About the home

Large, spacious studio, decorated in relaxing, neutral colours and well-maintained throughout.
Extensively renovated in 2009, including a new tiled floor and new kitchen - photos to be updated soon.
The bathroom includes a sink with vanity unit, mirror and shaver point, WC and bath with shower over.
The bedroom area has wall mounted fan that oscilates over both beds to keep you cool on those warm Canarian nights and full-height curtains which can be drawn completely around the beds for additional privacy.
There is a double wardrobe (with full length mirrors on the doors and lots of coat hangers) and a good sized chest of drawers, which doubles as a dresser with the wall-mirror and ample lighting.
The living area includes a 3 seat sofa bed, 2 seat sofa, dining table and 4 chairs, a coffee table and a large TV, showing channels including BBC, ITV, Sky Sports and Movies. There is also a ceiling mounted light/fan.
There is a DVD player with a large selection of pre-recorded DVDs available and a radio/CD player with a small selection of music discs.
The kitchen area includes a fridge with ice compartment, 2 ring electric hob, kettle, toaster, microwave and a good selection of cutlery, crockery, cookware and glasses.
There is a hairdryer, iron and a full-size ironing board.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The studio has a large shady terrace with comfortable cane furniture, perfect for your morning coffee or evening aperitif. It is also an ideal space for dining and has roller blinds for added privacy if required.
Both the front door and the french doors to the terrace feature security grills and there is also a safe for your use in the studio for added peace of mind.

Further details outdoors:
The complex has 2 adult pools one is heated in winter and the other has a childs pool next to it. Around both there is ample sunbathing space and sunbeds that are availble free for residents to use. There is usually a life-guard on duty.
The Royal Palm complex is styled like an Andalusian village with extensive gardens and public spaces. These are well maintained by the complex management.
Also on the complex is Rosie's Cantina, a popular Mexican restaurant well worth a try if you like Mexican food.

Further details

The studio is accessed by steps and so may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties.
We kindly request that guests do not smoke inside the studio - only on the large terrace.
No pets are allowed on the complex and guests are kindly requested not to feed any strays.
The complex has rules regarding unacceptable music and noise levels and we would ask you to comply with them.

The Tenerife region

The most prominent attraction on Tenerife is Mount Teide, Spain’s highest Peak and very popular with tourists and locals. There is the Loro Park (Parrot Park) in the North at Puerto de la Cruz, which reputedly has the largest population of Penguins outside of Antarctica amongst it’s attractions.
Santa Cruz, the islands capital is excellent for shoping and just south of the city is a large Carrefour shoping complex which houses a number of shops and a very large supermarket.
Santa Cruz is also the home of Club Deportivo Tenerife, the islands main football team, who currently play in the Spanish second division. There is a fan club operating from Las Americas which consists of mainly British ex-pats. They attend every home game. If you are interested in joining them take a look at their website for more details. www.armadasur.com. It's a great day out for any football fan.
Closer to Los Cristianos, there is the Aqua-park (Water Park) in Torviscas alto.

The Los Cristianos / Oasis del Sur area

The area immediately around the complex is quite quiet however there are a number of bars and restaurants all within a few minutes walk. There is also a night-club in the basement of the Beverly Hills club complex which also allows free-access to holidaymakers, who are not guests at the Beverly Hills club.
There is a supermarket just opposite the nearest complex-entrance to our apartment, there is a small English-products supermarket down the road in the Beverley Hills complex and there is a big new Spar supermarket opened in the shopping complex around the corner.
Los Cristianos in general is a more relaxed environment than its near neighbour Playa de Las Americas. The harbour area with its ferries, fishing fleet, tourist & pleasure craft forms a pleasant backdrop to the gently shelving beach with its golden sand which is ideal for families.
The town centre is 10-15 minutes walk away, or five minutes by taxi. There you will find the superb beaches, Sunday Market, wide variety of shops and the harbour with its busy comings and goings. There is a working fishing fleet, ferries to other Canary Islands and numerous boat trips on offer - to see the whales and dolphins, for fishing, or just cruises along the picturesque coast.
The unspoilt and picturesque Island of Gomera is just 75 minutes away by ferry and well worth a visit.
The shopping in and around the town centre is excellent, ranging from tourist souvenir shops right through to perfume, leather goods & quality clothing shops.
There is an excellent café-culture around the town & especially the beach-front area. There are a great many restaurants offering dining experiences from all around the world. The bars range from bright & lively, with live music or karaoke, to quiet and relaxed & there are many authentically local bars & cafes, frequented by the Spanish & Canarian residents.

*The nearest airport is Tenerife South (Reina Sofia). Daily flights operate from many British Airports, including by budget carriers such as Jet2, Thomsonfly and Monarch.
*The apartment is a 15 to 20 minute drive from the airport and a taxi should cost 20 to 25 euros.
*Car hire is available in the terminal if required. I would recommend pre booking via the internet. Try Autoreisen or Orcar for good rates.
*A number of airport transfer companies, such as resort hoppa, offer transfers from around £6 per person one way.
*For the budget traveller there is also a bus service from the airport to Los Cristianos bus-station, which is a short taxi ride from the studio. Go to www.titsa.com for more details.

“For the price, it was OK, but complex not very friendly. Pls read whole review!” Booked very late for a 2 week stay. No problems with the owners, easy to book and deal with so no problems there. The apartment itself was nice, no air conditioning but ceiling fans did the job OK. Balcony is in the shade most of the day which is good for the little ones. 2 pools on the complex both clean with 1 lifeguard (excellent local man) servicing both. Unfortunately it has a bit of a cockroach problem which sprays and powder where provided for. Anyone who has stayed in Tenerife more than once will know that this particular problem is a case of pot-luck though! The resort, which is The Royal Palm, is the biggest let down. This is an owners resort, with a certain amount of them I guess renting out their apartments privately. My only hope is that some of the owners read this part of the review as unless you are an owner you are made to feel very unwelcome, from being totally ignored, frowned upon if you place your sunbed in there 'regular' spots, right through to parents of the other children actively discouraging their children to play with my little 5 yr old. This is no exageration, it all happened. This review will probably not help those owners trying to rent out their apartments on this complex, but unfortunately this is something you should take up with the complex management, as you are the ones shooting yourselves in the foot. Upon this basis, I would not recommend this complex to anyone travelling as a family. Response: I'm glad that I and the studio met your needs and am so sorry that some people on the complex made you feel unwelcome. I will highlight your review to the committee of the Community of owners to try and address this. I do hope these people didn't spoil your stay.

“Already booked in for 6 more stays, what more can I say !” Lovely apartment set in a quiet area well away from the rowdies, but reasonably close to a nice selection of bars and restaurants with a good cosmopolitan mix.

I just wanted to thank you for letting me rent your studio for winter 2006. It is a lovely studio in an excellent location. I hope to be back soon! Alan from Southport.

Hi Justine

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the week in your apartment in Royal Palm. You have a lovely apartment with everything provided that we needed and we will definitely recommend you to any family or friends that are looking for self-catering in Tenerife.

We didn't find the steps a problem - in fact they probably helped to cancel out a few of the extra calories we had!! and the weather was gorgeous!
