Hollywood Mirage – Excel Hotels & Resorts

Hollywood Mirage – Excel Hotels & Resorts Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hollywood Mirage – Excel Hotels & Resorts, you immediately get that polished resort vibe without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with four-star properties. The lobby has this sleek, modern design with just enough Hollywood glamour touches to justify the name — think clean lines with some dramatic lighting. It’s actually quite welcoming, and the staff genuinely seems happy to see you rather than just going through the motions.

Location & Getting Around

The hotel sits right in Los Cristianos, which honestly is one of the better spots to base yourself in southern Tenerife. You’re close enough to the beach that it’s an easy walk, but far enough from the main strip that you won’t be dealing with constant noise from bars and clubs. The area around Calle Sierra Nevada is pretty quiet — mostly residential with some local shops scattered about. I mean, you’ll probably want to venture out to explore the coastline and nearby Playa de las Américas, but having this peaceful spot to return to each evening makes a real difference.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was well-appointed without being flashy — clean modern furniture, decent-sized bathroom, and a balcony that actually had a view worth looking at. What I appreciated most was the attention to practical details: good lighting for reading, plenty of outlets near the bed, and air conditioning that worked quietly. The beds are comfortable enough that you’ll sleep well after long days exploring the island, and there’s sufficient storage space for a week-long stay.

Breakfast & Dining

Breakfast here is where the hotel really shines, honestly. They offer both continental and buffet options, and the buffet spread is quite impressive for a property this size. Fresh fruit, local pastries, decent coffee — you know what really stood out though? They actually had some Canarian specialties mixed in with the standard European fare. The restaurant area gets good morning light, and there’s usually space to sit without feeling rushed, even during peak season.

Why Guests Love It

This place seems to attract couples looking for a solid, comfortable base without breaking the bank on accommodation. The whole property has this relaxed, grown-up atmosphere — you won’t find kids running around the pool at all hours, but it’s not stuffy either. The location works particularly well for romantic getaways since Los Cristianos has some lovely waterfront restaurants within walking distance, and the sunsets from this part of the coast are genuinely spectacular. It’s the kind of place where you can have a peaceful morning coffee on your balcony, spend the day exploring Tenerife’s volcanic landscapes or beaches, then come back to a comfortable, well-run hotel that just works.
