Complejo BLUESEA Puerto Resort compuesto por Hotel Canarife y Bonanza Palace
Two wings, tennis courts, room for groups
About this hotel
Spread across two buildings with sea or mountain views, this resort runs outdoor pools, tennis, a spa sauna and children's entertainment. 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. Families tend to do well here, since the layout and facilities lean toward flexibility for different ages rather than a purely couples-focused set-up.

Our take
Complejo BLUESEA Puerto Resort compuesto por Hotel Canarife y Bonanza Palace suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-located base near Lago Martiánez rather than a destination resort in its own right. Families travelling with children of different ages should find the layout flexible enough to work for the whole group. 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 itTwo families, one booking: Complejo BLUESEA Puerto Resort split us across its two buildings, Canarife and Bonanza Palace, without anyone feeling squeezed into a single room. The kids' entertainment programme freed up two full afternoons for the adults, one of which we spent on the tennis courts instead of at the pool for once. Lago Martiánez was a manageable walk of ten to twelve minutes, doable with strollers on the flatter stretches. Not a boutique stay, but genuinely built for bigger family groups who need space to spread out.
