What you ask us before you arrive

The Mediterranean Palace sits right on the seafront at Playa del Camisón, and it is a hotel to come to as a family. Before day one, here is what you ask us most: what All Inclusive covers, what the pools are like, what there is for the youngest ones and how to get here from the airport.

They are grouped by topic, and there is a search box above to take you straight to what you need. We review them with the hotel team, so what you read here is what you will find when you arrive.

What time are check-in and check-out?

Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out is until 12:00 noon. Subject to availability, we can offer early check-in or late check-out. Late check-out has a cost depending on how late you want to stay; ask at reception about availability and the amount on the day you leave, from 9:00 am.

Is the shuttle free?

Yes: if your booking meets your hotel's conditions, you can book the shuttle for free. It always has to be a booking made on our official website or through our contact center, for 7 nights or more, arriving at or leaving from Tenerife South Airport (TFS).

  • Arona Gran Hotel, Hotel Bitácora and Hotel Vulcano: for now, both Hotel only and Flight + Hotel bookings.

If you book Flight + Hotel at Mediterranean Palace or Cleopatra Palace, from 5 October 2026 you can also add it during checkout.

How far in advance do I have to book it?

At the latest, 2 calendar days before your stay begins. For example: if your stay starts on Friday the 10th, book it by Wednesday the 8th at the latest.

If there are fewer than 2 days left, write to us at contactcenter@springhoteles.com. We'll try, but it depends on availability and we can't guarantee it.

What dining options are there?

The Mediterranean Palace and our complex have a wide choice of restaurants and bars, with buffet and à la carte options. See all the restaurants, menus and opening hours here: Mediterranean Palace dining.

Are pets allowed?

No pets of any kind are allowed in the rooms, the facilities or the communal areas of our hotels. Emotional support animals are not allowed either.

Only properly accredited assistance dogs are admitted, in accordance with the applicable regulations. We recommend letting the hotel know before you arrive so the team can get everything ready.

Can I book just one way?

Yes. You can book just your arrival, just your departure or both journeys. They are independent, so you can change or cancel one without touching the other.

Can you help us celebrate a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, honeymoon)?

Congratulations! Let us know in advance with your booking number, the date and the reason for the celebration. As a courtesy we prepare a welcome treat (water, cava, chocolates or fruit) for direct, web and VIP guests. We also have celebration packages at a charge (Romantic Room, Premium Romantic Room, Birthday Room, Premium Birthday Room and flower bouquets). Write to us and we will tell you the details, the prices and how to book them.

What times does the shuttle run?

Every hour, with the same timetable all year round:

  • Tenerife South Airport (TFS) to hotel: it leaves on the hour, from 9am to 9pm.
  • Hotel to Tenerife South Airport (TFS): each hotel has its own pick-up minute. Cleopatra Palace and Mediterranean Palace share a stop next to Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife at :50 (7:50am to 7:50pm); Hotel Bitácora on the hour (8am to 8pm); Hotel Vulcano at :05 (8:05am to 8:05pm); and Arona Gran Hotel at :15 (8:15am to 8:15pm). The shuttle reaches Tenerife South Airport (TFS) at half past the hour.

Traffic may shift the times by a few minutes.

Can I upgrade my room?

Yes, subject to availability. Write to us with your booking reference and dates and we'll send you the available upgrade options and their price. You can also request it directly at reception, subject to availability and for a charge.

Do I need to print a voucher?

No. Your name will be on the service list. When you land at Tenerife South Airport (TFS), go to the Sierra & González desks 7 and 8 in the arrivals area and they will show you to your shuttle.

Sierra & González desks 7 and 8, Tenerife South Airport

Can I request a specific room or indicate preferences (floor, connecting rooms, quiet area)?

Yes. With the 'choose your room' tool (Hotelverse) you can select the exact number of your room on the hotel map before you arrive, for a small supplement. You can use it when booking on our website and also from your booking confirmation email, entering your Booking ID. If you prefer, let us know your preferences (floor, quiet area, rooms close together) with your booking reference and we'll take them into account subject to availability.

Where am I picked up to go back to Tenerife South Airport (TFS)?

  • Arona Gran Hotel, Hotel Bitácora and Hotel Vulcano: at hotel reception.
  • Cleopatra Palace and Mediterranean Palace: at the shared stop next to Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife.

Be there 10 minutes early. The shuttle keeps to its timetable and cannot wait.

Can I choose twin beds or a double bed?

Yes. Tell us your preference (two separate beds or a double bed) when booking or write to us with your booking number. We will do our best subject to availability.

How do I contact the hotel?

Where do I catch the shuttle at Cleopatra Palace and Mediterranean Palace?

