The Island Village Club Resort

San Eugenio, Playa de las Américas

RESORT:  The Island Village Club Resort is located in San Eugenio in Playa de las Américas in the south of Tenerife.  The Resort is minutes away from many restaurants and bars and within 10 to 15 minutes slow, easy walking distance to the Puerto Colon yacht marina and beach where you'll find new shopping centres, bars and restaurants.  Island Village is opposite the world famous "AquaPark Water Park and Dolphinarium".  You'll love it there!  On-site at Island Village there is also a variety of restaurants and bars; a large, fully-stocked supermarket which bakes its own hot fresh bread (great for breakfast); 24 hour Reception and security and a fun children's play area.  The Resort is in a quiet residential area.

FRIDAY OR TUESDAY HOLIDAY START & CHANGEOVER DAYS:  Island Village, like most Villas and Apartments in Tenerife, has Friday as its main holiday start/changeover day which fits in with many British flights but there are a few that start on a Tuesday for 1 Bedroom Apartments.  This means that you can only book your holiday for these Apartments to start on a Friday or on a Tuesday for 1 Bedroom Apartments but you can arrive and depart whenever you like within the period you have booked.

VILLAS:  All Apartments are professionally designed and decorated with high angled ceilings and archways.  Each Apartment at Island Village is fully equipped and includes such luxury items as marble bathrooms and a fabulous Jacuzzi and skylight.  There are large lounge areas with Satellite TV systems.  You'll also find indoor terrariums in the 1 and 2 Bedroom Apartments.  The Apartment interiors are well furnished and kept in good condition by the maid service on most days of the week.  The accommodation is always very smart and clean.  Each Apartment is well maintained and taken out of circulation for 1 week every year while maintenance takes place (for painting, furniture or kitchen items replacement, etc).

SPACIOUS:  All 1 and 2 Bedroom Apartments have  S - - P - - A - - C - - I - - O - - U - - S  accommodation with large lounge areas which can be seen from the photographs on this page.

APARTMENT COLOUR SCHEMES AND FURNITURE STYLES AND COLOUR VARIATIONS:  Due to ongoing annual maintenance and modernising, colour schemes and furniture styles and colours sometimes vary in some Apartments from what you see in any photographs on this webpage.  The photographs on this webpage are actual photos of Apartments at Island Village but the colour schemes and furniture styles and colours may be different with time.  Examples of changes include:  1) new safety regulations have forced the changing of the glass dining table to a quality, Spanish style wooden table and matching chairs which makes good sense;  2) indoor lounge furniture is now covered by a new green material;  3) bathrooms now have a larger mirror with additional lighting along the top (better for your moisturising ceremony after a hard day's work improving your suntan);  4) bedspreads continually change and are now a slightly different colour.  There is also an on-going program of kitchen units and facilities updating which is either complete or near completion for most of Island Village - new kitchens may look slightly different to the pictures on this webpage but should be similar.

LOUNGE AREAS:  Large spacious lounge/dining rooms have Satellite TV systems for viewing movies, sports, news, etc.  They have indoor terrariums which add to the soothing nature of the Apartments.  The lounge is the heart of the Apartment and has a sofa-bed, cupboards, a chaise-longue, elegant furnishings and a dining table & chairs in the 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments (2 Bedroom Deluxe Apartments have their own separate dining area).  Adjoining the lounge is the kitchen in an open plan design.  Also adjoining the lounge is a relaxing terrarium, the bedroom(s), and most importantly, exits to the garden or balcony areas where you'll find many hours of relaxation, fun and enjoyment.  Some Apartments have an additional toilet and washroom off the lounge area.  Here are some photos for you:

KITCHENS:  Each Apartment has a modern, fully fitted and fully equipped deluxe kitchen with an adjoining, external drying room for drying towels or swimming costumes, etc.  They're equipped with everything you'll need in a kitchen on holiday.  Full size ovens with hobs and exhaust hoods, microwave ovens, refrigerator, kettles, toasters, full sets of crockery, plates and bowls, tea-cups, saucers and coffee mugs, drinking glasses, etc, etc.   It's all there for your use when you're not visiting some of the wonderful, inexpensive (we don't like to say "cheap") restaurants and bars located nearby.  Here's a photo to give you an idea of how comfortable the Apartments are:

BEDROOMS:  Island Village has 1 Bedroom Apartments which sleep 4 people and 2 Bedroom Apartments which sleep 6 people.  All Apartments are maintained each year to a very high standard.  You'll love staying there!!!  Cots and high chairs are available free for infants and young children.

BATHROOMS:  Each 1 and 2 Bedroom Apartment at Island Village includes a wonderful luxury bathroom (possibly our favourite relaxation room) which has twin marble sinks, a toilet, a bidet and beautiful marble tiles.  All this is enhanced by an exotic Jacuzzi and an overhead skylight.  2 Bedroom Deluxe Apartments usually have a 2nd bathroom with a small bath or shower.

