Puerto de la Cruz is the main tourist resort of the Northern part of the Island. Puerto de la Cruz actually started life as the Port for La Oratava, and there's a great mix of old and new buildings. For almost 100 years the city has been a popular tourist destination. There's an endless and excellent choice of restaurants and bars, good night life and the small, natural beaches are of black volcanic sand. It is also the longest established most complete of all resorts on Tenerife. The Old Town is very pretty in parts and it is one of the few resorts where the locals still work, eat and drink. Much of the area around the old fishing port is full of narrow cobbled streets packed with colonial architecture. Meliá La Paz is built in a Canarian style, with beautiful gardens in a fantastic area. Our hotel offers excellent views of the Teide and Orotava Valley and is located in the La Paz residential area.
