Icod de los Vinos Hotels with Airport pickup service

This hotel has a great deal to recommend it. It's in a delightful old building that has been lovingly looked after, with shining woodwork everywhere and generously proportioned bedrooms (as well as extensive public rooms). However, it would be wrong to suggest that it's all old-fashioned: the TV was hi-spec and the wifi functioned very well. The breakfast too was excellent, with great choice. All in all, it probably the best of the four places we stayed in during a recent visit to Tenerife. Highly recommended.

If you're a wheelchair user, please make sure to let the hotel know with plenty of notice. I use a wheelchair that doesn't fold and I couldn't get into my room without taking the wheels off as there's a wardrobe immediately as you enter the room. Fortunately, I am able to walk and only use my chair for longer distances.l, but for others, this could be a real issue. We stayed in that room for one night and they were happy enough to swap me into a different room in the morning. That first night was awful. There were concerning dips in the floor and the noise from being next to the ocean was so loud, plus the wind rattles the windows, it sounded like I was lost at sea. The receptionist was lovely and upgraded us to a family room, no issues, though I hope for the sake of others that there are double rooms available that are more accessible, not just family rooms. The family room was luckily on the other side, so it was totally silent. The breakfasts were quite stale and the milk for the cereal was warm so stuck with the crepes every morning. We did have dinner here one evening but unfortunately, when I got to the dessert stand, there was a cockroach crawling on the food. They were very apologetic and gave both of us a glass of wine as an apology, but then still had to pay full price on the meals. Fortunately, we did bring an extension cord as there weren't many sockets and not all of them even worked. There were no ceiling lights, just plug in lamps, which made it quite dim at night. The pool is barely heated but it takes a few seconds for your body to acclimatise. The mattress is quite firm and I found the pillows were far too high. Also beware that the hotel is on a VERY steep hill. Luckily, I can actually walk quite well in hot weather but I was definitely out of breath when I got from the bottom of the hill to the hotel. The WiFi is awful and I ended up just using my data. The zoo is well worth visiting though and it's a very short distance away. As you come into the hotel, it's got a huge lovely lobby which was lovely to sit in, so it really surprised me how poor everything else was. I have no ill intentions and the staff were lovely but I have to be honest.

Everything corresponds to the description and photographs, clean, cozy, friendly staff, nearby there is a store, a kiosk with excursions, a bus station, a beach (waves, always a red flag), you can walk to the city beach with swimming pools, the nature is very beautiful, everything is super.

Very decent hotel, deserves 5 stars considering the price-quality ratio. The hotel is clean and modern, with two large pools on the roof, plenty of sunbeds, a bar, shower, and toilet. Unfortunately, the rooftop is only open until 6 PM. The rooms are pleasant, featuring glass-walled bathrooms, balconies with chairs and a table. The downside was the single beds (they tend to separate), but the room is cleaned daily, and towels are regularly changed. Excellent base for exploring, 4 minutes to the bus terminal (buses are not heard), and a few minutes to the beach. Shops, cafes, and restaurants are nearby. On the downside, there is an absolute lack of parking spaces (as on the whole of Tenerife, though). Breakfasts are decent but monotonous, although you can organize them in such a way that during a 5-7 day stay, you can eat something different every day. Overall, I highly recommend it. If I return to Puerto, I will definitely aim for this hotel again.

Nice clean hotel, rooms are exactly as shown in the pictures. There is a kettle and fridge in the room you can ask at the bar for cups to make tea/coffee. Rooms are kept clean and tidy daily by house keeping and are alternated on a Saturday and Sunday. Day trips can be booked at reception and are cheaper than outside we realised this too late and could have saved ourselves 20€ on Siam water park. The pool is small and cold and you can’t use inflatables. There is a huge selection of pools along the sea front which you can access for 5€ each person, you can use the sun beds and stay all day. The restaurant is fast pace and I was surprised by the variety available for both breakfast and dinner, breakfast offers tea and juice with your food but only water with dinner. We was half board and that’s what was available to us. We are a family of 5 with one fussy eater and we were all more than happy with meal times. The bar sells a wide range of cocktails at a better price than the bars and restaurants outside. Staff are friendly and happy and will do their best to help. Just returned home and this was a wonderful family holiday that I will remember forever. Beautiful views and location was within easy access to shops bars and restaurants. The beaches are volcanic black sand and are rocky with lovely rock pools. Larger beaches are about 20 min walk away but the water was contaminated when we was there so you couldn’t go in the sea but the beaches were lovely to sunbathe on. Watch out for people selling fake bags they can be rude it’s not recommended to engage with them unless you are genuinely wanting to purchase a bag regardless of knowing the quality or price as looking is fuel for their persistent unpleasant pressure for you to buy there and then. Would highly recommend this holiday.

