Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Costa Calero Talaso & Spa

Urbanización Puerto Calero, Puerto del Carmen, Canary Islands, 35570, Spain

Sprawling gardens and serene pools await guests at this modern hotel, just south of Puerto del Carmen in the Puerto Calero marina. The blocky, corporate-looking exterior belies spacious and luminous communal spaces that exude a tropical kind of calm. The grounds are protected from the fierce northeast winds (rare on this side of the island) and come to life with 260 different palms and four large (unheated and often chilly!) pools.

PROS

  • quiet location with lovely gardens
  • free shuttle bus to the beach
  • spa with Roman baths

CONS

  • slightly off the beaten track
  • lackluster entertainment and little food variety
  • spotty internet
