Columbus Aparthotel
Spain, Europe
Playa de Las Americas
The bustling, vibrant Playa de las Americas is one of Tenerife's most popular resorts. It's got the sun and the sand, all the sights to see and views to snap, all the shops by day and entertainment by night. No wonder that people are drawn here – and to hotels like the Columbus Aparthotel. Like Playa de las Americas, the Columbus Aparthotel has got it all. All the amenities, all the facilities, and all the high standards you'd expect of one of the region's most popular hotels.
Columbus Aparthotel is beach adjacent, and choc-full of amenities:
When you're a mere 800 metres from the beach, you know you're going to be spending a lot of time there. And that's just one of the perks of staying at the Columbus Aparthotel. Another is your close proximity to the heart of Playa de las Americas, and all that it has to offer including shops, bars and restaurants, and of course, the nightlife (Plays de las Americas is famous for it). But the Columbus Aparthotel is much more than a base for dipping in and out of the action. There's more than enough to keep you entertained…
One of the biggest features of the Columbus Aparthotel is undoubtedly the superb arrangement of swimming pools. Divided into distinct sections, the pool 'complex' is a beautiful design feature as well as a great place to spend a few hours… maybe even a long afternoon, drifting into evening.
That's another wonderful thing about the Columbus Aparthotel – the very laidback attitude to life. Outside in Playa de las Americas, it's all hustle and bustle, but here in the grounds of the Columbus, it's all long afternoons by the pool and long cool drinks. And talking of relaxing. Do check out the sauna and Jacuzzis. There's still plenty more to the Columbus Aparthotel: a handy on-site mini market, laundry facility and games room for example. The Columbus Aparthotel also benefits from generously sized rooms – and larger rooms (with lounges) are available if you wish. Satellite TV is also available for a small fee.
Choose the Columbus Aparthotel and you'll enjoy all the excitement of Plays de las Americas and the laidback vibe of the Columbus Aparthotel. It's the perfect combination.

Dont always believe what you read.
This is a 3 star hotel and some reviews are very harsh .Yes it can be a bit lively but we all did are first boys/girls holidays so give them a break.Food not bad ,Rooms dated but OK ,Staff ok hard working but not the most helpful .Location excellent and value for money Very good.If you go on holidays just to pull them apart pay for 5 star and not expect perfection from a 3 star hotel .I visit Las Americas 2/3 times a year and will be visiting this hotel again in November if I geta good deal.
nice hotel and did the job mostly
Stayed here and we got the all inclusive package and a standard room. As we were waiting for our room we went to the bar by reception and asked for a cocktail menu, to which the staff said that there was no cocktail menu and that there are only 2 cocktails included in the all inclusive, one of them being sex on the beach every single day, and then the other one changes daily. This was a shock to us as we paid a lot of money to have all inclusive, and was not expecting to have to pay €6 each every time we wanted a pina colada. Also no ciders/ breezers, slushies, etc were on the all inclusive either!!! This was such a shame for us as it limited our options and expectations. That being said, spirits were included on the all inclusive so we ended up having malibu and coke a lot of the time. Beware they also have a rule where you have to pay one euro in cash (each person) to get a plastic cup which you return every time for a new one then at the end of your stay you give the cups back and get your euro deposit back. (so make sure u bring euros as we didn’t)
In addition, the food hall was quite repetitive and there wasn’t a fat lot of choice to choose from.
The room was basic but spotless when we arrived, and everything worked, with good air con, comfy bedding, a powerful shower and a good size balcony. Maids were very quick at changing bedding, mopping floors and did a speedy job, including changing our towels.
You also have to pay for a safe if you want one, which was €25, and then you get €10 at the end of the stay if you return the key.
We saw some reviews before attending here, moaning about the noise, and yes, it’s not silent, but it didn’t disturb us (on nights where we didn’t go out) however you should expect some noise as the hotel is surrounded by bars nearby and the strip is only a short walk away, so there are going to be people coming back late at night / early hours of the morning.
Lastly, we found the location to be spot on, and couldn’t have chosen a better area. Across the road is a supermarket, and a mercadona nearby, and the strip was a short walk which was great, and there were also plenty of bars in walking distance too.
Chilled out
Been here twice. Once for a summer family holiday and again for my hen do. It’s cheap, clean and in a great location. We’d come back - don’t expect a luxury resort haha but the pools are great. Lots of loungers. The paid cocktail bar is nice. It’s loud though? The music is a lot. They play chavvy tunes haha. The entertainment team is a bit naff haha. It is a classic 3 star. No pretentious people but can feel a little rough at times but we kinda liked that? It’s chilled out. We booked with jet2, pretty alright as per. I don’t mind the airport I actually think compared to lots of other airports it’s not too bad.

August 1 week stay
Just came back from a weeks stay here and we had a great time. The rooms were spotless and were cleaned regularly throughout our stay with towels being changed.
We were all inclusive. Breakfast was our favourite and lunch was good too. Dinner was hit and miss but I guess it depends on what you like, there was a good selection but we chose to eat out most days. There was a good selection of alcoholic and soft drinks but it was a shame you did not have access to the corner restaurant or the pub, you had to pay extra to eat and drink here. It was reasonably priced.
Sunbeds were unlocked between 08:15-08:30am and there were still some available at around 09:30am.
In previous years the entertainment was better with aqua aerobics, water polo and darts as well as bingo and quiz night but we did not see this during our stay. There were singers at night and Kareoke.
Guests were smoking around the pool, it would be better for a dedicated smoking area as this was not nice as a non smoker.
Great hotel in Playa de Las Americas
First time staying in the KN Columbus. Been to Tenerife many times before but this place really did exceed expectations. The rooms were so spacious and really well cleaned daily. Found this hotel superb value for money compared to other places. The little onsite bar and restaurant was first class. Highly recommended and already booked for another 10 nights in October 2026.
