This 4 star hotel is just a short stroll from the northern Tenerife town of Puerto de la Cruz. Its neighbour is the 10 hectare Taoro Park, boasting lush greenery and cascading waterfalls. Guests of any age are welcome here but this 182 room resort is best suited to couples, groups of friends and single travellers. The heated outdoor pool provides the perfect place to enjoy a swim whatever month of the year it is. Alternatively, stay dry and play a game of tennis or petanque. There’s also the opportunity to work out in the gym or to get a relaxing massage.

Start and end the day with appetising Canarian and international cuisine at TRH Taoro Garden’s buffet restaurant. The hotel offers Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and All Inclusive. Local alcoholic and soft drinks are usually served throughout the day. Maybe enjoy one in the TV lounge while watching a football match?

Standard rooms boast both air conditioning and heating. You’ll also have your own balcony or terrace, plus both a bath and a shower. You get a choice of views too - maybe you’ll go for the Orotava Valley or the Atlantic Ocean. Alternatively, choose the Teide option and you’ll get to see the island’s biggest landmark from the comfort of your own room.

If you don’t fancy the walk into Puerto de la Cruz, you can take advantage of the hotel’s bus service that operates several times a day (excluding Sundays and public holidays). Within the town you’ll find an abundance of bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as black sand beaches. Just outside the centre there’s the attractive Botanical Gardens, where the star of the show is a 200 year old fig tree. And you shouldn’t miss Casa del Plátano, where you can see banana plantations and learn how our favourite yellow fruit is produced. If you’re hiring a car, choose between taking a scenic drive around the Orotava Valley and venturing up Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak.
