Silken Saaj Maar - Adults Only
Rooftop pool steps from San Telmo Beach
About this hotel
This adults-only four-star property runs a rooftop pool and fitness centre a few steps from San Telmo Beach. 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. As an adults-only property, the pace here stays quiet rather than family-oriented, which suits couples and groups of friends looking for a calmer version of a Puerto de la Cruz stay.

Our take
Silken Saaj Maar - Adults Only suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-located base near Lago Martiánez rather than a destination resort in its own right, especially couples wanting a quieter, adults-only atmosphere. 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 itI'll admit we booked Silken Saaj Maar for the rooftop pool alone, and it delivered, sunset drinks up there beat any bar we tried in town. The hotel sits a few steps from San Telmo Beach, which made the walk to Lago Martiánez short, about seven or eight minutes along the coast most mornings. We used the fitness centre more than planned since the pool made us lazy about actual exercise. Adults-only kept the rooftop properly relaxed even in peak season.
