While it is not as highly urbanized as other Spanish cities, like Madrid and Barcelona, finding accommodation in Tenerife will not be a problem. In fact, you will be pleased to learn that the apartments and hotels in the city are attractions of themselves.
Tenerife has two different personalities, where you spend a night or two in the city should depend on how you picture your vacation will be. On the island’s north presents the verdant and stylish side of the place, while its south offers tourists its rain-free and fun-loving side. If you want to enjoy Tenerife strolling its beaches by day and party like an animal at night, then it would be best to pick a hotel or a resort located on the south. However, if you want to savour its fiestas and tapas, then head north.
On southern Tenerife are various accommodations that are close to nature. There is Costa Adeje which is a sophisticated resort set in a natural harbour and blue sandy beaches. Surrounding the resort are several boutiques and restaurants for everyone’s pleasure. Another popular resort at the southern part of the city is Los Christianos which boasts of its imported Saharan sand and a plethora of restaurants. If you are looking for something more economical, there are small resorts like the Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes to accommodate you.
The northern side of the city is not as popular as the south among tourists. But if you want a place to stay in that’s away from the crowd, it is a good place to be. One of the popular accommodations in north Tenerife is Puerto de la Cruz, which is the first holiday resort in the city. An old-time style establishment, Puerto de la Cruz is also the island’s second largest tourist center. It has a botanical garden, beaches with black sand, and an original casino.
Another accommodation in the area is Hotel Rural Costa Salada, which is located in between exotic flower and banana plantations. Its location is one of the oldest parts of the city which emerged after volcanic eruptions.
There is a wide range of accommodation choices in Tenerife so choosing one that is perfect for your budget, needs, and requirements would not be hard.
