AluaSoul Orotava Valley - Adults Only

This is a four-star adults-only hotel for a trip where the day can contain sea air, a proper meal and a little less noise. You stay in a suite rather than a standard room, with a separate bedroom and lounge giving you somewhere to sit that is not the edge of the bed. Useful distinction after a long day in the water.

English, Spanish and German are spoken by the hotel team, so you can deal with the practicalities in English from arrival onwards. The My Favorite Club option adds a more private layer to the stay, with personalised check-in and check-out, access to a lounge with snacks and drinks, exclusive areas and a selection of rooms with additional advantages.

You are in Puerto de la Cruz, on Tenerife, with the hotel set by the coast and Playa Jardín about 500 metres away. It is a black-sand beach, reached on foot, with sun loungers and parasols. Playa del Muelle is about 1 mile away, while San Telmo Beach is around 1.2 miles from the hotel.

Puerto de la Cruz is close enough for an evening change of scenery rather than a full expedition. Plaza del Charco is about 1 mile away, San Felipe Castle around 0.6 miles, and Taoro Park roughly 0.9 miles. The bus station is about 0.8 miles away, while the listed road distance is around 15 miles to Tenerife North Airport and about 55 miles to Tenerife South Airport.

Several places to eat and drink sit nearby, including restaurants within roughly half a mile and bars within around 1 mile. A shuttle to the city centre runs from Monday to Saturday, giving you a straightforward alternative when your legs have already done enough work.

The useful part of the layout is the separation: your bedroom is distinct from the lounge, and every suite has a private balcony. Choose an ocean-view suite if the Atlantic is the view you want to open the curtains on; the Teide-view option turns the other way, towards Tenerife’s volcanic landmark. The standard suite keeps things simpler while retaining the same broad junior-suite format.

A refrigerator and electric kettle are small details with good timing. They give you somewhere for cold water and a way to make a hot drink without leaving the room. Air conditioning is available during the summer months and only at certain times of day, so this is worth checking if you need a consistently cooled room. Daily housekeeping, towels, a shower, toiletries and a hairdryer keep the practical side uncomplicated.

The hotel is adults-only, with check-in from the age of 18. Cots and extra beds are not available, so the suites suit couples or adults sharing the existing arrangement rather than groups needing additional sleeping furniture. The My Favorite Club room selection is the one to consider if private lounge access and a more personalised arrival matter to you.

The all-inclusive format keeps the main rhythm simple: breakfast, lunch and dinner are covered through the hotel’s dining offer, with buffet breakfast as the starting point. The named AluaSoul Restaurant serves international food in an air-conditioned indoor setting, and the property also has a choice of buffet and à la carte restaurants, with three restaurants listed on site.

For the liquid part of the evening, the Lobby Bar specialises in cocktails. There is also a snack bar and a coffee house on site, useful when a full meal is the wrong size but a completely empty stomach is an even worse idea. Wine and champagne are available, and special-diet menus can be arranged on request.

There is no stated continuous-snacking or late-dinner schedule to plan your diving day around, so check the current service times before relying on a very early breakfast or a meal after a late return. Themed dinner nights and live evening entertainment add a reason to stay in on some evenings; Puerto de la Cruz remains close when you would rather eat elsewhere.

The outdoor pool is for adults and sits alongside a sun terrace with umbrellas and pool or beach towels available. It is the obvious place to spend a non-diving afternoon without turning relaxation into a complicated project. The pool is not heated, so the Atlantic climate rather than a warm-water guarantee sets the tone.

AluaSoul Spa offers massages and facial treatments, while the gym gives you a way to keep moving without committing to another excursion. There is also a solarium and a public bath. For something less earnest, you can play table tennis, use the tennis court or take on the billiards table.

Evenings bring live music, entertainment and themed dinners, with an entertainment team on site. Bicycle hire and cycling are available, and the hotel can arrange car hire if you want to make a longer day of Tenerife. The nearby beach and Puerto de la Cruz’s streets provide the rest of the programme; no timetable required.

Reception operates around the clock. Check-in starts from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00; have photo identification and a payment card ready on arrival, and share your expected arrival time with the hotel. Luggage storage is available, which is handy when your flight and your room do not keep the same timetable.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. On-site parking is available with prior reservation, and airport shuttle service can be arranged on request. Car hire is also available, giving you a practical option for exploring beyond Puerto de la Cruz rather than relying on taxis for every outing.

The hotel is non-smoking throughout, pets are accepted under the hotel’s pet policy, and laundry, dry cleaning and ironing services are available. A safe can be used at reception, while a concierge and facilities for guests with disabilities are part of the service offer. The adults-only policy means you should treat the minimum check-in age of 18 as a booking condition, not a footnote.
