Hotel Beatriz Playa and Spa stands at the southern, quieter end of Puerto del Carmen, near the beach of Playa Lima and a short walk from Playa de Matagorda. It has 404 rooms, two outdoor pools plus a children’s pool, a full-service spa, five restaurants and a poolside bar, and its grounds have a gym, a tennis court, bike rental, mini golf and a children’s club. An 18-hole golf course lies right beside the hotel. Rooms have air conditioning, safes and minibars, and there are thirteen room types to choose from. All-inclusive rates are available on some plans, which suits families and groups who like to settle meals in advance. It is a comfortable, well-equipped choice for a beach holiday that still has access to the island’s volcanic and cultural sights.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Calle Mato in Puerto del Carmen, on the south-east coast. Playa Lima is about a three-minute walk, and Playa de Matagorda about eight. The main seafront promenade, with its restaurants and shops, is a longer walk or a short taxi ride, and the old harbour of Puerto del Carmen is nearby.
The airport is about ten minutes away by car. From here Timanfaya National Park, the La Geria vineyards and the Salinas de Janubio are a short drive to the south-west, and the northern César Manrique sites are about forty minutes to an hour away.
The rooms
The hotel offers thirteen room types, with family rooms and rooms with sea or pool views, so choose according to who is travelling. Rooms on higher floors are quieter, and rooms near the pools can be livelier. Ask about recently refurbished rooms, since parts of the hotel are older.
Who it suits
Families, golfers and groups who want a self-contained resort with a beach nearby and many dining options. The spa is closed to guests under fourteen, so parents who want treatments should plan childcare or use the children’s club.
Good to know
Free uncovered parking is available on site, and WiFi is free in some public areas. Breakfast may not be part of every rate, so check your plan. The pools have set hours, so check the opening times. Winter, from about November to March, is the busy season for sun-seeking visitors, and the hotel is busy, so book early.
