This is a good spot!
We visited esmeralda in late april on a package holiday and really enjoyed the overall experience in tenerife. In fact, we had such a good time, we returned a month later.
the hotel is in an ideal location, close to the beach with a variety
... of restaurants & pubs nearby. You'll need a taxi to the veronicas but eight or nine euro will have you sorted. If you don't fancy that, try harleys which is nearby - great cocktails!
my sole gripe lies with the hotel staff. The cleaning ladies were lovely but certain front desk personnel (not all) require a swift refresher in basic courtesy. I wasn't impressed to receive two single beds when i had clearly requested a double, but that's a minor matter.
overall, i'd recommend it to anybody travelling to costa adeje.
