What to do and see in Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
One of Tenerife's top resorts, Puerto de la Cruz is on the north coast of the island. Both Spanish and island traditions are evident in the former fishing village. Its Sardine Festival and annual Carnaval are two highlights of life on the island. Busy, narrow streets of the Old Town, packed with colonial architecture, make walking a safer bet than driving. Popular attractions include Lago Martianez, the casino, Parrot Pool, the Banana Plantation and the Botanical Gardens, which date back to 1788.

We were just here for only one night unfortunately due to the escalating corona virus issues. However we loved it. It is a real Irish pub (you could substitute Welsh, Scottish or English for Irish in there). Not a Temple Bar Irish pub but a rural Irish pub. The night we were there, there were local Spanish, local ex-pat's from Ireland and the UK and tourists like ourselves. The local kids were playing pool out the back, the older locals were at the bar and the Irish and British were out listening and dancing to the music. A lovely friendly place. If we make it back to Puerto de la Cruz this is the first place I am heading to.

We went on a transfer from Playa de las Americas, which doesn't take as long as they say! Fantastic park with so much to see! Highly recommend the tour that they offer you when you go in as you get to see everything behind the scenes as well such as the vets, penguins and go underneath the orca whale tank to see them! They tell you everything about the place as well and will help you to find out which order to do the shows in! Whale and dolphin shows are a must!! Food is above average but fine for snacks and drinks!

One of the attractions of the beautiful Puerto de la Cruz. It is worth going there just to see what a great wealth of plants can be seen in this area. It's such a small nature lesson for everyone, beautiful flowers and amazing trees. Just beautiful !
7. Costa Martianez
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,300 reviews
The Costa Martianez Tourist Complex, also known as Lago Martianez, is a leisure and entertainment zone comprising seven artificial seawater swimming pools and a large lake, as well as gardens, terraces, islands, viewpoints, solaria, cultural spaces, bars and restaurants. It currently constitutes the symbol and main tourist attraction of Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, the most traditional and prestigious tourist city on the Canary Islands. The Costa Martianez Complex is the pride of Puerto de la Cruz and all of Tenerife. The quality and beauty of its facilities provide the visitor with the most suitable environment for bathing and relaxing and, thanks to the Canary Islands’ privileged climate, can be enjoyed at any time of the year.

With it's simply stunning main lake and several smaller pools, what Puerto de la Cruz lacks in beaches Costa Martianez certainly makes up for! It's perfectly manicured and well kept with plenty of sunbeds and places to grab a snack and a drink and at 5.50 euros entrance it's excellent value. As others have said, you can pop in and out as much as you want during the day as long as you hang on to your ticket but we were sucked into the tranquillity and spent the whole day here.

My husband and I visited this charming restaurant which had been recommended in the Tenerife scenic drive book we were following. A charming courtyard, soon filled up with locals. The owner was charming and brought out a lovely bottle of wine, then a delicious grilled cheese and a dish of scrambled eggs, mushrooms and prawns. Definitely recommend.
