First Impressions & Atmosphere
Hotel Puerto Palace feels more spacious than many hotels in Puerto de la Cruz, and that is one of its biggest advantages. Instead of a compact urban setup, it has the kind of outdoor room that makes families feel less boxed in.
The atmosphere is relaxed rather than boutique or luxury-led. This is a practical holiday hotel that works because it offers enough on-site space, pools and facilities to keep the hotel itself useful throughout the day.
Location Deep Dive
The hotel is in the Taoro side of Puerto de la Cruz, above the busiest central areas. That means it feels calmer than the promenade hotels, but still close enough to reach Old Town and the seafront on foot if you do not mind some walking.
For families, that trade-off often works well. You lose immediate promenade access, but gain more space and a less hectic environment.

Rooms & Accommodation
Standard Rooms
Rooms are practical and comfortable, with enough space for a typical family holiday. They are not especially design-led, but that is not the point of this hotel.
Family Appeal
The hotel works well because the rooms are supported by the wider layout of the property. Even if the accommodation itself is straightforward, the amount of outdoor space and the pool setup make the overall stay feel easier and more relaxed.
This is the kind of hotel where the room is part of a bigger package rather than the main attraction in its own right.
Pools & Outdoor Areas
This is where Hotel Puerto Palace earns its place on a family page. The hotel’s outdoor areas are large enough to make staying on-site feel worthwhile, and the multiple pool areas help spread people out better than smaller central properties can manage.
That makes a real difference for families travelling with children, because it gives the hotel more day-to-day usability. Rather than going back to one compact pool deck, families have a more resort-style environment to work with.

Dining & Facilities
Hotel Puerto Palace offers the kind of facilities that support a traditional holiday setup: pools, on-site dining and enough communal space to make it practical for longer stays.
