Hotel Diamar

A sea side hotel with beautiful Seaview.20 min to the airport by bus.But room soundproofing is not good

this hotel is perfect if you want easy way to get to airport the next day. there is a bus stop 5 min walk away, the buses connect all the island. the staff are efficient and polite. they helped me print my boarding pass at no charge. I didn't try the dinner buffet(half a dozen dishes)but looked good for about 18 euros. there is a big map of arrecife on the wall that you can photo and use to get around the city. we had a sea view room,recommended the view is nice.

Good points: Spotlessly clean, right on the beach and close to the local bus station for cheap and convenient travel to nearby resorts. Good breakfast with lots of choice. Helpful and polite staff. Housekeeping came daily and did a brilliant job. Opportunity to book excursions at reception. Free wifi and air con. Beach is quiet and not full of tourists, popular with the locals. Walking distance to the town with lots of mainstream Spanish shops and a pretty harbour with cafes. Worth noting: Beach has no sun beds. Room doesn't have a kettle. The hotel doesn't have a pool but the beach is across the fairly quiet road and the water is shallow. Buses from the bus station come when they feel like it which makes it a bit tricky to plan but it's a cheap way to visit the nearby resorts. The city has a very Spanish vibe so if you want to be closer to the usual tourist amenities, you might be better looking at nearby Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen. We travelled daily there for the bars and restaurants. A cab will set you back €25 or so and a bus is €1-2 each. Be aware that the buses don't accommodate buggies or wheelchairs.