JACUZZIS:  Each 1 and 2 Bedroom Apartment at Island Village includes an exotic, relaxing Jacuzzi with overhead skylight.  Combine this with some soft music, a candle or two, a bottle (or two) of Cava (all not provided with Apartment rental) and some tappas and you'll think you're in heaven!  This is what holiday dreams are made of!  We look forward to this for our own holiday every year.  Please note that for health and safety reasons and for your personal comfort, Jacuzzis now have a safety stainless steel bracket for holding onto when you get in and out of the Jacuzzi, the surface of which can sometimes be a bit slippery with soap, etc.

PATIOS, BALCONIES & GARDENS:  The Apartment lounge areas lead out to either a tiled patio or a balcony.  Many ground floor patios have a small garden but some do not.  Balconies and patios are ideal for sunbathing or cocktail parties with your family or new found friends.  All gardens are very well-kept by expert gardeners.  You'll find the patio areas kitted out with a table, some chairs and a few sunloungers.  Sun umbrellas are available from Reception.  Put on some music that you bring with you, pour out the Sangria and cocktails from Mercadona, serve up the Tappas and you've got the makings of a great party every night!  Ole!!!  Fiesta time!!!  Why not introduce yourself to your neighbours and invite them in for a drink & some Tappas - it's a great way of making new friends - especially if you've got a couple of £3 (Sterling) bottles of real Scotch whisky or whatever you like to drink from the local Mercadona supermarket.  Here's a sample exterior view of one Apartment at Island Village:

SATELLITE TV RECEPTION:  On a visit to Island Village, as well as receiving any local Canarian terrestrial television channels, the following Satellite channels were recently on view but channel choice varies each year depending upon Satellite position and reception:

MAID SERVICE:  All Apartments and Studios include a daily maid service on most days.  NO CLEANING & NO BED MAKING . . . ahhhhh . . . . HEAVEN ! ! !

SWIMMING POOLS: Island Village is built in small phases, each with its own swimming pool and sunbathing areas.   There are 9 swimming pools on the resort for everyone to use.  Some of the pools have bars or restaurants attached, helping to make your holiday a very relaxing one.  There's even a waterfall bar near the top of Island Village with cascading swimming pools above it!  There are five 2 Bedroom Deluxe Apartments which have their own private pools.  The main resort pool (near Reception and THE CARVERY Restaurant) is "heated" in winter.  In reality, this means that the water is warmish with "the chill" having been taken out of it.  We were very pleasantly surprised on one of our visit's last days (we always try to do something nice on our last day) when we took a relaxing cruise out to see the whales and dolphins and went swimming in the sea off the catamaran.  The water was really quite warm and it was in December!  Try it!  You might be converted like us.  There is also a very large pool in the Island Village Heights section of Island Village.  It's not heated as such but the views of the coast are really quite breathtaking.  It's well worth a visit (take the elevator) and it's usually not crowded, if you like a bit of privacy.  Have a refreshing drink or some tapas from the Restaurant Bar there and enjoy the views.

POOL TOWEL SERVICE:  You'll probably have enough luggage to carry with you to and from Tenerife, so pool towels are available from Reception for a small, refundable fee.  Once you pay the fee, you can return the towels to Reception and change them as many times as you like during your visit.  When finished with the pool towels, simply return them to Reception for a refund of your money.  Enjoy your swimming and sun-bathing around the many pools at Island Village.

BATHROOM TOWELS AND BED LINEN:  A selection of bathroom towels and hand towels are provided for your convenience in your Apartment.  These are changed twice per week during your stay.

IRON & IRONING BOARD:  There should be an iron and an ironing board in all Apartments.  If either is missing on your arrival, simply contact Reception which should be able to locate one for you.

SAFES:  Safes are available for hire in each Apartment for a small fee.  Please ask Reception for details.

MAINTENANCE:  All Apartments are maintained each year to a very high standard, with Apartments usually being taken out of service for 1 week while they are painted, redecorated or refurbished, dependant on what maintenance is required.

CHILDREN:  The resort is very friendly and children are made very welcome.  Cots and high chairs are available free for infants and young children.  Children's facilities include a special safe Adventure Playground area for kids.

SECURITY:  It is very safe at Island Village which has its own private security guards unobtrusively patrolling the resort.  Each main swimming pool has a lifeguard for your safety and protection.

PREVIOUS GUEST TESTIMONIALS:  Some of our guests at Island Village have written to us and told us what a relaxing and enjoyable time they had at this resort.  Here are a few of many of their comments:

"Chris,

Sorry.  I had been meaning to write you, but I was rather busy this week as I had finals.  We had a great time, although it went by way too fast!  Everyone at Island Village was helpful and kind.  We had no problems with the room, so no problems to report to reception.

We had a great time.  We rented a car through Island Village and were very pleased with it.  Everything was in walking distance or easy to get to by car, so we had no problems going where we wanted.  We went off without the information packet you sent us, but remembered quite a bit of it.  It was helpful.

Thank you for everything.  We had a wonderful holiday and will be sure to contact you if we ever get the chance to go back!

Thanks.
