Inspired by the colourful colonial influences of Mexican architecture, the Hotel Europe Villa Cortes is located in the centre of the old part of Playa de las Americas, 200 metres from the shopping district and closer still to the beach walk. The 151 guestrooms incorporate touches of traditional Mexican design. All rooms extend to balconies or terraces and are equipped with satellite television, Internet connections, direct-dial phones, minibars, and safes. Marble-tiled bathrooms include showers, bidets, bathrobes, and complimentary toiletries. Guests can laze around by the outdoor swimming pool, unwind with a massage or burn off some energy on the tennis courts. Parents can take a romantic stroll along the hotel's private beach or enjoy cocktails at the poolside bar while the children are kept entertained with supervised activities. When it comes to dining, guests of the hotel can visit the buffet restaurant or choose from a la carte menus featuring Spanish, Bavarian, and Mexican flavours. Some of the restaurants offer the chance to dine al fresco with views over the pool and out to sea. The Beach Club features a Mediterranean kitchen, and barbecues for groups and special parties can be organised on the beach. The hotel houses conference and banquet facilities able to accommodate up to 150 people. Multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk can provide room service (limited hours), exchange currency and advise on local sights and attractions. Secure valet parking is available for guests arriving by car (surcharge). Golf enthusiasts will find the nearest course within two kilometres of the hotel and further courses within a 15 kilometre radius. The hotel is sited 40 kilometres from the Teide National Park, which features a vast, extinct volcanic crater, 48 kilometres in circumference. Reina Sofia (Tenerife South) Airport is 18 kilometres away, with an approximate driving time of 20 minutes.
The hotel operates a shuttle service to and from the airport (surcharge), and this should be arranged with prior notice. Alternatively, visitors will find a taxi rank outside the airport.
