Arenas Del Mar Hotel
Spain, Europe
El Medano
You're just 900 metres from the centre of El Medano, and you're right on the seafront too. In other words, when you stay at the Arenas del Mar Hotel you're absolutely perfectly placed for a fabulous holiday in one of Tenerife's most popular spots. And what about that beach… it's one of the most impressive stretches of beach in the whole of Tenerife. It really is amazing: beautifully black sands that stretch as far as the eye can see, bordered by the irresistible blue of the Mediterranean.
Enjoy one of the region's premier spots, within a whisper of the rolling dunes:
The Arenas del Mar Hotel has certainly earned its four stars and its incredible reputation. People flock to El Medano for that beach and that wonderful weather. And for anyone who's stayed there, the Arenas del Mar Hotel is just as much of a draw.
The views are outstanding, and its position on the seafront within easy reach of both town and beach is unrivalled. But location isn't everything. The Arenas del Mar Hotel is so enduringly popular because it's such a smart, modern hotel with fantastic amenities.
Just wait till you see the pool. Fringed by recliners and a wave of trees, – and then by the beach itself; there's something so much more exhilarating about swimming with the unmistakable scent of the fresh sea air in your nostrils.
Whatever you do, don't forget that there's an indoor pool too. Part of a wonderful recreation suite, with the superb spa facilities available*, you really could spend a lot of time here. Floor length windows let in loads of that wonderful light, and bring out the gorgeous colours in this little haven of peace and tranquillity. Please note the recreation suite is open to Adults only.
One of the really nice things about the Arenas del Mar Hotel is that sense that whatever you might hope for, the reality is better. The guests' rooms are a good example. Bigger and better than most hotel rooms, the standard rooms are actually junior suites. So there are double beds as standard, and plenty of room for you to relax and unwind.
All rooms come with a wonderful balcony – well, you really do want to make the most of those incredible views. They also satellite plasma TV and phone, room safe and minibar. Sea view rooms are also available.
The Arenas del Mar Hotel is choc-full of amenities too, ranging from its own internet cafe and shop, to a TV lounge and all sorts of activities. With a restaurant, cafe and pool bar as well, this really is one of those hotels that you could quite happily luxuriate in for a week or more.
The Arenas del Mar Hotel in El Medano is a tourist hotspot. Some are drawn by its wonderful beaches; but some – those who've been before and stayed at the Arenas del Mar Hotel – can't resist another stay at the region's premier four star facility.

Quiet Holiday
This is a lovely hotel. The hotel is kept very clean. Room was cleaned every day. Staff are very friendly even though they speak very little English Plenty of sunbeds around the pool. Would suggest that they could mend a few of them although we never had any trouble. Never had to put towels on them to save. Food was good always plenty to choose Only downside was the surface by the pool plenty of people slipping. This does need to be addressed
Great holiday with great service again.
Another fabulous stay at Arenas del Mar, fly home tomorrow. All staff super friendly and efficient as always, particular shout out to Nuria, Annabel, Said and Marlen who looked after us. The Lifeguard at the pool (older guy) was very attentive and helped us with parasols and moving beds and anything else we needed. The housekeeping staff kept the room spotless and always lovely fresh towels and bedding. Have been coming for many years and look forward to next year's visit.
Not for me
Overall it was good, staff were lovely, good location and the facilities are nice.
Despite that for what we paid the food was average and often cold. The drinks weren’t great either, all beer was poorly poured, Amstel & Heineken.
Drinks after 11pm were paid for, despite all inclusive. €1 charge for a plastic cup to use by the pool that was your responsibility for the rest of your stay.
All the loungers by the pool were in bits and uncomfortable. One pool table, €1 a game. Music by the pool was the same 8/9 songs on repeat all week frequently interrupted.
The food and beer really let this place down unfortunately. The receptionists were exceptionally helpful and pleasant as were the bar and pool staff.
It wasn’t for me, hope things improve, great potential.
Terrible food...
Location is very quiet which we knew.
No atmosphere.
We had a junior suite 9/10 looked over the ocean.
Value 5/10
Hotel was clean all over.
Noise level was fine.
Front desk staff were fantastic.
Food.... was terrible, warm at best, we ate out quite a lot which detracted from being all inclusive.
We will never stay here again.
Room cleaning was hit and miss
Very windy around pool (understandable), sand gets everywhere, nearest beach is quite rocky in the water, take towel pegs so they don't blow away.
Paid trips will be cancelled if not enough people want to go, hard to plan if this happens.
Dissapointed
Outside appearance of hotel looks like something from the goulags. Inside is pleasant and clean with friendly polite staff. For an all inclusive stay the Hotel was let down by the following: Nowhere to get a tea / coffee or soft drink between 10am and 12:30pm apart from the small poolside bar which gave you a small paper cup. Having to pay 1 euro for a plastic beaker when drinking near the pool. Charge for in room safe which was key operated. No free bottled water and told you can get refills from the drinks machines which were only available in the breakfast room during opening times. Room cleaning was poor cups were left dirty. We arrived back to our room after lunch only to find the door wide open and two maintenance guys fixing a balcony light that wasn't broken and that we hadn't reported. Restuarant partially closed off with only one drinks machine operational. On a positive the food was generally fair to good. If you like to go all inclusive I would avoid this hotel as it is not value for money. Needless to say we won't be returning. Suggest the hotel owners / managers sit down and take a good look their vision for the future.
