Overview of Gara Suites Golf & SPA
The golf in the name is not decoration. Gara Suites Golf & SPA sits on Calle Landa in Playa de las Américas, roughly 0.3 km from the fairways of Golf Las Americas, close enough that the course is effectively on the doorstep. The property is part of the Arona municipality, the resort district on the island's sunny south coast, and Traveloka lists it as a 4-star hotel with 437 rooms spread over four floors.
That combination of a large room count and a low-rise layout shapes the character of the stay. With only four floors, the hotel leans on its open-air spaces, with three outdoor pools, a garden, a terrace and sun loungers forming the centre of daily life. The second half of the name points to its other focus: an on-site spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, supported by a sauna and a Turkish bath.
The property describes itself in its listing as family-friendly, and the facility list backs that up with a children's pool, a game room and a TV lounge. At the same time, the spa and wellness areas give couples and solo travellers a quieter reason to book. Siam Mall is around 0.9 km away, and the Siam Park water park is about 1.4 km from the hotel.
For travellers flying in from Singapore, the practical appeal is the location relative to Tenerife South Airport (TFS), which the listing places about 16.7 km away. That is a short transfer by the standards of long-haul arrivals, and it means guests can be by the pool on the same day they land in the Canary Islands.
Room Types at Gara Suites Golf & SPA
Traveloka's listing confirms 437 air-conditioned rooms at Gara Suites Golf & SPA, but neither the structured listing data nor any official source available to us publishes a named room-tier ladder for the property. Rather than guess at categories, this section sets out what the listing confirms about the room stock as a whole, and how to choose between the options shown at booking time.
What the rooms include
According to the room information on Traveloka, rooms feature minibars and flat-screen televisions with satellite programming. Free WiFi is listed as a hotel-wide facility, so staying connected should not depend on which room you pick. Bathrooms come with either a bathtub or a shower, along with a bidet and a hair dryer. In-room conveniences listed include a phone, a safe and a desk, which is useful if you need to answer a few emails between sessions at the pool.
Choosing a room on the booking page
Because the room categories and bed configurations available can change by season, the safest approach is to check the live room list on the Gara Suites Golf & SPA page when you search your dates. Look at the stated occupancy, the bed type and any notes about views or outdoor space for each option. The listing mentions that some rooms have outdoor areas such as balconies, patios or terraces, and advises families to contact the property before arrival if they have concerns about these spaces with young children.
Occupancy notes for families and groups
One detail worth knowing before you book: the policy section states that no rollaway or extra beds are available at Gara Suites Golf & SPA. Families travelling with children should therefore choose a room whose standard occupancy already covers everyone in the party, rather than planning to add a bed after arrival. The policy also notes that extra-person charges may apply depending on property rules, and that only registered guests are allowed in the guestrooms.
Facilities and Amenities
For a resort-style property, Gara Suites Golf & SPA has a broad facility list, and much of it is built around the outdoors. The amenities description confirms three outdoor pools, joined by a dedicated children's pool, pool sun loungers and a poolside bar. Note that pool access is listed as running from 10 AM to 6:30 PM, so early swimmers and evening dippers should plan around those hours.
Spa and wellness
The spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. The listing states that massage services require a reservation, which can be made by contacting the hotel before arrival using the details on your booking confirmation. Alongside the treatment rooms, guests can use the sauna and Turkish bath, and there is a fitness centre for those who want to keep up a routine on holiday.

- Leisure: game room, billiards, TV lounge, garden and terrace

Services and business facilities
Guest services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, porter, luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and multilingual staff, which helps in a resort area that welcomes visitors from across Europe and beyond. For working travellers and event planners, the hotel lists business facilities and conference space totalling around 80 square metres, including two meeting rooms, plus banquet facilities. A gift shop and ATM/banking are listed among nearby facilities.
Location and Getting There
Gara Suites Golf & SPA is at Calle Landa 2, Playa de las Américas, Arona, 38650, in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The listing places it about 1.6 km from Playa de las Américas beach, beside the golf course and within a short drive of the beaches and nightlife that define this stretch of coast. The listing notes that Siam Park and Puerto Colón Marina are both within about a five-minute drive.