At the shared stop next to Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife, at :50 past each hour (7:50am to 7:50pm). Both hotels use the same stop. Open it in Google Maps. If it has to move temporarily because of traffic or a road closure, we will let you know by email and update this page.

Can I have an early check-in or late check-out?

Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out is until 12:00 noon. We can offer early check-in or late check-out subject to availability, sometimes at a cost. Late check-out has a cost, except for web and direct guests, for whom it is free until 4:00 pm subject to availability. For all other guests there is a supplement depending on the time, as long as occupancy allows; ask at reception about the amount and availability on the day you leave, from 9:00 am. You also have a luggage store and the option of a shower.

What if I get to the desk earlier or later than my time?

You'll need to wait for the next available shuttle. It runs on a fixed hourly timetable and is not an individual private transfer.

Where are the hotels?

All three hotels are in Playa de las Américas (Arona, Tenerife), right on the seafront of Playa del Camisón and next to the Golden Mile:

Can you add a cot, high chair or extra bed?

Yes. We can add a cot, a high chair or an extra bed depending on the room type and availability. Let us know along with your booking number and we will have it ready before you arrive.

Does the website marenostrumresort.com still exist?

No. All our hotels have come together on a single website, Spring Hotels, so marenostrumresort.com is no longer an independent site. If you go to that address or follow an old link, we take you to the equivalent page on springhoteles.com.

Here is each hotel:

What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?

  • If it's delayed: when you land, go to desks 7 and 8. You'll be moved to a later shuttle at no extra cost, subject to availability.
  • If it's cancelled and you arrive the next day: go to the Sierra & González desks 7 and 8 as well and ask for a seat on the next available shuttle.
  • If you arrive outside the shuttle's hours (it leaves Tenerife South Airport (TFS) from 9am to 9pm): you cannot use it. There is no alternative service and we do not cover taxis or private transfers.

Do the restaurants and bars still have the same names?

Yes. No restaurant or bar changes its name: you will still find Buffet Cleopatra, The Pier, Coal, Diabolo, Windsor, Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife and La Palapa Beach Club, among others.

See them all on our gastronomy page.

I have allergies or need a special diet. Can you cater for me?

Yes. Let us know in advance with your booking number and the type of allergy or intolerance (coeliac, lactose free, vegetarian, vegan, diabetic, and so on). Tell reception as well and, once at the buffet or restaurant, speak to the maître d', who will point out the dishes you can have.

I've changed my flight. How do I change the shuttle?

Update it through Manage booking, using the link in your booking confirmation email. If there are fewer than 2 calendar days left before your stay, ask at reception or write to us: we take care of it. Beyond that deadline it depends on availability, so do not count on it until we confirm it. Write to us at contactcenter@springhoteles.com.

If I miss the shuttle and take a taxi, will you refund it?

No. Spring Hotels does not refund taxis you take on your own, whether because you missed the shuttle or in situations outside the service conditions.

Is the hotel accessible? Do you have adapted rooms?

Yes. There are 14 adapted rooms and accessible communal areas. Tell us your specific needs when booking so we can confirm which room type is available.

Why do I still see the old name on Tripadvisor, Booking or social media?

Because each platform updates names on its own and on its own schedule. Tripadvisor, Booking and other booking sites, and social media profiles, may keep showing Mare Nostrum Resort for a while as the changes go through.

They are the same hotels, with the same team and in the same place. We are updating our profiles and asking each platform to change the name, so for a while you may see us under both names.

To book safely, always do it at springhoteles.com or by calling +34 822 249 355: booking on the official website guarantees the best price and exclusive perks.

Can I still organise weddings, events and meetings with you?

Yes. We still organise weddings, celebrations, meetings and corporate events. Explore our spaces and request your proposal at Events and celebrations.

If you would like to celebrate by the sea, also discover La Palapa Beach Club, on El Camisón beach.

Can you smoke in the hotel?

Smoking is not allowed indoors. You may only smoke on the terraces of the first floor rooms and in the designated areas of the pool zone.

Does it run from Tenerife North airport?

No. The service only runs to and from Tenerife South Airport (TFS).

How much luggage can I bring?

One piece of hand luggage and one checked suitcase per passenger. If you are bringing a second checked suitcase, tell us when you book. Bikes, golf clubs, pushchairs and any other special luggage must be requested when you book the shuttle and depend on space. If you don't let us know in advance, it may be refused if there is no room in the vehicle. If you tell us in advance and there is any problem, we will let you know; if we say nothing, it travels with you. Luggage with batteries that cannot be removed, such as some electric bikes, is not allowed.

What is the minimum age to stay or check in?

