Alua Tenerife Puerto de la Cruz All Inclusive
Alua Tenerife is a family-friendly resort in Puerto de la Cruz on Tenerife's greener north coast. Three freshwater pools including an indoor pool and children's pool, Astro Club for ages 4–12, daytime and evening entertainment, a gym, wellness area, buffet and à la carte dining and family accommodation sleeping up to six make it a much fuller resort than the original page suggested.
What Is Alua Tenerife Really Like?
This is a very different Tenerife experience from staying in Costa Adeje or Playa de las Américas.
Puerto de la Cruz sits on Tenerife's greener north coast, where volcanic beaches, mature gardens and traditional town streets replace the purpose-built feel of some southern resorts.
Alua Tenerife itself is a substantial family hotel rather than simply a base for sightseeing. Guests have outdoor and indoor swimming, children's facilities, entertainment, wellness, gym, restaurants and bars available within the resort.
The hotel is also particularly useful for visiting Loro Parque, which Alua highlights as being close to the property.
Alua Tenerife makes the strongest case for travellers who want a proper All Inclusive resort while experiencing northern Tenerife. Families get strong room choice and Astro Club, while couples can use Puerto de la Cruz, the wellness area, gardens and volcanic coastline as part of a more varied holiday.

Three Freshwater Pools
The swimming setup is one of the clearest hotel-specific strengths.
Main Outdoor Pool
The main outdoor freshwater pool provides the central swimming and sunbathing area for ordinary hotel days.
Children's Pool
Younger guests have a separate children's swimming pool rather than relying only on the main adult pool.
Indoor Pool & Whirlpool
The current hotel facilities include an indoor pool, while Jet2 also lists a whirlpool within the pool facilities.
Pool opening, heating and seasonal operating arrangements should be checked for your exact travel dates.
Astro Club – Ages 4 To 12
Alua Tenerife currently operates its Astro Club for children aged 4–12.
The programme includes supervised activities, water games, painting and organised entertainment.
The hotel currently states that Astro Club operates during school holidays.
If a children's club is an important reason for choosing the hotel, check your exact school-holiday dates before booking rather than assuming Astro Club operates throughout the entire year.
Rooms & Family Accommodation
This is one of the biggest areas where the old page was missing valuable detail.
Double Room
Current standard Double Rooms measure around 32m² and sleep up to three guests.
They include two single beds, balcony or terrace, mini-fridge, kettle, safe, satellite television and shower room.
Double Pool View
Pool View Doubles are also around 32m² and sleep up to three.
The main difference is the furnished balcony or terrace facing the pool area.
Double Ocean View
Current Ocean View Doubles measure around 32m² and sleep up to three guests.
They add Atlantic views from the furnished balcony or terrace.
Suite
Current Suites measure around 40m² and accommodate up to four guests.
They include a separate bedroom, living room with sofa bed and furnished balcony.
Two-Bedroom Suite
The two-bedroom Suite is one of the hotel's strongest family categories.
At around 60m², it sleeps up to six guests with four single beds plus a double sofa bed.
Duplex
The current Duplex category measures around 55m² and sleeps up to four guests.
It has two separate bedrooms on different floors, plus sea and pool views.
One-Bedroom Apartment
Current one-bedroom apartments are around 40m² and sleep up to four.
They include a separate bedroom, living room, sofa bed and equipped kitchen.
Presidential Suite
The current Presidential Suite is around 70m² with Atlantic views, a large furnished terrace and space for up to four guests.
Check the exact TUI room category carefully. A 32m² Double, 40m² Suite and 60m² two-bedroom Suite are very different options, particularly for families staying a week or longer.
Food & Drink
Terra Restaurant
Terra is the main buffet restaurant, serving international and local food for the main meal periods.
Breakfast includes healthy options, fruit, juices and live cooking, while lunch and dinner include vegetarian choices and themed evenings.
À La Carte Dining
Jet2 currently lists a second restaurant alongside the main buffet, giving the hotel more dining choice than the original page suggested.
Four Bars
Jet2 currently lists four bars including cocktail, lobby, pool and lounge-bar options.
What Does All Inclusive Include?
Alua Tenerife currently states that its All Inclusive programme operates from approximately 11am until 11pm.
Current inclusions are:
- Breakfast at the buffet restaurant.
- Lunch at the buffet restaurant.
- Dinner at the buffet restaurant.
- Snacks from approximately 11:30am–1pm.
- Further snacks from approximately 3pm–6pm.
- Selected national and international alcoholic drinks.
- Selected non-alcoholic drinks.
Jet2 likewise lists breakfast, lunch, evening meal, snacks and drinks as part of the current All Inclusive board.
