Home description
312 El Marques Palace is located just two minutes walk from the shops and restaurants in this peaceful area. Los Gigantes is highly regarded as being one of the most superior and relaxing places to stay in Tenerife. TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM BUSY LAS AMERICAS!! A five minute stroll takes you to the virtually deserted horseshoe-shaped cove where you can watch your supper being unloaded from the fishing boats bobbing at anchor.
The apartment has two bedrooms (one with king size bed, one with two single beds) and two bathrooms. We have a double sofa bed making a maximum capacity of six.
From the comfortable and stylish master bedroom you can step through the georgian style glass door to balcony for a breath of fresh morning sea air.
The kitchen is fully fitted (four ring halogen hob with large oven and grill) plus washing machine and microwave and the kitchen equipment even includes a fruit juicer! This is an easy kitchen to cook in, (fresh fish, meat, vegetables and fresh baked bread are readily available very locally and very reasonably priced) so we often dine on the balcony then stroll down into Los Gigantes for a coffee and dessert in the plaza or wander into one of the evening entertainments on offer, generally just for the price of a drink!! It's all so close by and the atmospherel so relaxed it is very pleasant to potter around in the balmy air.
The apartment does have air conditioning but, as patio doors fill one wall of the lounge/dining room flooding the room with light and air, the owners haven't had much cause to use it.
The elegant blonde wood dining table and chairs make for sophisticated dining inside or there is a table and chairs set on the wide balcony for more al fresco meals.

The Tenerife region
The island of Tenerife is one of incredible variety. It offers dramatic scenery with majestic Mount Teide presiding over the island in snow-capped glory. Then there are the remote mountain villages with a wonderful Alpine feel where dainty flowers carpet green meadows. Rugged ravines run down to the sea, a splendid testimony to the volcanic presence (thankfully not seen for some years). The coastline is skimmed with magnificent cliffs, such as seen in Los Gigantes and sandy beaches either clothed in the famous black sand or the, more common, golden variety.
Puerto Santiago / Los Gigantes area
Los Gigantes, SO different from the noisy and crowded Las Americas. The tranquil village of Los Gigantes snuggles in a peaceful, secluded valley. There is no through road, no rowdy hoardes of youngsters out to get smashed, no endless machines blaring out their mindless racket day and night, no 'kiss me quick' hats - just friendly people enjoying a gentle pace of life in a glorious setting. This is one of the most tranquil and exclusive areas of the island of Tenerife.
The village has been built around the traditional style plaza with the beautiful church at its heart. The church boasts an interesting selection of bronze sculptures with a dramatic painting over the altar. This plaza is the hub of the village. Take time out and enjoy a glass of local wine or a coffee and just watch the world go by. If you're lucky the local 'parakeetas' will put on an aerial display for you in one of the large leafy trees.
There are stunning views across the bay to the island of La Gomera which rises majestically from the twinkling ocean like some romantic fairy castle. . Relax with a chilled glass of excellent local vino at sunset and feast your eyes on the spectacular free show as the sun plops into the sea coating the island and water in golden light. The magnificent Los Gigantes cliffs soar away down the coast beyond the village harbour helping create a sheltered year-round climate and a haven for sea birds..
Loads of places to visit/things to do (if you can prize yourself away from the swimming pool!):
Boat trips from Los Gigantes harbour take you out to watch dolphins and whales playing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Reasonably priced - I prefer the smaller boats as you get closer to the dolphins. I could hear the baby dolphin breathing as it was swimming alongside us. Not ashamed to admit it made me cry!! You can enjoy swimming in the crystal clear waters of the bay as they make the pick up at Masca.
Which reminds me take a walking tour through the Masca Gorge and you can return to Los Gigantes by boat. Bird watchers paradise.
Lorro Park i(sort of outdoor jungly zoo but set in super scenery) s a fantastic day out for the youngsters, as is the giant water park - our boys loved it!!
Mount Teide is really worth visiting - the highest peak in Spain. Watch out for your breakfast on the cable car! And do wear warm clothes if you go to the top otherwise you could find yourself walking through snow and ice in your shorts and T shirt!! The drive up through the beautiful forests with amazing, dizzying (in places), panoramic views is incredible.
The Pyramids at Guima are fascinating - I will have to visit again. If you like history you'll LOVE this.

"........ a fantastic week in Los Gigantes and 312 El Marques Palace. Everything was absolutely wonderful and the apartment so very comfortable. It was very hot .......the evenings were heavenly, first the sunset and then the moon and the stars....... certainly my idea of heaven."
"......Dear Terry and Felicity, Thank you for our stay in your beautiful apartment, 312 Marques Palace in Tenerife. We really enjoyed it. The weather was wonderful (we went to the Arena beach) and our children played in the waves. We enjoyed watching BBC which was a nice fresh chance to watch quality TV instead of the Dutch commercial stations! The apartment was so luxury and well equipped, I felt like a princess! Unfortunately we did not have the chance to watch the dolphins, hopefully next year. We did go to La Gomera and that was a worthwhile trip. I think that the Los Gigantes area is far the most beautiful part of Tenerife and it was just a dream to be there. The people at the reception and the cleaning ladies were very kind and helpful. Well, you probably notice I am a bit sentimental and regret that the holiday is over.........." Mrs. A - Holland.
"....Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our holiday at your apartment, 312 El Marques Palace. The apartment was great, spotless and had everything anyone could need (including juicer that we used daily!!). We had a lovely relaxing time and ate far too much in a different restaurant every night!!!"
".....Another superb week, and I can honestly say that I have never returned from holiday feeling so relaxed and refreshed.People are starting to recognise us in the restaurants, etc., now as 'old timers'."
"......I had the greatest difficulty getting Luke and Carlie on to the plane, they wanted to stay at El Marques Palace much longer. All I can say is, thank you and hopefully we will be able to visit again, maybe next year." Alan R,
"......Thanks for 312. We had a great couple of weeks. The apartment is perfect." Jim Q,
"......We had an absolutely fantastic time at The Palace! Very relaxing and great weather too. People, food, service all lived up to expectations. Jo's mum and dad really enjoyed themselves and want to go back" Irf and Jo L,
