Looks can be deceptive as the Occidental Santa Cruz Contemporáneo appears to be older than its 1989 birthdate. A business-meets-leisure hotel, the hotel feels both formal enough for a convention and welcoming enough for a weekend away. Its privileged Rambla de Santa Cruz address adds further cachet to its appeal.
Service is attentive at Occidental Santa Contemporáneo from staff who are as warm as the island's celebrated climate. The rooftop pool and sun terrace are a boon to top up your Vitamin D intake. The hotel is light on facilities, but its proximity to Tenerife's capital attractions is its biggest plus.
