Hotel Best Semiramis

Hotel Best Semiramis Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Best Semiramis honestly feels like stepping into one of those upscale resorts you see in magazines — but without the pretentious attitude. This five-star property sits in the La Paz area of Puerto de la Cruz, and I mean, the setting alone is pretty spectacular. You’re perched up enough to get those sweeping ocean views, but still close enough to the action that you won’t feel isolated. The lobby has this elegant, understated luxury vibe — marble floors, tasteful artwork, and staff who actually seem happy to see you.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about the location on Leopoldo Cologan Zulueta — you’re in this quiet residential area called La Paz, which feels worlds away from the tourist crowds, yet you can walk to Puerto de la Cruz’s main attractions in about 15 minutes. The couples who stay here clearly get it (they rate the location 8.7, which honestly makes sense). You’ve got the botanical gardens practically next door, and the black sand beaches of Playa Jardín are an easy stroll downhill. What’s really nice is that you can escape back to this peaceful spot when the town gets too busy.

The Room Experience

My room had this perfect balance of modern comfort and Canarian charm — think clean lines with subtle nods to local culture. The balcony was the real winner though, with views that stretch across the Atlantic toward the mainland. You know what impressed me most? The attention to detail — quality linens, a well-stocked minibar, and a bathroom that actually has decent water pressure (trust me, that’s not always a given in Tenerife). The air conditioning works properly too, which you’ll appreciate during those warm summer evenings.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast spread here is honestly impressive — they’ve got everything from continental basics to full English options, plus vegetarian and gluten-free choices that don’t feel like afterthoughts. I spent most mornings on the terrace with my coffee, watching the sunrise over the mountains. The restaurant serves solid international cuisine with some local Canarian dishes thrown in, though I’d recommend venturing into town for dinner at least once. The pool area is where this place really shines — it’s got that resort feel without being overwhelming, and the spa treatments are genuinely relaxing.

Why Guests Love It

What sets this place apart is how it manages to feel both luxurious and welcoming — no stuffy formality, just genuine hospitality. The 8.2 rating reflects what you actually experience: a well-run hotel that delivers on its promises without trying too hard. Parking is included, which saves you the headache of finding a spot in town, and the staff knows the area well enough to give you real recommendations, not just the obvious tourist spots. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind while still having easy access to everything Puerto de la Cruz offers.

Early hotels booking in Tenerife requires advance planning during peak seasons when visitors flock to enjoy the island’s volcanic beaches, world-class water sports, and Canarian cultural attractions.

• Irene from United Kingdom (8/10)

  The hotel is lovely with fantastic views but it is very noisy with the waves hitting the rocks down below, didnt bother me but my partner was kept awake until he go used to it.
  The food was very nice, we only had breakfast but there was everything you could have wanted and more, even rose cava, if you like a drink at breakfast.
  They could put some more sunbeds out were the sunshines as quiet a lot where in the shade.
  The entertainment was ok, some better than others.
  The balconies dont get any sun on them and all the rooms are sea views, the sun is round the other side of the hotel.

• Rinat from Israel (8/10)

  We spent about a week at the hotel, and the stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The hotel is located on a cliff with a stunning panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean and about a fifteen-minute walk along the beach from the center. The room is not modern designed, but it is large, the bed is extra large and comfortable and the view from the balcony is stunning. The hotel has pools, a gym, a reading room and sitting corners .
  The hotel staff is courteous, doing everything they can to be helpful to guests. The dining room has a relatively good variety of food, including cheeses, cold cuts, and vegetables and more.

• Julian from United Kingdom (9/10)

  The location was fabulous. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean with comfortable sitting out areas both inside and outside. The rooms were very large and the beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows if you needed them. All the staff were friendly and personable from the initial reception to check out. Good customer service was obviously in their DNA! The food was attractive and delicious with plenty of choice at all meal times. Prior to going I had seen some poor reviews about the food choice, but in my experience this was a total nonsense and cannot conceive what those reviewers were talking about. Thank you to the Best Hotel Group and in particular to the Semiramis management and team of staff.
