Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

Yes, free wifi throughout the hotel, in the rooms and in the communal areas. You get the password at check-in.

It's the most economical option. The package already includes the direct booking discount plus an additional discount for booking flight and hotel together, and it saves you time by cutting out intermediaries. If you have already booked hotel only and don't have your flights yet, you can rebook as a package and the hotel price will work out lower.

The flight + hotel product does not allow you to book several rooms in a single transaction, nor more than 3 adults per booking. If you need more than one room, make a separate booking for each one according to its occupancy. We recommend choosing the same hotel and the same flights (same airline and times) for all bookings so that all passengers travel together.

No. The shuttle has to be booked in advance and confirmed by email. You cannot just turn up at the airport or at the hotel pick-up point without a confirmed shuttle booking.

In total we have 43 car spaces (24 outdoor and 19 underground), 12 reduced mobility spaces, 6 for motorbikes and 6 for electric cars (3 outdoor and 3 underground). Spaces cannot be reserved.

Seats and extras cannot yet be selected during the booking process. Once the package is complete, go to the airline's website with your flight booking reference and your email to add seats, meals, special assistance or luggage. If you don't choose a seat, one will be assigned to you at random at check-in. For any queries about the flights, you can email booking@maarlab.com.

No. Even if your booking meets the conditions for the free service, you have to book the shuttle in advance and receive its confirmation by email.

It is a family hotel: we welcome guests of all ages.

Baggage is added via the drop-down menu during booking and increases the deposit payable. If you didn't include it when booking, email booking@maarlab.com to add it for the corresponding cost.

We offer bed and breakfast, half board and All Inclusive. All Inclusive is served mainly at The Pier, with snacks, selected drinks and dinners at themed restaurants depending on the length and conditions of your stay.

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.

Both the hotel and the flights work with dynamic pricing, which changes according to demand and dates, so they are not always comparable from one year to the next. Booking in advance usually secures the best price and availability.

Congratulations! Let us know in advance with your booking number, the date and the reason for the celebration.

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:

• OxyGuard Emulsion, main detergent. Odourless. Non-ionic surfactants, phosphonates, polycarboxylates and optical brighteners. Data sheet (PDF, in Spanish)
• Turbo Break, wash booster. Odourless. Sodium hydroxide. Data sheet (PDF, in Spanish)
• OxyGuard Bright Alpha E, wash additive. Odourless. Preservative: 2-phenoxyethanol. Data sheet (PDF, in Spanish)
• OxyGuard Bright Beta E, oxygen bleach. Vinegar-like smell, no fragrance. Hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. Data sheet (PDF, in Spanish)
• Ecobrite Neutrasoft, fabric softener. Fragranced. Cationic and non-ionic surfactants, perfume and the three allergens above. Data sheet (PDF, in Spanish)

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.
