Marine Studio on the Beach

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Marine Studio on the Beach? It’s actually right there on Paseo las Americas – and I mean literally steps from the water – but it doesn’t feel like one of those touristy beachfront places that’s all show and no substance. When I first walked into the lobby, honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the name (Marine Studio sounds a bit generic, doesn’t it?), but the whole vibe just clicked immediately.

The thing is, Icod de los Vinos isn’t your typical Tenerife beach destination – most people rush straight to the southern resorts – so finding a proper 4-star spot here feels like discovering something locals have been keeping to themselves. The building itself, Edificio Tili, sits perfectly positioned where you can actually hear the waves from your room, which… well, some beachfront hotels promise that and deliver traffic noise instead. Here, it’s the real deal. I stayed during what should’ve been a busy period in spring, and the place never felt crowded or chaotic. The staff genuinely seemed to know guests by name after day two, which is rare these days.

What really impressed me – and this is coming from someone who’s stayed at way too many hotels – is how they’ve managed to feel both polished and unpretentious. The rooms are thoughtfully designed (good lighting for actually reading, outlets where you need them, that sort of thing), and the whole place has this relaxed elegance that works whether you’re there for a romantic getaway or just need a proper base for exploring the north coast. The location is perfect for getting to the famous Drago Milenario tree, which is literally a five-minute walk, and if you’re into the local wine scene – I mean, you’re in Icod de los Vinos, after all – there are some fantastic little bodegas within easy reach that the front desk will point you toward. Parking was surprisingly easy too, which anyone who’s driven around Tenerife’s coastal towns will appreciate. The 9.6 rating honestly makes sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place on the island, but everything they do, they do really well. If you’re looking for that authentic Canarian coastal experience without sacrificing comfort, this is exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble across.

• Exceptional! – Caroline from United Kingdom – 10 February 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect apartment. Beautiful view, peaceful location, very helpful and friendly host. The attention to detail makes the apartment a real home from home, although it is small, it has everything you need for a long stay. I don’t drive, so being right across the street from the bus stop, which takes you into Icod in around 10 minutes, was very handy. The host provided lots of useful local information, and was extremely helpful in allowing both an early check in and later check out. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything was perfect!

• I highly recommend it if you look for peace quiet and privacy – Fryderyk from Poland – 27 December 2024 (10/10)

  The flat was very well equipped, there was everything you’d need. Juana was very helpful and friendly. The view was stunning, eating breakfast at the terrace with a view on the bey and cliffs is the best way to start your day on this magical island. There’s not much around in the town but it’s quiet and lovely

• Fantastic place to stay – Damian from United Kingdom – 7 January 2024 (10/10)

  We just back home after two weeks holiday in Marine Studio and Im still impresed by how lovely, very clean and very well equiped this apartament is. It is in quiet location so you can relax there and great base to strat exploring the island from. View from the balcony and the sound of the see is fantastic (and the roosters too lol), missing it already.
  Thank you very much- loved our time there

• Exceptionally good apartment – Janet from United Kingdom – 13 December 2023 (10/10)

  This is very well decorated, well equipped, homely, top (6th) floor studio apartment. Comfortable double bed with good quality bedding. Fully equipped kitchen with 4-ring hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine and kettle. On arrival there was complimentary water, olives, and a selection of cakes/biscuits. There was also a wide selection of tea bags, which I enjoyed trying out! The TV is a large flat screen and has a variety of channels, and access to Netflix was available. The WiFI quality was reliable. The shower was great – good pressure hot water, and shampoo, etc supplied. Nice soft towels. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean. There is also a washing machine (with instruction booklet in the apartment). The owner, Juana, met me at the apartment block entrance to hand over the key, and despite not being able to speak each others language, we got by. She was very attentive and helpful. The location is on a relatively quiet bay, served by an hourly bus. The larger town of Icod is a great base for travelling to other parts of the island. I didn't hear the neighbours, so the soundproofing must have been reasonably good, but, as in other reviews, the cockerel up on the hill starts up as early as 5am. And, the main feature, is the fantastic view from the balcony, particularly lovely as the sun sets.
  
  What could be improved: There was nothing I could fault. – only the cockerel alarm call.

• Wonderful – Ioan from Romania – 22 June 2023 (10/10)

  Excellent room equipped with everything that you may need, thank you very much Juana!