The minimum age to register is 18. Under-18s must stay accompanied by an adult or, failing that, present an authorisation signed by their parent or legal guardian.

Where do I send my application if I want to work with you?

Send your application through our job portal. You can submit your CV there.

Can I travel in a wheelchair?

Yes, if the wheelchair is foldable or can be taken apart and you can get on the bus or minibus on your own. The shuttle has no adapted vehicles; if you need one, you'll have to book a separate specific service.

I left something behind at the hotel. How do I get it back?

Sorry about that. Write to us with the dates of your stay, the room number and a description of the item, and we will check with our housekeeping team. We keep lost property for a maximum of one month from your departure. You can collect it in person, or a relative or authorised person can do so; if you prefer it sent by courier, you will need to arrange and pay for the shipment yourself (UPS, DHL or similar) and send us the tracking number so we can hand it over.

Who do I write to if I have a complaint about a previous stay?

Write to the Contact Center at contactcenter@springhoteles.com or call +34 822 249 355. Include the hotel, the dates of your stay and your booking number, and we will reply as soon as we can.

You can also use each hotel's contact form:

Do babies need to be included in the booking?

Yes. Children under 2 must be included in the shuttle booking. They travel on an adult's lap: they do not take a seat, do not count as an extra place and are not charged.

The shuttle does not carry baby seats, and booster seats are not required. If you travel with a pushchair, tell us when you book: it counts towards the vehicle capacity.

What is the maximum occupancy and can you guarantee connecting rooms?

Standard double rooms usually take 2 adults and 1 child, and family rooms up to 4 adults and 2 children, depending on the category. Connecting or adjoining rooms are limited and must be requested; you can also book them through Hotelverse. We cannot guarantee them without prior confirmation. They are on the first, second and third floors.

Are the two rooms of the Dual Family Suite connected?

Yes. The Dual Family Suite is made up of two double rooms connected by an inner door, each with its own bathroom. The connection is part of the room: it is not a request subject to availability. It sleeps 2 adults and 2 children up to 12 years old.

Can I ask for a kettle, hangers, pillows or other room equipment?

You can request items such as a kettle, hangers, extra pillows or an iron. They are subject to stock and, in some cases, to a supplement; we will tell you what your room already includes and what counts as an extra request.

Who do I contact if I have a question or a problem with the shuttle?

How much time should I leave before my return flight?

Choose a hotel pick-up at least 3 hours before your flight is due to depart. That way you reach Tenerife South Airport (TFS) with time to spare, even if traffic slows the route down.

Where is the hotel and how do I get there from the airport?

The Mediterranean Palace is on the seafront of Playa El Camisón, next to the Golden Mile, in Playa de las Américas, within our complex. It's about 18 km from Tenerife South airport (TFS), roughly a 20-minute drive, and about 80 km from Tenerife North (TFN), around 1 hour. You can easily get here by taxi, bus or hire car.

How to get there:From the South airport (TFS)From the North airport (TFN)

What happens if I leave something on the shuttle?

If the Sierra & González team finds it, they keep it at their offices. It is not taken to the hotel or sent on a later shuttle, so you have to collect it in person at Sierra & González S.A., Prolongación Nuestra Señora del Rosario, s/n – Oroteanda, 38632 San Miguel de Abona.

Before you go, write to us at contactcenter@springhoteles.com and we will check whether it has been found.

Which products do you use to wash the bed linen and towels? I have an allergy.

The detergent and the wash additives are fragrance-free. The fabric softener does contain fragrance and declares three allergens: Hexyl cinnamal, Coumarin and Alpha-isomethyl ionone.

These are the five products, all made by Ecolab for professional use. Not every product is used in every wash, but any of them may have been used on the linen in your room:

The safety data sheets are in Spanish and written for staff who handle the concentrated product: their warnings (corrosive, irritant) refer to the undiluted product, not to the washed linen.

If you are allergic to fragrances, write to us before you arrive with your booking number and we will look into it with our housekeeping team.

Are drinks included with lunch or dinner?

No, drinks are not included, except for guests on All Inclusive.

Can children enter the Spa?

Spa access is allowed from age 16, although one day a week parents can attend with their children.

Can I swap lunch for dinner on half board?

Yes, you can choose between lunch or dinner, whichever suits you best.

Can I use the hotel facilities before check-in or after check-out?

Yes, you can enjoy the facilities before your check-in and after your check-out. We also have a luggage store to keep your baggage.

Do all rooms have a shower?

Does All Inclusive include all drinks?

Yes, except for some premium drinks such as black-label spirits or grand reserve wines.

Does the hotel offer activities and entertainment for adults?

Yes, we have daily activities for adults, with a programme that changes weekly.
