Bull Reina Isabel and Spa is the mid-range pick in the capital, and one of the best-placed hotels on Las Canteras beach. The hotel has 225 rooms on Alfredo L. Jones street, with sea-view and city-view rooms, most with a balcony and air conditioning, as well as suites. Guests get free access to the spa and the gym, a swimming pool and solarium, a buffet restaurant and two bars, and free sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach. The hotel’s rates normally include breakfast, and half board is available. A separate restaurant on the eighth floor is used mainly for events and has views over the beach. It is a four-star hotel and a popular base for visitors who want to walk to cafés, restaurants and the long city beach.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the beachfront of Las Canteras, with the sand about fifty metres away. Restaurants and cafés line the promenade, the Poema del Mar aquarium is within reach by taxi or bus, and Vegueta is a short ride away. The airport is about a thirty-minute drive. Buses run along the main streets, so you can do without a car.
The rooms
Choose between a sea-view double, a sea-view single, a junior suite or a suite. Sea views are worth the supplement because the beach and its promenade are the main show here. Most rooms have a balcony.
Who it suits
Couples, solo travellers and families who want to be on the beach in the city, with a spa and gym included in the room rate. It is a good base for a city-and-beach stay, with the old town a short journey away, but it is less suited to those who want a resort with big pools and entertainment.
Good to know
Parking is free but spaces are limited and cannot be reserved, so there are private car parks nearby if the hotel lot is full. The spa and gym are not wheelchair accessible. Children can use the spa for the first two hours of the day. Some past guest reviews mention pool repairs, so ask about pool availability when you book.
