Ocean Wave

Ocean Wave Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Ocean Wave, you immediately understand why this four-star hotel has such devoted fans. The lobby feels refreshingly unpretentious — modern without being cold, with those floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the dramatic coastline of Acantilado de los Gigantes. I mean, the name literally translates to “Cliff of the Giants,” and honestly, it delivers on that promise. You’re perched right on these massive volcanic cliffs that drop straight into the Atlantic, and the views are… well, they’re the kind that make you stop mid-conversation.

Location Magic

Here’s what I love about this spot — it’s tucked away on Calle las Adelfas, which means you get that secluded feeling without being completely cut off from civilization. The nearby Los Gigantes marina is just a short walk down (though it’s definitely a walk back up), and you’ve got direct access to some of the best whale watching excursions in the Canaries. What really struck me is how couples seem to gravitate here — there’s something about watching the sunset paint those cliffs that just works for romance, you know? The 9.1 location rating from couples makes total sense once you’re actually standing on that terrace.

The Accommodation Experience

My room faced the ocean, which I’d absolutely recommend splurging for if you can. The balcony becomes your private theater for the daily dolphin show that happens just offshore — I’m not exaggerating, they’re out there most mornings. The space itself is thoughtfully designed, with that clean Canarian aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard. Air conditioning works perfectly (crucial in summer), and the bathroom actually has decent water pressure, which isn’t always a given in clifftop hotels.

Dining and Amenities

The hotel restaurant surprised me — I was expecting typical resort food, but they actually source a lot locally. Fresh fish from the nearby ports, and they do this Canarian potato dish that’s become sort of addictive. Breakfast happens on the terrace when weather permits, and watching the morning light hit those cliffs while you’re having coffee is honestly one of those simple pleasures that sticks with you. There’s also a decent pool area, though let’s be real — with the ocean right there, it’s more about having options.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.4 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects something real about this place. Ocean Wave gets the balance right between being comfortable and letting the natural setting be the star. You’re not fighting crowds for the best sunset spot, the staff actually remembers your name after a day or two, and there’s this relaxed vibe that makes you want to extend your stay. It’s particularly perfect if you’re looking to disconnect a bit — the dramatic landscape has a way of putting daily stress into perspective, and the hotel supports that rather than overwhelming it with unnecessary bells and whistles.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Tenerife at least three months ahead for major events like Carnival and summer holidays, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near popular beach resorts.

• Jane from United Kingdom (10/10)

  This is a very comfortable apartment, it has everything you could need, very near bars and restaurants, but on a quiet road. The terrace is very large with the most beautiful sea view, the sunsets are fabulous. We would return, we had a very enjoyable stay.

  Location really excellent.

• Wiktor from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Terrace and the view of the sunset is amazing! When you open the sliding door it creates a large open space with a sea view.

• Mairi from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Everything was perfect! The apartment is close to the bars and restaurants in Los Gigantes yet is peaceful and quiet. It has everything you need inside the apartment and has a great balcony with an amazing view! Although the sun isn’t on the balcony till mid day, the pool gets the sun early so we went there in the morning. We loved our stay here and will definitely return!

• Roel from Netherlands (8/10)

  Het prachtige uitzicht en de ligging.

• Jón from Iceland (9/10)

  Frábært hús og aðstaða. Staðsetning góð. Notuðum aldrei sundlaugina þar sem hún er frekar langt frá húsinu, þarf að labba niður 2 húsaraðir til að komast í hana. En heilt yfir mjög gott. Myndi mæla með!!

• Markus from Switzerland (9/10)

  Die Lage mit dem totalen Blick aufs Meer war wunderschön. Auch der Strand und ein Pool waren fussläufig zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung mit 2 Schlafzimmern und 2 vollständigen Badezimmern empfanden wir als sehr komfortabel. Die Küche erfüllte alle Wünsche.

• Carsten from Denmark (10/10)

  Stor velindrettet lejlighed med flot udsigt og perfekt belligenhed. Stuen der kan åbnes helt op til den store balkon

• Jeannette from Spain (9/10)

  Die Aussicht auf die Acantilados, den kleinen Hafen und La Gomera war atemberaubend.
