Laguna Park 2 is a two-pearl, all-inclusive resort with 376 apartment-style units with kitchens and living rooms. Its low price tag attracts younger guests, including some families and plenty of party kids, and it's definitely not the kind of place one would go for a peaceful getaway. It also isn't directly on the beach. All units have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and kettles, but there's no AC. Features include a restaurant, though reviews are mixed, a large pool, and a disco bar with specialty cocktails. There's also a game room with an arcade, but its main draw is that it's the only place on-site with free Wi-Fi. Travelers looking for a step up and a quieter atmosphere can consider Hotel-Apartamentos Andorra in Playa de las Americas.

The two-pearl Paraiso del Sol Apartments offers a budget stay in Playa de la Americas, a seven-minute walk from the nearest beach. Although decor is bright and cheerful, most furnishings throughout the property are dated and in need of replacing. This particularly applies to the 94 apartment-style rooms, which are spacious and well-equipped, but lack air-conditioning and Wi-Fi. Living spaces, flat-screen TVs, furnished balconies, and kitchenettes are provided, but expect fees for in-room Wi-Fi, safes, irons, and hairdryers. An outdoor pool and surf bar are colorful and well-kept. A buffet restaurant has half-board packages, but food receives mixed reviews. The property is mostly quiet, though beware that many past guests have complained of cockroaches. Nearby Hotel-Apartamentos Andorra may be a better option, as air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi are available.

The 221-room, budget-oriented Aparthotel Parque de la Paz is a well-loved apartment-style hotel in central Playa de las Americas, a short walk from the beach. The complex has two buffet restaurants, a three-leaf-clover-shaped pool, a kids' pool, and a pool bar, plus a full activities and entertainment schedule (year-round) and a popular all-inclusive option. Tidy one- and two-bedroom apartments are extremely basic and lack air-conditioning, but they cater well to guests on longer stays with kitchenettes and private balconies or terraces; most have ocean views. Travelers who want to be directly on the beach could consider Parque Santiago III, a property with similar accommodations and atmosphere, but no all-inclusive rates.

The mid-range Kn Columbus Aparthotel is a large hotel complex with generally attractive rates and a solid location a short walk from the beach. Its 580 studios and apartments are divided between the dated non-renovated rooms and the crisp, bright renovated ones with kitchenettes, though all have private balconies. The vast pool courtyard features two freshwater pools, a hot tub, and a kids' wading pool, and a bar. There is also a main buffet restaurant serving all meals, as well as a pizzeria, plus the hotel is located next to a grocery store, making it easy for guests in rooms with kitchenettes to self-cater. Kn Columbus' spa, several solariums, kids' club with outdoor playground, arcade, and business center make it a decent pick for its residing families, couples, and groups of students on break. Travelers looking for more personal space could try one of Parque Cristobal Tenerife's bungalows, all with yards and kitchens.

The antithesis to the showy high-rise hotels that dominate this part of Playa de las Americas, the all-inclusive, upper-middle-range Parque Cristobal Tenerife is more like a rustic gated community, with low-lying structures, open spaces, and lots of grassy grounds. All 151 rooms are one- and two-bedroom bungalows, each with front yards, kitchens, living rooms, and free Wi-Fi; some have air-conditioning, but not all. Kid Suites come with beanbag chairs, PlayStations, and bottle warmers. There are four pools, a pool bar, a tapas bar, and a buffet restaurant serving all meals. A multi-use sports court, kids' club, underground disco, and animation team are evidence of the hotel's upbeat nature, but the vibe around the outlying bungalows is peaceful. All this, and the extremely family-friendly property is a three-minute walk from the beach. Travelers who are willing to swap personal outdoor space for rooms with ocean views could try H10 Conquistador.

The 145-room Apartamentos Oro Blanco is a budget option across from Golf Las Americas, a 12-minute uphill walk from the beach. Guest rooms -- from studios with two twin beds to three-bedroom apartments -- are dated across the board, but all feature kitchenettes and most have balconies. Some have sea views. The resort offers a large pool and an indoor/outdoor pool bar and a peaceful and sunny rooftop terrace. This is every bit a budget resort in appearance and quality of features, but extra fees seem to lurk around every corner (in-room Wi-Fi and air-conditioning rentals, use of the sauna), docking Oro Blanco's value points. Hotel-Apartamentos Andorra offers similar apartment-style accommodations; it lacks Oro Blanco's rooftop terrace and upbeat pool scene, but it is on flatter ground that's five minutes closer to the beaches.

La Siesta Hotel is a mid-range resort in the heart of Playa de las Americas, a five-minute walk from the beach. The 282 rooms come in two main categories -- Standard and Club Alexandre -- the latter of which have updated decor and pool views, while the former are dated and overlook the street. Amenities are plenty and include a huge restaurant with thematic dinners, a large central lagoon pool, a fitness center, a spa with a hydrotherapy circuit, and all sorts of indoor and outdoor games and activities, like air hockey and archery. While it's a solid three-pearl choice, the lack of free hotel-wide Wi-Fi may put some travelers off; those who like to spend a lot of time online may want to consider Spring Hotel Bitacora, which offers free Wi-FI and iMacs in the lobby.

The beachfront 716-room Parque Santiago III is a solid, mid-range resort with a pulse -- and multiple pools and dining options. Apartment-style rooms start with 320-square-foot Studios with two twin beds and go up to 1,300-square-foot Three-Bedroom Villas that can sleep eight guests. Like the rest of the hotel, rooms have a traditional Canarian look, plus kitchens, flat-screen TVs with free satellite channels, and private balconies or lawns. A vast lagoon-shaped pool with an island dominates Santiago III's courtyard, which also contains a heated aqua park for kids, several food and drink spots, and a path connecting Santiago III's public shopping complex to the beach. As a result, non-hotel guests are constantly streaming through, contributing to the high energy level. Travelers wanting a more restrained and sequestered vibe could consider sister property Parque Santiago IV, which is right next door.

Hotel-Apartamentos Andorra is a casual apartment-style budget hotel located on a central and busy intersection in Playa de las Americas, a few minutes' walk from the beach. The hotel’s 102 practical rooms are somewhat dated in terms of both decor and equipment, but they're spotless and fine for the price. Guests in street-facing rooms may feel that the traffic noise depreciates the experience (and their shut-eye). The buffet restaurant offers breakfast and dinner daily, and the courtyard pool's snack bar hosts happy hour a few times a week. Most guests appreciate Andorra's tidy rooms, mellow atmosphere, and reasonable rates, but those looking for a few more big-resort features and an all-inclusive experience should check out Aparthotel Parque de la Paz, right next door.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Gala is a family-friendly resort located a few minutes' walk from Troya Beach. Although the hotel is fairly large and has plenty of amenities (especially for kids) there are only 308 guest rooms, which helps it from feeling overcrowded. All units have air-conditioning, balconies, and mini-fridges, and some come with extra beds for children, but in-room Wi-Fi costs extra. Club Alexandria Rooms add free passes to the spa's hydrotherapy circuit. The main hub of activity during the day is on the huge outdoor pool deck, with two big pools plus a smaller kids' pool. Come evening, guests tend to migrate indoor for live entertainment, which unfortunately can be heard in guest rooms. Travelers looking for a more upscale stay nearby can consider H10 Gran Tinerfe.
