Big accommodation inside and out and well finished in tile.
Not private outside on the terrace but the views and quality sunbeds more than make up for that
Great to have both the pool and restaurant within a few steps
Already booked again for next year

Great, spacious flat, fantastic view of the golf course and the sea, adequate facilities except for cutlery and crockery. Price/performance acceptable.
Some minor repairs should be carried out as soon as possible.
Large swimming pool directly in front of the flat door and a restaurant (Hole 19) as well.
Cleaning service first class.

We have just returned after an amazing 4 week stay in Villa 3, so much so that we have already booked for November 2024. Our thanks go to all the staff at Amarilla Golf Villas, from Carlos, the hotel manager, to the cleaning staff who do an excellent job. Special mention to all the staff at the 19th hole. I wouldn’t want to mention anyone in particular, because they are all exceptionally friendly and efficient. I would recommend these apartments to anyone. The outlook is fantastic and the area is our favourite in Tenerife.

Second stay at the Amarilla Golf Villas and the first time in Unit 3. It’s a great apartment right by the pool with plenty of room and fantastic views. Ultra modern kitchen facilities if you like to cook and a brilliant restaurant/bar if you don’t. It’s a quiet area with only a few apartments so you never have a problem with sun beds etc. Got to say the staff onsite in the restaurant are amazing so a big thank you to Angelo, Eva, Seb, Alexandro, Innis and Monica the cleaner. I’m coming back.

Another brilliant stay in Unit 3. Sometimes it isn't wise to revisit a property when you had such a good time on the first visit as it can be a bit of a disappointment. Not in this case. Everything about the holiday was as good as it was on the first occasion. The apartment, the terrace, the pool, the view, the 19th Hole and best of all the staff. Everything about it was just perfect and we will be back once again.
Thanks to everyone.

We stayed in villas 2 & 3 for Christmas 2022 and had a lovely time (5 adults, 2 children). The villas are very bright and modern with well kitted out kitchens, applicances and utensils. The bedrooms are a nice size and the beds very comfortable. The uninterupted view from the villas over the harbour and out to sea were beautiful. There are plenty of small supermarkets with an easy walk from the villas and the onsite bar serves very good food. There were a few things that weren't working quite as expected but Carlos was quick to come over and have a look at them. Whenever we used the pool no one else was in it so it almost felt like a private pool! Highly recommended.

We stayed for the second time in Unit 3 of the Amarilla Golf Villas in Tenerife and we liked it again for a 100%, the accomodation is SUPER, the view from the different terraces is breathtaking loverlooking a perfect kept golf course with the Ocean at the end.
The duplex apartment has every luxery you can image with a high standard kitchen, my wife loved to cook in it!
The owner Mr Marcus Werth is around regulary to solve every problem with a smile and a good talk and his whole staff is very friendly with Monica as head of the cleaning team and Bene as the leading lady of the restaurant "The 19th Hole". She is lucky to have such nice personal
as Angelo, Sebastian and others ... I can tell the barraquitto is excellent after a good dinner one can have overthere I even made a video of the making of a barraquitto by Seb to show our friends in Belgium!
Many thanks to all these people who made our stay overthere a real succes and we certainly be back next year in our Award winning Unit 3!
Kind regards from Ria and Stanny from Belgium (Unit 3 4th of October till 18th of October).

Our primary reason for staying at this complex, apart from the fantastic experience, is to enjoy playing golf at Amarilla Golf and Marina. We have stayed in the majority of these units over several years, testament to the high standards. Unit 3 certainly did not disappoint. The unit is well appointed with modern quality appliances in the kitchen and air conditioning, Wi-Fi and an extensive TV coverage contributed to what was a very comfortable accommodation experience.
The views over part of the golf course, the marina and sea beyond from the expansive shared terrace add to the relaxing environment.
If you factor in the fantastic social experience offered by Benne (Apologies if spelt incorrectly) Angelo and the team at the 19th Hole on-site bar and restaurant, we would award more stars if they were available. The service and the atmosphere they create is excellent. We feel as if we are treated more as friends rather than just guests. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are a fabulous asset to the enterprise. Thanks for another great holiday.

