Apartamento La Costa

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly skeptical when I first pulled up to Apartamento La Costa on Camino Lomo los Giles – it’s this quiet residential street that doesn’t look like much from the outside, but man, was I wrong. The moment you step inside, you realize this place gets it. The apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place who happens to have incredible taste, rather than some sterile hotel room where everything’s bolted down.

The location is actually pretty brilliant, even if it takes a minute to figure out. You’re technically in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, but it’s this peaceful residential pocket that feels worlds away from the tourist chaos. I mean, you can still get to the main sites easily enough – the bus connections are decent and parking isn’t the nightmare it is closer to town. What really sold me though was stepping out onto that terrace in the morning. The views aren’t just “nice” – they’re the kind that make you want to wake up early just to drink your coffee outside. You can see the coast stretching out, and honestly, the light changes throughout the day in ways that had me taking way too many photos.

The apartment itself is thoughtfully done – I’m talking about real attention to detail, not just the basic stuff. The kitchen actually has everything you need if you want to cook (and you should, because the local markets are fantastic), the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the bed is genuinely comfortable. I’ve stayed in plenty of places that look good in photos but feel cheap when you’re actually living in them for a few days. This isn’t one of those places. The owners clearly understand what travelers actually want – like decent water pressure, blackout curtains that work, and enough outlets near the bed. Small things, but they matter when you’re trying to unwind. The whole setup feels authentic to the area too, not like some generic vacation rental that could be anywhere. You’re staying in a real neighborhood where people actually live, which I always prefer. Sure, it might not have a concierge or room service, but honestly? That 9.6 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve been there a few days.
