Relax in Tenerife

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Relax in Tenerife on Avenida Jose Antonio Tavio, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. This little gem sits right in Costa Del Silencio, and the name of the neighborhood actually delivers on its promise – it’s genuinely quiet here, especially compared to the tourist chaos you’ll find in Los Cristianos just a few kilometers away.

The thing about this place is that it gets the fundamentals right without trying to be something it’s not. The rooms are clean (I mean really clean, not just hotel-brochure clean), and honestly, the staff seems to actually care about making your stay decent. I was surprised by how spacious everything felt – the lobby doesn’t have that cramped, budget-hotel vibe you sometimes get. What really sold me though was stepping out onto the terrace areas and realizing you can actually see the ocean from here. It’s not a direct beachfront location, but on clear days you get these lovely glimpses of the Atlantic between the buildings. The walk to the coast is maybe ten minutes if you’re not in a rush, and there’s this nice coastal path that locals use for their evening strolls – you’ll see families out there around sunset, kids on bikes, that sort of authentic island life you don’t always stumble into as a tourist.

Here’s what I appreciated most: the location puts you close enough to everything without being in the thick of it. You’re a short drive from the bigger resort areas if you want restaurants and nightlife, but you can also pop into the local bars where you’ll hear more Spanish than English – always a good sign. Parking was never an issue (miracle in the Canaries, trust me), and the whole area has this relaxed, residential feel that makes you sleep better at night. I mean, after dealing with the usual hotel nonsense of paper-thin walls and hallway conversations at 2 AM, the peace here was honestly refreshing. The only minor thing I’d mention is that you’ll want a rental car or be comfortable with buses if you’re planning to explore the island – it’s not a walk-everywhere kind of setup. But for the price point and the genuine comfort level, this place punches way above its weight class. Sometimes you find these spots that just work, you know?
