Apartamentos Reveron offers a cozy and homey place to stay, and it’s only an eight-minute walk from the beach. Restaurants, bars, and grocery shops are easily accessible on surrounding streets, which is convenient since the 55 apartment-like units have kitchenettes, as well as flat-screen TVs and some balconies. However, they lack air-conditioning. A pool, gym, and free Wi-Fi attracts visitors, though no dining option or on-site parking is a bit of a drawback. With a new refurbishment and ownership scheduled for August 2017, it’ll be interesting to see what’s added and updated at this budget property. For those who enjoy apartment-style hotels, Castle Harbour Apartments is a good alternative for a poolside snack bar, tennis court, and on-site parking.

TRYP Tenerife is a mid-range, family-friendly vacation hotel that's a five-minute walk from the beach. It offers half-board and all-inclusive meal packages, but only one main restaurant (plus two bars) that gets mixed reviews. This 15-story tower hotel features 364 rooms, but only the higher-category units (which also happen to be on the higher floors) have air-conditioning, and fans cost extra to rent. The hotel offers lots of activities for kids and adults alike, including mini-golf, ping-pong, an animation team, and evening entertainment. There are a large outdoor pool, a kids' pool, a fitness center, and a kids' club with a climbing wall. Travelers who prefer to stay somewhere with self-catering facilities may want to consider the similarly priced Paloma Beach Apartments, though they are a bit further from the city center and the beach.

Castle Harbour Apartments is a budget option offering good value in a quiet location. The property is a steep uphill walk from Los Cristianos Beach, and decor is basic and dated throughout -- but guests will be hard-pressed to find better rates in this part of Tenerife. Studios and apartments feature fully equipped kitchens, flat-screen TVs, and balconies or terraces, and there is a large heated pool with a shallower area for kids. Just note that there are a few fees that can add up -- including charges for Wi-Fi and for use of poolside loungers -- and that there is a five-night minimum stay.

The HG Tenerife Sur is a mid-range property located a short walk from the beach and the action in Los Cristianos. It offers 189 studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, all equipped with basic kitchenettes, separate living areas, and balconies. Renovated units offer decent value for money, but non-renovated apartments have dated decor, worn furniture, and old tube-style TVs. Additionally, there's no air-conditioning and guests have to pay for Wi-Fi and use of TVs. Though the pool is pleasant, the morning dash to reserve loungers is a daily ritual that may frustrate guests. The restaurant serves standard buffet fare for all three meals, and there is a supermarket on-site selling the basics for those looking to cook in their apartment. It's worth checking out the all-inclusive TRYP Tenerife, which has rooms with TVs and some with AC.

Popular with older couples, Hotel H10 Big Sur is a four-pearl boutique hotel with an adults-only policy that keeps its ambience calm and refined. The 167 guest rooms are modern with clean lines and homey details, and come with wood floors and balconies, many with sea views.

Overlooking the sea in the center of Los Cristianos, Labranda Reveron Plaza is an upper-middle-range hotel with gorgeous Art Deco-inspired interiors and a low-key vibe that attracts slightly older vacationing couples. The 44 rooms here are traditional and bright, with air-conditioning, lovely wooden decor, and balconies separated from rooms by thick glass doors that do a stellar job of keeping out street noise. The hotel offers a ton of amenities for a modestly sized property, including a rooftop pool, an on-site restaurant serving an excellent free breakfast (but no sit-down lunch and dinner), room service, and a large fitness center. Travelers shopping around may want to compare rates at the adult-only Hotel H10 Big Sur nearby, which has a larger pool and all-day dining, but a less intimate vibe.

The all-inclusive Granada Park Apartments is a value option catering to families and couples on a budget. Its 131 one- and two-bedroom apartments are spacious, and have fully equipped kitchens and furnished balconies.
