Hotel Riu Garoé  

In La Paz district of Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife — a spot that puts beach time and town wandering within easy reach. About 300 m from the Botanical Garden and roughly 1 km from the famed Lago Martiánez saltwater pools, with the city centre, shops and cafés a short stroll or shuttle ride away.

Renovated recently, this 190-room hotel mixes relaxed island comfort with lively, family-friendly energy. Rooms come with A/C, balconies or terraces, minibars, satellite TV and bathrobes. Expect sun-soaked terraces, lush gardens and simple, modern interiors that tilt toward comfort and convenience.

Big outdoor pool with Jacuzzi, indoor pool and a heated children’s pool, plus a sun terrace with loungers and a poolside snack bar. Wellness centre offers hydro-massage, sauna, steam room and spa treatments; there’s also a fitness centre, tennis court, mini golf and daytime entertainment with live music. Free Wi‑Fi throughout, kids’ play areas, a hairdresser/beauty salon and a complimentary shuttle to the centre round out the perks.

Meeting rooms and conference facilities, 24-hour reception and concierge services. Complimentary wireless internet in public areas and an internet corner (charge may apply). Airport transfers available for a surcharge.

Multiple on-site options include a main restaurant with terrace serving Canarian and international dishes, buffet breakfasts and live-cooking stations. Two bars and two cafés keep things casual — think poolside snacks, tapas and aperitifs between sun breaks.
