Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Please note, you can NOT book our property through third party booking sites like Airbnb or Booking. The San Marino apartment complexes are situated on the flat area of Los Cristianos in Tenerife and not on the hilly area, important if you have difficulty with walking or have young children. It is an easy walk to the centre of Los Cristianos, and the shopping and commercial hub of this colourful town, only ten minutes away, and about the same to the beach. San Marino Family Apartment resort is central to all the night life of Los Cristianos, but far enough away not to be bothered by noise. Right next to the central bus station. The San Marino premises has private pools and a wide variety of restaurants and shops on-site.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
I had a wonderful stay at San Marino Holidays. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures, very clean, at a great price. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. I got the contact from a friend who had stayed there before. It's important to note that you can only make reservations here personally by speaking with to the manager. This company doesn't advertise on portals like Airbnb or Booking, so make sure you're booking with the right company. I've heard from other guests that they booked with Airbnb a stay at the same complex with a different manager, and the apartment was in terrible condition! Thank you, Diane, I highly recommend staying with you to anyone visiting Tenerife! The best holiday ever!

Despite coronavirus & scare tactics of our Government we decided we were taking our August holiday - so long as their were still flights available. We are so glad we made that decision as from the word go & confirmation the Management team of the complex went above & beyond to ensure our stay was as safe & enjoyable as ever. They, & Diane, emailed regular updates on the virus situation out there & all the rules & regulations partaining to the virus to ensure our safety. So a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts to ALL the management team & ALL the staff for that extra, caring, yet always cheerful, effort. A special thanks to Diane, who was her usual bubbly self, & her sister who ensured our apartment was cleaned & completely sanitised for our arrival. It was almost almost heartbreaking to see all the work that had been carried out from the previous year not being showed off as it should have been to the normal amount of visitors (which was the same for the whole town). Now you can see why we always come here for our holiday and, God willing, we will be back next year. We really look forward to that.

The apartment was like being in the 70s and the pool was very poor. You are only 2 sun beds which means if you have 4 in apartment 2 people can't have beds which is poor. If you have kids you are now allow to have fun in the pool as only for 60s plus who live there as they moan so overall the service is shocking and not a very good experience at all

Stayed in this apartment January 20 23, and would definitely not recommend. No way did the description and photos , which were lovely, match up to what we found when we arrived. It showed 2 sofas one of which was a sofa bed. All that was listed what the apartment had was either broken or not available. The sofa was peeling and broken, it was disgusting. The ceiling fans didn't work, bulbs missing. There were no plugs for either the kitchen or bathroom sinks. There was damp and paint peeling in the wardrobe. The oven worked, but not the stove top. Signage missing on the broken patio doors onto balcony. Coffee pot with no handle, iron plate was all rusty and full of dirty brown water.loose wiring was all over the place. Curtains in lounge and both bedrooms didn't meet and we're missing hooks . No bedding for the double bed only single bedding. No mattress protectors. Square pillows fitted into oblong pillowslips very uncomfortable. The condition of the bedding was awful and nobby, no blankets and no change of bedding for a 23 night stay. Cooking pans were filthy,. Utensils the same. Drawers in kitchen just full of tat.drawers in coffee table contained broken DVDs. We had no access to the swimming pool area as you needed a pass and none were provided. I contacted the management in charge of the apartment regarding all these issues almost every day, with these issues, and they promised to bring a change of bedding, and fix things, time and nothing was forthcoming from them. They apologised about the sofa and said a new one was on order but taking time. They apologised about there being no pool pass and said it had run out 3 months ago and not been renewed.They were very uncooperative about the bedding and promised to bring a change, but didn't. All this made our holiday stressful. It was cold at night especially with no blankets. I turned on the oven at night and left the oven door open just for some warmth in the lounge. The best score I could give was for the balcony. Everything else was just junk and tat and I would definitely not recommend. The complex itself is clean and is in a good location. This apartment is still being advertised but is nothing like it says. It really needs taking down.We paid 2,700 euros and were robbed

Hey again, I'm posting this reply hoping you will see it as you did not comment on the previous response. San Marino Holidays does not offer our apartments through any third party booking website like Airbnb and Booking. Please note that those apartments are not operating under a legal license. We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your stay, but please understand that you are negatively rating our company that has nothing to do with the apartment you rented (illegally, as they do not have the license). For future reference we only offer our apartments under our official website.

Whilst the apartment was ok this was not a relaxing holiday. Work was being done on the pool area. Pneumatic drills from 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday so sitting reading on your patio or balcony was out of the question. I understand that this work is going to take at least 2 months maybe longer. I like the complex it is situated in a great position but is expensive compared to other complexes.

Have stayed in Los Cristianos a lot and ofter wondered what San Marino would be like, went into site and made enquiry, about five minutes later Diane rang me at home and my booking was sorted out promptly. Arrived 25th Feband we were shown to our apartment by Sav, lovely man, the apartment was tip tip way over and above what you,d get anywhere else, all kitchen equip that you,d need for any meal. TV with lots of UK channels, spotless. Also free Wi Fi in room. There for two weeks loved all of it, didn,t see Diane but Sav was always available and helpful. Thanks for a great apartment, will be back to you.

Sadly just got back from another fabulous stay in San Marino. Thanks to sav and Diane and all their help with rebooking for next year after the problems we occurred, we can’t wait for our return. Both sav and Diane really can’t help you enough and always come up trumps for me and my family. Thanks again guys for such a great stay

Stayed at the same apartment many times nice and quiet bus stop just outside so cheap and easy to get around the island and to airport lovely new restaurant just opened Harriets tea rooms doing lovely home cooked meals. Plenty of bars near and only a stroll from the beach and shops. Only downside is that you have to pay to rent sunbeds by the pool.

Hello Janet, it is not hilly. We are right next to the main Los Cristianos Bus Station so it is very accessible. You'll find wasy access into the building and rhere are lifts to take you up to the higher floors. We're very central.
Please note we do not offer rooms on third party websites, only via our official site. Thanks.
In all probability there is building going on alongside the shopping centre behind the San Marino - it was there last year when we were there but we found it no problem. Hence the reason we are going back there this year. It appears there is a large building project behind the Apolo shopping complex, on the opposite side of dual carriageway - but again can't see it being a problem for us. As I said, we have booked again & are looking forward to our stay.
There are more places to choose from in the Los Cristianos area.