Stayed at Unit 3 for 2 weeks and it was fantastic, apartment was immaculate clean and stunning kitchen and bedrooms, great views from the balcony and couldn’t be closer to the pool.
Sunbathing patio and grass section excellent and pool was first class.
Outlook over the golf course was amazing day and night and the staff at the 19th hole were excellent.
Only downside which isn’t anything to do with the apartment or facilities but the resort itself was still very quiet and places not open, which is probably a knock on from covid lock downs.
But overall would highly recommend and would visit again.

Beautiful villa with lovely outside area just steps from the pool and from the 19th Hole restaurant and bar. Check in process very easy. Villa itself very spacious with plenty of closet space and decent sized bedrooms and comfortable beds. Just a few issues (dishwasher door did not stay open making it difficult to load and unload), could use more silverware and every day china (we did not want to use bone china), armchairs downstairs were not very comfortable. All in all we enjoyed our stay at Amarilla Golf Villa Unit 3.

Had a 2nd fab stay at Unit 3 last month which myself and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed again.
The property is very spacious with pretty much everything you will need for it to be a home from home. Great views abound. The price for our stay was very reasonable. Very convenient location with shops and restaurants nearby.
Fantastic restaurant on-site called The 19th Hole. Great food and very friendly staff (hello to Benedicta, Angelo, Juan and Sebastian!) Not forgetting housekeeper, Gregoria! Miss you guys. The staff at the restaurant also act as your go-to contacts if you need anything for the property.
Thank you to Marcos (the owner) for allowing us to have an early check-in and late check-out which was much appreciated as before due to flight times. Nice to meet you again too. Also a big thank you to agent, Jon Stewart for his very prompt e-mail communication leading up to the holiday.
We highly recommend this desirable property for your next holiday and have been praising it on different Tenerife forums we frequent. We intend to return to this beautiful complex as soon as possible.

The property was well equipped and clean . Marcos the owner was around most days and if you had any queries or questions etc he would attend to them very efficiently. The food served at the bar area was really good quality as well .
The only thing I would recommend to make the place better is to heat the pool as it was a bit cold
Other than that excellent all round

The pool is heated but being of very large size, the heating system does need additional help at this time of year. We are very pleased to say that in early January our new heating system is being introduced and this will bring the pool temperature up considerably.

Really lovely apartment that as the owner advised still had one or two bits of work to complete. Otherwise excellent facilities within the apartment (bigger kettle & toaster would be a good addition). Pool very good but not heated so quite cold when you went in for an early swim a bit warmer in the afternoon.
Location really good, quiet but not too far from any bars/restaurants BUT the 19th Hole bar/restaurant attached to the complex was excellent, good food & drink at reasonably good prices & the staff were excellent, friendly & helpful especially Angello & Juan. In saying the prices were reasonable you could venture a little way (500m) & eat cheaper. But if we return to Golf del Sur we would definitely use the restaurant again.
The views over the golf course (13th hole right below the pool area) were excellent down towards the marina.
Would recommend & will certainly look to book again.
Overall a really good week & the weather certainly helped!!!

Thank you for the wonderful review. Yes during your stay we were just waiting for the stairs to be installed from the pool area down to our new garden apartment - this is now finished - hope no inconvenience caused.

