Cristina is the beach-evening pick for couples. It’s adults only, a minute from Las Canteras, with a pool, a gym and a restaurant for dinner.
It ranks below the Santa Catalina hotels on distance: our map puts the terminal about 1.2 km away, so take a taxi with bags. Breakfast terms aren’t on the listing we read.
