“Right on El Medano's sandy beach, this family-run hotel puts you directly onto Tenerife's longest natural stretch of sand. I think its best feature is the blend of wellness amenities-saltwater pools, on-site spa, yoga-with access to the island's famed windsurfing scene. Add to that convenient airport proximity and free parking, and it makes a compelling base for exploring the island.”

beach locationroom noisemissing air conditioning
The location was fine, right on the beach. The staff were friendly.
The room lacked air conditioning. It became uncomfortable, especially with temperatures reaching high levels. The hotel was SO noisy, it wasn't soundproof at all. It made it difficult to get some rest. Check-in was advertised for 2 pm BUT our room wasn't ready until after 3 pm.
