Overall Rating
Excellent
One of several shopping centres in Las Americas, Tenerife. Not on the main 'tourist strip' (but not too far away), this one doesn't sell the frequently found magnets, keyrings & other souvenirs, but has more 'standard' shops. Not a huge shopping centre, but pleasant to wonder round, and is used by locals as well as visitors. The shops are all together but the centre isn't enclosed, so you can still enjoy the sunshine. The outdoor food area with children's playground next to it is a nice place to sit.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Very easy to access throughout. The whole Centre feels like it has a lot of space, and has a flat paved surface. While the shops are on three different levels, there are lifts, as well as stairs, to get to these.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
If you are staying in a nearby hotel, you may not need to use transport. The streets nearby are all flat, and zebra crossings are found on all bigger roads. There is flat paved access to the Centre straight from the street. The Shopping Centre has its own car park if you are using a car, this has several marked disabled bays. Local buses (which are green in colour) all have disabled access. The buses themselves can lower to let people on, the set of doors in the middle of the bus are wider which allow easier access. There are disabled spaces and seats in the bus. There are also lots of taxis, and for a different way to travel there is also a fun train - which is driven on the road - which transports people from the busier tourist streets to the Centre. I'm not sure if this would be accessible if using a wheelchair, but may suit people with other needs, and anyone who enjoys being a big kid!!
Accessible Toilets
Good
The Accessible (and all) toilets are on the basement level, which is also where the main carpark is. There is a lift as well as stairs to this level. The accessible toilet isn't just the usual standard white room, the decor looks good and it is very clean.
Staff
0I didn't speak to that many staff during my visit, so can't really comment
Additional Information
Not that big a shopping centre, but feels spacious, is very clean, and is pleasant to wander around. Children seem to enjoy the playpark.
