VV Viera 9

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – VV Viera 9 isn’t going to blow your mind with luxury, but there’s something genuinely charming about this little spot in Candelaria that keeps drawing me back. It’s tucked away on Calle Aroba, which is actually perfect because you’re close enough to everything but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually sleep at night. The address says “puerta 9” and you’ll know what that means when you get there – it’s essentially apartment-style accommodation, which I actually prefer because it feels more like staying in a real Spanish neighborhood than some sterile hotel complex.

What really sold me on this place is how it sits in Candelaria proper, not some resort bubble. You can walk to the famous Basilica – you know, the one with the Black Madonna that brings pilgrims from all over the Canary Islands – in about ten minutes, but you’re also positioned perfectly for exploring the less touristy parts of the coast. The owner clearly knows the area because they’ve got these little touches throughout the space that show real thought went into making guests comfortable. I mean, the morning light that filters through the windows is just… well, it’s the kind of thing that makes you want to linger over coffee instead of rushing out to tick off attractions. The rooms have this lived-in quality that feels authentic – not Instagram-perfect, but genuinely welcoming in a way that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than just passing through.

Parking is actually straightforward here, which anyone who’s driven around Tenerife’s coastal towns will appreciate. The check-in was refreshingly uncomplicated, and honestly, the whole experience feels more personal than what you’d get at a chain hotel. The 3-star rating is spot-on – you’re not getting a spa or room service, but everything works well and the location gives you real value. From here, you can easily hit Santa Cruz if you want city energy, or head up toward the mountains for hiking, or just wander Candelaria’s waterfront when the evening light hits those volcanic cliffs just right. The locals tend to eat dinner late, so the neighborhood stays pleasantly quiet during typical tourist dinner hours, then comes alive with genuine Spanish rhythm later in the evening. It’s that kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because it just feels right – comfortable without being fancy, authentic without trying too hard.
