Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Playa de las Americas
For most travelers, Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is the clear primary gateway. Located in the south of the island and handling most international arrivals, it is the most convenient choice with excellent ground transport connectivity to resorts. Tenerife North Airport (TFN), located in the north near the capital, serves more domestic routes and requires a significantly longer transfer time to reach the southern resorts. The other airports are located on different islands entirely and are not part of the Playa de las Americas city infrastructure. La Gomera Airport (GMZ), El Hierro Airport (VDE), and Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) require complex inter-island logistics, including ferries or regional flights, and should only be considered if specifically traveling to those locations first. For comfort and speed, a private taxi or pre-booked transfer remains the most stress-free option, while budget-conscious travelers will find the local bus networks (TITSA) highly reliable for island transit. Always book transfers in advance during peak travel seasons to ensure availability and fixed pricing.

Service was perfect, cleaning was good. Checkin was fast. Breakfast is very disappointing, the Beach club palazza is also very bad food there. I got very sick from it. Location of palazza is good, for a thank you you can go there quietly but to eat I would not do it.FromUS$174

The location is excellent. There are many bars and restaurants around. The decoration style also has local characteristics. Although the hotel has a bit of history, it is very clean. The breakfast and evening buffets included in the room rate are also very affordable. It is very suitable for people traveling here for the first time. RecommendedVery Good48 Reviews

Lovely hotel at a very good location. Modern, nicely decorated for Christmas. Polite staff, good choice for breakfast and dinner. Christmas dinner was something out of this world( been to many hotels, but Xmas dinner now will be hard to match). Not sure if it is always like this but we were the youngest in the hotel(43&47)during the first part of holidays and only later some other younger people joined us. The average age was 60's 😁 This hotel is not orientated to children but for us it was perfect- no screaming and shouting and our girl had fun in the pool by
Herself and her cousin🤣 I wanted to book Spring Hotel Bitacora at first but now I am thinking that I made an excellent choice . That said, I might try it out next time just because of the All nclusive service Bitacora provides. It was a nice quiet stay so if you expect something like Turkey, eith music around the pool, kids disco and shows, this hotel is not for you. We were half board and 4 days we ate at the pool bar and were never disappointed. Good food and reasonable prices. We didn't book UP option because we were with the kids( it's for 18+)but if I ever come without them- I will try it out!
Pros:
Very good location
Modern hotel
Heated pools( wheelchair friendly)
Good food and service
Cons:
No shampoo in a room! It's a first for me 🙈
The tiles in the pool (mosaic) need replacement. My daughter filled probably half of the carrier bag from the bottom saw of the pool🤣
All in all- perfect stay and believe me, I am picky. It is one of the hotels I would recommend to my friends and familyFromUS$218

We stay at this hotel for the 4th time. Very enjoyable location (not more than 5 minutes to the beach), staff attitude (on the respiratory is a Russian-speaking girl Yula who is always ready to help). The choice of food with years becomes a little bit less and more uniform (unfortunately, it is a general trend), but even what is - very and very good. In the ”price\quality” ratio, in my opinion, is the best choice of the hotels in this area. From the upper floors, the city and mountains are beautiful views. I definitely recommend it to everyone.FromUS$203

The staff absolutely didn't care about guest requests. I asked for an extra blanket THREE TIMES, and on the third try, they brought towels 🤦. It wasn't until I made a scene at reception and made them explain the difference between 'blanket' and 'towels' (just to make sure they understood English) that they finally brought the blanket. They gave me a room facing the noisiest bars, which are loud until 2 AM, and didn't warn me about it. The breakfast staff were also rude. You have to beg for an omelet, and they do everything with sour faces. They rush to clear away the food as soon as 10:30 AM hits, practically snatching it from under guests' noses. If it weren't for such terrible staff, the hotel would be perfectly acceptable, even if it is a bit rundown. Many rooms have a good view of the city and the ocean.FromUS$159

We were kindly met, quickly arranged, told everything and carried out to the room. The room is excellent, two-level, with two bathrooms, with equipped kitchens, finely working air conditioners and a small balcony. Food is not provided. To the beach a couple steps up to one and 3 minutes up to the other. The hotel is the beginning (or completion) of a gold mile, so there are no problems with walking and shopping. Excellent place to stay!FromUS$169
