Apartamentos Pez Azul

I stayed here for a week and i was worried by the reviews. I had no need to worry. Basic, clean, comfortable and cheap. Cleaning was offered daily and staff were all lovely. Shops 1 min away and a nice walk down to the beach approx 10mins away. If your mobility isnt great then i would suggest a taxi back, 5 euros. There was general noice but nothing to complain about. I would recommend these apartments if your looking for cheap and cheerful. I would stay again.

The stay at Apartamentos Pez Azul was rather average and left mixed impressions. The biggest downside was the food. The selection was very limited, and most of the dishes were served cold. Additionally, it often felt like food that had not been eaten during one meal was reused and served again at the next one, which negatively affected the overall comfort. Another issue was the inconsistency in service. During dinner, water was sometimes provided free of charge, while at other times guests were asked to pay for it — depending entirely on the waiter. This lack of clear rules caused unnecessary confusion. The hotel’s location may also be a drawback for guests who want to spend time by the ocean. Reaching the ocean requires walking downhill for several hundred meters, which can be inconvenient, especially for older guests or those with limited mobility. In summary, Apartamentos Pez Azul may be an acceptable option for less demanding travelers, but the quality of the food, inconsistent service, and distance from the ocean make it difficult to fully recommend.

An extremely happy stay at the Pez Azul for a very reasonable price. Room cleaned every day, blackout blinds in room for a good sleep, fridge/freezer to store food. Staff at front desk were very helpful and nice. The food and drink prices at the pool were reasonable. We were in room 202 it was clean and not noisy. Location was good much better than where we stayed previously in tenerife (further up the hill) . Would happily stay again in this accommodation.

Fortunately I only read the reviews after I had booked. Was a little concerned in view of some of the bad reviews, but in fact the Pez Azul is brilliant, especially in view of the price. The staff without exception are extremely friendly and helpful. I hadn't realized I'd booked a "low cost" single accommodation, but in fact my accommodation was very spacious with twin beds joined together. I was on the groundfloor and my terrace was surrounded by a garden with tropical plants (and I had view of the Teide). I experienced none of the problems mentioned in some of the negative reviews. The location is super, both for transport: the bus from the airport stops almost outside the Pez Azul . It's a pleasant walk down into town (a bit of a climb on the way back, but if you have walking difficulties, the taxis in Tenerife are very cheap). You can walk to the beautiful Taoro Park (via Calle Belgica it's shorter) and don't miss the "Jardin de las Orchideas" of Agatha Christie fame , which is a 5 minutes walk from the Pez Azul (Sitio Litre). Closes at 2 pm. What I appreciated most is that, unlike so many places in Spain and especially Tenerife, the Pez Azul doesn't play loud music . If, like me, you want peace and quiet, I would suggest ground-floor, away from the swimming pool. The weather in Puerto is nice all year round: although I went in October, I was able to have a swim in the outdoor pool (the weather was brilliant!) Re. the cockroaches mentioned by some: this is part and parcel of a tropical climate BUT here's the trick: keep the bath and bidet outlet plugged and put a few bayleaves in a small dish: bay is supposed to repel the critters. (The accommodation was clean and I didn't meet any insects!) As someone who previously lived in Puerto de la Cruz for several years and also stayed in hotels most of the year during my tour leader's career, I can honestly say that the Pez Azul is a great choice and gives more than good value for money.

Actually very good. Cheap and pretty close to the centre, probably 10 min of walking. The shower is a bit unsteady but who cares. Didn't see many cockroaches, but it seems to be an issue in puerto cruz in general. It's a simple hotel for a simple price.

My boyfriend and I were on our first holiday together. We would be staying at Pez Azul for 11 days. We arrived on the 29th of July. Entering the hotel was nice. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We quickly got to go to our room. When we got our first room, we were welcomed by a weird smell. We searched the room for an ashtray or something that could cause this smell. Eventually we opened the window, in hopes the smell would get better. We went to the city centre, which was like a 5 minute walk from the hotel. This was lovely. I noticed that when we got back from the city centre, my nose was stuffed, I had a persistent cough and experienced difficulty breathing. My boyfriend had the same symptoms the day after. Walking up the stairs became an inconvenience, where he ran out of breath easily. This is raised questions, as he is an athlete. However, the second night, my boyfriend took a shower. He noticed black mold on the ventilation shafts and on the ceiling in the bathroom. This immediately explained the smell in the room. We checked the rest of the room, where we also found spots of black mold. The black mold was everywhere in the bathroom and even above our bed. Of course we wanted to leave this room as soon as possible. We went to the reception and explained the situation. Staff helped us out immediately. That night we slept in an other room. Entering that room, the smell was better. We checked this room on black mold too. Turned out that in this room, the ventilation shafts contained black mold as well. It was a lot less compared to our old room, but since the black mold was in the ventilation shafts, this probably meant it was through out the whole hotel. The next morning we went to the reception again. We yet got another room. In this room, the assumption was confirmed again. We checked the room. The smell was very good, except the black mold was still in the ventilation shafts. We did see that the cleaners probably tried to clean the shafts, but it was still in there. The shafts are directly above the shower, so when you take a shower, it’s a matter of time when the mold grows back. Note that all three rooms were on different floors. Also note that the pictures we took, are over 3 rooms. Bottom line: the service was great. The staff really tried to help us and offer us a solution. However the problem is through out the whole hotel. This caused us to eventually switch to an Airbnb in the neighborhood. We did get a refund of the nights we didn’t use the hotel. We really hope the hotel owner is going to contact an experienced mold cleaning service as the situation now provokes serious health risks, especially to people with sensitive airways or conditions like asthma. It’s a pity that a hotel with such great staff and great location is practically impossible to enjoy purely because of this problem. Please fix this!

My initial room had bed bugs that I didn't notice for a week. I had to go to the reception 3 times to get a new room. The next room they gave me had bed bugs too. I got a third room that didn't have bedbugs yet. The way the staff dealt with it was very unprofessional. No terminator was ever seen. The next evening I was walking to the hotel I saw lights in my first room with the infestation which means there was a new person there. I think that the hotel doesn't care about the bugs or the clients. Also the overall cleanliness in the hotel wasn't very good outside of the critters. Never visit them is my advice.
