Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
For travellers who prioritise beachside convenience, Landmar Playa La Arena delivers a practical coastal stay. Guests give it excellent marks on both Booking.com and Google. The resort sits just steps from the volcanic La Arena beach and provides balconies in every guest room alongside four pools. A notable drawback is that parking requires an additional daily fee, and the popular pools can become crowded.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 12 hotels we list on Tenerife is 8.9.

Reviews from Google“Enjoyed a lovely holiday here! Atmosphere was class, everyone was relaxed and enjoying themselves, the hotel had a great but tranquil vibe. Never had any issues with overpopulation. All inclusive option was great and provided everything we could’ve wanted. It’s worth noting that the location, while beautiful, isn’t prime for activities or excursions without a car but we knew this beforehand and were pleased to find the hotel has an experience booking team to assist you onsite. Staff were hugely accommodating with our abnormal arrival and departure times. I’ve already recommended to family and would not be surprised at all if we were back in the future.”
“We could not fault anything about the hotel and our stay. From the moment we arrived we were impressed by the internal appearance of the buildings. Our room and views were excellent and the cleanliness of all areas of the hotel was outstanding. Entertainment both day and evening was great and kept us happily occupied. All inclusive was amazing with a wide variety and excellent quality of food and drinks, and the team provided excellent service when we requested gluten free options. If there were one small improvement it would be an easier way to request gluten free meals rather than searching for someone each evening, as that felt a little awkward. We would happily recommend this hotel to family and friends and we will definitely return.”
“Hi, stayed from 22nd July 2026 for 10 nights with my wife and 17 year old son; and what can I say, but simply fantastic! Staff, rooms, food, pools, drinks, entertainment, bars and inside/outside areas, to enjoy the evening, are exceptional. The staff employed are beyond great, they do so much for you and with such professionalism and enthusiasm. A special thank you to Rene and his falcon Jose who truly made my stay. I did become unwell the last 2 nights, but this had nothing to do with Landmar. What I can say is the reception staff dealt with the issue promptly and professionally, which helped enormously, and alleviated a lot of stress - thank you and for the support since. We will be back soon. Feisal”
“I had such a good time at this hotel and a big part of that comes down to the staff. In particular Andrea and Angel who fully embraced me and my family and had so much fun with us all when doing the activities and more. Both of them are so full of character and life and became friends of ours! My mum and I loved Andrea’s aqua sessions including Zumba and yoga. The sessions were fully inclusive and well taught - with Andrea ensuring that each person taking part was on the right track and having fun! We are saddened that we cannot continue these seasions as we are back in the UK but are excited for what the future holds for her as she has great talent! The rooms were kept lovely and clean each day by the friendly housekeepers and the food was always delicious. We stayed for two weeks and only ate out for dinner once. The evening entertainment was always exciting and engaging which isn't always the case at larger hotels so we was pleasently surprised :) We would definitely be looking to return!”
“Stayed at this wonderful hotel in June...it did not disappoint! Beautiful lobby full of lush greenery, friendly staff throughout, and the standards of cleanliness we're immaculate. The all inclusive option was great, lots of choice on the buffet, food available at the pool bar and Al a Carte options too. Plenty of good drinks too. Fabulous entertainment day and night - the entertainment staff really stood out, they were fantastic! No pressure to get involved if you didn't want to (I couldn't due to disabilities but never felt left out). Having the quieter pool is a bonus if you just want to relax. The hotel is so spacious, plenty of sun loungers available around the pool. Can't fault it and can see why many people return”
