Book Apartamentos La Carabela in Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife), Tenerife

The Carabela complex has an indoor swimming pool open all year, plus a public bath and a massage chair. Guests can also use the billiards table and the onsite golf course. The pool area is enclosed like a greenhouse, keeping the water warm even in cooler months.

Each apartment comes with a private terrace and its own kitchen, where guests can prepare meals. The rooms offer views of the city or of the spectacular Mount Teide. Daily cleaning and towel changes are provided, and comfortable mattresses are standard in all studios.

The complex has a conservatory-style bar full of natural light, where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or beer. A breakfast buffet is served each morning for €10, though reviews note the selection is limited. There is also a vending machine for snacks and drinks, and a small onsite restaurant offers local meals in the evening.

The Carabela is set 1km from the beach in Puerto de la Cruz, with a bus stop 200 meters away providing access to the north of the island. A supermarket is close by, and the city center is a 10-minute walk (with a steep hill on the return). Car rental and an airport shuttle are available through the 24-hour front desk, and public transport tickets can be purchased at reception.

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, currency exchange, and a tour desk to help with planning excursions. Luggage storage and laundry service are provided, and safety deposit boxes can be rented. Board games and puzzles are available for guest use, and free WiFi is accessible in most areas.
