Los Cristianos
Classical architecture meets Hollywood grandeur at this complex, located just 12.3 km from Tenerife South Airport. The different blocks, where you'll find our spacious and luxurious apartments, are named after famous Hollywood celebrities. The hotel offers everything needed for a relaxed and stress free holiday, for couples and families alike. Situated in the heart of the Urbanización Oasis del Sur, the suites at the hotel boast some spectacular views over the bay of Los Cristianos, with the island of La Gomera on the horizon. Located only 1km from the town centre of Los Cristianos, this resort is perfectly situated with excellent connections to all the main touristic attractions of the island. A favourite to stay and visit again

Good facilities with poor staff (A lot of hills)
My partner and I spent a week at this hotel and overall had an enjoyable stay. The room itself was very clean, and I couldn't fault the facilities. The complex has three pools available — the main pool is lively, with daily activities perfect for younger kids, plus a bar right beside it, while the other two pools are quieter and better suited for adults looking to relax.
Breakfast: I'd highly recommend adding the buffet breakfast to your stay — it's excellent value for money. There was a huge spread of food, including fresh rolls, a range of meats, fresh fruit, and hot breakfast options. Honestly, there was something for everyone.
Staff: Unfortunately, the staff in general were unfriendly and unwilling to help. Some of the reception staff were short and blunt when we asked about using the safe to store our valuables. The bar staff were similarly unhelpful — when we asked what cocktails were available, the bartender simply pointed at a QR code and gestured for us to look it up ourselves, without saying a word.
Location: Aside from the staff, my only other complaint is the hotel's location. There are a lot of hills between the hotel and the beach/strip where the restaurants and shops are located. There is a shuttle bus, but it only runs a couple of times a day. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for older guests or anyone with limited mobility, as the hills are tiring to climb, especially in the heat.
Early check-in and luggage storage: Our flight arrived early, so we got to the hotel around 11am for check-in. We understood the room wouldn't be ready yet, and the staff made that clear (if a little unenthusiastically). However, rather than storing our bags as a courtesy — which most hotels do — they directed us to a locker room in a separate building, where we had to pay €2 to use a small locker. To make matters worse, if we opened the locker to grab something for the pool later in the day, we had to pay another €2 to use it again. This felt like an unnecessary inconvenience for something hotels typically offer for free.

Great hotel for families 😊
Just back from a week stay in the Hollywood mirage. We were a bit apprehensive reading some of the negative reviews but honestly we could not fault the hotel. Yes the location isn't the most ideal but the shuttle bus runs every hour and taxis are quite reasonable. Our apartment was lovely. The hotel is very well kept. We had breakfast included. Yes it can get busy but the food was absolutely fine. Plenty to choose from and variation for kids. We found the entertainment great at pool 1. We really enjoyed the foam party and gladiator family fight 😅. Very handy having the supermarket on site. Overall we had a great time and would definately return!

Leisure holiday
Alex and Nadia are both amazing! Very welcoming, really friendly and so much fun!!!
Fantastic Base for a Family Holiday
If you’re looking for a good family hotel, this is definitely worth considering.
The pool area is clean, spacious, and there’s plenty of room to swim. It was also surprisingly easy to find a sunbed, although if you’re planning to spend the whole day by the pool, it’s worth getting there when it opens to guarantee yourself a bed and a parasol.
The kids’ entertainment is excellent. The animation team run activities every couple of hours, and they’re genuinely good fun. They’re entertaining for the adults too, especially as you’re often encouraged to join in. I somehow ended up dressed as a mermaid for one of the challenges!
If you don’t mind the socks-and-sandals brigade, you’ll fit right in.
The staff were all very friendly. I always try to speak Spanish when I’m abroad, but around 90% of the staff spoke excellent English.
The rooms were probably the weakest part of the stay. They’re clean and have everything you need for a self-catering holiday, but they’re definitely looking tired. Our bathroom taps were loose on the wall, and the TV in the apartment didn’t work (not that we were planning on watching it). We also had a couple of uninvited insect visitors, but in a hot country that’s to be expected and certainly wasn’t a deal-breaker.
There’s a supermarket on site which stocks pretty much everything you need for breakfasts, lunches, or evening meals if you’re self-catering.
Breakfast offered a great selection, but the quality was fairly average. If you’re a coffee lover, I’d avoid the machines unless you enjoy warm milk with a hint of coffee.
If you’re heading out in the evenings, Los Cristianos is pleasant enough but feels a little dated and has a traditional “kiss me quick” seaside resort atmosphere. If you’re after a livelier night out with plenty of bars, restaurants and a real buzz, Las Américas is the better choice.
You can easily walk downhill into Los Cristianos, but I’d strongly recommend getting a taxi back. It’s nicknamed “Cardiac Hill” for a reason, and the €5 taxi fare is money well spent.
If you are confident driver. I’d suggest renting a car, that way you can see the sights that Tenerife has to offer. It’s way cheaper than tours and transfers to the airport.
Overall, we had a great stay. It’s in a good location, makes an excellent base for exploring the area, and is a fantastic choice for families. We’d happily recommend it.

2 star hotel at best
Rooms very outdated fold out couch was filthy the bedding was dirty. The bath and sinks had lines of dirt. Doors wouldn't close properly upstairs. Our kids were having a sleep late one morning when a man and child entered our room as the hotel somehow gave them keys. Poolside food served me raw chicken burger lucky I cut it in have before eating it. This is rated a 4 star it should be 2.
