Meliá Costa Atlantis Tenerife
Seafront wellness stay right by the lake
About this hotel
Meliá's Costa Atlantis property sits on the Avenida Colón strip that runs along Puerto de la Cruz's seafront, in the same stretch that gives the town's hotels their easy walk to Lago Martiánez and the black-sand Playa Jardín. Unlike several hotels in this group, it carries no family-suite tag in our listing, so the room stock reads as conventional hotel rooms rather than apartment-style layouts with a kitchenette, and its sole marked strength is a dedicated wellness and spa area rather than a children's pool or playground. That makes it a fit for couples or families who want proper hotel service, daily housekeeping and a spa to fall back on after a day at the lake, rather than the self-sufficiency of an apartment complex. With 579 guest reviews on file, it has a broader base to judge consistency against than the smaller, more niche properties nearby, and its seafront position means the walk to Lago Martiánez rarely takes more than a few minutes.
- Direct Avenida Colón seafront position
- Wellness and spa area
- Easy walk to Playa Jardín and Lago Martiánez
- Full-service hotel rooms
Our take
This is the pick for anyone who wants Lago Martiánez on their doorstep without giving up hotel service. The wellness and spa area does real work on a cooler or windier day when the lake's open-air pools feel less inviting, and being right on Avenida Colón means no daily walk of any real length to reach the water. It suits couples and families who prefer a made-up room and a proper front desk over cooking their own breakfast.
- ✓Book a spa slot for a rest day rather than a swimming day; it works best as the alternative to the lake, not a daily habit alongside it.
- ✓Ask for a room facing away from Avenida Colón if you are a light sleeper, since the seafront strip stays busy into the evening.
- ✓Use the hotel's seafront position to reach Lago Martiánez before the pools get busy in the late morning.
Why we love it
- Right on the Avenida Colón seafront strip, an easy walk from Lago Martiánez.
- A proper wellness and spa area, useful when the open-air lake pools feel less inviting.
- Full hotel service for anyone who does not want a self-catering stay.
- A large enough review base to judge it on more than a handful of opinions.
Why guests love itWe chose this one mainly for the location, and it delivered: down to Lago Martiánez in under five minutes, back for a shower and a rest before dinner without any real trek. My husband used the spa twice while I watched the kids at the lake, which worked well as a way to split a day without either of us feeling short-changed. It is a hotel rather than an apartment, so do not expect a kitchenette, but for a location-first stay it did exactly what we needed.
