Medano Hotel and Spa
Laid-back spa base close enough to walk to the beach
About this hotel
The coffee bar sets a different pace here than the all-inclusive resorts nearby: this is a laid-back, casual base for a group that wants a proper morning coffee before an early tee time rather than a full breakfast buffet. The spa and outdoor pool cover recovery, and the on-site golf tag simplifies a trip built around the sport. Some rooms include kitchens, useful for anyone wanting to control breakfast entirely on their own schedule. The seven-minute walk to El Medano Beach makes an evening on the sand an easy, spontaneous option rather than something that needs a taxi booked in advance, and the pet-friendly policy suits anyone bringing a dog along.

Our take
This suits a casual group or couple wanting a laid-back base with a proper spa, golf handled on site, and an easy walk to the beach. Anyone wanting a full-scale resort with multiple restaurants and entertainment should look at the larger Riu or Pueblo Bonito properties instead, both busier and bigger.
- Start the morning at the coffee bar before an early tee time rather than waiting on a full breakfast service.
- Ask about the on-site golf tie-in to simplify tee-time bookings for the trip.
- Walk to El Medano Beach in the evening once the day's round and the day's heat are both done.

Why guests love itThe coffee bar became our morning ritual before early tee times, simpler and faster than a sit-down breakfast. Golf being handled on site was a genuine convenience we didn't expect from a smaller property like this. The walk to El Medano Beach in the evening was easy enough that we did it most nights. That's the sort of practical detail that matters more on the ground than it does when comparing listings online.
