- Arenas Del Mar Hotel

You're just 900 metres from the centre of El Medano, and you're right on the seafront too. In other words, when you stay at the Arenas del Mar Hotel you're absolutely perfectly placed for a fabulous holiday in one of Tenerife's most popular spots. And what about that beach… it's one of the most impressive stretches of beach in the whole of Tenerife. It really is amazing: beautifully black sands that stretch as far as the eye can see, bordered by the irresistible blue of the Mediterranean.
The Arenas del Mar Hotel has certainly earned its four stars and its incredible reputation. People flock to El Medano for that beach and that wonderful weather. And for anyone who's stayed there, the Arenas del Mar Hotel is just as much of a draw.
The views are outstanding, and its position on the seafront within easy reach of both town and beach is unrivalled. But location isn't everything. The Arenas del Mar Hotel is so enduringly popular because it's such a smart, modern hotel with fantastic amenities.
Just wait till you see the pool. Fringed by recliners and a wave of trees, – and then by the beach itself; there's something so much more exhilarating about swimming with the unmistakable scent of the fresh sea air in your nostrils.
Whatever you do, don't forget that there's an indoor pool too. Part of a wonderful recreation suite, with the superb spa facilities available*, you really could spend a lot of time here. Floor length windows let in loads of that wonderful light, and bring out the gorgeous colours in this little haven of peace and tranquillity. Please note the recreation suite is open to Adults only.
One of the really nice things about the Arenas del Mar Hotel is that sense that whatever you might hope for, the reality is better. The guests' rooms are a good example. Bigger and better than most hotel rooms, the standard rooms are actually junior suites. So there are double beds as standard, and plenty of room for you to relax and unwind.
All rooms come with a wonderful balcony – well, you really do want to make the most of those incredible views. They also satellite plasma TV and phone, room safe and minibar. Sea view rooms are also available.
The Arenas del Mar Hotel is choc-full of amenities too, ranging from its own internet cafe and shop, to a TV lounge and all sorts of activities. With a restaurant, cafe and pool bar as well, this really is one of those hotels that you could quite happily luxuriate in for a week or more.
The Arenas del Mar Hotel in El Medano is a tourist hotspot. Some are drawn by its wonderful beaches; but some – those who've been before and stayed at the Arenas del Mar Hotel – can't resist another stay at the region's premier four star facility.
*Some facilities may incur an additional fee.
The 4* Arenas del Mar is situated on the seafront in El Medano, just 900 metres from the centre. It is an ideal choice for a relaxing holiday with stunning views of the ocean and a fantastic array of amenities including an outdoor swimming pool, entertainment area, bars and a superb modern spa at a fee. La Jaquita Beach, a black sandy beach is close to the hotel.
Overall it was good, staff were lovely, good location and the facilities are nice.
Despite that for what we paid the food was average and often cold. The drinks weren’t great either, all beer was poorly poured, Amstel & Heineken.
Drinks after 11pm were paid for, despite all inclusive. €1 charge for a plastic cup to use by the pool that was your responsibility for the rest of your stay.
All the loungers by the pool were in bits and uncomfortable. One pool table, €1 a game. Music by the pool was the same 8/9 songs on repeat all week frequently interrupted.
The food and beer really let this place down unfortunately. The receptionists were exceptionally helpful and pleasant as were the bar and pool staff.
It wasn’t for me, hope things improve, great potential.
Another fabulous stay at Arenas del Mar, fly home tomorrow. All staff super friendly and efficient as always, particular shout out to Nuria, Annabel, Said and Marlen who looked after us. The Lifeguard at the pool (older guy) was very attentive and helped us with parasols and moving beds and anything else we needed. The housekeeping staff kept the room spotless and always lovely fresh towels and bedding. Have been coming for many years and look forward to next year's visit.
This is a lovely hotel. The hotel is kept very clean. Room was cleaned every day. Staff are very friendly even though they speak very little English Plenty of sunbeds around the pool. Would suggest that they could mend a few of them although we never had any trouble. Never had to put towels on them to save. Food was good always plenty to choose Only downside was the surface by the pool plenty of people slipping. This does need to be addressed
5/5 loved this hotel provides exacty what it says on tin and definitely budget friendly looking to return next year
Great hotel. Went for my 60th birthday. Our room was upgraded and a bottle of champagne was delivered to our room on my birthday, which was a lovely surprise. Food was good and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Have booked to go back next year. Thank-you for a lovely stay.
