CASTLE HARBOUR
About the Castle Hotel
Castle Harbour, Los Cristianos - A Tenerife Institution
Perched on an elevated position in the lively resort of Los Cristianos, on Tenerife's southern coast, Castle Harbour has long been a fixture for those seeking a self-catering base with a familiar, reliable charm. It offers a distinct experience for both families and couples, appealing to a discerning clientele who appreciate straightforward comfort and proximity to the island's charms. This is not a place of grand, sweeping statements, but rather a solid, dependable choice for a quintessential Tenerife holiday.
Location
Castle Harbour finds itself approximately one kilometre from the sea-front promenade, a pleasant distance that allows for a peaceful retreat while remaining within easy reach of Los Cristianos' energetic pulse. The promenade itself is ideal for an early morning jog or a leisurely sunset stroll, leading you to the centre of the resort and its long sandy beach, a hub of water-sports and seaside activity. For those inclined to explore further, the popular Playa de las Américas is a short excursion away. Tenerife South Airport is a mere 15 kilometres distant, making arrivals and departures refreshingly uncomplicated.
Style and Character
The character of Castle Harbour is defined by its functionality and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. It's a complex designed for comfort and convenience, eschewing ostentatious design for a more practical, home-away-from-home feel. The ample garden spaces and the large outdoor pool provide a sense of openness, while the apartments themselves are conceived with self-sufficiency in mind, offering a comfortable, unburdened stay.
Service and Facilities
The 24-hour front desk is the nerve centre of Castle Harbour, staffed by multilingual personnel fluent in Danish, English, Spanish, and French, ready to assist with an array of needs. Services extend to equipment hire for sunbeds and parasols, Wi-Fi access, and bookings for the tennis court and pool tables. For those departing, a luggage room and showering facilities are thoughtfully provided, ensuring comfort beyond the standard check-out time. The complex features a restaurant and a bar, offering convenient dining options on-site. A year-round outdoor pool and terrace are central to the leisure facilities, complemented by a garden area.
Rooms
Castle Harbour offers a range of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all designed for self-catering holidays. Each unit comprises a seating area with a sofa bed, accommodating up to six guests, with one-bed apartments featuring a separate bedroom with two single beds. The apartments are equipped with a kitchenette, complete with a two-ring hob, fridge, oven, microwave, stovetop, and necessary kitchenware, alongside a small dining table and chairs. Satellite television provides international channels. All units include a separate bathroom with a bath or shower, WC, and washbasin. Select rooms offer a balcony with table and chairs, and some even feature sea views, adding a touch of allure to the practical accommodations.
Food and Drink
The on-site restaurant and the El Paso bar cater to guests seeking convenient dining. The bar serves a variety of bar snacks and drinks, making it a lively meeting place, while the restaurant offers a full evening menu. While not aiming for haute cuisine, these venues provide satisfying options for those preferring to dine within the complex. For a broader culinary experience, the surrounding Los Cristianos offers a great choice of restaurants.
Value for Money
Castle Harbour positions itself as a provider of reasonably priced, self-catering accommodation. The inclusion of kitchen facilities and the option for family-sized apartments suggest a strong emphasis on value, particularly for longer stays or for groups travelling together. The straightforward pricing and the breadth of included amenities make it a sensible choice for budget-conscious travellers who still desire comfort and convenience.
Accessibility
While specific details on accessibility features are not extensively detailed, the presence of a 24-hour front desk and the apartment configurations suggest a level of consideration for guest needs. The overall design, with its ground-floor access to certain areas and straightforward layouts, may offer a degree of ease for those with mobility considerations.
Family-Friendly
Castle Harbour is particularly well-suited for families. The complex features a large outdoor swimming pool with a separate, safer section for young children and babies, all supervised by a lifeguard daily. Sun terraces equipped with sunbeds and parasols offer comfortable spaces for relaxation. The availability of apartments that can sleep up to six people, complete with kitchenettes, allows families to manage meals and living arrangements with ease. The proximity to the beach and the general resort atmosphere of Los Cristianos further enhance its appeal for family holidays.
