Ole Tropical Tenerife

Tucked away on a quieter side street just outside Playa de las Américas, Ole Tropical Tenerife is a straightforward, good-value base within an easy walk of Playa de Troya's sand and the bars and restaurants in the town centre. Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is around 15 minutes away by car, which keeps arrival day simple, especially if you're travelling with clubs.

Refreshed in 2021, the hotel suits golfers who want to spend their time on the course and at the beach rather than paying for five-star frills. There's a garden area for a breather between rounds and an outdoor pool that tends to become the default meeting point once you're back in flip-flops.

For golf, you're well placed for three popular options nearby: Amarilla, Golf Del Sur and Golf Las Americas. All are a short drive away, so you can mix up your week without long transfer times or early starts that feel like a commute. If you like to keep evenings lively, you're close enough to the action to head out after dinner, but far enough out to sleep properly.

The pool area is the social hub, with a poolside bar serving cold drinks through the day. For those who want to stay active off the course, there's tennis, beach volleyball, archery and a range of water sports including windsurfing, kitesurfing and kayaking, though availability can be seasonal. The wellness area includes a spa, with sauna access, beauty treatments and massages available for an additional charge if you want to loosen up after 36 holes or simply swap one afternoon round for a bit of recovery time.

Dining is buffet-style in the main restaurant, with a café and bar for simpler bites and evening drinks. The vibe is relaxed rather than formal, so you won't feel underdressed if you come straight from the pool.
