Coqueto piso a 2 min de la playa

Hotel Description

You know what? When I first saw the name “Coqueto piso a 2 min de la playa,” I honestly thought it was one of those too-good-to-be-true listings. But walking down Calle la Matanza in El Escobonal, I realized this little place actually delivers on that promise. Two minutes to the beach isn’t marketing speak here—it’s literally a quick stroll past maybe three houses and you’re hitting sand. The whole El Escobonal area has this quiet, residential vibe that’s completely different from the tourist chaos you get in other parts of Tenerife. I mean, you’re still close enough to everything (Los Cristianos is maybe a 15-minute drive), but there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels more like a neighborhood than a resort strip.

The apartment itself is pretty straightforward—it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect luxury, but honestly, that 8.3 rating makes sense once you settle in. The owners clearly put thought into the little things that actually matter when you’re traveling. The kitchen has proper coffee stuff (not just those sad instant packets), the shower pressure is surprisingly decent, and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes like some places I’ve stayed. What really got me was how quiet it is at night—you’d think being close to the beach means party noise, but this stretch of coast is way more chill. Sometimes you’ll hear the waves if the windows are open, which is actually pretty nice. The only thing I’d mention is that parking can be a bit tricky during peak season (July and August get crowded), but most of the year you’ll find spots along the street without much hassle.

Here’s the thing about staying in El Escobonal that the guidebooks don’t really tell you—you’re perfectly positioned to explore the less touristy parts of the south coast. That little coastal path that runs behind the apartment? It connects to some really beautiful walking routes that most visitors never find. Plus, you’re close enough to the TF-1 highway that getting to places like Playa de las Américas or even up to Teide National Park is totally doable without the nightmare traffic you’d face staying right in the main resort areas. The local bus service is actually pretty reliable too, though having a car definitely opens up more options. I’d say this place works best for people who want beach access without the resort scene—couples looking for a quiet base, maybe families with older kids who don’t need constant entertainment. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s solid, well-located, and the kind of place you’d actually recommend to friends without any major caveats.
