Hotel Colón Rambla

“Massage”

A few days ago my wife and I went for a massage and we were fascinated with the kindness, skill and professionalism of the two people who attended us. The massage was splendid we will definitely return for another relaxing integral massage session

“Maybe the best holiday ever”

Almost one year after my stay at Hotel Colon Rambla in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with my two boys, I find myself reminiscing that this was a really wonderful week. I was actually going for a conference, which first had advertised Colon Rambla as the conference hotel, and the switched to a different hotel. I'm very happy that I kept my booking at Colon Rambla. We had a very spacious family room, right in front of the swimming pool. It was really not a room, more like a three-room apartment. Each of those three rooms was larger than a standard room in most high-end hotels I have visited. The general interior also left a very high-end feeling, reminding me of posh condominiums in Singapore. There were some small issues with the beds (would have preferred proper double beds over these easily movable twin beds) and with the aircon (no aircon in the bedrooms if I remember right) but these were only minor nuisances and I slept much better than in most other hotels. Both beds and pillows had OK firmness to my taste. The breakfast was decent, but after a week I started to get a bit tired of the same selection. The boys never got tired, as it had all they ever wanted. We also had dinner several times at the hotel. The kids loved the restaurant. My oldest kid loved the tuna tartar, while the youngest was happy they could also prepare more kidfriendly meals. However, one of the things I really like with the hotel is that it is not too far to walk to a much larger variety of eating options in Santa Cruz. It is also not too far from the Parqua Garcia Sanabria, a kind of small arboretum in the middel of Santa Cruz. My youngest kid loved visiting this park every day, too look at the trees, to play at the playgrounds, or just to eat ice cream. For going to the beach (Playa de Las Teresitas) the hotel reception was helpful with booking a taxi. I found the hotel staff friendly and helpful. What made this the best holiday ever was the serene swimming pool right outside our room. We had this treasure for ourself about 70% of the time. I believe the minimum depth is about 1.20, so a kid below 1.30 or so who cannot swim may not be able to appreciate it. But this is where my youngest kid, at 1.27, definitely learned to swim. And after this, he practically lived in the pool. For one week we paid slightly more than 1000 euros, which I think is quite reasonable for a hotel (room) of this standard.

“Good Hotel and good value for money including Breakfast”

The hotel was good, great location and really helpful staff. The pool was great and so was the availability of deck chairs. The breakfast was good and quite diverse (everyone could find sth). My room was huge and the shower had a lot of pressure. Over all great experience.

“Great staff, disappointing room.”

Located within walking distance from the port area, shops and restaurants. Sadly, we were disappointed with our rooms that were small and in need of updating, No pool view or balcony making the room feel smaller and dark.

Located within walking distance from the port area, shops and restaurants. Sadly, we were disappointed with our rooms that were small and in need of updating, No pool view or balcony making the room feel smaller and dark. The pool is located within a beautiful well maintained garden. Lifeguard is present and provided guests with sun beds and towels. We were half board, breakfast was limited but sufficient. Evening meal was disappointing, limited options for children and small portions. We eat out several evenings and occasionally ordered food to the hotel. Santa Cruz is a lovely place to visit with friendly locals who are keen to engage with tourists.
