Castle Harbour Apartments is a budget option offering good value in a quiet location. The property is a steep uphill walk from Los Cristianos Beach, and decor is basic and dated throughout -- but guests will be hard-pressed to find better rates in this part of Tenerife. Studios and apartments feature fully equipped kitchens, flat-screen TVs, and balconies or terraces, and there is a large heated pool with a shallower area for kids. Just note that there are a few fees that can add up -- including charges for Wi-Fi and for use of poolside loungers -- and that there is a five-night minimum stay.

Sol Sun Beach is a busy mid-range apartment hotel consisting of 135 Studio, One-, and Two-Bedroom Apartments, plus a handful of private rentals. All units have small kitchens with Nespresso coffeemakers and terraces with tables and chairs, and many look out onto Costa Adeje's busy-by-day, quiet-by-night boardwalk. Standout features include a 2000-meter sunbathing deck with lounge chairs, a large pool area, and a restaurant serving quality food at breakfast and dinner. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property and remarkably fast, but the lack of on-site parking options and limited area street parking is inconvenient for those with rental cars. Hovima Jardin Caleta is a better choice if you have a car, as there's lots of free street parking as well as fee parking in the hotel's basement.

The HG Tenerife Sur is a mid-range property located a short walk from the beach and the action in Los Cristianos. It offers 189 studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, all equipped with basic kitchenettes, separate living areas, and balconies. Renovated units offer decent value for money, but non-renovated apartments have dated decor, worn furniture, and old tube-style TVs. Additionally, there's no air-conditioning and guests have to pay for Wi-Fi and use of TVs. Though the pool is pleasant, the morning dash to reserve loungers is a daily ritual that may frustrate guests. The restaurant serves standard buffet fare for all three meals, and there is a supermarket on-site selling the basics for those looking to cook in their apartment. It's worth checking out the all-inclusive TRYP Tenerife, which has rooms with TVs and some with AC.

Popular with older couples, Hotel H10 Big Sur is a four-pearl boutique hotel with an adults-only policy that keeps its ambience calm and refined. The 167 guest rooms are modern with clean lines and homey details, and come with wood floors and balconies, many with sea views. At the heart of the hotel is an inviting lagoon pool surrounded by greenery, and a poolside gate leads down to the Los Cristianos boardwalk. Other features include a spa with a small fitness center and an elegant (if a little noisy) restaurant, offering a free and varied breakfast spread with free cava mimosas. While it's a great choice for couples, those with kids will have to look elsewhere -- Labranda Reveron Plaza is a good four-pearl alternative, and is just a few minutes away on foot.

The 324-room Hotel Costa Calero is an upper-mid-range property located a short walk from the town’s small marina. Rooms are sunny and clean, with contemporary amenities that include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel caters to families and couples with several pools, decent dining options, a full entertainment program for all ages, a spa, and a gym. It is easily the most appealing of all Puerto Calero hotels, but note that this location, while quiet, is a 10-minute drive to the nearest beach. Those looking to save some money may want to compare rates with the Hesperia Lanzarote, which is located right on the ocean, but feels a bit tired and is in need of renovations.

The 335-room Hesperia Lanzarote is an upper-middle-range all-inclusive hotel located in Puerto Calero, a quiet community 10-minutes outside of Puerto del Carmen. Rooms are spacious and bright, with up-to-date amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi -- but the look is dated and spartan, and guests have reported maintenance issues. The hotel has four pools, three restaurants, tennis courts, a relaxing spa plus fitness center, and lots of kid-friendly amenities. However, guests expecting a five-star hotel may feel disappointed, and those looking to be within walking distance of the beach may want to consider Hipotels La Geria, which has lower rates and more modern rooms near Puerto Carmen.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Arrecife Gran Hotel is a beachfront property with a convenient location in the center of Arrecife. There are plenty of dining options right outside the hotel, and the main shopping drag in town is a 10-minute walk away.

The 160 traditionally decorated rooms are spacious and feature air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. The best have sea views. The nearby adult-only Hotel Villa VIK is a good alternative, with a beautiful outdoor heated pool.

Alborada Beach Club is an older, apartment-style all-inclusive resort that's ready for an update. The three-pearl property's 285 rental units have dated decor but they're tidy, and all have kitchenettes, living rooms, and balconies -- many with ocean views -- but there's no air-conditioning. There's a small beach, but most guests opt to swim and sunbathe at the humungous central saltwater pool. A lively pool bar with evening entertainment and plenty of kids activities are part of the package, but expect to get charged for things like Wi-Fi and sunbeds. Though the vast majority of guests take advantage of all-inclusive packages, food quality is mediocre. Travelers looking for a quieter atmosphere and better food can consider Hotel Palia Don Pedro.

Hotel San Roque is a charming upper-middle-range boutique hotel in a historic 18th-century building in Garachico, a three-minute walk from the El Caleton natural pools.
