Vistas al mar y mirador 6

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Vistas al mar y mirador 6 – the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know, and honestly, it delivers on that promise. This little three-star spot on Calle Haya is one of those places that punches way above its weight class, which probably explains that impressive 8.8 rating.

The thing about Puerto de la Cruz is that location is everything, and these folks nailed it. You’re literally a stone’s throw from the ocean views (hence the name), but here’s what most people don’t realize – Calle Haya is just quiet enough to avoid the tourist chaos that hits the main drags, especially during those busy winter months when half of northern Europe descends on the Canary Islands. I mean, you can still walk to all the good stuff – the natural pools at Lago Martiánez, the black sand beaches, those little tapas bars that locals actually frequent – but you’re not dealing with the constant street noise and crowds right outside your window.

What really struck me about this place is how they’ve managed to keep that authentic Canarian feel without trying too hard. The building itself has character (you know, the kind of weathered charm that comes from decades of Atlantic salt air), and the staff actually seems to know the area – they’ll point you toward the better hiking trails up toward the Teide, or tell you which restaurants are worth your time versus the tourist traps. The rooms are clean and comfortable, nothing fancy but everything works, and honestly, when you’re spending most of your time exploring the island anyway, that’s exactly what you want. Plus, and this is crucial if you’re planning to rent a car, parking around here isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the port area.

The breakfast situation is solid – proper Spanish coffee, local fruits, and they don’t skimp on the tomatoes and cheese. Small thing, but it matters when you’re starting your day. One heads up though: if you’re planning to visit during Carnival season (February-ish), book way ahead because places like this fill up fast with people who know the area and want to stay somewhere with character instead of those massive resort complexes up the coast. The whole neighborhood comes alive during festivals, and you’ll actually feel like you’re part of the community rather than just another tourist passing through.

What I really appreciate is that this isn’t trying to be something it’s not – it’s a well-run, comfortable place to stay that happens to be perfectly positioned for exploring one of Tenerife’s most interesting towns. The fact that it’s maintained such a high rating tells you something about consistency, which is honestly harder to find than you’d think in this part of the world. If you’re looking for a spa resort with infinity pools and concierge service, keep looking. But if you want a genuine base for exploring Puerto de la Cruz and the northern part of the island, with actual sea views and a neighborhood feel, this is your spot.

Reviews

• Sarah from United Kingdom (9/10)

  This is a lovely apartment in a nice location. Luis and the team have thought about their guest needs while on holiday by providing the key essentials. The apartment is bright and modern, the bedroom and living area is spacious and suitable size for 2 people sharing. Towels and bed linen were plentiful for the duration of stay, small detail such as a proper hairdryer, iceblocks, basic condiments, sufficient cooking equipment for simple meals, hooks on back of door etc. made this feel like a home. On entering the apartment on arrival the table was set and was a welcoming feeling. The hosts were responsive to any queries sent by email or WhatsApp. The shared sun lounge area on the roof is peaceful with great views. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment or Luis and team.
