Summer Breeze

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Summer Breeze? It’s tucked away on Calle Mequinez, which honestly sounds like just another narrow street in Puerto de la Cruz until you realize you’re maybe a three-minute walk from the main action but completely removed from the tourist chaos. I mean, you can still hear the waves from Playa Jardín if you really listen, but you’re not dealing with the constant hum of beach bars and street vendors that can drive you nuts when you’re trying to sleep.

The hotel itself feels like someone actually thought about what travelers need – and I don’t just mean the obvious stuff. Sure, it’s got that solid 4-star foundation (decent-sized rooms, reliable AC, proper water pressure), but there are these little touches that make sense. The lobby doesn’t try to be some grand statement piece; it’s just comfortable with good lighting for actually reading maps or hotel info. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, no upselling or lengthy presentations about timeshares. The staff seemed to know the area genuinely well too – when I asked about getting to Los Realejos for hiking, the guy at reception didn’t just hand me a generic brochure but actually explained which bus to catch and where to buy a proper bocadillo for the trail.

What really sold me on the place was how it handles the balance between being in Puerto de la Cruz but not being overwhelmed by it. You’re close enough to walk to Plaza del Charco for dinner (honestly, about eight minutes if you don’t get distracted by the shops), but Calle Mequinez stays pretty quiet even during peak season. The rooms facing the street don’t get hammered by noise, which is saying something in a town where delivery trucks start their rounds at what feels like dawn. I actually liked the slightly older feel of the building – it has character without being shabby, and the balconies are real balconies, not those tiny ledges some hotels try to pass off. The whole place just feels… settled, I guess? Like it’s been doing this hospitality thing long enough to know what works without constantly trying to reinvent itself. For the price point and that 8.3 rating, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for without any unpleasant surprises.

Reviews

• Great location – Agnieszka from United Kingdom – 21 March 2025 (9/10)

  The location is great, close to the free car park and supermarket (which we only discovered after two days!). Nice little apartment!
  
  What could be improved: The apartment was comfortable, but I didn’t realise I booked the one on the first floor, which had no seaview…
  The washing machine was very old, I tried to do the wash, it didn’t drain and got stuck in the program. I think it’s better to remove it as it is safety hazard.

• Couple of nights in the North – Liam from United Kingdom – 11 February 2025 (9/10)

  Ideal location, close to good restaurants and seafront. Parking available in street nearby. Staff on hand via telephone. Coffee pods in cupboard and good selection of cutlery and cookware. Spacious open plan kitchen/living area.
  
  What could be improved: The staircase after a long day

• Superb – Helena from Estonia – 5 February 2025 (9/10)

  Nice and clean appartment with great view to the sea. Great varietzy of restaurants in front of the house and close by.
  Well equipped with everything you need during your stay.
  
  What could be improved: There is a lot of stairs, so it may be a bit tricky for travellers with a lot of luggage and small children. Parking lot is not so close and there may not be free spaces during rush hours.

• Nice place at a great location. Lots of space. – Dias from Czech Republic – 16 September 2024 (8/10)

  The location in the city centre and close to the free parking area, many good restaurants around. Well equipped kitchen and washing machine in the bathroom.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was clean but the shower, it needed some extra care…

• Very good – Wolffel from Germany – 9 April 2024 (8/10)

  Location and size of the apartment
  
  What could be improved: The balcony, it was none to sit. Only a French balcony

• super nice! – Francesca from Netherlands – 24 January 2024 (8/10)

  location, size of apartment and the kitchen facilities
  
  What could be improved: we expected a balcony / terrace but it must have been mistaken.
  the water pressure for the shower was also very low.

• Very good – Lucia from Ireland – 2 January 2024 (8/10)

  Lovely, well equipped apartment, host very responsive and accommodating to last minute requests
  
  What could be improved: Whilst the apartment is in an excellent location it's worth noting that the fairground across the road is VERY loud and would prevent you from keeping windows open until it ends (approx 10.30pm)

• Our apartment was spacious and had everything we needed and was quiet during the night. – George from United Kingdom – 7 March 2023 (8/10)

  Very close to the harbour, supermarkets, restaurants and the main square.
  
  What could be improved: Our booking was booked with a balcony and seaview, unfortunately Jesus told us due to an error, the upstairs apartment with these facilities had been given to someone else.

• Great stay. – Andrew from United Kingdom – 10 January 2023 (8/10)

  Very central.
  
  Passcodes on the building and apartment doors made going to the beach without valuables very easy.
  
  What could be improved: Noise from the funfair running until midnight some nights. Not the owner’s fault, of course, and we were there around New Year’s I suppose. Wouldn’t bother adults, just younger kids.

• magic end of the year – Mihai from Romania – 8 January 2023 (9/10)

  central location,10 min.to playa de jardin.13 min.to Martianez complex,2 min.supermarket;5 min.tree city parking
