Hotel Best Semiramis
Between Playa Jardín and Lago Martiánez, with its own kids' pool
About this hotel
Hotel Best Semiramis is named directly on this site's kids-splash-zone coverage of Lago Martiánez, alongside H10 Tenerife Playa, as one of the hotels close enough to both the lake and the seafront to use a hotel pool as a warm-up or wind-down around a lake day rather than a substitute for it. Its La Paz district position also puts Playa Jardín's black sand within walking reach, giving it a genuine dual position that several other hotels in this group cannot claim, either beach-district or lake-adjacent but rarely both at once. The children's pool sits apart from the main adult pool, useful for a family with a mix of ages who want to split the group without anyone missing out. With 4,057 guest reviews on file, it is one of the more heavily reviewed properties near Lago Martiánez, giving a fuller picture of consistency than smaller, more niche hotels in the same group. Between the beach, the lake and a dedicated children's pool, it covers more of a family's daily options from one address than most.
- Separate children's pool
- Walking distance to Playa Jardín and Lago Martiánez
- Over 4,000 guest reviews on file
- Spa and wellness area
Our take
This is a strong pick for a family who cannot decide between a beach stay and a lake stay, since it genuinely offers both within a reasonable walk. The separate children's pool means a toddler's morning does not have to dictate everyone else's plans, and the review volume gives confidence that the experience holds up beyond a handful of good weeks. It suits families who want options built into one stay rather than choosing a single, narrower focus.
- ✓Start the day at the hotel's own children's pool for a toddler's early swim, then walk to Playa Jardín or Lago Martiánez once the group is ready to head out.
- ✓Decide in advance whether a beach day or a lake day comes first; both are reachable, but doing both on the same day means an early start.
- ✓Book ahead for school holiday weeks, since the combination of separate kids' pool and dual beach-lake access makes this one popular within this group.
Why we love it
- A genuinely dual position, walking distance to both Playa Jardín and Lago Martiánez.
- A children's pool kept separate from the main adult pool.
- One of the most reviewed hotels in this group, a large sample to judge consistency.
- Family-suite room configurations for groups wanting more than a standard double.
Why guests love itWe split most days here between the hotel's own children's pool in the morning, when our youngest was still half asleep and not ready for a real outing, and either Playa Jardín or Lago Martiánez once everyone had properly woken up. Having both within walking distance meant we never felt like we were choosing one over the other for the whole trip. The kids' pool being separate from the main one also meant no negotiating with sunbathing guests over splash zones. It is a busier hotel than some of the smaller options nearby, but for a family wanting real flexibility, that trade felt worth it.
