Escape to Paradise: Paula's Unicorn Apartment in Tenerife!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving headfirst into the (hopefully) sparkling turquoise waters of Escape to Paradise: Paula's Unicorn Apartment in Tenerife! and I'm not gonna lie, I'm stoked. I'm talking full-on, "grab your sunscreen and a cocktail umbrella" kind of stoked. And trust me, I've seen my fair share of… well, let's just say less than paradise-like accommodations.
This review is gonna be a bit of a rollercoaster. I'm not promising perfection, and frankly, that's what makes life (and travel) interesting, right? Let's get messy!
First Impressions & That Unicorn Vibe (or Lack Thereof):
Alright, so the name, "Paula's Unicorn Apartment," well, it sets an expectation. I'm picturing rainbows, glitter, maybe a life-sized unicorn statue guarding the door. Reality? Let's just say the unicorn vibe was… subtle. But hey, I'm not complaining. Sometimes a little less sparkle is a good thing, especially after a long flight. What did grab me was the location! Tenerife is the bomb. Gorgeous views. And the air! Smells like sunshine and… well, the sea.
Accessibility: Can Everyone Escape to Paradise?
This is HUGE for me, and I'm so glad to see it listed. Wheelchair accessible? That's a massive plus, and I'm hoping it's genuinely implemented. Facilities for disabled guests are mentioned, but the devil's in the details. I'd love to know specifically what's on offer – grab bars, accessible showers, etc. More clarity is needed here, Paula! Elevator? Thank goodness! No one wants to lug suitcases up five flights of stairs after a day of exploring. It's important, if not, it will be a deal-breaker.
On-Site Eats & Drinks (and My Stomach's Opinion):
Okay, this is where things get interesting. Restaurants, Bar, Poolside bar – all good signs! I'm a sucker for a good poolside cocktail. Asian cuisine? YES, PLEASE! I'm always up for some Pad Thai after a dip in the pool. Western cuisine is also available. Breakfast [buffet]? Sold! I'm a buffet fiend. But… breakfast takeaway service? I appreciate the option for a lazy morning. Alternative meal arrangement? Great for picky eaters (like yours truly on occasion). Coffee/tea in restaurant & Coffee shop? Essential. I need my caffeine fix, people!
The Big Question: Was the Food Good?
Okay, let's be honest, this is the real test. I'm hoping the A la carte in restaurant offers some truly delicious meals. Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant – all part of the equation. I'm really looking forward to hearing what the real reviews say.
Ways to Relax & Unwind (and My Attempt at Zen):
Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath – okay, Paula, you're speaking my language! This place sounds like a sanctuary. I'm already picturing myself lounging by the Swimming pool [outdoor]. Honestly, I could live in a sauna. Gym/fitness? Okay, maybe I'll try to use it. No promises.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because Let's Be Honest, It's 2024:
Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer – Hallelujah! Safety first, people. Rooms sanitized between stays? Excellent. Staff trained in safety protocol? Crucial. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Makes me feel much more comfortable. Room sanitization opt-out available? Love that flexibility. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter – good. Safe dining setup? Important. First aid kit? Always a good idea. Doctor/nurse on call? Peace of mind. Hot water linen and laundry washing? Yes, please!
Rooms, Rooms, Glorious Rooms! (and My Personal Must-Haves):
Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi, and free bottled water are non-negotiables for me. Air conditioning in public area? Perfect! Blackout curtains? Crucial for those late-night adventures (or just sleeping in). Bathrobes and Slippers? Yes, please! Desk, Laptop workspace? Good for when you have to get some work done (ugh). Mini bar? Always a plus. In-room safe box? Security is important. Seating area? Nice to have. Separate shower/bathtub? Makes me feel fancy. Hair dryer? Thank goodness!
Things to Do & See (and My Inner Tourist):
Okay, so the amenities list doesn't explicitly cover this, but Tenerife is bursting with possibilities! Volcanoes, beaches, hiking, whale watching… the list goes on! I'm hoping Paula's Unicorn Apartment will have some recommendations or even connections for tours. Because that's the key to really escaping.
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter:
Concierge, 24-hour front desk, Daily housekeeping, Luggage storage – these are the things that make a trip smooth. Currency exchange, Cash withdrawal? Awesome! Ironing service, Dry cleaning, Laundry service? I'll take it! Gift/souvenir shop? Gotta bring back something for the folks back home.
