Villa Blanca Tenerife - Private rooms - Terrace and BBQ, 5 minutes from the beach and airport

Lol it deffo isn’t a 5 min walk to the beach🤣 maybe we were dumb in thinking that, I think it’s 5min by car, but even then lol, I’d assume a bit more longer. It was more like a 1.5 hr walk to the beach and by bus was like 40mins. The bathroom had this like rotten smell coming from the drains. Whilst it was clean, and was great and comfortable to use. The was a foul smell from the drains. Whilst that might have only been there for our short stay of like 4nights, we bought air refresher to reduce the smell. And someway or another the smell reduced, so perhaps it was fixed. But otherwise all good.

The instructions to locate the premises are not clear enough. We had been at the apartment entrance for over an hour. After many messages and phone calls, I managed to figure it out. The security system is a nightmare. We were not the only ones to experiance this. On one accasion, I let people in because they couldn't get in. Also. I paid an extra amount to stay until 2:00 pm. We went out for breakfast, came back at 1:30 pm to collect the bags, to find the code had already been changed. It took a long, agonising, time to get through to the cleaner to let me in. Also, also. If the apartment is only 5 minutes from the beach, then I'm a Monkey's Uncle! 15 in a car maybe. But around 1.25 hours walking!

The photos of the apartment did not fully correspond to reality: there was no jacuzzi and the apartment was darker and not as fresh as in the photos. the beds were not very comfortable to sleep on. there wasn't enough toilet paper and it ran out. In reality, the beach was further away, there is not much to see in the village itself.
