OBSIDIAN Ocean Blue Radazul

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to OBSIDIAN Ocean Blue Radazul on Calle Pizarro, I wasn’t expecting much from this little pocket of Tenerife. Radazul isn’t exactly the postcard-famous part of the island, you know? But that’s actually what makes this place work so well. You’re getting that authentic Canarian coastal vibe without the tourist circus that swarms places like Playa de las Américas.

The hotel itself sits in this quiet residential area where you can actually hear the ocean instead of just seeing it from your balcony (which, honestly, is rarer than you’d think). The staff here gets that perfect balance – they’re genuinely helpful without hovering, and they know the neighborhood well enough to point you toward the good local spots. I mean, there’s this tiny family-run restaurant about three blocks down that serves the best papas arrugadas I’ve had on the island, and I only found out about it because the front desk guy mentioned it during check-in. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star – clean, comfortable, with that modern Spanish hotel aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard. What I really appreciated was the attention to soundproofing; even though you’re close to the main road, you’re not getting woken up by early morning traffic or late-night revelers.

Here’s the thing about staying in Radazul – you’re perfectly positioned if you want to explore the real Tenerife. The beach here is more of a local hangout spot with black volcanic sand (bring water shoes, trust me), and it’s where families from nearby Santa Cruz come on weekends. You’re also about a 20-minute drive from some incredible hiking trails that most tourists never see because they’re too busy hitting the southern resort areas. The hotel has decent parking, which matters more than you might think when you’re trying to explore the island’s interior. And honestly, the 9.2 rating makes sense once you’ve been there – it’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but everything just works the way it should. The breakfast is actually good (real coffee, not hotel lobby swill), the WiFi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and the housekeeping team clearly takes pride in their work. If you’re the type who wants to experience Tenerife beyond the all-inclusive resort bubble, this place gives you a proper base without making you feel like you’re roughing it.

Reviews

• Awesome. – Adam from Poland – 17 June 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was great. Apartment looks and feels new. Nice place as a starting point to visit north of Tenerife.
  Nice View from the balcony, but it would be better from higher floor 🙂
  
  What could be improved: Finding a parking spot in the evening was terrible.

• Perfect luxurious apartment with a perfect ocean view – Henk from Netherlands – 17 February 2025 (9/10)

  The room, the view, the beds, 3 rooms, 2 baths, it was all perfect and felt luxurious, worth the higher price. As it is on a steep slope, you could go to the top floor and cross the street for the supermarket and a perfect breakfast. (Salmon/avocado toast for breakfast is so good!) The view is to the south which makes the balcony a great place.
  
  What could be improved: Because of the steep hill location on the beach front you have to walk down to get to the beach and that will go for a lot of apartments. In this season we managed to find a car parking spot near the apartment building all the time. Could be more remote in high season.

• Superb – Anna from Poland – 3 February 2025 (9/10)

  Nice view, comfortable bed, cleanlines and good cosmetics.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Superb – Aljoša from Croatia – 20 January 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: It would be great if there were more kitchen utilities available.

• Exceptional – Kristina from Ukraine – 16 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment looks so good, clean and new close to the beach.. I was pleasantly surprised that even cosmetic was so good there. It was rituals. Usually I bring a lot of my own cosmetic. Because I don't like hotel's.

• Exceptional – Lionel from Spain – 28 August 2024 (10/10)

  Such a nice location. You can see the ocean the whole day, enjoy the sea breeze anytime. A small market is at walking distance and you can get the highway easily to move around the island. Super recommended

• It would have been better with parking and just simple amenities – Claudio from Australia – 28 January 2025 (5/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: There was 5 only one bottle of water left for us and no coffee pods or washing detergent at the place. Also the parking was empty all week but was not allowed to park inside and parking there is awful
