3 Things People Love
The swimming pool, gym and children's play zone make it a great place for families to stay and enjoy the leisure facilities on offer without having to travel far from the apartment.

The large sun terrace is a great place to enjoy stunning mountain views, sunbathe on the loungers or enjoy a bite to eat with loved ones whilst watching the sun set. It is also a great place for stargazing. Don't forget to make a wish if you see a shooting star!
The property is located just a short walk from the beach and just a stone's throw away from the central avenue of shops, bars, restaurants and supermarket. Give into your ice cream cravings with a trip to the ice cream parlour or live like a local and enjoy a glass of wine watching the sun set in one of the local bars.

3 Things to Consider:
The beach isn't your typical white sand beach. Due to the volcanic nature of the island, the beach is a combination of black sand and pebbles. Needless to say, the beach is very clean and provides the perfect spot to soak up the sun for a couple of hours. It is easy access and suitable for children. It is worth keeping in mind that due to the proximity of the sea, during winter months, the town can get quite windy and temperatures can drop.

The apartment is located in a quiet town away from large tourist resorts and mass tourism. Whilst this gives it an authenticity which is highly valued amongst some, those looking for a bustling tourist resort with lots of attractions close by may be disappointed. Puertito de Güímar is a town for those who want a taste of local life.

Whilst public transport does reach this area, it is rather restrictive and to explore the island fully it is essential that you hire a car which may be problematic for young travellers. However, the major cities can be reached using public transport.
