Caletillas Home

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed in a lot of places along the Canary Islands, but Caletillas Home genuinely surprised me. It’s tucked right on Avenida Maritima in Araya – and I mean right on it, which sounds like it might be noisy, but honestly the ocean noise drowns out most of the traffic. The location is sort of perfect if you know this area… you’re literally a two-minute walk from some of the best local seafood spots that most tourists never find because they’re stuck up in the main resort areas.

The thing about this place is that it feels like someone actually thought about what travelers need, not just what looks good in photos. I mean, the 9.6 rating isn’t just fluff – you can tell the moment you walk in. The woman at check-in (I think she might be the owner?) actually remembered my name the whole stay, which… well, that doesn’t happen much anymore. The rooms have this clean, uncluttered vibe that’s comfortable without trying too hard to be fancy. What really got me was the attention to small stuff – decent water pressure, blackout curtains that actually work, and thank god, reliable wifi. The beds are proper comfortable too, not those rock-hard mattresses you sometimes get in European hotels.

Here’s the thing though – and this is why I’d go back – it’s the kind of place where you can actually experience this part of Tenerife instead of just passing through. Araya isn’t exactly a tourist hotspot, which is precisely why it’s great. You’ve got locals doing their morning runs along the coast, actual Spanish conversations in the nearby cafés, and this incredible stretch of volcanic coastline that changes completely depending on the tide. The hotel feels connected to all of that rather than separated from it. Parking was easy enough (there’s street parking right outside), and honestly, you’re positioned perfectly to explore the island without dealing with the crowds in the south. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra night because I wasn’t ready to leave – partly because of the place itself, but mostly because I’d found this little corner of the island that felt authentic. If you’re looking for a proper local experience rather than another generic resort stay, this is it.

  Absolutamente todo, apartamento perfecto, el anfitrión super atento y a nuestra disposición , las instalaciones modernas y en perfecto estado y lo mejor de todo las vistas. Lo recomiendo 100×100

• Juliane from Germany (10/10)

  Die Wohnung hat alles, was man braucht. Juan Carlos und Conchy haben wirklich an alles gedacht und speziell bei der Küchenausstattung fehlt es an nichts. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist zum Verlieben. Pool und kostenfreier Garagenplatz sind ein Plus. Letzteres haben wir nicht genutzt, da wir immer einen freien Parkplatz auf der Straße gefunden haben – waren aber auch noch in der Off-Season da. Bett und Kopfkissen sehr bequem!
  
  In der Nähe der Unterkunft gibt es einen Trimm-Dich-Platz, sodass man morgens eine Sportsession einschieben und danach direkt im Meer schwimmen gehen kann.
  
  Wir würden das Apartment jederzeit wieder buchen – klare Empfehlung!
