Spring Hotel Bitácora

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Spring Hotel Bitácora? It’s actually got this unexpectedly sophisticated vibe for being smack in the middle of Playa de las Americas. I mean, when you’re staying right on California street – literally the main drag where all the action happens – you sort of expect another cookie-cutter tourist trap. But this place surprised me.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without feeling like you’re drowning in it. You can walk to Veronicas Strip in about three minutes (trust me, you’ll hear it on weekend nights even with the windows closed), but the hotel itself feels like a proper retreat from all that chaos. The staff here actually know what they’re doing – check-in was smooth, and they seemed genuinely familiar with the area instead of just reading from a script. I appreciated that they mentioned the quieter entrance near the back when I was hauling my luggage up from the street parking.

What really works about this place is how it balances being a solid four-star property with understanding its surroundings. The rooms are clean and well-maintained – not fancy, but thoughtfully designed with good blackout curtains (you’ll thank me later when the street parties wind down around 3 AM). The bathrooms are actually spacious, which is rare for this part of Tenerife, and the water pressure is decent. Honestly, after staying at some of the older hotels in Los Cristianos where everything feels a bit tired, the Spring Bitácora feels refreshingly well-kept. The pool area gets busy during peak season – we’re talking July and August crowds – but if you grab a spot before 10 AM, you’re golden.

Here’s the thing about staying here: you’re literally a two-minute walk from some of the best restaurants that aren’t just tourist traps. There’s this little Canarian place tucked behind the main strip that most visitors miss completely, and the hotel staff actually pointed it out to me. Plus, if you want to escape to the quieter beaches, Las Vistas is an easy ten-minute stroll, and the coastal path toward Los Cristianos starts practically at your doorstep. The 8.1 rating makes sense – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place on the island, but it delivers exactly what you need for exploring this part of Tenerife. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the building (shocking, I know), and there’s enough common space that you don’t feel cramped even when the hotel’s full. Sure, you’ll pay a bit more than some of the budget options scattered around the area, but the difference in quality and location is worth it, especially if you want to experience the real energy of Playa de las Americas without sacrificing comfort.

Reviews

• Superb – Svava from Iceland – 14 June 2025 (9/10)

  The garden, variety of food, free water & towels by pool

• Ok – Darren from United Kingdom – 1 June 2025 (7/10)

  Excellent food
  
  What could be improved: Some of the staff made us feel unwelcome
  On our last day we had to wait for the table to be set up for breakfast and the waiter threw the cutilery onto the ta me and said to sort ourselves

• Really enjoyed my stay, have been in this part of Tenifire many times and would go back to this Hotel – Abby from Ireland – 11 May 2025 (9/10)

  Really central and great for both couples and families
  
  What could be improved: Bathrooms were a bit worn and towels were not changed everyday (even when left on floor)
  Food at the roof top pool was not great but still was amazing facilities

• Very good – Rosie from United Kingdom – 23 April 2025 (8/10)

  Astro Turf mini football pitch, playground and water slides were excellent. Attentive and fun Mini Club staff. Some pool games offered e.g. water polo, darts, as well as ping pong tournament. The Adults only pool had lots of available beds for those that preferred a quieter experience. Food was good. Free drinks over the Easter weekend was an unexpected bonus. Lifeguards always on duty and no charge to change pool towels. Supermarket across the road stocked anything you need.
  
  What could be improved: Pool bar drinks are over priced. Charged Euro 5.25 per person to swap dinner for lunch was unnecessary. Evening entertainment ok. Not informed of staff strike in advance.

• Had a wonderful vacation with my family. – Rúnar from Iceland – 21 April 2025 (8/10)

  I loved the food, that is breakfast and dinner. I liked what is available for kids, both in terms of the playground and the swimming pool. But also, the people organizing things for the kids and keeping them entertained are awsome. The location of the hotel is great and in general it is great to stay at Bitacora.
  
  What could be improved: There was some renavation going on at my floor the first few days. While, I totally understand the need for that, it would have been nice to be informed beforehand. But this was really not a big issue for me. Later during my trips, the cleaning staff went on strik for two days. Totally understandable and they have every right to fight for their rights. However, again notification from the hotel about this would have been appreciated.

• A perfect holiday hotel for couples families and single holiday makers – Karen from United Kingdom – 15 March 2025 (9/10)

  Very good all round
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Good clean hotel in good location. – Patrick from United Kingdom – 12 February 2025 (8/10)

  Location, outside area,adult pool, plenty of sun beds.
  
  What could be improved: Too loud a music at the pool by the entertainment team.
  No kettle in room.

• Stayed 7nites fantastic hotel – Paul from Ireland – 25 January 2025 (8/10)

  Massive choice for breakfast the biggest I’ve ever seen very clean good location near bus stop
  
  What could be improved: They charged €3 per day for safe in room never experienced this before in a hotel

• Very good – Ar from United Kingdom – 25 October 2024 (8/10)

  Food and facilities were good and staff were more than helpful
  
  What could be improved: The hotel and facilities were great. The only issue we had was that a family who had friends staying at another resort were reserving pool beds for them and bringing them in to use the facilities. Staff at the Bitacora should be noticing this. I also think that parents with Children shouldn't be allowed alcohol around the kids pool when there's 2 adult only pools in the hotel.

• Excellent family holiday – Julia from United Kingdom – 21 September 2024 (8/10)

  Good location very clean and food and drink good
  
  What could be improved: The staff were quite miserable. I think they could learn to smile a little. Particularly the reception staff
