Alexandre Hotel La Siesta — Hotel in Arona

Good Stay at Alexandre La Siesta, But Not for Us 🏨☀️

We stayed at Alexandre La Siesta in Tenerife for 4 nights in April on a Half Board basis as part of our Marella Cruise & Stay package. After disembarking the Marella Explorer, we took a 45-minute transfer from Santa Cruz to Playa de las Américas.

🏨 Hotel Overview

This 4-star hotel has 280 rooms, a main buffet restaurant, a pool bar, and an evening entertainment bar. It’s well-located in a pedestrianised area, just a 2-minute walk from the beach.

🛏️ Our Room (345, Third Floor)

✔️ Spacious with a large double bed & built-in USB sockets ✔️ Plenty of storage (wardrobe, drawers) ✔️ TV, fridge, safe, sofa & dressing table ✔️ Balcony (overlooked the car park but had great mountain views 🏔️) ✔️ Large bathroom with a proper bath (rare these days!) ✔️ Hairdryer & toiletries included

Overall, a comfortable and well-equipped room!

🏊 Pools & Grounds

The hotel is built around a large communal area with 3 pools: ✅ Toddler pool 👶 ✅ Heated pool for general swimming 🌊 ✅ Larger pool for activities 🎯

There were plenty of sunbeds available throughout the day, and the area was spotlessly clean. The rooftop sunbed area (adults only) offered amazing views but no bar service.

The grounds had well-maintained palm trees, cacti, and plants 🌴🌵. There were also Bali beds and jacuzzis for extra relaxation.

🍽️ Food & Drinks

The buffet restaurant serves breakfast, lunch & dinner. There was a good variety of food with options for all tastes, though the restaurant had a cafeteria-style feel.

The pool bar offered typical fast food & light lunch options. It was cashless, and everything was charged to your room. However, service was sometimes slow due to understaffing.

The main hotel bar had indoor & outdoor seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Drinks included cocktails, beers, wines, and non-alcoholic options 🍹🍺. Evening entertainment was standard – singers, jugglers & flamenco dancers.

🎾 Activities & Facilities

🏸 Sports: Tennis, Gym, Table Tennis, Pool Tables 💆 Spa: Massages & beauty treatments (extra cost) 🎯 Animation Team: Pool games, darts, archery 👶 Kids Club: Activities for younger guests

The hotel lobby had a small shop, an ATM, a luggage weighing service, and a rep area for excursion bookings.

🌍 Location & Surroundings

The hotel’s location is both a strength and a weakness.

✅ 2-minute walk to the beach 🏖️ ✅ Shops, bars & restaurants right outside 🏬 ✅ Electric scooters available nearby 🛴 (easy to use & fun!) ✅ Great connections to Los Cristianos & Costa Adeje

However, Playa de las Américas is very busy and can feel crowded compared to the quieter areas of Los Cristianos & Costa Adeje.

👍 What We Liked

✅ Spacious & well-equipped room ✅ Great pool area with plenty of sunbeds 🏖️ ✅ Perfect location for nightlife & shopping 🛍️

❌ What We Didn’t Like

❌ Very busy area – not as relaxing as other Tenerife resorts ❌ Pool bar often understaffed 🍹 ❌ Evening entertainment was hit & miss 🎤

❓ Would We Stay Again?

Probably not – but that’s down to the location, not the hotel. La Siesta is a good hotel with clean rooms, helpful staff & great facilities, but Playa de las Américas is too busy for our liking.

If you prefer a quieter holiday, you might want to consider Los Cristianos or Costa Adeje instead.

5-Star Service at La Siesta Hotel – Ramon is the Best!

We just returned from a stay at La Siesta Hotel in Tenerife, and the highlight of our trip was definitely the amazing service at the pool bar from Ramon. From the moment we met him, he turned a good holiday into a truly unforgettable one with his warmth and personality.

What made Ramon’s service outstanding: • Friendly and welcoming attitude • Great sense of humour • Top-notch, high-quality cocktails and service • Hard-working and attentive to every guest • Makes every guest feel special

A Warm Welcome and Friendly Attitude

Ramon greeted us every day with a big smile and a genuine welcome. He immediately made us feel at home at the bar, remembering our names and even our favourite drinks after just one visit. His positive energy set the tone for each evening – we could be tired from sightseeing, but his cheerful attitude always lifted our spirits.

Humour That Keeps Everyone Entertained

One of Ramon’s best qualities is his fantastic sense of humour. He had us and other guests laughing with funny stories and light-hearted jokes while we enjoyed our drinks. Even on busy nights, he never lost his friendly banter. He somehow managed to keep everyone entertained while still staying on top of orders. This made the bar feel less like a hotel lounge and more like a gathering of friends.

High-Quality Service and Delicious Drinks

The service Ramon provides is truly top-notch. Not only does he work quickly (we never waited long for our cocktails, even when the bar was full), but the quality of the drinks is excellent. He crafts delicious cocktails with care – each drink was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. If you’re unsure what to order, Ramon will happily recommend something great (and he never missed the mark with his suggestions!). His attention to detail and pride in his work really show in every glass he serves.

Hard-Working and Attentive

Ramon’s work ethic is second to none. We often saw him juggling multiple orders, cleaning up, and checking on guests all at once, always with that same smile on his face. He genuinely cares about his guests, which shows in how he regularly checked if we needed anything else and remembered small details (like offering extra napkins or asking if we enjoyed our day). Despite the rush, he remained calm and attentive, making sure everyone was taken care of. His dedication did not go unnoticed, as many guests (including us) commented on how exceptional he was.

Enhancing the Guest Experience

Thanks to Ramon, our afternoon at La Siesta Hotel were more than just a stop for a drink – they were a highlight of our holiday. He has a knack for making every guest at the bar feel special and welcome. His combination of friendliness, humour, professionalism, and hard work creates an atmosphere that greatly enhances the overall guest experience. We honestly felt like VIPs under his care.

Ramon is a true asset to La Siesta Hotel. He turned our stay from good to extraordinary with his personality and service. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We can’t wait to come back, and a big reason is to enjoy Ramon’s wonderful hospitality once more. If you find yourself at La Siesta in Tenerife, do yourself a favour and visit the bar – you’ll be in...
