Hotel Landmar Playa la Arena

TripAdvisor Review
Spain, Europe
Puerto de Santiago

Having fabulous views over the Atlantic Ocean, this family-friendly hotel is situated close to a volcanic beach with black sand on the picturesque coast of Santiago del Teide, Tenerife. The closest airport is about 30 minutes away by car. Guests will not have enough time to enjoy everything the property has to offer. The outdoor pool area is the best option where to spend the day resting on a sunbed sunbathing or having a refreshing swim. For the active ones, there are plenty of activities to rise the heart rate. The complex offers delightful local and international meals that will certainly pleas all types of tastes. Guests can visit the bar to have a couple of drinks. The rooms have been decorated with light colours creating an elegant and minimalist style. They have cosy beds and are perfectly equipped to please each guest’s need and make them have the best and most unforgettable stay.

Nice pools & Fabulous staff

We travelled here for a week, AI family of four - two adults & two teenagers, August 2026 with British Airways. The Interior of the hotel is stunning, really beautifully kept and maintained with trailing plants, spotlessly clean. The standard rooms are a good size and well maintained every day. Balcony view was good with the mountains and the sea in view.

The pools are nice and the areas around them kept clean. It's a bonus that you cannot reserve sunbeds - the pools open at 9am and 10am and people queue at those times to reserve their beds, but there are plenty available.

The staff at this hotel are phenomenal without exception. Right from check in, to housekeeping, waiting and bar staff - all first rate - friendly, welcoming, polite and helpful, they are the best asset to the hotel.

The food in the AI buffet is fairly bland and not great. It's fine and there is a good selection, but it is mass prepared as you would expect, and so doesn't have a lot of flavour.

The Macronesia a la carte was very good, so reserve spaces there if you can. Unfortunately the other grill restaurant had no availability for our stay.

The cocktails were hit and miss - Alex served the best ones! But most of the Pina Colada's and Mojotio's we had were watery and not very good. The beer is decent, the wine too.

The massage and spa treatments were very good value for money, and the Bali Beds are great if you want a fancy day by the pool.

Mixed clientele - some were rude and oafish, and others we had some nice conversations with.

There's not a lot to do in and around the hotel - the beach is nice but very crowded, a few shops along the front carry mostly the same touristy type things to buy.

Overall this was good for a short break of a week, I don't think we would want to stay any longer.

The hotel were very helpful with a birthday cake for one of our party too which was reasonably priced.

A good stay for a family break.

Amazing place/Good animation team

Can’t fault the hotel at all, location is in a more quiet area but the hotel makes up for it. Entertainment during August/the holidays was always fun to do. Animation team were always in a good mood and happy to encourage everyone in. Rooms were great and the value was 10/10. Can not complain.

THE BEST HOTEL EVER

My Favourite Hotel 🤍☀️

This is my second time staying at this hotel, and once again, it has completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is absolutely incredible, and it genuinely feels like a home away from home.

A special mention has to go to Anton and Emmanuel, who are without a doubt the best animators! The team they have created is amazing, and you can really see how much effort they put into making sure everyone has the best possible time.

Emmanuel especially deserves a huge shoutout — he is constantly making everyone laugh, bringing such positive energy and making sure nobody feels left out. He includes everyone in the activities and somehow always manages to put a smile on everyone’s face.

The food is honestly the best I’ve ever tried at a hotel, with so much variety and everything tasting amazing. The atmosphere is incredible, and don’t even get me started on the drinks… they are absolutely to die for!

I genuinely couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. Coming back for my second visit has made me love it even more, and I already know I’ll be back again. A massive thank you to the whole team, especially Anton and Emmanuel, for making this holiday so special!

Very enjoyable holiday

We had a wonderful holiday with family and friends peak season. The resort is wonderfully clean and very comfortable. Rooms are spacious and we found the facilities perfect for us, though we agreed that if we had young children, there would’ve been very little for them to do (no kids club, mini disco etc). Pros: bar service, drink variety, impressive interior, comfortable rooms, animation staff, no sunbed rush (there were always beds available, even in August) Cons: everything closes way before midnight, food was nice but got a bit repetitive and didn’t have the wow factor, some staff (ie reception) were not very friendly, à la carte restaurants were not great. We ate out twice which helped but a bit more variety would’ve helped. Breakfast was the best meal. Everyone on Tripadvisor and Facebook raves about the Platinum option but in all honesty, we couldn’t see the point of it. Yes you get a different pool and a separate area of the bar, but these always looked empty and soulless. Each to their own but there was more atmosphere in the main areas.
