Me, my wife and 1½ year old daughter went to Dream Place Noelia Sur this September (2009) - unfortunately. I was attending a conference in the North (Puerto de las Cruz) whereafter friends suggested to visit the South of Tenerife due to the high number of sun hours.
We booked the hotel well in advance, a suite, since my daughter requires a baby cot and we have a relatively large pram. When we arrived we got a room on the second floor overlooking the pool. The size of the room was ok - BUT, the balcony door was not possible to shut, the bathroom does not have any ventilation (and the windows are not possible to open) - this resulted in a very mulded smell in the entire room. Furthermore, since the balcony door could not shut, the live entertainment at the pool was so noisy that we couldn't get our daughter to sleep before 11PM when the music (which by the way was extremely poor) stopped.
The following day I asked at the reception whether we could change room, unfortunately, we could only get a room to the neighbouring hotel (which is for youngsters) - so here they played music and yelled all night long - but okay, I asked for it. BUT, again the moulded smell continued, the doors were again not able to shut and the air-condition sounded like a boeing 747 about to take off. During our stay, 3 workers repaired the door, which ment that it broke even more.
The pool area was extremely cramped (and we were out of season, so I can imagine the stumble in high season) - where people lined up to place their towels on the sunbeds!?!?!? The childrens pool was greasy (and not cleaned during our weekly stay) and extremely tiny. There is a very long walk to the beach - do not trust the length from the website it takes at least 15 minutes to reach the actual beach (where you can get to the sea).
Finally, we ordered half-board - which basically was okay. There was a lot to choose from, however, the restaurant was in a very bad state. The second evening we saw a dead cockroach on the floor - which the following morning was eaten by flies. The evening the cockroach was still in the same spot with more flies. You can ask yourself, in what state is the food? We at least never ate at the restaurant again!
So for your own sake, please do not book this hotel - Playa de las Americas has so many hotels to choose from. For families with children I would strongly recommend to stay in Los Christianos instead.
