Bungalow Los Tulipanes

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Bungalow Los Tulipanes? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet residential street where you can hear the ocean if you listen carefully – we’re talking maybe a 10-minute walk to the coast, which honestly feels perfect because you get that seaside vibe without the tourist chaos right outside your door. The whole setup is refreshingly low-key for Tenerife, where so many places try way too hard to be fancy.

The bungalow style really works here, I mean, it feels more like staying at a friend’s well-kept place than some sterile hotel room. Each unit has this lived-in comfort that’s hard to fake – the kind of place where you actually want to hang out on the little terrace with your morning coffee instead of rushing out immediately. The owners clearly put thought into the details without going overboard; there’s decent WiFi (tested it extensively, no complaints), the kitchen setup is practical if you want to grab some local produce from the market, and the beds are actually comfortable, not just hotel-acceptable. What really sold me was how quiet it gets at night – you’re close enough to Santa Cruz that you can easily get into the city center, but far enough that you’re not dealing with late-night street noise or party crowds.

The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there a few days. It’s not trying to be luxury, but everything just… works. The check-in was smooth, parking isn’t a nightmare like it can be in some parts of the island, and when I had a minor issue with the hot water (honestly, took about 30 seconds longer to heat up than I expected), they sorted it out the same day without any fuss. The location is actually pretty smart if you think about it – you’re positioned well for exploring both the capital and the more scenic parts of the island, plus there’s this little local café about two blocks away that does incredible bocadillos that I’m still thinking about. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if you’re the type who wants a genuine feel for how locals actually live rather than being stuck in some resort bubble. It’s the kind of place where you’ll probably end up staying an extra day just because it feels good to be there.

  The host was exceptionally helpful and responded quickly to all questions. Basically, a very good communication. The apartment had all the small items that are everyday necessities like: paper towels, coffee, aluminium foil, laundry capsules, beach towels etc… It was also really clean, basically well maintained.

• Izabela from Poland (9/10)

  The location is in a quiet little street on the outskirts of town. This is exactly what we were looking for – great rest after busy days. View to the oceanside. 🙂
  Welcome pack was very generous: a bottle of wine and water, plenty of fruit, some sweets for our kid, coffee, tea, cocoa – really thoughtfull and welcoming. Plenty of towels (also beach towels), a washing machine.
  The apartment is spacious and clean. Full kitchen equippment.
  It was easy to park our car just outside the house.
  Great walking paths around.

• Jan from Sri Lanka (9/10)

  Everything perfect, easy parking in front. Very quiet during the night, plenty of space in the bungalow and great shower with enough hot and cold water.
  Strategic location to discover the northern part of the island, basically from Icod even up to San Andres (45min drive from accomodation)
  
  The host is very helpful and organized a baby bed for us and gave us suggestions where to go for groceries and food 🙂

• Nataliia from Ukraine (10/10)

  I had an amazing stay at these apartments! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. There was wine and delicious sweets waiting for us, and even fruits for the kids, which was such a thoughtful touch. The view from the windows is absolutely breathtaking, overlooking the ocean—it’s something you’ll never forget. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable; everything was spotless. They even provided a toothbrush, which shows how much attention they give to the small details.
  What made our stay even more special was the owner’s kindness—she personally drove us with our luggage to the city to catch the bus to the airport, free of charge. This level of care and hospitality is truly exceptional. Highly recommended for a perfect and comfortable stay!

• Ryszard from Poland (10/10)

  Nice and calm area near the fabulous coastal trail and a beach with a black sand (30min walk). You definitely need a car to travel around the island. There is no problem with finding a parking place. Clean apartment with everything you need.
