The Waves, Arona

The Waves is a small, beach-focused stay in Arona, Spain, placed on Paseo Berlín, 7 where the pace of the coast shapes your days. With a guest rating of 6.9/10 from nine reviews, it suits travellers who want straightforward comfort rather than a polished, high-end experience. Air conditioning helps when the Canarian sun is at its strongest, and free wired internet is available for guests who need to stay connected. Many visitors also mention making use of the terrace, which gives you a calmer spot to unwind after time outdoors.

Location matters here: Playa de las Américas is about 2 km away, so you can reach the main resort beaches and promenades without needing to plan your day around transport. Playa de Troya is roughly 4 km from the hotel for a slightly different stretch of sand, while Siam Park sits around 6 km away if you’re travelling with thrill-seekers. For dramatic scenery beyond the resort strip, the Los Gigantes Cliffs are about 44 km away, a popular day-trip destination for views over the Atlantic.

The Waves also points guests toward a beach club nearby, available for a surcharge, and the presence of beach toys makes it easier for families to pack light and keep kids occupied. Based on guest feedback, the overall experience is best for couples and families who value proximity to the coast, a terrace to decompress, and practical in-room comfort, and who don’t expect every detail to feel brand-new.
