We've stayed here before and were very happy to return. It's right on the harbour and the closest you're going to get to the beach, very close to a good supermarket open from 8am to10pm. The rooms are basic but comfortable, bright, open and fresh, cleaned every 3 days. The TV tuned in to BBC 1 and 2, ITV and some Channel 4 channels as well as Spanish radio.
Of course there was a kettle - if there wasn't one just ask at reception. There's no toaster but the cooker has a fast grill. The fridge was absolutely fine, with a large freezer: if, as another person has alleged, the fridge was 'warm' it was broken. Alternatively, they could turn the thermostat down. I don't know what people do that needs bed linen and towels changing so often: in 10 nights ours was changed once and we could have had them changed as often as we wanted. The mattresses are almost a foot deep and very comfortable.
The kitchen is basic. Two saucepans, two frying pans, cutlery, crockery, moka pot, basic cooking utensils, a pyrex bowl and a colander, a bread knife, one larger and small knife that were not sharp. We buy a very sharp veg knife from the local supermarket for £2.50.
Reception staff were kind and helpful.
Water pressure is excellent, hot water available whenever we wanted it. Water comes out of the ordinary plastic shower head...We've stayed here before and were very happy to return.

Water pressure is excellent, hot water available whenever we wanted it. Water comes out of the ordinary plastic shower head and the shower curtain keeps the water in the bath: again, I don't know what people expect. The water is soft in Tenerife.
We'd happily return to Poblado Marinero, why spend more to climb up and down the very steep hills?More
