Coral Teide Mar
The higher-volume alternative to FERGUS, same family mix
About this hotel
Rating-wise, Coral Teide Mar sits within a tenth of a point of FERGUS Puerto de la Cruz, at 7.9 out of 10, but its review count is considerably higher, over 1,500 against FERGUS's 1,000-plus, suggesting a larger or longer-established property. Both hotels cover the same three axes that matter most for families near Lago Martiánez: a children's pool, suite-style rooms and a spa, all within the cluster of addresses close to Avenida de Colón and a walk from Playa Jardín. Reading through this hotel's reviews rather than treating the axis list alone as the deciding factor is worth the time, since two hotels can share the same three tags and still feel different once you're actually staying there. For most families, Coral Teide Mar and FERGUS end up being a coin toss decided by room availability on the actual travel dates.
- Large base of guest reviews
- Family-suite-style rooms
- Kids' pool on site
- Spa and wellness access
Our take
Coral Teide Mar is essentially the other half of a two-hotel tie in this update: same kids' pool, same family-suite angle, same spa access as FERGUS Puerto de la Cruz, just with a larger pool of guest reviews behind it. We wouldn't steer a family firmly toward one over the other; check both on your actual dates and let price or room type make the call instead.
- ✓Read a handful of recent reviews at both Coral Teide Mar and FERGUS before booking, since the axis tags alone won't tell them apart.
- ✓Ask specifically what 'family suite' means at this property, connecting rooms or one larger room, before assuming it matches what you pictured.
- ✓Book whichever of the two has better room availability on your dates rather than agonising over which one is marginally better.
Why we love it
- Matches FERGUS Puerto de la Cruz on kids' pool, suites and spa.
- A larger base of guest reviews than most hotels in this group.
- Sits within the same walkable cluster near Lago Martiánez.
- A solid second option when FERGUS is fully booked.
Why guests love itWe actually booked Coral Teide Mar after almost choosing FERGUS down the road, mostly because it had rooms free on our dates and FERGUS didn't. Looking back, I don't think we lost anything by going with the second choice: the kids' pool kept our son busy most mornings, the suite gave us a proper separate space in the evenings, and the spa was a nice surprise once the children were in bed. If you're torn between the two, just book whichever one is actually available.
