Checkin Concordia Playa
Mountain or ocean views, steps from the lake
About this hotel
Rooms look out over either the mountains or the Atlantic, and the hotel's own outdoor pool sits a short walk from Lago Martiánez. That single detail shapes most of a stay here: mornings spent around the hotel's own pool, then a short trip to Lago Martiánez itself once the day warms up, rather than treating the lake as a full day's outing. Puerto de la Cruz's mild climate means outdoor time works for most of the year, and the town's seafront promenade, restaurants and Plaza del Charco are all within easy reach on foot, so a car isn't essential for daily life here. There's nothing flashy about the set-up, which is exactly the point: a functional, well-placed base for a trip built mostly around the lake and the beach.

Our take
Checkin Concordia Playa suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-located base near Lago Martiánez rather than a destination resort in its own right. The appeal here is proximity and value rather than polish: guests trade a wider entertainment programme for a shorter walk to the lake and the seafront. Anyone after a quiet, minimalist stay with little beyond the essentials should look further along the coast, but for the price and the location, this hotel does the job well.
- ✓Book directly with the hotel or well ahead in peak summer weeks, when rooms at this price and location sell out fastest.
- ✓Ask at check-in about pool and facility hours, since some are seasonal or run on a different schedule outside peak months.
- ✓Pack for a short walk to Lago Martiánez and the seafront rather than relying on a taxi for every trip out.

Why guests love itOur room at Checkin Concordia Playa looked straight over the Atlantic, and Lago Martiánez was close enough for an after-dinner walk most nights, about six or seven minutes along the seafront. We asked for a sea-facing room specifically since half the hotel looks toward the mountains instead, worth confirming at booking if the view matters to you. The hotel's own outdoor pool was quieter than the lake in the mornings, which suited us before the crowds arrived. A no-nonsense, well-placed choice for the price.
