Hotel Puerto Azul

“Winter sun experience”

Because i have ocd and a neat freak, i usually like to stay in extremely clean places. And i can tell you this family owned hotel did the magic for me! The staff were also supportive especially being a solo traveler. I REALLY ENJOYED MY STAY🥰🤗😊

“Hidden Gem of a Hotel!”

What an absolute hidden gem this hotel is. By no means will it be what everyone is looking for in a hotel, but for us, it couldn't have been any more perfect.

What an absolute hidden gem this hotel is. By no means will it be what everyone is looking for in a hotel, but for us, it couldn't have been any more perfect. As residents in the south of the island, it's nice to have a little 2 or 3 night break in Puerto de La Cruz every so often, to get away from familiarity. For the sake of an hour and a half drive, you feel like you are in a completely different place altogether. The streets around the old town could easily be mistaken for Seville or Valencia. It's on one of these cute, charming and narrow streets that you will find the Playa Azul. Nestled amongst listed buildings this newly refurbished hotel stands out with its ultra modern facade. For us the location was exactly what we were looking for - central, charming part of town, surrounded by restaurants and a few cocktail bars. Simple. The price and star rating of this hotel can be unnerving. We aren't 2 ⭐ people at all, but we trusted our gut and were right to do so. On arrival in 38°C heat (you'll need Google maps to find it the first time) we were instantly stunned by three things. Firstly, how super modern the interior was (the photos don't lie). Secondly, how cute and small it was. And, thirdly, it was bloomin' freezing! Which was an absolute godsend. They do not mess about with the Aircon. It just screamed 'boutique hotel'. The lad on reception was lovely, too, and helpful. Check in took minutes. The rooms are very snazzy (and, again, freezing). No keys or key cards needed, as all the doors have a keypad on, and to enter your room you have to enter a 4 digit code (hi-tech or what!?) Everything seemed almost brand new. Big modern flat screen on the wall, with netflix etc, which is nice in the evening when getting ready to go out. Theres no decent views here, but that wasn't important to us at all. Big, comfy double bed. Walk-in shower with endless hot water. Storage space was lacking a bit, but enough to manage. The mini fridge is useful as it's a self catering hotel, so we put a few bottles of water in there straight away and a few beers. There's a hair dryer. There's a kettle, not that you really need it as in reception there is a 24hr help yourself area with water, a coffee machine and every tea known to man, all free of charge. As we intended, we spent little time in the hotel. Daytime was spent at the Lago Martianez soaking up this incredible weather (€5.50 pp), eating seafood and sinking a few beers, before returning in the evening to use the jacuzzi for a bit, on the roof (what a lovely touch). I don't think this roof terrace gets too much use, but we made sure to spend half an hour up there both evenings, before returning to the room, to the blessed Aircon, haha. If that doesn't sound like the perfect day I don't know what does. In the evening, we headed out to have a wander and find one of the hundreds of stunning little restaurants within a five minute walk. Both the ones we tried we gave 5 stars to on here also (Templo del Vino and Rustico). We also had a stunning cocktail on the main square (something Compostellana). Found a funky place called Papa Teide. On Friday we even ended up in a Spanish night club called Blanco (for the under 30s). All this in a 5 minute walk from this incredible, value for money and massively recommended hotel. You will not be disappointed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Lovely hotel, great staff”

The hotel is in a quiet neighbourhood but also with plenty of great restaurants and bars nearby, and close to the sea for a walk. Staff couldn’t have been warmer and friendlier. The breakfast was very good too. Would only come back here when next staying in Puerto de La Cruz

My sister and I stayed in Puerto Azul for a week. We loved the accommodation. Even though the rooms were small they were very well equipped, comfortable and quiet. The staff were most welcoming and helpful. My sister is coeliac and she was provided with gluten free bread each morning. Situated in a pedestrian area the hotel is close to the waterfront, restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend Puerto Azul.
