OCEANO Hotel Health Spa
Punta del Hidalgo, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Tenerife (Spain)
Overview
Newly refurbished in summer 2019, Océano Hotel & Health Spa is located directly overlooking the Atlantic ocean, surrounded by green mountains and lush vegetation in the north of Tenerife. It may look high-rise in design but it’s actually very remotely located and non-touristy, with no other hotels around plus ancient woodland and mountain hiking tours directly from the hotel. Associated with the Mayr-Centre (world experts in the field of wellness) it’s a great place to detox, relax and recharge the batteries. Through a powerful combination of authentic Thalassotherapy and expertise from the Mayr medical centre, Océano is the perfect destination for a results-driven wellness holiday. Led by a professional team of doctors and therapists, the spa treatments are aimed at aiding detox or boosting fitness, through massages, shiatsu, osteopathy and natural cosmetics.

This is an adults only hotel however kids are allowed to stay during the summer holidays and Christmas. Hotel does not offer any babysitting facilities or a kids club. Upon request a baby cot or a baby chair will be provided.Reviews
Really beautiful hotel with exceptionally friendly staff and a great range of treatments and activities. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is that there were several admin hiccups: the thalasso bath was out of action for two days, the spa only opens for 6 days so they struggled to fit everything in my programme in and give me time for lunch, and a conference in the hotel meant they moved classes a couple of times without telling anyone which meant a bit of confusion and rushing around at the start of the class.

A very well-situated hotel for a relaxing holiday, between the ocean and the mountains. Serenaded by the sound of the sea daily. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good, healthy food. Great treatments and facilities. Bright and comfortable rooms. Please get more comfortable pillows.

Very good and strict regime. Charming doctor and great treatments. Some small niggles. Wifi so so only. Tv in the room geared solely to Spanish (which is quite right) and German guests - hardly any channels in English which is a shame as sometimes confined to the room. Same can be said for some of the staff. Sun loungers by the pool extremely hard - should have mattresses on them!
Jennifer Morgan
An amazing place to relax and unwind. All of the staff extremely helpful. The location of the hotel is great with the sound of the waves as you relax by the pool. The modern gym facility is an additional bonus to the spa and the hotel.

Very efficient and exellecent facilities.

Great hotel, fabulous staff and wonderful treatments. The doctors are thoughtful and very detailed. I felt very cared for and well looked after. The little gym looking out onto the sea is delightful. The swimming pool was very, very cold!!

The location was absolutely lovely with all rooms having a sea view and a quiet location. Food very vey good and staff very friendly and accommodating, I will certainly visit there again.
The criticism I will make is that it was a shame the Jacuzzi was not working. Also I had booked half board, but was not told that no drinks were included with my evening meal, even water, so I was billed each time I had my evening meal as an additional cost to my holiday.
Also although there were additional excursions available for us to pay for, if enough people did not sign up for it, then it would not go ahead, which was a shame as there were a few I would have liked to have taken part in, but was told could not go ahead due to the numbers.
It was also lovely of the hotel to arrange a free day trip for the clients as 'noisy' work was being carried out on the hotel. The trip was absolutely lovely and more of them would have be welcomed.
Overall, I loved the location, hotel and staff and would definitely return there again.

Oceania Spa is quite fantastically excellent - wonderful treatments and equipment, huge rooms with ocean view and very beautiful setting plus lovely staff
Mary
The hotel was undergoing major renovation work which was very noisy and disruptive. Once finished I have no doubt it will be lovely and the staff were very helpful but they should not have remained open during the works.

Uber Relaxation break in the Sun, couldn't fault the hotel or staff in any way. Lovely peacefull environment, good food and great Spa treatments.
Set in a beautiful location - Bliss!
As an English speaking Scot I did find communication with other clientele a bit tricky at times as the majority of guests seemed to be German speaking. The hotel staff a lot of whom were Spanish were very friendly & could speak English.

I was very well looked after. Dr Rolle and his team were passionate about health. My room was stunning. The metabolic balance diet is very effective and interesting to learn about. The dining room staff and the Chef and his food were superb.

The Spa had agreed to provide a weight gain trestment in the 7 days. They completely failed to do,so. Merely providing their standard Detox programme. Meals of 200 to 300'calories were not what was required. When complaints were made to the principal, they were ignored. When paying for extras atn the end of the week, it was admitted that th budget for food per day was only Eutos 17.00.
I consider that they took my money under false pretences.
Wellbeing should seriously consider whether it is in their best interest to be associated with this company

There were no hotel brochures in English, very geared towards the germans and they could have done with another English speaking tv channel.
The gym was very poor, we did not use at all, small/pokey you did not feel like working out in it.

Found it very relaxing and the Spa staff were very attentive and professional. All the treatments etc were worthwhile too.
The hotel is very much focussed on peace, tranquillity and relaxation, so not really a place for children.
As a single traveller it was an ideal destination as there were quite a few other single travellers, so there was no feeling of awkwardness.
My room, which overlooked the garden with a sea view, was good and pleased that I'd had the upgrade from Wellbeing Escapes.
The dinner menu choice was very good and the food always freshly cooked, and over the 13 days I was there, the menu was never repeated. A very good selection at the breakfast buffet too.
The only downside to my stay was that the hotel caters primarily for German guests. In fact, for most of the time, I was the only non-German there! So mainly, only Spanish and German is spoken and the same with most of the written material. English is not widely spoken by the staff at all and certainly not in the restaurant.
Now I don't have a problem with that, and it was a pleasure not to hear a British voice for the whole stay! And fortunately I understand and speak some Spanish so that made it easier for me.
However, for some British guests without a knowledge of German or Spanish, this could be a problem.
Overall, a great place to stay as a health resort and It'll be difficult for me to find somewhere similar that ticks so many boxes!
