It was fine. The room was a bit tired and would have been nice to have a couple of English TV channels but it was fine.

Everything was ok. Swimming pool pretty cool. The only things I didn't like: you have to pay for using WIFI inside the room and for using the safety deposit box.

I came her by myself for a 6 day solo trip. After reading other reviews I was expecting loads of teenage groups and loud music all night long, but it honestly wasn’t that bad in my opinion. There were a lot of teenagers but I didn’t find them too annoying but I‘m also still young so that might be why they didn’t bother me. There was also some music at night but nothing you couldn’t ignore. Really liked the small apartment, lots of space, definitely too much for only one person but if you come here with a group I suppose it should be perfect. The pool area wasn’t super big but still very cute and enjoyable, with a little bar where you could get drinks and food. Staff was generally super nice and always willing to help, especially loved the people working at the bar!! So overall a really nice experience, probably a better fit for younger people though, unless you’re not easily bothered by noises and teenagers :)

For what we paid the hotel is outstanding, the Guy on reception is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area,, he can’t do enough for you. The hotel is really relaxed about bringing your own drink etc to the pool. The pool bar is superb and very reasonable cost wise. The location is fantastic, especially if you’re on a budget, very clean and the water in the swimming pool is immensely clean and warm in the bottom pool! Those wanting to cool off chose the top pool.
We will definitely come back every year as this part of Tenerife is fantastic… thank you for a lovely stay

Friendly service & a nice big room. Location was ideal as there's a bus stop directly outside the hotel so easy access to anywhere in the area including the airport.

I got what I paid for. Wasn’t the best, but for the price was good enough for a few nights. However at night the bar under the hotel is very noisy until very late!

Friendly staff, very clean and great location with supermarkets, bars and restaurants nearby and a short walk to the golden mile. Number 40 airport bus stop right outside the hotel.

This apartment hotel was excellent. I do B&B and in my opinion the cleaning team are excellent. The desk staff were polite and helpful and available 24hrs per day. The hotel is 10 minutes easy walk the the beach and as a solo traveller I felt safe in the area. The apartment had a small kitchen area with crockery, cutlery, hob, microwave and sink. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend the place to anyone.

Basic rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Good central location with walking distance to beach, bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay again, no noisy holiday makers it was quiet, we had a studio which had everything we needed. Decor a little dated but clean and tidy. Overall we had a lovely time and hope to stay again in the near future.

Very very tired looking.
Felt like a prison camp with barbed wire surrounding the grounds. Too overlooked. Nothing like the pictures.

We had a fabulous stay after a horrendous start to our holiday( in different apartments) imight add. The staff at the Marola Portosin were very helpful they let us check-in early once we had explained our predicament with to the reception. Then let us upgrade once a one bed apartment became available and always had a smile on their faces and helped with everything. I could not complain about anything the sunbathing area and the pool bar were cheap for both drinks and snacks.
Thank you
Alison and Mark.

Really enjoyed the location as it was only a short walk to a variety of different areas. Staff are really friendly and helpful and apartment was cleaned daily. Nice atmosphere in the hotel with a good mix of guests. Only negative is that there was no air conditioning in the room just a fan which made it very hot at times.

Stayed here before and always found the accommodation good value for money. It was a bit noisy with groups of men staying this time. Will return.

The main problem that ruined are stay was no hot water and after 3 times of complaint they replaced the boiler but there still was not enough hot water for a shower . Have long hair could not even get my shampoo out before it went cold. Also leak around toilet so woke up every day with wet floor. Did not use the pool as not weather not good . Free table tennis and free giant chess which cam in handy . Good location 7 min walk to beach but on a hill. Supermarket opposite good and handy do not use pharmacy next door charge 18€ for paracetamol equivalent
Wouldn't stay here again because of the water issue

We enjoyed our stay at the Marola Portisin and any staff we encountered in the reception area and the lady at the poolside bar were very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, large and clean and looks like it does in the photos on the various websites though there were 2 single beds instead of the double we had booked but we didnt mind or complain as it wasnt a big problem as it was very hot when we were there. Also, there was no remote control for the tv but then we dont go on holiday to watch tv.There was no aircon (we didnt expect any nor was it in the description when we booked) so we hired out a fan from reception (€12.50 for 5 nights) and it really helped a lot with the heat.Cant comment on the food as we ate out all the time.The only negative is when the cleanerscome in they tend to leave the patio door open a couple of inches, possibly to air the room but I dont think this is a good idea from a security point of view.Overall we would recommend these apartments and would stay again.

Greeted at reception with friendly staff. I was impressed with the room (studio room). Very clean, big studio, great view of the pool from the large balcony.
The reception staff was always willing to help. We booked the Siam water park from reception, that way you don't have to que up when you arrive at the water park.
The pool was great with plenty of sun beds. Bar plays fun retro music happy hour 4-5pm.
The hotel is well situated, not far from anything really.
My niece & I really enjoyed our short stay here & wished we could've stayed longer.
4.0
We enjoyed our stay however the other reviews are not far fetched when they say how noisy it is. The traffic noise in the apartment is very disruptive. Short walk to the beach.

We have just returned from our second stay at Marola Portisin. It was just as clean as last year and the staff were as helpful however unfortunately the road outside is now much busier making it rather noisy at night. We also found other guests were quite inconsiderate rushing to bag sunbeds at 9.00 am only to not return until after lunch. We did not have this issue last year as guests just went down for sun beds when they were ready and there was always plenty available at any time. We also found it inconsiderate of guests who sat chatting across their balconies at 2 and even 4 in the morning. These were not young adults as are often blamed for this type of behaviour but older guests. These apartments are a nice walk to the beach, shopping centres and bars and restaurants it was just a shame that some of the guests were lacking in courtesy this year.
5.0
Reception staff very polite. Fast check in and out. Pool cleaned every day, sunbeds scrubbed and cleaned every morning. Location just a 5 min walk from main bars/restaurants. Pool bar food really good and staff cant do enough for you. Great place to stay, great place to stay and a great holiday.
