Hotel Horizonte
A quiet street, five minutes from the port
About this hotel
Hotel Horizonte sits on a quiet street in central Santa Cruz de Tenerife, five minutes' walk from the port and within easy taxi reach of Parque Marítimo César Manrique. Family rooms come with a flat-screen cable TV and a private bathroom with a bath or shower, simple enough for a family that mostly needs somewhere to sleep and dry off between pool sessions. Vending machines cover a late-night snack, and the surrounding streets hold a variety of restaurants and bars for evening meals. García Sanabria Park is a five-minute walk away for toddlers who need a change of scenery, and Teresitas Beach is a ten-minute drive for a sandier alternative to the lido. Tenerife North Airport sits fifteen minutes away by car, keeping transfers short for a family on a tight budget and a tight schedule alike.

Our take
Hotel Horizonte suits a family that wants a clean, no-frills central base and does not mind a one-star standard of finish in exchange for a quiet street and an easy walk to the port. It is not the choice for a group wanting an on-site restaurant or a pool of its own; those travellers should look toward the mid-range hotels nearer García Sanabria Park instead.
- ✓Book early for July and August, since this good-value central option fills quickly during Canarian school holidays.
- ✓Use the port-side location if you are also planning an inter-island ferry trip during your stay in Tenerife.
- ✓Keep a taxi number handy for the ride out to the lido, since it is not a comfortable walk with young children.

Why guests love itHotel Horizonte is a simple one-star on a quiet street in central Santa Cruz, five minutes on foot from the port. Family rooms keep everyone together, each room has its own bathroom and a flat-screen TV, reception is open around the clock and Wi-Fi is free. The seawater pools of Parque Marítimo César Manrique are close enough for daily visits. A 7 from 3,195 reviews says basic but dependable, and I would book it on that basis.