For the Kids (and the Kid in Me):
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal? Sounds like a great option for families! Good to see Paula's thinking about the little ones.
Getting Around & Parking:
Airport transfer? YES! After a long flight, the last thing I want to do is navigate public transport. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]? Good to know! Taxi service? Always handy.
Business Facilities:
Business facilities, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Seminars, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Xerox/fax in business center, Projector/LED display, Meeting stationery, Wi-Fi for special events - Perfect for business trips.
Safety & Security:
CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms - Peace of mind.
The Verdict (and My Honest, Messy Thoughts):
Okay, based on this info? Escape to Paradise: Paula's Unicorn Apartment in Tenerife! sounds promising. Is it perfect? Probably not. But does it have the potential to be a fantastic base for a vacation? Absolutely. I'm particularly excited about the spa, the location, and the potential for delicious food. The accessibility features are a major plus.
My Biggest Concern (and a Plea to Paula):
More details on accessibility, especially. Please be transparent about the specific features available.
My Quirky Observation:
I desperately hope they have good coffee. It's the small things, people!
My Emotional Reaction:
I'm genuinely excited! This place sounds like a good time. I'm already daydreaming of sunshine, cocktails, and maybe, just maybe, a glimpse of a unicorn.

Cebu's HOTTEST 201-Room Aircon Haven: RR WIN Lodging House!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandmother's meticulously planned itinerary. This is El Unicornio de Paula, Tenerife: A Descent into Delicious Chaos. Prepare for a trip that's less "smooth sailing" and more "slightly tipsy dinghy ride."
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Luggage Debacle (or, "Why Did I Pack So Much?")
- Morning (or, "Whenever I Finally Drag Myself Out of Bed"): Touchdown in Tenerife! The air hits you like a warm hug… or maybe that's just the jet lag. Anyway, I’m buzzing with the anticipation. The flight itself? A blur of crying babies, questionable airplane coffee, and me trying (and failing) to discreetly steal extra peanuts.
- Afternoon: Finding the Unicornio. The address sounded so elegant, but navigating the winding, sun-drenched streets… that was a different story. Google Maps, bless its digital heart, led me on a wild goose chase up a ridiculously steep hill. Finally, finally, there it was. Paula's apartment, a riot of color and charm. First impressions? "Wow, this is even more gorgeous than the pictures. I'm going to live here forever."
- The Luggage Drama: Unpacking. Oh. My. God. I swear, I brought half my closet. Why did I think I needed four pairs of shoes? This is why I need a minimalist lifestyle. Now, I'm wrestling with a suitcase that's clearly plotting my demise, and already sweating like a pig. I'm pretty sure I’ll be sleeping in the living room, because I'm too exhausted to deal with the bedroom.
- Evening: A tentative exploration of the neighborhood. Found a tiny, charming tapas bar around the corner. Ordered way too much food (because, you know, vacation) and attempted to speak Spanish. My attempts were met with a lot of laughter and a generous helping of patience from the waiter. Ended up eating patatas bravas that were the best thing I've ever tasted. Feeling slightly euphoric from the sun, the food, and the general "I'm-actually-here" feeling. Also, a glass of local wine, which may or may not have contributed to my slightly slurred Spanish. Passed out in bed at 10 pm.
Day 2: Beach Bliss and the Quest for the Perfect Coffee (and a Mild Panic Attack)
- Morning (or, "The Sun Is Up, I Guess"): Woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed! Coffee, a crucial element of my morning routine. The apartment had a Nespresso machine, but the pods were… well, not quite the right flavor. So, the quest began! Found a little bakery down the street that smelled of heaven and had the most amazing croissants. The coffee, however, was a tragic disappointment. I'm convinced I'm going to spend the entire trip searching for a decent cup. This is a crisis!
- Afternoon: Beach day! Playa de las Teresitas. The sand is imported from the Sahara! Seriously, it's golden perfection. Spent hours basking in the sun, reading a book (that I probably won't finish), and people-watching. The water was crystal clear, but surprisingly cold. Had a moment of pure, unadulterated joy just floating in the ocean.
- The Panic Attack That Wasn't (But Felt Like It): Okay, so, I’m lying on the beach, feeling gloriously relaxed, when suddenly a wave of… dread? I'm not sure. The sheer amount of time I have to myself, the lack of obligations… it hit me. Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed. What am I supposed to do with all this free time? Am I doing this right? I briefly considered going home. Then I ate a gelato and the feeling passed. Maybe I just needed sugar.
