Apartamento Ocean View

Apartamento Ocean View Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartamento Ocean View on Calle Petunia, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much says it all. This four-star property sits right where you want to be in Puerto de Santiago, and the ocean views are genuinely spectacular. What struck me immediately was how the building feels more like a well-designed residential complex than a typical tourist hotel, which actually works in its favor. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free too — having your own guaranteed spot when you’re exploring Tenerife’s winding coastal roads is honestly a game-changer.

Location & Neighborhood

Puerto de Santiago isn’t one of those overly touristy spots that feels completely artificial, you know? It’s got this authentic Canarian vibe while still having everything you need within walking distance. The property’s location really shines here — I mean, couples consistently rate it above 9 out of 10, and after spending time there, I get why. You’re close enough to Los Gigantes cliffs to easily walk there for sunset (about 10 minutes), but far enough from the main tourist drag that you’re not dealing with crowds right outside your door. The local restaurant scene is surprisingly good too, with several family-run places serving proper Canarian food just down the street.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated about this place is how it’s set up more like a proper apartment than a hotel room. You’ve got space to actually live a bit — spread out your stuff, maybe grab some groceries from the local market. The kitchen setup means you’re not tied to restaurant schedules, which is perfect when you want to have coffee on your balcony at 6 AM watching the sunrise over the Atlantic. The ocean view from most units is honestly impressive — not just a sliver of blue between buildings, but a proper panoramic view that changes throughout the day.

Practical Comforts

The whole setup feels thoughtfully designed for people who want to settle in rather than just crash between excursions. Air conditioning works well (crucial during summer months), and the Wi-Fi is reliable enough for video calls if you need to check in with work or family. What I found particularly nice was how quiet it gets at night — the location shields you from most traffic noise, so you actually hear the waves rather than cars. The recent guest ratings consistently hover around 9.2, and honestly, that feels about right for what you’re getting.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something refreshing about a place that doesn’t try to be everything to everyone but does what it promises really well. The combination of that stellar location rating (9.8 from recent guests), genuine ocean views, and apartment-style comfort creates this sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Puerto de Santiago rather than just visiting. It’s particularly great for couples who want a romantic base without the fuss of a big resort — you get privacy, beautiful views, and easy access to both adventure and relaxation. The free parking alone probably saves you 15-20 euros a day compared to other places in the area, which adds up quickly.