I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful apartment at Amarilla Golf Villas between 8th and 18th September. Sadly it was a solo trip as my girlfriend was recovering from an illness.
The apartment is very spacious and had almost everything you need for a 'home from home' stay. Far too big for one person lol but i was happy to enjoy far more space than i'm used to at home. Plenty of space outside with four apartments sharing a beautiful swimming pool and lots of lounging area to relax in. The views outside are fab with a golf course rolling down to the marina. There is also a very good wi-fi connection which you can use downstairs and i was able to use directly outside the apartment too.
There is a restaurant/bar on the complex (literally a few footsteps outside of the apartment) which was very convenient for me and had many a meal here. The staff were lovely and the food was good! Lots of local eateries in walking distance or short cab ride. Also, a local, small supermarket in walking distance.
The complex is conveniently only around 15-20 minutes car ride to the airport. You do have planes coming into land throughout the day but i didn't find this an issue whatsoever.
I want to thank owner Marcos (a friendly guy who i got to meet a few times) for allowing me to access the apartment early and leave late in view of my flight times although i appreciate this is not always feasible dependant on bookings.
In summary, thanks so much for a memorable stay, Marcos and i hope that my girlfriend will get to experience this beautiful apartment with me in the not-too-distant future. I highly recommend this apartment to singles, couples and family alike. You will not be disappointed.
All the very best.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment over new year. The apartment itself is large and spacious although it isn’t easy for 4 people to watch tv at once as the tv can’t be turned towards the sofa. You can pull the chairs around though.
The kitchen is high spec, although the ice maker isn’t plumbed in and not all the pans work on the induction hob. The coffee machine was also a little temperamental.
Bedrooms are fine. Comfortable beds. The duvets aren’t the same size as the duvet covers which is slightly irritating. There was no furniture on the upstairs balconies when we stayed but we didn’t mind. You can hear conversations at the restaurant/bar from the bedroom, as it’s only single glazed. However it was usually quiet by 11.
Hot water takes a while in the bathrooms and at least two of the taps are plumbed the wrong way with hot/cold mixed up which caused a bit of confusion!
My main issue with the property is that the pool was not heated for the duration of our stay. It can only be heated by 7-8 degrees, so when it is cooler, i.e. in winter, it can’t be heated enough to be a comfortable temperature. We were also told that it was too windy to cover it once heated, again in my experience Tenerife is windy most of the year. Access to a heated pool was by far our main reason for choosing this property and paying a significant amount for the week. I made that clear when I first made contact and at no point prior to arrival was I told the pool only might be heated, depending on conditions. We were there with two children who wanted to play in the gorgeous pool outside the apartment but could only last a matter of minutes before shivering so much they had got get out.
The staff at the restaurant were lovely and friendly. There is a good local supermarket about 5 mins walk away.
There was no washing up liquid, very few toilet rolls, only one bin bag etc when we arrived. Standard for self catering but for the “luxury” billing I’d expect a few more of the basics or perhaps a welcome pack?
Reply from Amarilla Golf Villas
Thank you for the review. We appreciate all comments and suggestions.
I would firstly like to tackle your issue about pool heating. I am sorry you felt the pool was too cold for your children but the pool is definitely heated. A day or two before you arrived Tenerife experienced some of the strongest winds we have known. (The island was on red alert). The pool cover came flying of and smashed against the building. We therefore had to take it off.
The combination of colder weather than normal, a very large uncovered pool, and this episode of extremely strong winds resulted in a much cooler pool than we had hoped. There was unfortunately nothing we could have done. HOWEVER as we don't want such circumstances to affect the pool temperature again, we have taken measures to double the output of the heat pump (at considerable cost) to be able to overcome this in the future.
You are right it is a gorgeous pool and will be well used from now on.
All terraces now have patio furniture.
We did not know the duvet covers were too large for the actual duvet (we only realised after you departed that the cleaners had incorrectly put the wrong size on). The staff are on-site from 9am to 10pm and would have changed the duvets in 5 mins had you mentioned it. It is strange you mention details like this on a review yet fail to mention it to any of our staff at all during your 1 week stay....
With reference to the hot water, you have to bear in mind these are huge properties so yes the water has to travel a long way from the boiler. I would say the furthest bathroom may take around 30 secs for the water in the shower to heat up. Yes I agree there was a bathroom where the taps were plumbed the wrong way around (so you turned it to the cold side to get hot and vice versa!) but you were told about this and indeed this very minor issue has been resolved.
We have checked all the pans on the hob (in the 55,000 Euro top of the range Gaggenau kitchen) and could not find a problem so expect this may have just been a user error. Please do speak to us, we would be happy to show you how all the appliances work.
Again please mention anything like this during your stay. We would rather be able to help you whilst you are there rather than read about them in a review prior to your holiday when its too late.
The bar (which is not a noisy or busy bar) closes around 10pm (or clients go inside) and being the type of complex it is (for the more discerning traveller) there won't be any late night noise that's for sure.
We are very proud of our new development. We know it offers some of the best accommodation in the area (if not the best). The location and views just cannot be beaten. We are new so there may be the odd very minor niggle but our staff will be on hand to help all day every day.
We respect our clients opinions and welcome reviews. With the utmost respect we do feel your 3 star review is most definitely not in keeping with the quality of accommodation and service provided and hope people read all other reviews for a more rounded overview of what is on offer at Amarilla Golf Villas. We would love to see you again.
NOTE - we have just received this 5 star review from Mr and Mrs Bruce from Scotland who stayed in January 2018:
“The situation of the villas could not have been better looking right down the fairways onto the Marina and out to sea. The villa itself was roomy and very modern, very tastefully decorated. The staff work was all of a high standard both helpful friendly and attentive to any requests.”

