Are Tenerife Hotels Geek Compatible?
In the remote, rural area where I live, any internet connection is a hit and miss affair. Broadband only just reached us this year and it struggles up hill, frequently running out of energy and failing, puffing and panting. What it certainly isn't, is always-on!
But in decent sized towns and resorts and, in big name hotels with a few stars, you would hope and expect that they are able to cope with "the modern world."
Apparently not, as this report at Hotel Chatter about, arguably, what is supposed to be the Tenerife capital's top, five star hotel, says that, "The Sheraton Mencey Hotel should be ashamed of itself.", as one frustrated guest found that the advertised WiFi service was "erratic to the point of being unusable."
At the Sheraton La Caleta, on the south of the island, however, one guest says that, "The hotel is definitely geek compatible. Besides providing a fine working Wireless LAN with an affordable weekly rate the room also includes a safe which is large enough for a notebook. The safe even has a power outlet on the inside which allows you to recharge your equipment while it is locked away."
Amazing, which shows that they can do it right, when they try.
