You’ll stay in single occupancy ensuite rooms of a 4-star Hotel Jardin Tecina in Playa Santiago.

Apart from comfortable rooms, your hotel features tennis courts and golf courses, 5 swimming pools, a spa, and an eco garden. It also offers various free activities, like wine tasting, painting, and stargazing evenings to learn about the night sky over the Canaries.
