Hotel Atlantic El Tope

Just spent a week at this hotel. We arrived at 4am and they had food (rolls,pasta,ham and cheese) waiting for us which was a nice touch after a long journey...however when we went to our room which was on -1, we found it to feel quite dingy...the room was lovely but we didn't have a balcony which we felt was an essential...we moved to +1 which was a more dated room but had a lovely big balcony overlooking the pool...we were charged an extra 15 per night but it was worth it. The food was ok...there was always something to eat...the pool was lovely and quiet and we spent alot of time at the pool table.the staff were lovely and friendly. The location is great. There is a big hill to walk up but that helped with all the food we were eating so we didn't mind that and there are plenty of nice shops and bars nearby. My favourite part of the hotel has to be the rooftop bar up on level 7. The coffees are amazing and the views are spectacular. There is a nice atmosphere.it was never too busy and was nice to sit and chill with a nice breeze after a hot day. All in all I would return.

I visited this hotel on a last minute deal but was a bit wary of some of the reviews. However, from the arrival I got great vibes. The receptionist welcomed me with a smile and I loved my room with an amazing Teide view, which was worth the extra as I like to enjoy a relaxing drink on the balcony. There is a kettle in the room but no coffee. To me, the location is perfect. The hotel is situated on a short steep hill or up a few stairs. If you go down, you are near the Martianez shopping centre with Mercadona supermarket for your odds and ends and the seafront. If you go up, you are near Agatha Christie’s stairs, La Paz area and the Botanical garden or in the opposite direction, the Sitio Litre Orchid Garden and Taoro/Sortija park. There is also a bus stop nearby where you can catch a bus to Orotava, La Laguna, Santa Cruz or Icod de los Vinos, etc. I was on half board and enjoyed the food. There is no show cooking but everything that you would usually find in a buffet show cooking, was available. The hot food was constantly replaced. There were many traditional Canarian and Spanish dishes as well as international ones. Once a week, there was cava at the breakfast buffet. What I really appreciated about this hotel was that you can use the swimming pool ‘at your own risk’ until 8pm. The hotel pools in Spain tend to close strictly at 6pm and when I return to the hotel after a day of exploring in the sun, I want to have a refreshing swim later in the day. I have stayed in Puerto de la Cruz four times and the Atlantic El Tope is my hotel of choice.

I cannot recommend this stunning hotel enough! The hotel itself is situated perfectly beside the beautiful beach, it boasts a top of the range amenities. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and proficient. They really go the extra mile. We were celebrating a birthday and cannot wait to return. We have already booked our next stay Nov 3rd this year. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Annemarie x