- Evening: Dinner at a restaurant overlooking the sea. The seafood was incredible, fresh, and the view was spectacular, and I was starting to feel the holiday vibes. Ordered way too much food again. Obsessed with this place, I felt like I had found heaven.
Day 3: Teide, Triumphs, and Tiny Terrors
- Morning: Conquered Mount Teide! The drive up was a bit terrifying, with hairpin turns and sheer drops. The landscape is like another planet. Volcanic rock, otherworldly views, and the air is so thin, it's a workout just breathing. The cable car ride was even more terrifying. I spent most of the ascent with my eyes squeezed shut, muttering prayers to whoever might be listening. But the views at the top? Absolutely breathtaking. Worth every ounce of panic.
- Afternoon: Explored the lunar landscapes around Teide. It felt like being on the moon. Found a tiny, adorable lizard sunning itself on a rock. A minor victory of the day, I thought.
- The Tiny Terror: Back at the apartment, I discovered a tiny, tiny cockroach scuttling across the kitchen counter. My inner child came out in shrieks. Spent a solid hour chasing it with a shoe. Finally, mission accomplished. But now I'm paranoid. I might not sleep tonight. This is a crisis!
- Evening: Decided to treat myself to a fancy dinner to calm my nerves. The food was good, but I kept jumping at shadows. Maybe I should have just stayed in, ordered pizza, and watched a movie.
Day 4: Lost in La Laguna and the Art of Doing Nothing
- Morning: Wandered the streets of La Laguna, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The architecture is stunning, the streets are cobblestone, and I got gloriously lost. Which was, honestly, the point. Found a charming little bookstore and bought way too many books (again). The Spanish language is beautiful.
- Afternoon: Spent the afternoon on the balcony, doing absolutely nothing. Just sitting, sipping coffee (still searching for the perfect cup), and watching the world go by. This is what I needed, and I finally got it.
- The Art of Doing Nothing: I'm starting to get the hang of this "vacation" thing. Learning to embrace the mess, the imperfections, the moments of existential dread. Realizing that sometimes, the best thing you can do is just be.
- Evening: Cooked dinner in the apartment. Attempted to make paella. It was… not perfect. Let's just say, it looked better than it tasted. But I made it myself, and that's what counts, right? Finished the night with a glass of wine on the balcony, watching the stars. Maybe I'm starting to understand this "Tenerife" thing.
Day 5: The Last Supper (or, "Why Did I Leave It So Late?")
- Morning: Shopping for souvenirs. Of course, I left it until the last day. Rushed around, buying things I probably didn't need. Panic-buying, basically.
- Afternoon: One last swim in the ocean. One last walk along the beach. One last gelato. Soaking it all in, trying to imprint every moment on my memory.
- The Last Supper: Dinner at a restaurant with a view. Ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. Eating slowly, savoring every bite, knowing this was my last meal. The waiter was patient with my terrible Spanish. The sunset was incredible. Tears in my eyes.
- Evening: Packing. The dreaded packing. Realized I'd bought even more stuff than I thought. Stuffing everything into my suitcase, praying it would close. Feeling a mixture of sadness and exhaustion. Also, dreading the flight home.
Day 6: Departure and the Promise of Return
- Morning: Said goodbye to El Unicornio. I felt a pang of sadness leaving the apartment. I’d grown to love the place.
- The Flight: Another blur of crying babies and questionable airplane coffee. But this time, I didn't mind so much.
- Arrival at Home: Unpacked my suitcase. Found a tiny cockroach in my bag. Maybe Tenerife followed me home.
- Final Thoughts: Tenerife was… chaotic. Beautiful. Exhausting. And absolutely unforgettable. I left with a suitcase full of souvenirs, a heart full of memories, and a deep craving for another cup of coffee. I'll be back. Definitely. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll pack less next time. (Probably not.)
Escape to Paradise: Paula's Unicorn Apartment in Tenerife - The Unfiltered FAQs!
Okay, so... "Unicorn Apartment"? Seriously? Is it *actually* unicorn-y?
Alright, let's address the majestic, pink elephant in the room (or, you know, the glittery, horn-shaped object on the wall). Yes, it's a Unicorn Apartment. And yes, Paula, bless her cotton socks, *fully* commits. Think glitter, rainbows, maybe a strategically placed unicorn head. Look, my first reaction? "Oh dear God, what have I gotten myself into?" But then, you know what? It's *hilarious*. It's like living inside a five-year-old's dream, but with a really good view of the ocean. Don't expect subtlety. Do expect to giggle. I'm not gonna lie, I took a selfie with a unicorn pillow. Don't judge me.