The hotel currently states that certain specialist outlets, including its rooftop/premium dining-bar options, are outside the standard All Inclusive programme. Check the live booking for the exact 2026/2027 arrangement.
What Is It Like For Families?
Families are one of Alua Tenerife's clearest audiences.
Astro Club, children's swimming, daytime activities and family rooms sleeping four or six make the hotel much more practical than the old page suggested.
Loro Parque nearby gives families another major day out without needing to travel across the island to the south.
What Is It Like For Couples?
Couples can benefit from the wellness area, gym, Ocean View rooms and Puerto de la Cruz setting.
The north coast also suits couples who want gardens, walking, traditional towns and scenery rather than spending every day around the southern resort strips.
For a fully adults-only experience, AluaSoul Orotava Valley is another nearby option.
Wellness & Gym
Wellness Area
The current wellness area offers treatments ranging from massage to physiotherapy.
The wellness facility is currently for guests aged 16+ and treatment services carry an additional charge.
Gym
The gym includes cardio and strength-training equipment such as exercise bikes, treadmills and elliptical machines.
Gym access is currently restricted to guests aged 16+.
Daytime & Evening Entertainment
Alua currently advertises entertainment throughout the day and evening.
During the day, organised sports and recreational activities are available for adults and children.
Evening entertainment can include live performances, music and themed shows.
That makes Alua Tenerife much more of a self-contained resort than the original page indicated.
How Far Is The Beach?
Jet2 currently places Alua Tenerife around 300 metres from the beach.
Puerto de la Cruz is known for darker volcanic sand rather than the pale golden beaches found in some southern Tenerife resorts.
That gives the coastline a very different look and is part of the reason north Tenerife feels less like a conventional package-holiday resort.
Loro Parque
The hotel's own website specifically highlights its location close to Loro Parque.
This is one of Tenerife's best-known family attractions and one of the main advantages of staying in Puerto de la Cruz rather than the south.
It gives families a substantial day out without requiring a long cross-island journey.
Puerto de la Cruz Resort Guide
Jet2 currently places the main Puerto de la Cruz resort centre about 1.5km from Alua Tenerife.
The town combines traditional Canarian streets, restaurants and plazas with volcanic beaches, lush gardens and a genuine working-town feel.
This is one of the biggest differences between Alua Tenerife and the hotels in Costa Adeje or Playa de las Américas: the town itself is a significant part of the holiday.
Lago Martiánez & The Seafront
Lago Martiánez is one of Puerto de la Cruz's most distinctive attractions: a large seawater-pool complex beside the Atlantic.
It gives visitors another swimming option beyond the hotel pools and beaches, while the surrounding seafront provides restaurants, cafés and walking routes.
Gardens & Northern Tenerife
Botanical Garden
Puerto de la Cruz's botanical garden contains a huge variety of tropical and subtropical plants and is one of the reasons the north feels so much greener than southern Tenerife.
La Orotava
Explore traditional Canarian architecture, historic streets and viewpoints overlooking the Orotava Valley.
Anaga Rural Park
Head north-east for dramatic mountain scenery, walking routes and one of Tenerife's wildest landscapes.
Good Days Out From Alua Tenerife
🦜 Loro Parque
The obvious nearby family attraction and one of Puerto de la Cruz's major draws.
🌋 Mount Teide
Travel into Tenerife's volcanic interior for a complete contrast to the green north coast.
🌿 La Orotava
Explore historic streets, traditional houses and views across the valley.
🏊 Lago Martiánez
Spend a day at the famous seawater pool complex beside the Atlantic.
🥾 Anaga
Walk through dramatic mountain scenery and ancient laurel forest.
🏛 La Laguna
Explore the historic streets of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, one of Tenerife's most important cultural centres.
Transfer Time
Jet2 currently gives an approximate resort transfer time of two hours to Puerto de la Cruz.
This is one of the main trade-offs of choosing north Tenerife: many UK package flights arrive at Tenerife South Airport, so the coach journey is significantly longer than transfers to Costa Adeje or Playa de las Américas.
If travelling with younger children, a private transfer can be worth comparing against the included coach transfer.
Puerto de la Cruz Weather – Temperature & Sunshine
Northern Tenerife is generally greener and can be cloudier than the south, but temperatures remain mild throughout the year.
Approximate north-Tenerife destination averages for general holiday planning, not a live forecast.
When Is The Best Time To Stay?
December To March
Useful for mild winter breaks, Loro Parque and sightseeing without summer heat.
May To August
Warmer weather, stronger pool conditions and the main family holiday season.
September To November
Warm temperatures remain, with excellent conditions for combining Puerto de la Cruz with Teide, La Orotava and northern-Tenerife exploring.
