Search hotels in Puerto de Santiago

I enjoyed the accommodation which was well up to scratch, the accommodation had all the amenities you needed. The location was perfect with big grocery stores literally a step across the street with loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Stunning views from the balcony across Los Gigantes, absolutely stunning views, loved it.

The apartment is convenient for the nearby resorts of Los Gigantes and Playa de la Arena both of which are just a pleasant stroll for active holidaymakers. Puerto de Santiago has good shopping facilities including Lidl close by and other supermarkets. A wide range of restaurants and bars in the area.

Very built-up but good facilities, eateries and shopping. Beach quite small and beware of strong current if you're swimming. An easy town on the west coast of Tenerife to get to and from other places. Very hilly but many buses and cheap taxis available. Taxi from airport to my hotel was €47.50. An official taxi office at the airport tells you what the approximate price should be and there are blue info posts at taxi stands giving this info in a few places. Easy to walk to Los Gigantes one way or Alcala the other if you're feeling fit. Even with reasonable prices, it's a bit expensive to use a taxi for some of the big ticket items, like Teide National Park, so consider your location or car hire if that's a main ambition.

Puerto de Santiago is on the west coast of Tenerife and hence it's shielded from the strong north-east winds. It could get busy but not overcrowded and has a nice feel especially around Playa de la Arena. Much nicer place than the bigger resorts further south.

Initially thought not the prettiest town, but had a very relaxed week for some winter sun. Once you delve in found a surprising amount of really great restaurants very nearby. Had some really fabulous food. Wasn't able to use the beaches, we were advised not to swim in the sea, too dangerous. There were some natural pools which we found too late, so I'm sure there are places to swim if you want to, just not the local beach. People were sunbathing and paddling though, beaches were full. Quiet, but not dead, lots of people and restaurants just no rowdiness!! Perfect for a week with the family.

The area has plenty to do while not being inundated with tourists like further south. There are boat tours, scenic walks and nice beaches in easy reach of most accommodation. If you wanted to travel down to the bigger areas like Fanabe, Americas, Cristianos etc there is an excellent bus service which is reasonably priced. There are lots of restaurants serving a wide variety of food, including Casa Edu, Fettuccine Inn and La Pergola. (If you do go to Casa Edu be aware that you can't book in advance, you have to take a number and wait, but the food was exceptional!) We stayed for eight days which was ample time to balance a bit of exploration and relaxation.
