Los atardeceres más bellos del Sauzal

Hotel Description

You know what strikes you first about Los atardeceres más bellos del Sauzal? The name actually delivers on its promise – those sunsets really are something else from this spot. I mean, when you’re staying right on Calle San Nicolás, you’re basically perched on one of the best vantage points in all of Sauzal to watch the sky turn into this incredible canvas of oranges and purples over the Atlantic. The hotel sits at just the right elevation where you catch those views without being so high up that you feel disconnected from the town below.

What I love about this place is how it manages to feel properly local while still giving you that polished 4-star experience. The staff here actually know the area – like, really know it. They’ll point you toward the little family-run restaurants tucked away in the back streets (there’s this incredible place about three blocks down that does the best papas arrugadas you’ll ever taste), and they understand that most guests aren’t just passing through but want to really experience this slice of Tenerife. The rooms are honestly well-designed, with that clean, modern aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard to be trendy. And the beds? Actually comfortable – you know how hit-or-miss hotel beds can be, but these feel like they invested in quality mattresses.

Sauzal itself is sort of this perfect middle ground between the touristy chaos of Puerto de la Cruz and the sleepy villages further inland. You’re maybe a 10-minute walk from the main plaza where locals gather in the evenings, and there’s this lovely coastal path that winds along the cliffs – perfect for morning walks when the air is still cool and crisp. The hotel’s location on San Nicolás puts you right in the heart of the residential area, so you hear actual life happening around you (church bells, neighbors chatting, kids playing) rather than just tourist noise. Parking can be a bit tricky on the narrow streets, but the hotel sorts that out for you, which honestly saves a lot of stress. The 9.1 rating makes sense when you experience the little touches – like how they remember your coffee preference after day two, or how they’ll actually call ahead to restaurants to make reservations in Spanish when your pronunciation of the local spots is, well, questionable. It’s not the flashiest place you’ll ever stay, but it’s the kind of spot where you settle in and think, “Yeah, this feels right.”