Good location and great views, all staff friendly and helpful. The café/bar good and popular. Apartment large and spacious, two balconies but no furniture! Kitchen area modern but only one plug socket at nearly floor level. It felt like it needed a woman's touch! Nice terrace with comfy seating and again lovely views. Ramped wheelchair access into the property and apartment on the level. We thought it unusual for the apartment not to cleaned at least once during our week's stay and having to empty the bins ourselves. It was surprising that there was no aircon for such a new build but two large fans were provided. There weren't any robes or slippers provided so it would have been useful to know this as the floor was tiled. Overall we enjoyed our stay, perhaps when the site and apartments are completely finished and smaller details rectified it can then be marketed as luxurious.
Thank you again Marcus for your assistance during our stay and in particular sorting out about the missing airport taxi!

Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad you had a lovely time at our wonderful new development. As mentioned to you when you booked we only opened on 1st Oct and because we realise there are still 1 or 2 small items that need attention (i.e. we need another socket in the kitchen) the current prices are discounted by 50%!
As you say your downstairs terrace has lovely furniture. Both of the other balconies now also have patio furniture too. (Jan 2018).
Further cleaning can be arranged - at a small extra cost - please just ask the on-site staff.
The unit does have air con but obviously this is not required in the winter but will be available for the summer.
We appreciate your comments and as is demonstrated through all of our first few reviews, our staff are very helpful and committed. We will always use our clients reviews to increase our customer service and to give everyone the best possible experience of Amarilla Golf Villas.

