Vigilia Park

Good value for money apartments clean large decent furnishing ,bit noisy but above shops and restaurants.but rooftop pool a bar area very good,only critic is a very small television for size of apartment .could of been problem for longer stays

So I wasn't expecting much after reading the reviews and noting it was rated 2* but I was pleasantly surprised. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with everything needed for a short stay. There was a double bed and a pull out sofabed in the lounge. There were only 2 of us but as there was no TV in the bedroom we took full advantage of the sofa bed to watch TV. We could log into netflix with our credentials and watch out favourite TV shows if we had an early night. The reception is at the end of a shopping arcade, and as we arrived early they let us store our luggage in the luggage room, whilst we went off for something to eat. We always eat out but had we decided to self-cater there is a Lidl literally 5 minutes walk away. The staff were very friendly and helpful and reception is open 24 hours. There are two pools, one downstairs and one on the rooftop. Happy hour is 3 until 4 daily and the views from the rooftop terrace are stunning. The perfect place to get a tan whilst sipping cocktails. There is a hot tub up there too and mini golf. Outside the hotel there is a taxi rank that can take you into Los Gigantes, Puerto del santiago or Playa de la Arena if you fancy a change of scenery. Although if you're up to it you can walk to Los G in 12 minutes and Puerto de Santiago in 10 minutes down one of the two steep hills to the right of the hotel. Playa de la Arena is a little further down a less steep hill to the left of the hotel. There is a bus stop opposite where you can get buses to Masca, or Playa de last Americas in the opposite direction. For the most lively entertainment I would recommend Los Gigantes as the others have less going on. You can have the buffet breakfast at the hotel but we walked down into Puerto de Santiago where you can get a lovely breakfast at the sports bar down there for £7.50 which was cheaper than the buffet breakfast. There is no daily cleaning (although I believe you can pay for one) but they do come in with a change of towels mid week. This suited us as we like an undisturbed lie in on holiday. The only thing I would say is that there is no air con, only ceiling fans, but for us that wasn't a problem as we went in March when it was comfortable. I can imagine that would be a bit of a problem in the height of summer as it becomes oppressively hot. I would definitely return here as the location is perfect for enjoying the area to the full.

Just spent a lovely 2 weeks here and I cannot fault the accommodation at all. Room was spacious, clean and had everything needed. The top pool is cold- bottom one a little warmer! The only fault for me personally was how deep both pools are- I'm 5"1 and couldn't reach the pool floor! However, enjoyed my holiday! The staff are fabulous- really couldnt do enough for us and very friendly! Location is good- everything around that you need and the shops downstairs very handy for bits and pieces- (make sure you haggle and try to spend your money in the shops where the staff are nice to you and give you some space to shop- there's one that's pushy and I had to walk out one day without spending my money). Overall really impressed with Vigilia park apartments and we would definately return! Last point- it's Very loud at night- kids running round and lots of noise from downstairs- I just turned the volume up on my sleep music so it didn't affect me massively! Thank you to everybody at Vigilia that made our holiday special!
