We went to Tenerife to celebrate our 27th wedding aniversary, and had an excellent experience 4 days at BeLive Orotava.
On the very positive side was the kind and caring attitude of the staffs, as well as the wide and varying choices of food in the restaurant (half pension) - we went and checked out 4 hotels near the beachfront, and found this to have the best buffet.
The hotel has an excellent and quiet location. We rented a parking spot in the basement of the hotel, as it is practically impossible to get parking in the streets near the hotel.
The hotel doesn't have a swimming pool, however the public one at the beachfront is world class (costs 4.5 euro per day).
All the rooms have very nice balcony's, but no direct sea-view on either side of the hotel. We stayed on the 10th floor, and had an excellent view to the volcano.
The standard and cleanlyness of the room was very good, the cost taken into consideration. I travel professionally 150 days/year.
All in all we can clearly recommend this hotel.
