Apartamentos Masaru
Kitchenette apartments, the most reviewed stay by the lake
About this hotel
Apartamentos Masaru is one of the two hotels named directly in this site's family-suites coverage of Lago Martiánez, alongside Hotel AF Valle Orotava, as a property that built its rooms around apartment-style layouts rather than a standard hotel double. That means a kitchenette and a separate living area in most units, useful for a family staying more than a few nights who wants to skip eating out at every meal. What sets Masaru apart within that cluster is scale: with over six thousand guest reviews on file, it is by a wide margin the most reviewed hotel in this group, a volume that gives a much steadier read on consistency than a property with a few hundred opinions. It sits within the Avenida Colón family-suite cluster, close enough to walk to Lago Martiánez and the pedestrian streets of the town centre without needing a taxi for the basics of a lake-and-beach stay.
- Apartment-style rooms with kitchenette

- Family-suite cluster near Avenida Colón
- Spa and wellness area
Our take
This is the safe default for a family that wants a kitchenette apartment without gambling on a small, thinly reviewed property. Six thousand reviews is enough volume to smooth out the occasional bad week, and the apartment layout does the same job here as at its family-suite neighbours: somewhere to eat breakfast before the lake and settle a napping toddler without disturbing the rest of the room. It will not feel like a luxury hotel, and that is largely the point for families prioritising space and value over polish.
- ✓Book several months ahead for peak weeks; the review volume here reflects genuine popularity, and rooms go quickly.
- ✓Check whether your unit's kitchenette includes a hob or just a microwave and kettle, since apartment-style stock varies even within one property.
- ✓Use the walk to Lago Martiánez as your default outing; the family-suite cluster around Avenida Colón keeps both the lake and the pedestrian centre within easy reach.
Why we love it
- By far the most reviewed hotel near Lago Martiánez, a genuinely large sample to judge consistency.
- Apartment-style rooms with a kitchenette, built for longer family stays rather than short hotel breaks.
- Part of the walkable family-suite cluster around Avenida Colón.
- A track record built on volume rather than a handful of curated opinions.
Why guests love itWe booked here mostly because of the sheer number of reviews, and it held up: a proper kitchenette meant breakfast sorted before the lake and a quiet dinner after a long pool day rather than hunting for a table with two tired kids. The walk to Lago Martiánez was easy and flat, and the pedestrian streets behind Avenida Colón gave us somewhere to wander in the evening without needing the car. It is not a polished luxury stay, but for a no-surprises family week it did exactly what the reviews promised.