Arriving by air
The nearest airport is Tenerife South Airport (TFS), roughly 16.7 km from the hotel. Tenerife North Airport (TFN) is much further at around 79.4 km, so for a stay in Playa de las Américas the southern airport is the natural choice. Travellers from Singapore will usually connect through a European or Middle Eastern hub; you can search and compare flights to Tenerife on Traveloka to find a connection that suits your schedule. The listing does not show an airport transfer service, so plan on a taxi, a rental car or a pre-booked transfer from the airport. If you are driving, remember that guests must contact the property in advance to reserve on-site parking.
Dining at Gara Suites Golf & SPA
Traveloka's listing confirms one on-site restaurant and two bars at Gara Suites Golf & SPA. The main dining venue is Restaurante Mediterraneo, which serves hotel guests, and its name signals the broad style of the menu. For lighter bites during the day there is a snack bar and deli, which suits families who would rather not leave the pool area for a full sit-down lunch.
Drinks are covered by the poolside bar and the hotel's bars and lounges, giving guests somewhere to wind down after a round at Golf Las Americas or an afternoon at the spa. The listing does not state whether breakfast is included, and this can vary by rate, so check the meal details on each room option before you confirm.
Special dates
If you plan to stay over New Year, note that the property lists a mandatory New Year's Eve gala dinner for stays on 31 December. According to the listing, the fee for this dinner is included in the total price displayed for that date, so there should be no surprise at check-out, but it is worth knowing in advance if you had other plans for the evening.
Eating out nearby
Beyond the hotel, the Playa de las Américas area offers plenty of variety within a short ride. Siam Mall, under a kilometre away, is a convenient stop for shopping and a bite, and the Veronicas Strip is about 1.4 km away for an evening out. To round out the trip, browse things to do and attractions in Tenerife on Traveloka, from water parks to boat trips out of Puerto Colón.
Why Stay at Gara Suites Golf & SPA
Most hotels in Playa de las Américas sell themselves on the beach. Gara Suites Golf & SPA offers a different pitch: a large, low-rise property next to a golf course, with a spa and three pools on site, and the beaches and Siam Park still only a short drive away. It suits travellers who want the convenience of the resort strip without staying right in the middle of it.
- Golfers: Golf Las Americas is roughly 0.3 km away, close enough to walk to an early tee time.
- Wellness seekers: a spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna, a Turkish bath and a fitness centre.
- Families: a children's pool, a game room and a TV lounge, with Siam Park around 1.4 km away.
- Business and events: two meeting rooms, conference space and banquet facilities, supported by a business centre.
- Peace of mind: a 24-hour front desk, concierge and multilingual staff to help with plans during your stay.
With 437 rooms, it is also a sizeable property, which can help when you are searching for space across busy holiday periods. If you would like to weigh it against other options before committing, you can compare other hotels in Tenerife on Traveloka with the same dates and filters.
Tips for Booking Gara Suites Golf & SPA on Traveloka
- Check the room details carefully. Since no extra beds or rollaways are available, choose a room whose standard occupancy fits your whole party.
- Reserve parking early. On-site self parking carries a charge, and the property asks guests to contact it in advance to reserve a space.
- Book spa treatments ahead. Massages require a reservation, which you can request using the contact details in your booking confirmation.
- Plan around check-in and check-out. Check-in starts from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Late check-out is available for a fee, subject to availability.
- Bring ID and a card. Government-issued photo ID and a card or deposit for incidental charges may be required at check-in, and the listing indicates the property accepts credit cards; confirm payment options with the hotel if in doubt.
- Mind the pool hours. Pool access runs from 10 AM to 6:30 PM, so plan beach or excursion days around that window.
- Travelling with a service animal? The policy states that service animals are allowed.
Rates, room availability and meal options at Gara Suites Golf & SPA change with the season, so compare a few date combinations before you book. When everything is set, you can manage flights, stays and activities for the whole trip from the Traveloka homepage.