Wow! Unit 3 is a spacious, high end duplex with fantastic, uninterrupted south facing views over the golf course to the marina and ocean.
There is a large, open plan living/dining area on the ground floor, with a superb €55,000 gaggenau kitchen - including an induction hob you almost need an engineering degree to work, full size oven, microwave, big fridge, separate big freezer and even a dishwasher. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery and basic pots and pans plus salt and pepper.
There is a dining table with four chairs on one side of the kitchen. At the other end of the space, a 2 seater sofa and 2 uncomfortable but very stylish chairs and a coffee table. In a corner next to the kitchen, 2 comfortable wing chairs angled to watch the medium-size TV, which has a USB socket. Wifi is superfast.
2 sets of glass doors at the back open to the large pool, shared by 4 units. There are generous sunbathing areas with a choice of several comfortable sun beds with parasol, garden table and chairs, and the wonderful view, of course. Throughout our stay, unfortunately, we were told the gorgeous pool could not be heated due to the strong winds.
Upstairs are 2 bedrooms: the large master has huge windows on two sides and a spacious ensuite with a whirlpool bathtub and a shower while the twin bedroom has a large shower-room across the hall - and there’s yet another spacious shower room on the ground floor. All showers are hose showers, which we find much more practical than the popular rain showers. Water pressure is adequate. There is a hairdryer in each upstairs bathroom. Both bedrooms have good wardrobe space and balconies but no furniture there yet.
2 towels (1 hand and 1 bath) per person and 1 pool towel per person are provided. Mon-Fri there is a free laundry service, usually returned around 5.30pm if collected from you in the morning. Suggest having your next lot ready to give the nice lady (no English) when the previous lot is delivered - much the easiest way.
We, a couple, were here unexpectedly; this was a kindly arranged upgrade, due to problems that suddenly developed at the originally booked property. When we arrived we learned that these new units were not quite ready but the owner had graciously permitted early use. However, this meant some minor snagging was outstanding. Niggles were usually dealt with as soon as reasonably possible, sometimes the same day.
The landing path for planes is almost directly overhead (Golf del Sur is next to the airport) and planes are frequent and close but it only took a few days to get used to the noise.
The owner’s new bar/cafe is just 30 meters away (open your doors to the pool and turn left) and open from 9am until 11pm. So, on arrival, it is a convenient 1 minute stroll for food and drink. However, it can be noisy at night although there was talk of limiting this by closing the nearest section in the evenings.
The nearest shop, a small, basic supermarket (called Pebble Beach), is about 200 m away, opposite Fairways. It’s open from 8am to 8pm and run by an Englishwoman. She sells freshly baked baguettes every morning as well as fresh milk, while most other supermarkets only stock UHT.
Large HiperDino Charifas II is 4-5 km away and open 9am-10pm every day except Sunday; it has some products we are used to in the UK but not available in most other supermarkets here, including fresh milk/yoghurt/cream, magnum ice creams, good quality cooked chicken and generally products are of a higher quality than the nearby Mercolada, which sells mainly own label products. There is a petrol station next to Mercolada.
After we got home, we learned the breakage deposit is only returned 10 days after departure and THEN takes several days to show up, so allow 2 weeks. Finally, in case you might arrive late, request confirmation that a large bottle of water will be put in the fridge ready for your arrival. If you prefer real coffee, bring your own cafetière or other makings. Also, do pack some washing up liquid for the kitchen and small soaps for 3 bathrooms (both handbasins and showers). A roll of toilet paper is provided in each bathroom, a rubbish bag was already in the kitchen bin and a sponge by the sink, so you will not need to pack those. We arrived mid-afternoon so were able to go out right away to buy a few basics like water, milk, butter, bread, sugar, tea, coffee and other basic necessities.
Summary: roomy, modern 2 bed, 3 bath villa. It’s called a “duplex” but it’s really a villa; noisy location, but how many 2 bed units have you come across where you can walk out of your huge living/dining room straight onto that amazing patio with sunbathing beds, a beautiful swimming pool - and those fabulous views!

"Thank you for your lovely 5 star review. I am so glad that one of our first customers had such a great experience at Amarilla Golf Villas. The development is getting better and better every day with the owner adding new touches all the time. The pool is now permanently heated throughout winter. We believe this is a very quiet and relaxing spot. Not sure where the noise would come from although I take your point about the on-site bar. The outside area is now closing at 10pm but this is a high class establishment so we don't have rowdy customers.
We really appreciate your comments both during and after your stay and are working hard to ensure all our clients have the same wonderful experience as you. We feel we have a very special development here (I am not sure there is anything in the area that can touch it) and hope that all our clients are as happy as you were. Thank you and hope to see you again in the future."

We had a fabulous stay in unit 3; opened on to pool as description and photos depicted. Beautiful view to marina and to sea. 10 minute walk to Amarilla golf club; view of greens from apartment and pool areas. Very spacious for 4 people. The build is new with nice furnishings and fittings; a few things to be completed in the next couple of months. Staff at the small bar/restaurant were extremely helpful and welcoming. Owner Marcus, assured us that anything needed, we were just to request. No laundry facilities, however, laundry service offered and welcomed! 4 apartments share the facility. Would love to return. Thank you Marcus and staff for a memorable and wonderfully relaxed holiday. Lynn and Douglas.
