Hotel Monopol

Puerto de la Cruz|0.19km from Playa de San Telmo
Wanted to be sure as possible of a good break after a harrowing year so I read many hundreds of reviews before selecting the Monopol for a two week stay in March, and I am delighted I did! The perfect location and architecture are already well covered so I will move straight on to the negative issues raised in other reviews of which most (though not all) turned out to be unfounded. Like any hotel which never closes its doors the rooms, by necessity, are refurbished on a rotating basis. The room I was given was clearly recently renovated, lovely shower and plenty of storage, basic but attractive furniture and two single beds pushed together. No kettle, limited tv channels and poor in-room wi-fi (free wi-fi works perfectly in the beautiful patio area) but for a 3* hotel a lovely room all round. A special thank you to the cleaning staff who did a wonderful job and made me feel so at home! Despite being close to the old centre, crowd noise was never an issue. The hotel is not really on a main thoroughfare and the excellent street music was never intrusive. The church does chime the quarter hours from 7 am till 11pm but after a couple of days is just seemed to fade into the pleasant ambience. Rooms not facing the church would probably barely hear it. The free breakfast buffet is copious and extensive, but I think even Oliver would decide that one serving was enough. As a Brit I have to say that the bacon was an affront to the pig that provided it, and the sausage (if indeed it could be classed as sausage) an abomination. Plenty of fresh fruit and various cheese and processed meat slices if that’s your thing. Unlimited cereals to top up on as a backstop. Bread is thoughtfully provided stale for easy toasting. Coffee and juice machines are actually quite good, though busy even in the quiet period of my visit. There is a restaurant, the ‘Don Carlos’ which operates in a portion of the hotel and is clearly associated with it, but which the hotel seems reluctant to acknowledge. Understandably perhaps as it is a total tourist trap, leeching off the hotels beautiful location and providing awful, overpriced meals to passing trade (I suspect they probably have the breakfast contract). There are 50 better dining places within a 10 minute walk. But (rant over) I would recommend the Monopol unreservedly as the perfect base for a visit to Puerto de la Cruz for those who are not looking for a 24-hour Ibiza type experience or a luxury spa hotel with hot and cold running flunkies. For £1000 a week more you would perhaps get a better breakfast and probably a kettle, but you would find yourself in a characterless chrome and glass citadel perched high above the town, isolated from the beautiful beach and downtown area by a gruelling 30-minute hike. It is said that location is everything and the best location in Puerto de le Cruz is the Monopol hotel.

Puerto de la Cruz|0.19km from Playa de San Telmo
The.hotel is by far past its sell by date, in need of some tlc & injection of funds to bring it up to 4* standard. The location is brilliant, staff are wonderful & very friendly. Rooms are clean, beds are comfy & have a fridge & safe, 20 euros a week plus deposit, a little steep in my opinion.. in general everything is aimed for the spanish, which is fair enough afterall you are in spain however we are used to the south of the island so don't come here expecting entertainment all day long, cheap 3 course meals, loud music & sandy beaches. Pool area is just ok although apart from robotic cleaner we haven't seen it cleaned once in the surrounding pool area. Gardens however are kept immaculate.We found the whole resort to be very quiet, meals all the same in practically every restaurant as they are all owned & run by the same few companies. Food in the hotel is not to our liking, breakfast ok but lunch & dinner we are struggling, its chips burgers & hotdog sausage, fish everyday loads of salad but only a couple of choices of meat although chicken or pork is cooked fresh on the grill, just.nothing to go with it except canarian potatoes or chips. Obligatory pasta & sauce, paella & a few dessert cakes, fruit & and ice cream. Drinks are quite expensive in hotel, we found cheaper to drink outside locally. Entertainment starts at 10pm far too late as boredom kicks in waiting,, again, its dire for the English although again we are used to the south with tribute groups & varied acts. It's a relaxed resort which others love but it's not for us. Hotel overall is great if you just want a clean comfy place to relax & do nothing but for a fortnight for us, its getting quite tiresome.

