The Grand Mencey is an excellent hotel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The pool and gym are of the highest order, we did not use the spar or eat at the hotel so cannot comment. One slight annoyance was the hotel bar closed by midnight every evening we were there, that said, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

We absolutely love this city hotel - it has everything you’d expect plus from a 5 star hotel of this standard. What makes this hotel even more special is the staff. The gym, the spa and the outdoor pool really is a great use of space. 1 of the best hotel breakfasts you’ll find.

We stayed here 2 years ago for a week and enjoyed the location. We were most pleased to be assigned the room for 7 nights, which we had booked this time. For our last stay, we received an up-grade. Despite being a larger room, it looked into an interior courtyard rather than having a view. This time the room looked over the pool and beyond. The sunlight was most welcoming. The room also had a better layout this time. Strangely enough on both stays: the holder for the toilet paper was loose and hung down. It was most obvious. Doesn’t anybody check these things? The breakfast was good. It was also great to see that an egg’s menu was on each table (as QR code). Last time, we were only offered eggs à la carte on our last day, which seemed strange. The team was very friendly and helpful. This time we knew to ask for a hot water kettle for the room as once again, only a coffee maker was provided on arrival. Our reservation at the hotel restaurant Papa Negra was cancelled on us so we chose the restaurant Kon Tiki, which is also on the hotel grounds. It was a delightful meal. We splurged out on a Swedish massage in the Spa Centre. The massage was the lightest in pressure, which we have ever experienced. Rather similar to a lymphatic drainage treatment actually. Luckily we could ease the aches and pains away with the water jets in the heated pool and in the sauna afterwards.

We both really liked this place. Decent sized room, sunny balcony catching the evening sun, spacious grounds and pool area. Loved the spa, and bar area. Location next to the really excellent park Garcia Sanabria and 10 mins from the main attractions in town, but far enough not to be overwhelmed by the Carnaval (which would have been too much if we had stayed in the town). We ate in the main restaurant one night which was fantastic - great service. And the breakfast buffet was worth the money (though the eggs were a touch cold!). Negative points: air con didn’t work terribly well in the room; given it had four eating options, thought the diversity of choices was more limited than i would have expected. On the whole though very good and I would stay again.

We had a very enjoyable holiday at this excellent hotel. Our room was large and stylish. The facilities are very good. I used the spacious gym and yoga room daily and my wife thought the spa was very good. The hotel may have been excellent but the staff were even better. They couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

I chose this hotel because I wanted the family to be close to the carnival attractions and also because it’s rated the number one hotel on Tripadvisor. The Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey did not disappoint. Checking in online was a bit time-consuming but it must have saved time in reception. Unfortunately when we tried to get into our room the keys did not work but other than that there were no other issues. Once we got into our room I was really impressed as it was immaculately clean and spacious with a huge bed. Body lotion, hair conditioner are also provided in the bathroom as well as bath robes and slippers. Our room did not come with a balcony or terrace which is a shame as the weather was really great for February. We had a lovely view of the city and mountains. I decided to go half-board and would say that lunch was better than dinner. The restaurant was a little bit sterile and perhaps could have been decorated for Valentine’s Day. The food was for the most part very good quality and European and a little bland for my taste. There is an Indian restaurant across the road that we did not try. They do charge for filtered water which you can get for free from the machines in the hotel but they won’t allow you to bring it into the restaurant. Diners do not adhere to the dress requirements so do not worry too much if you don’t have the correct attire. The breakfast buffet I thought was one of the best and I consider myself well-travelled having had approximately 600 different hotel stays in mainly 4-5 star hotels. There was an unlimited supply of fresh orange juice and a smoothie choice and so many food choices. I used the swimming pool and it was not busy at all. I also paid 8euros for an aqua gym class. I wish that reception had mentioned that there were classes available as I would have done more classes. Paula the Tourism expert is extremely helpful but we did not book tours as we had a hire car. The hotel gift shop is very reasonably priced too and they were selling carnival fancy dress for just 20 euros. It was only a ten minute walk to the carnival activities but if you have been to Rio or New Orleans perhaps lower your expectations! I’ve already started recommending the hotel to families and friends and will also suggest it to work as a great conference venue. I had the pleasure of meeting Jose and Christina, two of the managers and they were really lovely. Well done on maintaining great service and standards in a stunning hotel set in beautiful grounds!

This was a mainly pleasing stay for 3 nights. A nice large room and a very comfortable bed all backed up with an excellent buffet breakfast. The large pool and gardens add to the ambience. We did struggle a bit with the on site restaurants as these were not aimed at vegetarians and other eating options close by were limited. Our main grumble came at night. Our room and balcony overlooked a quiet side street but bizarrely late at night at least two garbage trucks came and noisily collected street side rubbish.

Great hotel in the city center. You can select your preferred room when booking so stayed at a garden view with large terrasse. Nice staff at the bar and reception. The building and the garden with the pool is very nice and relaxing after hiking or shopping. We were so lucky to be in Santa Cruz during the carnival which was amazing. Absolutely recommended for a visit.

The best service I have experienced in many years -- from check-in to room service and restaurants. The Mencey offers everything -- a well-situated and beautiful location; swimming pool, sun-deck, gym, and business centre; excelllent restaurants and cafe-bars; friendly staff throughout the entire hotel.

We chose the Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey in Santa Cruz for our base in Tenerife and I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. Everything was perfect and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel or stay again in the future. The room was very comfortable with a south facing balcony so that we could see the sunset in the evening and the standard of the breakfast was superb. All of the staff were excellent but in particular I would like to single out Candela. Candela contacted us in advance of our stay, allocated us a quiet room and helped us with a number of dinner reservations. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for everything Candela you are an exemplary member of the team at the Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey. We will make a point of looking for other Iberostar hotels when making our bookings in the future. Paul C Lancashire United Kingdom
