Where to Stay
Hotels in Puerto de la Cruz
Historic character over guaranteed beach weather — a genuinely different kind of stay from the southern resorts.

It suits visitors who'd rather trade some guaranteed sunshine for a greener setting, closer access to Loro Parque and the Orotava Valley, and a lower overall price level.
- ✓Best for: travellers prioritising character and sightseeing over guaranteed beach weather.
- ✓Price level: generally lower than the southern resorts for an equivalent standard.