Hotel Marquesa

Puerto de la Cruz|0.24km from Playa de San Telmo
Booked a ”cheap deal” through LoveHolidays. 37 years since I was last in Puerto de la Cruz, so did not know what to expect. The hotel itself has plenty of character, although the general state of it is a little shabby and worn. No matter though, as room I had was very clean and comfortable beds (with very small balcony on 4th floor). Problem with water leaking from the shower screen, which I reported early on but was not fixed, meaning the bathroom floor got very wet and I had to use the bathmat every time I had a shower to soak up the water. As it left the floor wet, could be dangerous if someone slipped on it. Having said that, rest of facilities made-up for that one weakness. Fairly reasonable buffet breakfast included; great rooftop terrace for sunbathing, with a small pool (only about 5 metres by 4); very nice hard-working staff, especially the waiters/waitresses and the maids; great outdoor terrace with smoking area where you could have meals as well as a more formal outside eating area; great ”live” musician (singer with guitar) singing some traditional Spanish songs, which, for me, was very nice to relax to in the evenings before going for dinner, with an acceptable glass of Canarian house white wine; and is in a fantastic location in the Old Town near many sights and only a few minutes walk to many different shops, to some very good restaurants and the Rooftop Bar just around the corner - see my coming reviews for these. So is not a ”fancy, plush” hotel, but one with great charm and is such good value with all its advantages of facilities, location etc

Hotel Vallemar
4.2/560 Reviews
Recently stayed at this beautiful hotel for 4 nights (16th to 19th January) in a fabulous location overlooking the beach and surrounding area of Puerto de la Cruz. We booked a Superior Room with Sea View and were not disappointed. Fabulous views from our balcony. Very welcoming staff on Reception, beautiful well maintained grounds, beautiful roof top pool area with adjoining Restaurant. First class food great quality in Restaurant and buffet breakfast (absolutely everything you could ask for and so fresh) locally produced. Rooftop Restaurant for lunch was fabulous. Menus extensive and all cooked fresh. Restaurant Staff Exceptional, courteous and friendly. Plenty of room around the pool, and no-one getting up early to bag a bed. Top Class Hotel and Staff. Just one minor point to make and this is not a criticism, we would like tea/coffee making facilities in the room. It's just our personal preference to get up early in the morning and sit on the beautiful balcony watching the world go buy listening to the waves crash with a cup of tea or coffee before going down to the fabulous breakfast buffet. Thank you all staff a ValleMar, we will be back.
Hotel AF Valle Orotava
4.2/565 Reviews
I have just been on my first solo trip and I chose this hotel to stay at. I didn’t find the reception team overly helpful. When I checked in, I wasn’t given any information at all about the location of the restaurant for breakfast or the opening and closing times. I also wasn’t given any information on where the pool was, the operating times, towels etc. I asked if I could have a room with a sea view, but I was told I couldn’t with no reason why. I was willing to pay the additional, but it was a flat out no. On the few times I had any questions, the lady on reception didn’t stop what she was doing on her computer, she spoke to me whilst she continued working so I felt like a bit of a nuisance to her. The pool areas are spacious and have plenty of sun beds. It was quite empty when I used the pool and I can only imagine the reason for that is the sun beds are very uncomfortable. You can’t seat them up, you can only lay on them. A few times I took my pillows up so I could try and sit up and read my book. The pool by the bar is a lovely temperature, but the pool on the other side is freezing. The pool staff were very friendly and they served a good club sandwich. I paid for bed and breakfast, but only ate their breakfast once. The food way okay, but wasn’t very hot and not much variety. My room was spacious and comfortable. The bed was quite hard which I’m not used to, but I actually slept very well. My room faced the main road which was a little noisy at times, but it didn’t disturb me too much. The location was brilliant. It’s in a central location and I was able to walk everywhere. As a solo traveler, I felt safe here.

We had a great time at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and cleaned every day. Plenty of towels that were changed every day. Friendly employees, especially at the reception, who thought along with you. The location is great, close to terraces, the boulevard and the sea. opposite Mercdona supermarket. There was very little parking space in the area surrounding the hotel. It was very nice that we could park our car across the street from the hotel in the parking garage of the center of Martinez. Fore 14 days we paid €50. Definitely a place to return.

The cleaning staff were excellent, very courteous and helpful. Rosina was outstanding each day and nothing was ever too much of a problem for her, she was eager to be of assistance and went above and beyond what we expected. Very tentative to our requirements.
