We recently returned from a wonderful week-long half board stay at Hotel Siroco in Costa Teguise. We stayed in the Serenity Area, marketed as the calm and relaxed part of the hotel with premium apartments. Our first-floor apartment was spotlessly clean, well-furnished, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The living area with a kitchenette opened out to a balcony overlooking the pool, a view shared by all Serenity apartments (though some offer slightly better views depending on the angle). The apartment itself was well designed. The bathroom featured a beautiful shower with a constant supply of hot water, while the bedroom was spacious, with a comfortable bed, ample wardrobe space, and plenty of shelving. It was also nice to see plenty of plug sockets, which is often overlooked. The kitchen was stocked with useful amenities, including a kettle, toaster, electric coffee maker, two-ring hob and a fridge. While we didn’t use the hob, the kitchen was perfect for making tea, coffee, and occasionally some toast at lunchtime. A minor note: there’s no air conditioning, which could be an issue during hotter months, though we found the October night air to be comfortable. Fans are available for rent if needed. For secure storage, safes are available in the apartments for a fee of €15 per week, with a refundable deposit of €20. One of the standout features of Hotel Siroco was its impressive cleanliness and upkeep. The hotel staff were constantly maintaining the property, from painting to gardening to thorough cleaning. However, all of this was done so unobtrusively that it didn’t interfere with our holiday at all. It was refreshing to see a hotel so committed to maintaining its appearance. The Serenity Area’s pool is beautifully maintained, with ample space, greenery, and an inviting atmosphere. Sunbeds are chained overnight, but there were always plenty available once the pool opened from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., which made for a relaxed experience without the early “dash for sunbeds.” We noticed that guests on the other area of the hotel would start claiming sunbeds around 9:50 a.m., standing by until the sunbeds were unchained. It’s possible that securing a sunbed could be more challenging on that side, but thankfully, this wasn’t an issue in the Serenity Area. As for the pool itself – yes, it was a bit cold on entry, but once you took the plunge, it was refreshing and perfect for cooling off from the sun. In fact, the cool water was quite invigorating! Both breakfast and dinner at Hotel Siroco were excellent. Breakfast offered everything from cereals, fruits and yogurts to pastries and a full fry-up. For dinner, the buffet had a wonderful selection each night, including salads, soups, and a variety of mains, with tempting desserts to finish. The variety and quality made it all too easy to overindulge! Although the hotel offered some evening entertainment, we preferred to explore the nearby resort centre each evening. The hotel
