So I was apprehensive when I arrived at this hotel because of the bad reviews but the moment I arrived at 8pm 20th March I was greeted by the receptionist all my worries were gone, a lovely gentleman on reception who made as feel so welcome he told us that the supermarkets would be closing if we needed anything before morning and gave us advice or where we could eat at this time close by really went over and above. Everytime we went to reception we were greeted so warmly and friendly. We went to our apartment wasn't expecting much and we found we had a ground floor apartment at the back of the pool, H104 (I think) it was one of six in a block three ground floor three upstairs, we had a garden with sunbeds and a table, we were by the walkway so thought this might be an issue but it wasn't. We booked a room but got a 1 bed apartment, it was clean but really needs a refurbishment, I didn't use the restaurant but used the pool bar again staff fabulous food good and reasonably priced. The pool area surprised me most as it looks really small in the pictures but it was more spacious than I thought, I was told the hotel was full and there were always sunbeds to use. One of the reviews said the lifeguard was rude, honestly talk to him he is lovely, he just likes to help but when he shouts over to you as you are moving a bed he is not telling you off he wants to help you move it, and small floats and ball games were allowed. I am coming back to Parasio as the location is fab it is the road between Troya Beach and Siam Park, a walk down the hill less than 5 minutes gets you to the beach and restaurants Las Americas left and Costa Adeje and others to the right. Walk up the hill a bit steeper and cross the motorway bridge and you are at Siam Mall/Park 10 mins, bus station on the way to the left. One more thing about this hotel before I give you the pros and cons, the housekeeping staff are so helpful, seriously want to come everyday to help, and I saw workman there everyday, so the hotel is trying to update Pros - Staff, Location, Pool Bar, local shop keepers really helpful, three supermarkets 2 mins each way of hotel, pharmacy opposite and car hire and excursion bookings, Cons needs updating - thats it you cant complain of no aircon when they tell you there is no aircon but we didn't need it as two patio doors you can open with a chain to let the air in. Only issue for this room was it was opposite the pool pump room which you could hear in the lounge but not in the bedroom, its like a loud fridge which we thought it was for a couple of days.
