Apto Shasha Los Cristianos By Paramount Holidays

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name “Apto Shasha Los Cristianos By Paramount Holidays,” I thought it sounded like someone threw travel buzzwords at a wall. But you know what? This little 3-star spot on Avenida Juan Carlos I actually surprised me in the best way possible.

The thing about Los Cristianos is that everyone rushes straight to the beach promenade, but staying on Juan Carlos I puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to everything but far enough back that you’re not dealing with the chaos of drunk tourists stumbling home at 3 AM. The apartment-style setup here is perfect if you’re the type who gets tired of hotel breakfast buffets after day two – I mean, there’s something liberating about being able to make your own coffee without waiting in line behind a German family of six arguing about scrambled eggs. The kitchenette isn’t going to win any design awards, but it’s got everything you actually need, and honestly, after a day of exploring Arona’s hillside villages or getting sun-drunk on Playa de Las Vistas, you’ll appreciate being able to throw together a simple meal.

What really won me over was how the staff actually knows the area – not just the tourist stuff, but where locals go for tapas (there’s this tiny place called Bar Rincón about three blocks up that serves the best patatas bravas I’ve had outside of Madrid), and they’ll tell you which bus routes to take if you want to explore beyond the resort bubble. The 8.7 rating makes sense once you realize this isn’t trying to be some flashy resort experience. It’s more like staying at a well-organized friend’s place who happens to live in one of the most pleasant corners of Tenerife. The apartments are clean – properly clean, not just hotel-clean – and there’s this practical attention to detail that you don’t always get at this price point. Good water pressure, reliable Wi-Fi, and the kind of blackout curtains that actually work when you need to sleep off a long day of hiking in Teide National Park. The location thing is genuinely convenient without being obvious about it – you’re a ten-minute walk from the ferry terminal if you want to hop over to La Gomera, and close enough to the main strip that you can stumble back after dinner without needing a taxi, but tucked away enough that you won’t hear every conversation from the street below.

Reviews

• Lovely apartment, Close to city centre shops & restaurants. – Sean from United Kingdom – 2 February 2025 (9/10)

  Recently renovated, close to the centre, excellent communication from the manager, excellent WIFI.
  
  What could be improved: Noise from road at times was annoying

• Vacation for four weeks – Hrund from Iceland – 25 March 2025 (7/10)

  Good location, nice apartment, clean
  
  What could be improved: Bad beds and the host dit not respond to our complains about it. Balcony facing north so we never had the sun shining on it and no coffie machine.

• Jedva čekamo ponovni dolazak. – Danijel from Croatia – 9 January 2025 (9/10)

  Jako dobro opremljen apartman. Izvrsna lokacija.

• Ci torneremo sicuramente – Katharina from Italy – 5 December 2024 (10/10)

  Struttura in un ottima posizione, a meno di 10 minuti dalla spiaggia. Tanti locali e supermercati in zona, tutto raggiungibile a piedi. Appartamento come in foto, rinnovato, pulito e anche piuttosto silenzioso, dormito benissimo. Cucina accessoriata.
  
  What could be improved: Il boiler è un po piccolino e la doccia calda per due persone era un po al limite, soprattutto per lavare anche i piatti e/o una lavatrice. Ma per una o due settimane ci si arrangia e va bene

• Very good – Roksana from Poland – 17 November 2024 (8/10)

  Wygodny, czysty apartament,przyjemnie urządzony, duża lazienka, w kuchni niezbędne przyrządy
  
  What could be improved: Brak dużej suszarki na pranie, jedynie mały wieszak na balkonie, brak kosmetyków do kąpieli
  Apartament położony jest blisko dużego ronda gdzie jest duży ruch, dla osób wrażliwych na hałas może to być uciążliwe w dłuższej perspektywie

• Very good – Minett from Netherlands – 27 February 2025 (8/10)

  De locatie
  
  What could be improved: Het contact
  Ze reageerden heel slecht op onze appjes en kregen maar 1x schone handdoeken, na 4 x zeuren om nieuwe handdoeken ĺ

• Very good – Arianna from Italy – 11 January 2025 (8/10)

  La posizione ottima della struttura
  
  What could be improved: Stendino più grande per balcone e vetro per la doccia (no tenda)

• Good – Miguel from Spain – 7 May 2025 (7/10)

  Apartamento limpio y en una gran ubicación.
  
  What could be improved: No tiene ventanas y las cortinas no tapan absolutamente nada de luz, lo que dificulta notablemente el descanso. Además, el piso viene totalmente vacío, no hay ni un poco de sal, azúcar o papel higiénico. Ni siquiera una triste servilleta… A nivel equipamiento deja bastante que desear.

• Exceptional – Maxim from United Kingdom – 8 October 2024 (10/10)

• Exceptional – Katharina from Italy – 29 June 2025 (10/10)