Apartment is very comfortable room, with balcony and table, indoor table, all kitchen comfort. Family is done almost every day. Very clean, very friendly staff, including at the reception. We were next to the restaurant on the floor, so a little noise in the evening, but next to enjoy the animations. The residence is well placed to walk in the city, car parked outside at a maximum of 5 minutes in adjacent streets. the staff explains how to go there ... Very happy with our stay.

Ok. Apartments were basic but functional.. we asked for a toaster and a kettle as our room had none and they were delivered by housekeeping that day.. aircon is fab.. 20 euros deposit which you get back when you leave.. rooms freshened every day and beds made.. towels freshens up twice or three times in the week.. we were on fourth floor so sun loungers on balcony as well as table and chairs and glass front which got the sun all day.. the pool bar man is an absolute legend.. he is very good at his job and the hotels best asset!! The hotel is mainly geared for Spanish but all staff seemed to speak good English and were very helpful.. not too far from town but very hilly.. taxi back is no more than 5 euro.. only criticism is the fact that for the whole week the pool itself was never cleaned. The outside area was brushed in mornings but never deep washed so it was very grubby.. sun loungers had comfortable pads but they were never washed either.. our room had a pool view so we were able to see the “cleaning” process..this worried me as birds washed in the pool and we also caught a rat drinking from it one morning after 8am. also cracked tiles and uneven tiling around the pool.. steps at deep end were very shaky and loose.. but all round a good solid spot for self catering holiday..

We had a very pleasant week at La Carabela Hotel at the beginning of April. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly diverse; we especially valued all the fruit and veggies, i.g. oven-baked apples, fried bananas, aubergines and courgette, salad leaves and the sweet cakes. The cleaning of the rooms and making the beds were very excellent and took place often enough, so it was lovely to return in the evenings to a well-cleaned room (there might be a need to clean under the bed say once a week though). Although the open-air pool was not in use, we enjoyed swimming a few times in the covered pool, which is of course very handy should it rain. The view from our balcony towards Teide was breathtaking both during the day time and at night. The view from the roof terrace of the hotel was also very impressive and that area would be worth using more. Although there was a need for some repair work here and there (locks on the balcony and bathroom doors, shower handle), the overall feeling in the hotel was tidy and pleasant. The adjacent building was being renovated, but the construction noise did not bother us at all. The area where the hotel is located is nicely peaceful, but yet at a very short walking distance from a variety of shops and restaurants. Also we got a nice amount of exercise when walking down to the lower part of the town, to the beach and Lago Martianez, and then back up to the hotel.

We enjoyed our stay a lot, very good value for money. We got everything we expected and more. It would help to have air conditioning in the room (even paid extra) because we had to keep the terrace door open at night and sometimes it was still too hot to fall sleep or occasionally a little too loud (because of other guests or sounds coming from the outside, e.g. loud and drunk egocentric English tourists coming back to their hotels - unfortunately there's not much you can do about it regardless of where you stay).

Bed very comfortable. Bathroom a bit dated but very clean. Had a seaview room with balcony, a bit noisy but only to 11pm so did not disturb sleep. Staff were excellent. Food was good, prosseco with breakfast was a nice touch. All staff very hard working. Air conditioning very good and also good to have a fridge in the room. Very well located for the Lido/ Lago which was amazing, and very handy for an evening walk around the old town. Also courtesy fun train to Loro Parque from just outside the hotel. Exceeded my expectations.
