Did you know that the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands called their king “The Mencey”? Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey offers you an experience fit for a king in the only 5-star hotel in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, just ten minutes’ walk from the city centre. This is why it has been chosen by monarchs, famous actors, musicians and artists. Enjoy this avant-garde hotel where more than 70 years of history have been respected by conserving the essence of its Canarian architecture. Relax in its gardens, its pool and the 4,500 m² of the SPA Sensations. We have two recommendations: experience the Papa Negra Sprunch, which combines 90 minutes in the SPA Sensations hydrotherapy circuit with an exquisite gourmet brunch. And to round it off, have a coffee in the Iballa, a true landmark in the city, which has hosted all the famous faces whose pictures line the walls.

    Perfect for a short business trip

    The hotel is very suitable for a short business trip. Check in and check out process is smooth and efficient (special thanks to Miriam , Sharon and the trainee Miryam at the front desk). Coffee shop terrace is very good (big thanks to Klaudia who was super). The rooms and the facility in general is old not up to a 5 star expectations.

    Beautiful

    Stayed for one night during our stay in Santa Cruz. This is a beautiful hotel across the street from a beautiful park and within walking distance to many restaurants, shops and the port. My only wish was that we stayed another night. Utilized the pool and enjoyed a great breakfast. Would 1000% stay here again.

    “October Bliss: A Relaxing Couples’ Getaway

    We stayed here for 7 nights on a B&B basis. Despite arriving late, check-in was quick, and we were informed where we could still grab a bite to eat. The breakfast selection was extensive, whilst only scrambled eggs were available at the buffet, you could request any other style, and they would prepare them fresh, which I personally preferred over fried eggs sitting under a heat lamp. The pool area was well-maintained, with plenty of sunbeds available. During our stay, only one family on one occasion, resorted to reserving beds with towels, though there was more than enough space for everyone. A lovely touch was the complimentary cocktails served poolside twice a day. Carlos, the friendly bartender from Cuba, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Our room overlooked a small road, but we had a distant view of the sea. The room itself was spacious, spotless, and serviced by housekeeping daily. We couldn’t find a single fault with this hotel. The staff were all exceptionally friendly, helpful, and professional. Despite being located in the town, the hotel offered a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. An area of the hotel we particularly enjoyed was the terrace situated just off the reception where we would sit each morning after breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future.

    Fantastic Stay Iberostar Heritage Grand Mencey

    What an amazing find on TUI, stayed 4 nights half board. Hotel is definitely 5 star, cleanliness, hotel staff and amazing food, even got a free upgrade on our room and all in the heart of Santa Cruz. Pool area was clean with plenty of sun beds. Free cocktails by the pool. Gym was the best we have used at an overseas hotel.
