Club La Mar Puerto de Santiago Canary Islands

This popular Tenerife resort is located in Puerto de Santiago, a beachside neighbourhood in Santiago del Teidi. It’s set in a quiet area of town on Tenerife’s south-western coast, and offers a home away from home with excellent facilities at a reasonable price.

Traveller reviews praise the well-equipped units as well as the fabulous location of the resort and its practical help for guests with young children and babies. The apartments themselves are bright, cool and overlook the gardens and recently-installed swimming pool from their balconies

In-room amenities include direct-dial telephones, satellite TVs with pay movie channels, safes and ceiling fans. The kitchens are well-equipped with washer/dryers, fridges, microwaves and coffee and tea-making machines, and bathrooms come with complimentary toiletries, tub/showers, bidets, hair-dryers and makeup mirrors.

The resort offers pretty, landscaped gardens and free internet access in its public areas. Translation services and assistance with tours is available, and there’s a rooftop terrace for soaking up the sun. The pretty properties are well maintained and a housekeeping service is supplied weekly.

The black-sand beach is just a stroll away, and holidays here are restful rather than riotous, with peaceful evenings perfect for relaxation. An onsite pub great for meeting new friends and a family-run restaurant complete the picture.

Hiring a car is the best option here, and Los Cristianos, half an hour away, has charming local shops, restaurants, pubs, tapas bars, nightclubs and whale and dolphin-watching trips. A visit to its historic castle is a journey back in time.
