Best Semiramis
Discover the Vertical Charm of Best Semiramis in Tenerife
If you have ever dreamed of waking up and feeling like you are floating over the Atlantic Ocean, the Best Semiramis hotel is the place you must add to your list. Located in the prestigious area of La Paz, in Puerto de la Cruz, this establishment is a classic that never goes out of style. As a local, I always recommend this area to those looking for the authentic greenery of the north and a slightly cooler, more pleasant climate than the sweltering heat of the south.
What makes the Best Semiramis unique is its privileged cliffside location. The hotel's architecture takes advantage of this slope, offering panoramic views that will leave you speechless from the moment you step into the lobby. It is the ideal retreat for couples and travelers looking for an elegant base to explore the wonders of the Orotava Valley.
Why Stay at the Best Semiramis?
The Best Semiramis is not just a hotel with great views; it is an experience of comfort in the north of the island. Here, the sound of waves crashing against the volcanic coast becomes your personal soundtrack. It is especially famous for its sub-tropical gardens and its tranquil atmosphere, far from the noise of the clubbing districts.
A Viewpoint to the Atlantic and Mount Teide
From almost every corner of the Best Semiramis, you can gaze at the vastness of the ocean. On one side, you have the rugged northern coastline and, if the day is clear, you can see the imposing silhouette of Mount Teide watching over the island. Enjoying breakfast on its terrace is the best way to start your day with authentic Canarian energy.
Facilities for Relaxation
The hotel features swimming pools surrounded by lush vegetation and a spa area that invites total disconnection. After a day exploring the trails of Anaga or the cobblestone streets of La Orotava, returning to the Best Semiramis for a sunset swim is a true luxury for the senses.
Insider Tips: Advice from a "Chicharrero"
Since I live here and know Puerto well, I want you to enjoy your stay at the Best Semiramis like a true local:
- The Walk to Playa de Martiánez: You don't need a car to get to the center. There is a path that goes down the cliff toward the Martiánez area. It’s a beautiful walk, but remember to wear comfortable cholas (flip-flops/sandals) because the path is quite steep.
- Sunsets in La Paz: Although the views from the hotel are incredible, take a walk through the La Paz neighborhood. Near the hotel, there are several viewpoints where locals sit to watch the sunset with an ice cream or some cotufas (popcorn).
- Hassle-free Mobility: If you want to visit Loro Parque or the historical center and don't feel like walking, take the guagua (bus). Local lines stop very close by and are super cheap. Ask about the transport cards if you are staying for several days.
- Dining Nearby: Although the buffet at Best Semiramis is varied, I recommend exploring the small restaurants in La Paz. There are international and Canarian spots where you can eat wonderfully without the inflated prices of purely tourist zones.
Conclusion
The Best Semiramis represents the classic elegance of Northern Tenerife. It is a hotel that allows you to disconnect from daily stress while immersing yourself in the nature and culture of our island. If you are looking for quality, unbeatable views, and friendly service, this corner of Puerto de la Cruz will not disappoint.
