HOTEL PLAYA LA ARENA, Playa de la Arena, Tenerife
The brilliant views out to sea from the spacious pool terrace, are almost as impressive as the views of the nearby sea cliffs of Los Gigantes. Also impressive is the reputation this smart, modern and well-managed hotel has established since opening. On the sunny west coast, Playa de la Arena will appeal very much to holidaymakers who prefer to be away from the bustle of a major resort.

Overview
The Be Live Hotel Playa La Arena is part of the Spring Group of hotels, owners of the well known Vulcano, Bitacora and Arona Gran hotels. It has earned an excellent reputation with guests for its friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and outstanding value for money.
