Hotels in Puerto de la Cruz
Historic character over guaranteed beach weather — a genuinely different kind of stay from the southern resorts.
Accommodation in Puerto de la Cruz leans toward older, more characterful hotels rather than the newer resort-style builds common in the south, reflecting the town's history as Tenerife's original tourist destination going back to the 19th century.
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.
Several of the town's hotels date from a much earlier era of Canarian tourism, and while that means genuine character and often a central location, it's worth checking recent reviews for updates on room condition specifically, since renovation quality varies more here than in the newer, more standardised southern resort builds.
- ✓Best for: travellers prioritising character and sightseeing over guaranteed beach weather.
- ✓Price level: generally lower than the southern resorts for an equivalent standard.
- ✓Weather is genuinely less predictable here than the south — factor this in if beach time is the priority.
