didn't inform us of this (I think Jet2 do likewise for coach transfers). This meant pushing 70kg of luggage, circa 600 metres up a very steep gradient. On a sweaty arrival at reception, we were then informed the main pool area would be out of action for 5 days of our holiday for essential maintenance (which turned out to be 7 days). Tui subsequently said it was for unscheduled maintenance. The hotel offer of an extended happy hour was more a token gesture, not really utilised by pool guests, as their secondary pool is on the 4th floor, with a Ground Floor bar. We were allocated Room D806 which required you to take 4 different lifts. Not the perfect start (note: the 1 bed accom. is on Floor 6, 7 & 8). We then discovered there was a large crate / building site directly below with continuous pile driving noise from 9am prompt each day, Mon - Fri till 6pm. (Again we had no prior knowledge of this). My wife suffers from misophonia and found the weekday daytime construction noise unbearable, so we couldn't make proper use of our room's terrace area. To add insult to injury on our last day we decide to make use of the Ground Floor pool area, only to discover the pool was closed (as someone had defecated in it - it was the start of school half term holidays) and the pool table was out of action too. Maybe we were just unlucky. The actual room facilities are basic but functional. Good size terrace. Adequate replacement of room towels and toiletries. Would I come again, ironically "Yes". It's in a good location and is only 5 - 6 Euros for a taxi up the hill from San Eugenio shopping area. Make sure you have a taxi transfer to and from the airport and as there is now a large excavated crate below the complex (presumably for a new build), check how long the building work is scheduled to take place for, as the noise does travel up the hill!
