Hotel-Apartamento Las Olas

We had a lovely stay at the hotel, it has a very relaxed feel to it. Hanging out by the pool was really pleasant something I've often found a challenge in other hotels. The beach wasn't too far away, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes nearby. A 10 minute bus ride to Santa Cruz which was well worth a visit. Even the incoming and outgoing planes added excitement and didn't bother us too much. I'd been a bit worried about being so close to the airport. I loved the view and watching huge cruise ships arriving in Santa Cruz Puerto every few days. Overall a really relaxing holiday, just what we wanted and needed. Already on arrival at the airport you could sense the chilled atmosphere of the island. Food at the hotel was more on the simple side but good. We asked reception for a coffee maker and additional coat hangers when we arrived and these were delivered to our apartment within the hour. A cockerel outside our apartment loudly announced sunrise at 7.15am every day, going on for about half an hour, no sleep possible after that, it was as entertaining as it was relentless. Would definitely go back to the hotel. We had paid extra for the seaview and it was well worth it.

The location of the hotel was very good for access to local restaurants, the bus stop and a couple of shops including a small Spar and a Hyperdino (which is just a very small convenience store). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was fine, but the mattresses on the twin beds were worn through (we could feel the metal of the springs), and the kitchen equipment was rather sparse compared with other similar hotel room kitchenettes (for example no spatula or suitable utensil for cooking in the frying pan, no grater or sieve or vegetable knife).
