Columbus Aparthotel
Spain, Europe
Playa de Las Americas
The bustling, vibrant Playa de las Americas is one of Tenerife's most popular resorts. It's got the sun and the sand, all the sights to see and views to snap, all the shops by day and entertainment by night. No wonder that people are drawn here – and to hotels like the Columbus Aparthotel. Like Playa de las Americas, the Columbus Aparthotel has got it all. All the amenities, all the facilities, and all the high standards you'd expect of one of the region's most popular hotels.
Columbus Aparthotel is beach adjacent, and choc-full of amenities:
When you're a mere 800 metres from the beach, you know you're going to be spending a lot of time there. And that's just one of the perks of staying at the Columbus Aparthotel. Another is your close proximity to the heart of Playa de las Americas, and all that it has to offer including shops, bars and restaurants, and of course, the nightlife (Plays de las Americas is famous for it). But the Columbus Aparthotel is much more than a base for dipping in and out of the action. There's more than enough to keep you entertained…
One of the biggest features of the Columbus Aparthotel is undoubtedly the superb arrangement of swimming pools. Divided into distinct sections, the pool 'complex' is a beautiful design feature as well as a great place to spend a few hours… maybe even a long afternoon, drifting into evening.
That's another wonderful thing about the Columbus Aparthotel – the very laidback attitude to life. Outside in Playa de las Americas, it's all hustle and bustle, but here in the grounds of the Columbus, it's all long afternoons by the pool and long cool drinks. And talking of relaxing. Do check out the sauna and Jacuzzis. There's still plenty more to the Columbus Aparthotel: a handy on-site mini market, laundry facility and games room for example. The Columbus Aparthotel also benefits from generously sized rooms – and larger rooms (with lounges) are available if you wish. Satellite TV is also available for a small fee.
Choose the Columbus Aparthotel and you'll enjoy all the excitement of Plays de las Americas and the laidback vibe of the Columbus Aparthotel. It's the perfect combination.

Great
Great for the money ! Staff were lovely and very helpful, busy atmosphere, most coming down in the mornings to put their towels out as you expect most places but there are plenty of beds even up on the terraces if you cant find space next to the pool. We werent all inclusive and haven't tried the food so cannot judge on that. Drinks were pricier than drinking out if you are self-catering but it's a hotel so what you expect. Outside hotel is noisy as it is on a main road. Lots of car horns and shouting and coaches however no internal disruptions. Still managed to get good nights sleep on comfy beds. On a whole the rooms were fairly clean. I could point out a few issues like a couple stains on the balcony table, the shower would often leak and I think the water wouldnt drain in the shower really well so we did have a small bathroom flood. Despite knowing they mop the floors daily the floors do still feel a bit dirty (unsure why), just worth wearing socks or bringing slippers. Nothing to complain about for the money. Theres a pull out rack on the balcony very handy for towels and swim wear. Great amount of amenities in the room (kettle, hairdryer, safe). Location can't be much better, everything is walking distance. 10-15 minutes to veronicas, 10-15 minutes to the golden mile, 25 minutes to los cristianos beach, and about the same to costa adeje. If you aren't keen on walking, there is a taxi rank just a minute or 2 walk from the hotel which I have never seen empty. Overall great hotel with a great atmosphere.

Another great stay
This is my second stay at thia hotel this year, and once again I was happy with my experience. As a returning customer, I really appreciate the sea view room - a lovely touch from the hotel and a nice recognition of my loyalty. There wasn't too much for me to complain about. The only things I have noticed this time were that the A/C was working, but didn't see to cool the room quite enough (although that could simply be my personal preference). I also experience the same issue with the bathroom light as during my previous stay. As it is senson - operated, the light switches off while you're still in the shower, which can be little inconvenient. Additionally in my room 587, the headrest light wasn't working. Aside from these small points, everything else was great. The staff, as always, are doing a brilliant job throughout the hotel - friendly, helpful and professional. I'm definitely planning to cone back again in the future. Thank you for another enjoyable stay!

AVOID THIS HOTEL – AWFUL EXPERIENCE AT KN COLUMBUS
⭐ 1/5
I would strongly urge people to think twice before booking the KN Columbus Hotel. Our experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish, and this is definitely not a hotel I would ever return to or recommend.
Cockroaches in our room 🤢
On arrival, we found multiple cockroaches in our first room (357). This was completely unacceptable and extremely upsetting. When we reported this to staff, we were met with a very rude attitude and were initially refused a room move. We had to ask to speak to a manager before anything was done.
We were then moved to room 262, which was old, battered and not what we had booked or expected. It also did not face the pool as we had originally booked.
What made the situation even worse was that I was forced to sign a form saying I was “happy” with the room swap, despite the fact that I was not happy with the situation at all. I felt pressured into signing something I did not agree with.
Formal complaint completely ignored
I sent a formal complaint to the hotel’s email address explaining everything that had happened. Despite this, I received absolutely no response throughout the entire week we were there. No apology, no explanation and no attempt to resolve the situation.
Food was disappointing
The food was another major letdown. We found food to be undercooked and there was hardly any choice available. For an all-inclusive holiday, we expected much better standards and more variety.
You also have to pay for cups for your all-inclusive drinks, which is ridiculous. Surely cups should be provided as part of an all-inclusive package?
Sunbed wars and rude people
The sunbed situation was honestly unbelievable. There were actual arguments and fights over sunbeds, and it was extremely stressful trying to get a place around the pool.
When we needed 4 sunbeds together, we were told we were being ‘rude’ and that because ‘we are young, we think we can get away with being greedy’! This was extremely insulting and completely unnecessary. We were paying customers who simply wanted to enjoy our holiday.
Overall
This hotel completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable holiday. From cockroaches in our room, rude staff, being pressured to sign a form, poor food, extra charges for cups and the ridiculous sunbed situation, there were problems throughout our stay.
The way our complaint was handled was particularly disappointing. We expected basic customer service, cleanliness and respect, but unfortunately we did not receive that.
My advice: Save your money and book somewhere else. There are much better hotels out there where you can enjoy your holiday without having to deal with this level of stress and disappointment.
KN Columbus Hotel, you need to seriously look at your standards and how your guests are treated. This was not the holiday experience we paid for.
i know there are always bad reviews on hotels but please take this one in to consideration because we wish we had listened to some of the reviews!