Is the view *really* as amazing as the pictures? I'm seeing a lot of perfect sunsets.
Okay, hold up. The pictures? They lie. Okay, not *lie*, but they're… optimized. The view? It's phenomenal. The sunsets? Mostly phenomenal. Sometimes, though, it's cloudy. Sometimes you get a glimpse of a tanker ship ruining the ambiance. One evening, I swear, the sun was *trying* to break through the clouds and it was the most dramatic thing I've ever seen. I almost cried. It was beautiful. But then, right after, the neighbor started his karaoke again, so, you know... But the sunsets? Yeah. Worth it. Bring a bottle of wine (or three) and a good book. And maybe earplugs for the karaoke.
What's the apartment *actually* like, beyond the unicorn theme? Is it clean? Is the bed comfy? Basic necessities?
Alright, real talk. The apartment itself? It's… functional. It's not the Ritz, okay? It's clean-ish. Like, "Paula's definitely tried" clean. The bathroom is a bit… compact. You know how some showers are designed to make you feel like you're wrestling a particularly large octopus? Yeah. That. The bed? Comfy enough after a few glasses of wine. The kitchen has the basics – a fridge that hums, a hob that *mostly* works, and a microwave that I was too scared to look at too closely. Don’t expect a Michelin-star kitchen. Expect a place to make toast and coffee while staring at the ocean. That's the important part.
Is it noisy? I need peace and quiet.
Noise levels? Ah, Tenerife. It's a mixed bag, honey. You've got the ocean – that's good. Then you've got the seagulls – they are *relentless*. They're like the early morning alarm clock from hell. And then… the neighbors. As I mentioned, there's the karaoke. Then there's the occasional dog barking, the scooters zooming past, and the general hum of holiday life. So, peace and quiet? Maybe not all the time. Bring earplugs. Seriously. You'll thank me. I almost lost it one night to a particularly enthusiastic rendition of "Living on a Prayer".
How's the location? Is it easy to get around?
Location, location, location! Paula's place is… well, it's *there*. It's not right in the middle of the main tourist hub, which is a good thing, in my opinion. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach, uphill on the way back – which is the only exercise I got the entire trip (and I still think I gained weight, thanks to the sangria). There are shops and restaurants nearby, but you might want to hire a car if you want to explore the island properly. Parking? A nightmare. Seriously. I spent half an hour circling the block one day, just looking for a spot. So, accessible? Yes. Convenient? Well, let's just say you'll get your steps in.
What about Paula? Is she helpful?
Paula? Ah, Paula. She's… a character. She’s enthusiastic, that's for sure. She's also got that kind of slightly chaotic energy that you either love or find slightly unsettling. She's helpful, in her own way. She'll give you recommendations for restaurants (which are usually pretty good). She might leave you a welcome basket of… let's just say "interesting" snacks. She's not always super responsive to messages, but she genuinely seems to want you to have a good time. Think of her as your eccentric, slightly spacey fairy godmother. Or, you know, just the person who owns the apartment. Either way, she's… Paula.
Is it good for couples?
Couples? Hmm. It depends on your relationship, honestly. If you're the kind of couple who can laugh at the absurdity of a unicorn-themed apartment and embrace the slightly… unconventional vibe, then yes. If you're high-maintenance and expect pristine luxury? Maybe not. It's romantic in a quirky, slightly chaotic way. Picture it: sunset on the balcony, a bottle of wine, and the sound of karaoke in the distance. It's memorable, that's for sure. We definitely had some good laughs, and the memories are way better than the perfect instagram photo would have been. Just be prepared to compromise on the decor.
Would you recommend it, overall?
Alright, the million-dollar question. Would I recommend Paula's Unicorn Apartment? Look, it's not perfect. It's not the most luxurious place I've ever stayed. It might not be everyone's cup of tea. But… it's unique. It's fun. It's got character. And that view? That view is worth it. It's a place you'll remember. It's an experience. I'd say, if you're looking for something a little different, a little quirky, and you don't mind a bit of glitter in your life (and maybe some karaoke), then absolutely. Just… bring earplugs. And a sense of humor. You'll need it.
Is there a pool?
